Our first photo of the trip was at the Florida Visitor Center
We spent the first night in Cocoa Beach and then got on the cruise ship the next day

The staterooms are huge with portholes large enough to sit in |
The ship was gorgeous
and decorated for Halloween
First night was Halloween so Ireland dressed as Belle from Beauty and the Beast

We chose the Blue Lagoon Island excursion. It was perfect because we wanted a less crowded experience. I've been here before and knew it would be more peaceful than the Atlantis experience.
Day 3: Castaway Cay
The island was also beautiful but a little crowded for my taste.

Enjoying the view before dark |
We left the ship about 10am and made it to All Star Movies Resort about 11am
We stayed in the Dalmations section
The first day we explored the resort and then went to Downtown Disney in the evening. We ate at Paradiso 37, which was really good
and shopped at the World of Disney, which is the best shop ever. We were all Disney Drunk in that store. Even Michael was a little giddy there.
Day 5: Magic Kingdom

Now that we're back I can focus on crocheting and knitting. I've been consumed by Disney for awhile now.
