Now We’re Cruisin!

April 7, 2011 | Uncategorized

 

HOLA! I’ts Friday eve! I hope you are all doing well. I was having a great morning and then something happened that rattled me, and I shouldn’t have let it…it really upset me and ruined my day, and I REFUSE to let that happen today!

I have some GREAT news for Disney fans! yesterday, Disney announced the rest of the 2012 DCL (Disney cruise like) itineraries, and they are a doozie! Lots of new fun to be had! Ok, so check this out: 

New York Sailings
Beginning May 25, 2012, the Disney Magic® will sail a total of 20 cruises from New York.
* 8-night Bahamian cruises include a day at Disney’s Castaway Cay and a stop at Port Canaveral, gateway to the Walt Disney World® Resort. As part of this itinerary, your Client will receive a one-day Park Hopper® Ticket and roundtrip transportation between the ship and resort.
* 5-night Canadian/New England cruises will visit Halifax, Nova Scotia, and Saint John, New Brunswick.
* 2-night cruises are perfect for Clients looking for a quick getaway at sea over a weekend.

Seattle Sailings
Beginning May 28, 2012, the Disney Wonder® will sail a total of 14 cruises to Alaska from the Port of Seattle, Wash.
* 7-night Alaskan cruises will call on Tracy Arm, Skagway, Juneau and Ketchikan plus Victoria, British Columbia.

Galveston Sailings
Beginning Sept. 22, 2012, the Disney Magic will sail 12 cruises from the Port of Galveston, Texas.
* 7-night Western Caribbean cruises will visit Costa Maya and Cozumel in Mexico, as well as Grand Cayman.

Los Angeles Sailings
In addition to 7-night Mexican Riviera cruises, the Disney Wonder will set sail on Disney’s first-ever voyage to Hawai‘i on April 29, 2012.
* 15-night Hawaiian cruise departs from the Port of Los Angeles and includes stops at Hilo; Kahului, Maui; Honolulu, Oahu; Nawiliwili, Kauai and Ensenada, Mexico.
* 7-night Pacific Coast cruises will call on San Francisco, San Diego and Ensenada, Mexico.

The Disney Dream™ will continue to sail 3-, 4- and 5-night Bahamian cruises. The new Disney Fantasy™ will offer Eastern and Western Caribbean itineraries, beginning with the maiden voyage on March 31, 2012. Sail dates for both ships are now available through December 2012.

WHOAH that’s a lot of information, I know. SO basically these sailings are fairly limited, and you can start booking them TOMORROW! So those of you living in New York, Texas, and LA, DCL is coming for you! A lot of people will be happy to know the Alaskan cruises are now going out of Seattle for next summer, that will save a lot of $$ on airfare for people!

If you have never been on a Disney Cruise you are totally missing out. I was even skeptical until I went, and I am definitely a convert! I don’t even have kids and it’s awesome. Disney does such a great job of having adults only areas on the ship and on Castaway Cay, I honestly didn’t even see kids all that much! And, if you have kids, Disney has THE BEST kids clubs around. I have seen kids CRYING because they didn’t want to leave the kids club and go with mom and dad. The clubs are open late, and they will even pick kids up at the restaurants midway through dinner so they don’t have to sit through a long boring dinner.

Ok sorry about that, I could ramble on and on and on about DCL, if you ever want me to just ask. If you would like a quote for a cruise from now until the end of 2012 I would be more than happy to give you a free no obligation quote. Just e mail me at heather AT travelwiththemagic DOT com. Of If you would like a Disneyworld quote, non Disney quote, anything! Also Disneyworld has some discounts on deluxe hotels out for summer right now!

Ok moving on, I promise!

So last night I made Bobby do my 6 weeks in 6 pack video with me since he was making fun of me for being sore. heh. This morning the first thing I said to him was “are you sore?!” He said he was. YAY! Now maybe he will take my DVD more seriously I know he was always proud of me but it was still fun to torture him.

I am starting to see a difference in my body from doing the DVD. It’s a SMALL difference, but I am starting to get a LITTLE bit of ab definition. (NOT a 6 pack though!) hopefully that will become more obvious in the next 2.5 weeks. I would hate to not be able to post my before and after photos because there is no difference!

Ok, I have to go to Target and spend all my money, then clean bathrooms. Oh joy! (and of course do my ab workout!) I hope everyone has a great day!

QOTD: Does your significant other workout with you?

My wrist are so weak that plank kills me!!! I am in the same boat as you but IDK if I can get him to join me 🙂

      that it so my problem. I am too weak to hold myself up in plank to do these things!

    I need to make david do the 6 week 6 pack! lol. He’s probably quit quarter of the way through. haha. I’m thinking about buying it so I can have the level 2- I saw it on amazon for $10 and free shipping!

    • Heather says

      April 7, 2011 at 2:19 pm

      I got mine from amazon. I love that site!

    Ahh those cruises look like a blast! I am excited to see what you think of that dvd I definitely am thinking about ordering it!

    I am SO excited about the Canadian cruises…that is, as long as they aren’t full by the time I’m able to book! LOL Yay for new exciting iternaries! I think the NY to CC cruise is interesting….that’s a lot of “at sea” days with only 2 port stops…curious to see how that will work!

    • Heather says

      April 7, 2011 at 5:56 pm

      there are a few that have a lot of sea days…I think i would get bored after 2. Thats why I liked the 7 nighter that did cozumel, ket west, grand cayman, and CC with 2 sea days. it was perfect for us!

    I’m not that familiar with Disney cruises. Is this the first time they’ve left from NY? It would be so awesome if they kept that up. I’m not going on a cruise anytime soon, but it would be so much cheaper for us to be able to leave from NY instead of having to fly down to Florida.
    And to answer your question, most of the time I’d rather exercise alone.

    • Heather says

      April 7, 2011 at 10:48 pm

      Yes! This is the first time it will br leaving out of NYC! Trying to make it easier for some!

San Diego snaps. 📸 Did you know Disney makes it San Diego snaps. 📸 

Did you know Disney makes it SO easy to fly into San Diego for a @disneycruiseline vaca? 🚢 (ad)

Let’s break it down :
1.) Flew into the San Diego airport
2.) Took a Lyft to @grandhyattsandiego which is super close by
3.) Walked right downstairs for dinner @seaport_village 
4.) The next morning you walk downstairs to a special table in the lobby to check in with DCL, show your passport, be extra luggage tags etc.
5.) Leave your luggage at the door of your hotel room. They will collect it and put it on the bus for you. 
6.) Meet downstairs at your designated time and board the bus
7.) Super short 5 min ride to the port on the Disney bus
8.) They handle your luggage, you just get on the ship! 🚢 

It was so nice having everyone nearby and coordinated for us! I highly recommend arriving a day before your cruise anyway if you are flying, and Disney made it seamless. 
Note that right now, the Grand Hyatt is the only San Diego area hotel that has the service of the Disney bus transportation to the port. 

Know what’s even more seamless? Having an agent from @bestdayevervacay plan all of this for you at no additional cost! Click the link in my bio and you can get a free, no obligation quote and start planning your magical vacation!

A huge thanks to Disney and @bestdayevervacay for making this possible and sending us on this trip! ✨

Behind every beach day, every poolside moment, eve Behind every beach day, every poolside moment, every bit of Disney magic, photoshoot, late night, and smiling photo, there are hours of work, rejection emails, a few missteps, and a lot of learning. 

Grateful for every single step of the journey, even the hard ones. ✨

#ad Turns out my patio didn’t need a full makeover #ad Turns out my patio didn’t need a full makeover… it just needed the right planters 🌿 

I walked into @loweshomeimprovement (garden center = instant mood boost) and found these allen + roth & planters that look designer but are actually budget-friendly. Exactly the kind of upgrade I love: big impact without the big price tag. 

Swipe to see the before → after because WOW. New planters + fresh plants completely brought this space back to life. I love how versatile they are too, perfect for patios, porches, or even indoors. If your outdoor space is looking a little… tired (same 😅), this is your sign to refresh it for spring. 

Grab them in-store at Lowe’s or through the link in my bio 🔗

It’s Friday. Jesus is praying. Peter’s a sleeping. It’s Friday.
Jesus is praying.
Peter’s a sleeping.
Judas is betraying.
But Sunday’s comin’.

It’s Friday.
Pilate’s struggling.
The council is conspiring.
The crowd is vilifying.
They don’t even know that Sunday’s comin’.

It’s Friday.
The disciples are running
Like sheep without a shepherd.
Mary’s crying.
Peter is denying.
But they don’t know that Sunday’s a comin’.

It’s Friday.
The Romans beat my Jesus.
They robe him in scarlet.
They crown him with thorns.
But they don’t know that Sunday’s comin’.

It’s Friday.
See Jesus walking to Calvary.
His blood dripping.
His body stumbling.
And his spirit’s burdened.
But you see, it’s only Friday.
Sunday’s comin’.

It’s Friday.
The world’s winning.
People are sinning.
And evil’s grinning.

It’s Friday.
The soldiers nail my Savior’s hands to the cross.
They nail my Savior’s feet to the cross.
And then they raise him up next to criminals.

It’s Friday.
But let me tell you something,
Sunday’s comin’.

It’s Friday.
The disciples are questioning.
What has happened to their King.
And the Pharisees are celebrating
That their scheming has been achieved.
But they don’t know It’s only Friday.
Sunday’s comin’.

It’s Friday.
He’s hanging on the cross.
Feeling forsaken by his Father.
Left alone and dying.
Can nobody save him?
Ooooh It’s Friday.
But Sunday’s comin’.

It’s Friday.
The earth trembles.
The sky grows dark.
My King yields his spirit.
It’s Friday.
Hope is lost.
Death has won.
Sin has conquered and Satan’s just a laughin’.

It’s Friday.
Jesus is buried.
A soldier stands guard.
And a rock is rolled into place.
But it’s Friday. It is only Friday.
Sunday is a comin’! ☀️
