Disney Fantasy April 2013: Part 4

June 7, 2013 | Disney, family, Travel

I last left off on part 3 with Bobby wearing my bra. Smile

Did I get your attention? Hehe. The next day, we docked in Costa Maya. We decided to not get off the ship and spend the day taking advantage of the ship with less people. When we sailed here in October, we did the jeep excursion with my parents and had a BLAST, but really there was nothing else on the island we ā€œhadā€ to do and didn’t want to pay for an excursion. We ate breakfast at the buffet then went to the adult pool area/Satellite falls and found some chairs to relax and read in.

We stayed here all morning, and even got to ride the Aqua Duck with about a 10 minute wait. We ate lunch at the buffet and headed back to our chairs for a nice nap. It was a glorious morning!

In the afternoon, we went on the top deck with my stalker camera lens to get some photos of Costa Maya

We then went to the gym for the second time of the trip. We grabbed a snack around 6:00, then relaxed in our room watching movies before getting ready for dinner at PALO! We have done brunch several times but never dinner so we were very excited.

I know this is a short post, but I want to stop here because Palo deserves it’s own post!

QOTD: Thoughts on staying on the ship when it’s in port?

    I stayed on the ship one day when the family did a European cruise. I took advantage of the spa and got a much-needed pedicure šŸ™‚

    Great idea to stay on board a ship while it’s at port. I’m sure most people get off the boat. It’s a great day to go to the spa because it will not be as busy.

    Love staying on the ship when it is in a port I have visited already.

    That’s the great thing about repeating itineraries on ships like the fantasy that has so many things to do onboard. You can stay in and take advantage of less crowded ship or just relax.

    Staying onboard while everyone else is at port is the best!

    I haven’t been on a cruise before but would love to someday! I think if you are totally content and enjoying yourself on the boat then not getting off at port is fine! Relax & enjoy right?!

      yes! lots of relaxing

Getting in a walk or run when I can. Actually drinking my water. Sticking to a skincare routine instead of overthinking it. Paying attention to my hair and scalp instead of just throwing it up and moving on. Nothing extreme, just consistency in the basics.

I’ve also been using Mochi Health for personalized skincare and hair support, and it’s made it way easier to stay on track without guessing what my skin or hair needs.

If you want to try it, there’s $40 off your first month through the link in my bio. @joinmochi #joinmochi mochihealth

Dancing Bear Appalachian Bistro took part in Cork to Fork on the Tennessee Whiskey Trail, and every bite felt like a love letter to local flavor. From bourbon-glazed pork belly to a warm cinnamon-bourbon bread pudding that honestly didn’t stand a chance at our table… this was one of those meals you remember.

Mountain views, chef-driven dishes, and whiskey worked right into the menu in the best way. šŸ˜‹ 

If this is what ā€œone stopā€ on Cork to Fork looks like… I’m curious what the rest tastes like! Head to the website ( šŸ”— in bio) to learn more about the trail and download your free digital passport! @tnwhiskeytrail

Same magic.
Different memories. ✨

I started noticing little signs during my normal day. Just occasional bloating, gas, and that slightly ā€œoffā€ feeling. So instead of ignoring it, I listened. I slowed down, moved more consistently, and added Align Probiotic to my routine.

It’s one capsule a day and the #1 doctor-recommended probiotic brand for over 15 years—. I started taking Align to help relieve my occasional gas, bloating, and stomach discomfort* and now I feel more comfortable moving through my day. @alignprobiotic
