Disney Magic Photos

September 4, 2015 | blogging, Disney, Travel

I have really been missing cruising lately, and as I was going through some photos on my computer earlier this week, I came across these from when I sailed on the Disney Magic right after it was refurbished a couple of years ago. Disney went to great lengths to update this ship, and while it is still lacking in some areas, it looks much better than it did before.

One thing I love about the Magic is how cozy it feels. Bigger isn’t always better!

Now that I have a little one, I have been paying more attention to photos of kid areas.

Yes, I went down the slinky dog slide!

Superhero fun anyone?

I did NOT go on the new waterslide!

Disney made the rooms all look like the staterooms on the Dream and the Fantasy.

Something a lot of people didn’t notice was that Disney added shaded areas over some of the pool chairs. Definitely needed!

Also don’t forget there is an all new restaurant that took the place of Parrot Cay.

    I’ve been on the Dream twice (last time was concierge) and the Wonder once. I really liked the Wonder for the size and “coziness”, but the Dream concierge level is unreal. If they upgrade the Wonder to have a concierge lounge and other amenities like the Dream, I would definitely consider another cruise. I would love to do a 7-night on the Fantasy but they are pricing the average family out.

    I just registered for the Castaway Cay Challenge after the WDW Marathon weekend next January. I’ve been on two cruises before, both with Norwegian Cruise Lines, but I’ve never been on a Disney cruise and my husband has never been on any cruise. I loved seeing these pictures of the Magic. It looks like such a beautiful ship, I hope the Dream will be as nice!

I turned 40 today. 🎉 Hitting a milestone like t I turned 40 today. 🎉 Hitting a milestone like this has me reflecting—not just on what I’ve accomplished, but on who I’m becoming.

I’ve always been driven to achieve, to push, to prove. But lately, I’ve been learning to celebrate presence over performance, connection over perfection.

Today wasn’t about checking a box or hitting a goal—it was about pausing, feeling grateful, and eating a ridiculous amount of cake with people I love. And honestly? That feels like growth.

Here’s to 40: more aligned, more grounded, and still a little extra. 😉

Turning 40 tomorrow. 🎂 Big milestones always Turning 40 tomorrow. 🎂 

Big milestones always make me pause and ask:
What am I proud of?
What needs to shift?
Am I becoming the woman I want to be?

💡 As an Enneagram 3, I’ve always been wired to achieve — and for a long time, that meant shaping myself into whatever version I thought people would like best.

There are tables where it’s clear I’m not welcome — and that used to wreck me.
But at 40? I don’t do cliques. I don’t do shrinking or contorting to be accepted. 👀

I’ll always be kind. I’ll always be respectful. But I’m done dragging a chair to tables that were never built for me.

I’m moving over. Making space.
Creating my own table.

So went with Simple Modern. 🙌🏼

Their backpack, lunch box, and water bottle combo keeps us both happy: fun colors and styles she loves, and quality this mom can stand behind. Durable, easy to clean, and built to last the full school year (and beyond).

Let kids be kids—but let moms be smart. 😉
