I was on the February 24th, 3 night, Disney Dream Cruise with my husband, two sons (3 & 5), and my parents.

Embarkation: We stood and Walt Disney World for 4 days prior to the cruise, then we drove to the port. We arrived at the port around 11:30, parked the car in parking garage, checked in, and registered the kids for the kids club (you have to do this even though you pre-register online because this is where they give you the bracelets. My kids hated wearing the bracelets more on that later). We got boarding group 20 when we got there and were on the boat about 1:10pm. We headed straight up to deck 11 for lunch in Cabanas and our room was ready by the time we were done, and luggage arrived right as we got to the room.

Special Treat: We had the awesome luck to be on board when the Discovery was launching. We also happened to have room 9174 that was in the aft of the boat and watched the launch right from our balcony! What an awesome experience that was!! Read more
