Disney Cruise - Mexican Riviera


Areeba, areeba.... Hannah, Sadie and Jessica all got the privledge of enjoying a Disney Cruise down the Mexican Riviera. They were all packed and ready to go as Brad and I flew in from Miami,  we swapped our luggage out and picked up the kiddies for the flight to California.
ALL ABOARD the funnest cruise ship on the ocean The Disney Wonder!























Day 1- Set sail and Super Bowl party on the pool deck!!
Day 2- Day at sea.. The girls bounced back and forth from the "Teen Scene" to the out door decks. Every night was a fun show to see in the theatre and dinner in a different themed dining room. Tonights show, 101 Dalmations and dinner at Animators Palette, with all the food you could eat. I wanted nothing for dessert and that's what I got!!













Day 3- Day at sea.. By now we had traveled further South so it was warm enough to go swimming in the pools. All us girls got to enjoy a little pampering at the salon. I had a shampoo and style and the girls enjoyed manicures. Before the Disney show the girls put on a show themselves by doing a little karaoke. Dinner was at Parrot Cay.













Day 4- Arrived at Puerto Vallarta so after breakfast we got off the ship for our excursion. We took a speed boat to Playa Beach. There was a quick stop along the way to do a little snorkeling. Once on the island we did a short little hike to a waterfall. Sadie brought some hair bows she and Maddy had made before the trip. She would pin them in the little girls hair. It was cute to see their smiling faces. I put on my brave face and held a huge iguana!! So much fun was had playing on the beach and in the water. Back on the ship it was Pirate themed night.













Day 5- A day at port in Cabo San Lucas. We took a glass bottom taxi to Lovers Beach. More playing on the beach and soaking up the warm sun. (Back home it's in the frigid 30's) We got in a little shopping back at the Cabo port.. Our entertainment on the boat tonight was Toy Story AND Brad and Doug doing karaoke.














Day 6- Another day in Cabo. The itinerary had us moving on to Mazatlan but because of some danger they had us stay here another day. We didn't mind because we were able to go zip lining!! A final show "The Golden Mickey's" and dinner at Triton's.













Day 7- Back to where it all began, Long Beach. We did have some time to visit the  Aquarium on the Pacific before our flight back home. They had a really cool exhibit, a leafy sea dragon which can only be found in the waters off Australia. Brad and Doug broadcasted the Travel Show while we got a personal tour of the place.














This truly was a magical vacation!!

Great trips! You do a great job with good details, and of course lots of pictures. Good job on your collages! We may have gone zip-lining at the same place as you in Cabo, and that beach looked like the same one we went snorkeling on in Puerto Viarta. Looks like everyone had a great time. Loved your "nothing" for dessert, and that you were holding a huge iguana! Wow- you're so brave.
