I still can’t believe I was there, on that beach, under that sun, watching my children splash and swim in that blue, Bahamian sea. It was a Dream come true!
If I could, I would take a Disney Cruise vacation with my family three times a year, every single year for the rest of my life. If I could, I would spend weeks at the white sand beaches of Castaway Cay, Disney’s private island in the Bahamas. It is 100% my ideal, dream-come-true vacation!
I was so fortunate to go on the inaugural sailing of the new ship, The Disney Dream, last week. We were at sea for two nights, and spent one unforgettable day at Castaway Cay. The weather was absolutely perfect and we had an incredible time.
Thanks to Walt Disney World for bringing me on this media trip. Disney covered my expenses, but my opinions – and my love for Disney Cruise Line – is all my own!
Mom Bloggers (and Dad Bloggers too!) post a photo on your site, link up and find others… Wordless Wednesday is tons of fun. (And I know it says “wordless” but I just can’t bear to not write anything! If I had created it, I probably would have named it something different! LOL)
Here is a fun thumbnail linky…
But if you prefer the old style, you can use this linky:
Thanks to Uisce for creating Wordless Wednesday.

Did you know that Susan and I own two online toy stores where you can find adorable toys like a pedal car or a cute rocking horse.
That looks so relaxing.
Funny how Disney remembers my blog for DVD’s but never remembers me for trips…….I wish I was somewhere warm right about now! Thanks for the linky! Even though my Wednesday is not wordless, I thought I’d link up anyway! 🙂
We book our cruise on the Disney Dream for this September, but just had to cancel it after finding out we are pregnant. We’re super excited about baby #4, but bummed about canceling the cruise…we were really looking forward to it!
HI Janice,
I met you on the Dream Christening Cruise (we spoke by the pool in front of the Nemo play area.)
It was great talking with you.
Been to Disney and dying to do one of their cruises! You just solidified my vacation plans for next year!
This is such a great vacation with the kids. Glad you had a great time.
Thanks for hosting.
Oh that looks so gorgeous! Don’t think we will make a cruise this year but dry land Disney? Fingers are crossed:)
What a beautiful view!
Wow- looks like an amazing time!
What an amazing shot! How excited that you were able to go to something like that!
What a fabulous vacation.
Thanks for hosting Wordless Wednesday.
Happy Wednesday!!
XOXOXO!
Sounds wonderful! I would love to take my kids to Disney some day. Hoping I can afford to.
You lucky girl! As you can see from my picture, we are stuck in the snow here, ugh.

Sounds like a dream vacation, I’ve been wanting to do a cruise with our family for a long time. One day. 😉 Happy WW! Love the picture
look like a great time, we would love to go on a disney cruise!
wow- lucky you! what a great opportunity
thanks for the linky! Happy WW!
Janice, that photo is absolutely amazing. So glad that you had a magical experience with your family. Looking forward to hearing more about your trip. Can’t wait to see you again in March.
I was reading your tweets – it looks divine!
I kinda hate you for this picture. We haven’t gone to WDW and want to, soo bad.
I’d LOVE to someday go on a Disney Cruise!!! That picture looks gorgeous.
That does look inviting.
No dream destinations for The Gang today. Just more of the white stuff.
Apparently, with a lot more to come in the next 24 hours. Ugh.

wow, that is so lovely! I’m so glad you got to experience that Janice!! It is, for sure, my dream vacation too. Someday!
Looks awesome, you picked a great destination!
LOL, so you have Disney and the sunny bahamas – I brought a potato to the table this week! A cute, potato-with-a-face potato but still – the Bahamas definitely trumps that!! Glad you had such a great time.
Mine too!
That IS a Dream Vacation! So beautiful – and looks like so much fun! 🙂
That really does look like a dream vacation. I’m so happy you were able to have that experience. What a blessing!
I’ll take the sandy beach, too 🙂 Happy Wednesday!
How amazing that you got to go on a trip like that. How amazing that bloggers have opportunities like this. I’m so glad you guys could experience such an awesome vacation with Disney!
I live in Florida in the home of Mickey Mouse where it’s sunny most of the time, but I am sooooo jealous of your vacation. I would LOVE to do a Disney Cruise. I can dream. Some day.
I remember getting the invite to sign up for it. OH, how I wish we could have gone!!
Looks like a wonderful place… maybe one day we could afford that
ohhhh I want to be there now
We were in Disneyland at the same time you were in Disney World! Happy WW!

Oh how fun…. and how gorgeous!!!!
I’m so jealous… I wanna take my kids to Disney World someday…
Me too! Sigh…
I’m with you! I would be there on that beach several times a year if I could.
thanks for the linky party girls 🙂
Wow – this does look like an ideal, dream vacation! I’ve wanted to do a cruise for a long time.
My cousin’s daughter worked on a Disney Dream ship for years. I think they have to be of a certain age as she now has a new posting on another ship that sails up the coast to Vancouver. She is involved with the children on board. (She is a teacher) .
Oh Jan – That is my dream too!!! Disney, sailing, ocean, beach, sun, sand – all in one? Yep, if I could, I would do that a couple times a year as well. Can’t wait to hear more, what a fantastic opportunity for you and your family!
So happy your dreams came true!
🙂

I love going on cruises…I’ve never been on a Disney one though! I know it must be amazing! 🙂
We went on a Disney cruise in 2009. Castaway Cay was one of our favorite parts! We can’t wait to go on another one….probably next year.
I want to live that dream too:) It looks amazing!
I guess since you can’t just go and play on the red carpet all the time, that would make for a great vacation, but if I could, I would want to go play on the red carpet all the time. Ok, enough about me
The photos I have seen of the ship look amazing!
It looks amazing! I’ve been to WDW many times, but hope to go on the cruise someday. You’re so lucky you got to go!
Oh, that looks fantastic! I want to go!
