Disney Dream part 4

June 24, 2011 | Uncategorized

 

FFFFRRRIIIDDDAAYY! I am excited for today. The girls in my Sunday school class are coming over tonight for an ice cream party! Then tomorrow I am running 5 miles with my TNT group along the beach. Excited to train with them!

I know I said this before, but for those of you crazy kids loathing the Disney posts, they are almost over, and I will be back to regular running and healthy living posts!

In case you missed the first three…

Ok so the day after Nassau was our sea day. We knew the pools would be ridiculously crowded, so we avoided them. We had Palo brunch at 10:00, so we sat on the couches by the adult pool eating bananas to hold us over until then. Bobby and I did brunch on the Magic and were excited for my parents to experience it, and we of course has never done Palo brunch on the Dream.

It was so nice and fancy! We were seated by the window, and introduced to our server.

We were brought to the food, and the server showed us around to the different tables, then told us about the items we could order off the menu.

We made our first go around and dug in!

we ate….and ate…..and ate!

then we had dessert!

In case you didn’t know, Dessert is always my favorite.

the bathroom was really, really pretty. I know I am a dork.

After we ate ourselves into a food coma, we all went into our room and watched Little Fockers. It was ok, not near as funny as the first one. They never really are, sadly.

We wandered around the ship to walk our food off that afternoon.

and then sat on our verandahs and read books. So peaceful!

I really can’t remember what we did the rest of the day. I am betting I took a nap HA! I think we may have gone to the show that night in the theatre. it was semi formal night, so we got semi-dressed-up (haha) for dinner.

I borrowed this dress and it was a bit too big on me. whoops.

 

Dinner was in the Royal Palace. Look how cute the bread basket is!

ffffooooooddddd

we had a friend hanging out in the room after dinner.

_____________________________________________________________________

yesterday I did a 3 mile speed workout on the treadmill while Bobby was getting a massage. poor thing can’t even sit in a car straight up without being in excruciating pain. He has been knocked out on and off all day!

Today I am doing cross training and maybe some weights or abs before my TNT run tomorrow. Now I am off to clean for the party tonight!

QOTD: what is your favorite ice cream topping?

    I’m lovin’ your Disney posts… we went on a 5- night sailing on the Dream about a week after you and LOVED it so kind of re-living it through your detailed posts 🙂 We’d read all the complaints about the super crowded pools before sailing on Cruise Critic and so were a little worried about that… but honestly even on the at sea day we had no issues … no we couldn’t swim laps in the pool 😉 but had no problems finding chairs and were able to get in the pools to get wet without an issue and even on the at sea day I think the longest we waited for the Aquaduck was 30 mins (we rode that a lot… so fun!)

    Yum!! Ice cream party!! Hm, probably hot fudge and caramel mixed together. Or strawberries and whip cream. I am such a sugar person!! The brunch looks super yummy – especially the desserts!! And the view from the verandah is so peaceful!!

This holiday season, I’m making my life a little easier with gift cards from Kroger. I grab a DoorDash card in-store, clip both the 4X and bonus 1X digital coupons in the Kroger app, and then I’m earning 5x fuel points while powering through the holiday hustle. 🎄

✨ It’s such a simple way to save at the pump while still checking off my holiday to-dos: decorating, wrapping, or just enjoying a cozy night in. Grab a Doordash, Lowes or One4All gift card at Kroger and clip both coupons at the link in my bio to earn 5X fuel points, but hurry, this offer ends 11/27!

Staying in an A-Frame cabin by Zook cabins at Val Staying in an A-Frame cabin by Zook cabins  at Valley Bear Farms felt like stepping into a real-life Pinterest board 🤍 (ad)

These architectural gems mix rustic charm with modern design—think soaring wood ceilings, giant picture windows, and a dreamy soaker tub that makes you never want to leave. 😍

We even brought our dogs along (yes, it’s dog-friendly!) and watched deer wander by through the trees. 🐾 

Valley Bear Farms is tucked in the mountains of North Carolina, surrounded by peaceful forest views and plenty to explore. The property has hiking trails, a cozy general store, and other on-site amenities that make it feel like a little mountain village all its own. ⛰️

Not ready for a phone yet? SAME. 🙋‍♀️ The Cosmo Not ready for a phone yet? SAME. 🙋‍♀️ 

The Cosmo JrTrack 5 Smartwatch has been the perfect in-between for us — she can call and text the people I approve, I can see where she is with GPS, and it has school mode, SOS, activity tracking, and even a little camera she loves. 

We got the Holiday Bundle with the screen protector and LaunchPad stand, and it honestly just makes the whole thing easier. 

If you want the link, comment “watch” and I’ll have it sent straight to your inbox. 🎄⌚️✨

There’s just something about the holidays in the Smoky Mountains — the lights, the laughter, the togetherness — it all feels extra magical. #sponsored

Our first stop was Dolly Parton’s Stampede, the world’s most visited dinner attraction, and it’s easy to see why. The pre-show in the Stampede Saloon had us singing along to country and Christmas classics before we sat down for a four-course feast that could rival any holiday dinner. 🐴 

Then the arena came alive with 32 magnificent horses, trick riders, and dancers bringing the spirit of the season to life with a friendly North vs. South Pole rivalry, toys that come alive, and even Santa arriving in a horse-drawn sleigh. Pure holiday joy from start to finish! 🎅🏻 

Next up was the Titanic Museum Attraction, beautifully transformed into an Elegant Edwardian Christmas, giving Titanic the Christmas voyage she never got.  We each received a boarding pass with the name of a real passenger, explored the Grand Staircase, and even touched the icy 28-degree water.  The interactive exhibits made history come alive, and it was such an emotional, unforgettable experience for all of us. 

And to end the weekend, we dove into adventure at Pirates Voyage Dinner & Show.  Led by Captain Blackbeard himself, the Crimson and Sapphire crews battled for treasure with acrobatics, mermaids, fire stunts, and even a sea lion! Between the four-course pirate feast and the jaw-dropping stunts, it was nonstop fun and the perfect grand finale to our Pigeon Forge weekend. 🏴‍☠️ 

 This trip reminded me that time together really is the best gift. Add Pigeon Forge and these incredible attractions to your holiday must-do list this season. ❤️

Comment “Pigeon Forge” and I’ll send you links to grab your tickets before they sell out!
