The Disney Wonder set sail from Galveston for a 7-day cruising adventure, stopping at Key West, Nassau, and Castaway Cay on Christmas Day. This was a dream vacation for our family!
We met all the Disney characters, Avengers, and Princesses, celebrated Christmas with tons of special activities, experienced fabulous theatre productions, movies, Pirate Night at Sea, played in the Caribbean sun and on Castaway Cay's beautiful beach and in our own cabana, enjoyed kids club, wine tastings, the spa, fireworks, and more...it was amazing!

Formal Night with these these cuties!
On Formal night, we dined in Triton's and then saw The Golden Mickeys.
It was a great show, seeing all the characters on the red carpet, and then watching many Disney classic songs performed live. Cruella received worst villain and she was definitely extra evil in her performance!
Key West was our first port. The kids stayed on board and Michael and I walked around this cute little quaint town.
Look who we found cleaning the ship! :)
While on board, Susannah worked on a gingerbread house. Too cute!
