When you think about your Disney cruise vacation, it’s likely the memories you play back include more than just the cruise itself. Rewind through all of the fun times, both on the ship and in port, and you’ll find yourself recalling another incredibly special moment: watching your kids’ faces light up with excitement when you first revealed you were going on a Disney cruise.
The memories that come with gifting a Disney cruise are ones you and your family will never forget. What moments do you see when you hit “rewind” on your Disney cruise vacation?

On a guided group vacation to Ireland with Adventures by Disney, you can enjoy more than a few “pinch me” style moments. But, perhaps the most epic is staying three nights in an actual Irish castle!
This unforgettable experience is made even more special by the wealth of opportunities available on the castle grounds (some at an additional cost). From fishing to golfing to having an owl or hawk land straight on your arm, you won’t want to wake up from this dreamlike wonderland.
Watch as Adventures by Disney guest Keaton shows what it’s like to stay in a real-life castle in this video.
All the FUN, and superior customer service on all Adventures by Disney trips. I can tell you first hand how this is a one of a kind experience! I traveled through Germany with my son this summer on an Adventures by Disney and it was hands down the best trip I have ever taken.
Germany wasn’t even on my list of places to visit and now its one of my favorite places. The memories, experiences that you can’t get as the general public and the friendships that were forged, this was an amazing few weeks!

Yesterday was World Okapi Day, and I believe there’s no better way to celebrate this magnificent animal than announcing the birth of one more!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge is celebrating the birth of a rare okapi, who was born on Oct. 1 to mom Zelda. Weighing in at 54 pounds, the calf was up and mobile within the first hour of his birth. He has been nursing and bonding with his mom. The pair will remain in a backstage habitat for the next few months before joining the animals on the savanna.
The calf’s parents – mom Zelda and dad Mandazi – were chosen to breed through the Species Survival Plan (SSP), which is overseen by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) and ensures responsible breeding of threatened and endangered species.
When I visited the okapi care team recently, keeper Kim Thomson expressed how excited she was to care for a new calf and how it changes the dynamics of her team’s routine.
“We will spend a lot of time conducting observations on mom and calf making sure the calf is bonding well with mom, nursing well and basically hitting all of the milestones we would expect of a growing okapi,” Kim said.
Okapis are an endangered species found in rainforests of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Known as the ghosts of the forest, okapis are shy, reclusive and rarely encountered in the wild. In fact, they weren’t even discovered until 1901. There are an estimated 20,000 okapi in the world, and their population continues to decline due to poaching and habitat loss from commercial logging and mining.
Through the Disney Conservation Fund and our involvement in the AZA’s Species Survival Plan, I’m proud to say Disney has been at the forefront of okapi conservation for many years. We have a long-standing relationship with the Okapi Conservation Project in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In fact, the AZA recently recognized Disney’s Animal Kingdom for its contributions to the Okapi Conservation Project.

I love Mondays. They are Magic! I know that I am not in the norm with that one. But my house is quiet on Mondays. Everyone goes back to school or work and I am home, alone, in the quiet.
I work from home so having a house full of people is loud and chaotic and doesn’t afford me the time to get much done. I have 3 kids, 4 if you count my husband, 3 cats and a dog. Plus the numerous other people that come and go from my home. I have a teenager, so friends and the boyfriend are always in and out.
Mondays mean routine returns. I can think straight. Working from home is both a blessing and a curse. I am flexible and can work from anywhere. Working from anywhere means sometimes I am working poolside at a hotel or beachside on an island or even from the Magic Kingdom at Disney World. Working from home affords me the luxury of being able to travel to so many places.
But today its like the calm before the storm. I am home, alone, in the quiet, drinking uninterrupted coffee. I know that in just a few short days, my husband will be jumping on a plane and leaving me home with 3 kids. A few days after that I take the kids and jump on a plane. Ideally, and in a perfect world, we meet up and reunite our family in Florida for a long weekend. But something always goes…..well just goes different!
I have one week to pack, prepare for a 5K, catch up on work, and check into the Polynesian in Florida for the runDisney Darkside race. So plenty of time! And that is the Magic of Mondays and coffee!
I love to travel and I am delightful! It doesn’t matter to where or how we get there. I love a good road trip as much as I love getting on a plane. But one thing I know for sure is that I LOVE the airport. I love the people and the hustle and the bustle. I love the goodbyes and the hellos. I love the hope and possibilities that await. I could do without TSA and lines but I can appreciate the job that they do to keep us all safe. One of the best investments I made last year was getting my TSA precheck card. Luckily I can skip most of those lines. Which is probably why I like the airport more than most people. Besides that, I mean where else is it acceptable to have a cocktail at 8am?
I leave in 2 weeks for my next adventure. I am heading to Florida to run in my first 5K. Why you ask? I have no idea. Well the only answer I have is that I love my friends. So running is a stretch but I will walk quickly! Stay tuned for more updates!
I love Mondays. They are Magic! I know that I am not in the norm with that one. But my house is quiet on Mondays. Everyone goes back to school or work and I am home, alone, in the quiet.
