On Mousesteps Weekly #88, we talk about our Disney Dream cruise experience on the first two days of our cruise, including:

Our stateroom with a verandah. Each day we came back to the room to a different towel creation (sometimes two!) This is a detailed look at the stateroom.

We talk about several of the restaurants we dined at, including Cabanas, Royal Palace and Animator's Palate. Each restaurant is unique, and offers different cuisine and a different theme. Next week we will be talking about the Remy brunch and Palo!

The sail-away party, which included a variety of Disney characters (Daisy, Donald, Mickey, Minnie, Chip & Dale, Pluto and Goofy).

Character meet-and-greets including with Captain Mickey, Ariel, Princess Anna, Donald, Daisy and Minnie. There are a TON of character meet-and-greets on the Disney Dream and it'd be very hard to visit all of them.

We made a quick visit to Nassau before heading back onto the ship and taking a tour that included Remy and Palo. The guided tour is free!

Jeff talks about the AquaDuck, we rode it twice at night but they weren't allowing video (we do have video from the Disney Dream media/Inaugural cruise during the day)

Recorded 02/09/14 Featuring Commentary from Denise Preskitt and Jeff Lange.

One of the highlights on the Disney Dream cruise was the "See Ya Real Soon" character finale show! The characters that include Mickey, Minnie, Daisy, Donald and Goofy plus Disney Princesses Ariel, Snow White and Tiana meet guests in the lobby for 15 or so minutes, and then perform before saying farewell until next time!

In Mousesteps Weekly #89, we talk about:

Our Disney Dream cruise final two days (of 4).

At Castaway Cay, we met a wealth of characters, including Jack Sparrow, Mickey, Minnie, Pluto and Goofy! Dining at the BBQ place near Serenity Bay was a treat, with ribeye, bratwurst and chicken.

Jeff went snorkeling on the family beach and found not only the 20K submarine and Mickey Mouse statue (both he'd seen before), but a Minnie statue that appeared to be newer.

Jeff also swam out to Pelican Plunge to try out the two slides. This area was built in 2010, and drops riders into the ocean!

We enjoyed Pirate Night that night on the Disney Dream, with the Buccaneer Blast fireworks putting the final flourish on the evening! We met Mickey, Goofy, and Captain Hook with Mr. Smee in their pirate finest. We didn't realize that there was a buffet that night, we stopped by for a snack - save room for something here during your cruise!

On our final day (our one day "at sea"), we enjoyed the Remy Champagne Brunch. The dining room is gorgeous, and the food is french inspired. We take a detailed look at the restaurant and food.

Goofy and Max made one appearance during our cruise, and there was quite a line for them!

We stop by an "Anyone Can Cook seminar to learn about making lobster ravioli. Free sample portions and a glass of wine are provided at this free event. We then take a quick look at the AquaDuck before enjoying the "See Ya' Real Soon Show" that evening.

No longer on the cruise, we went to the Magic Kingdom, where a wall has come down at the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. Lush waterfalls, large rocks and a nice drop are seen from this angle.

In Mousesteps Weekly #84, we talk:

Camp Minnie-Mickey, which closed forever after January 5th. We were there for the last day to take photos and video, and to meet characters (including Pocahontas, Meeko, Donald and Chip & Dale) on their trails. We also met Governor Ratcliffe, who we rarely see in the parks! Meeko and Chip & Dale can't keep their paws out of our bags, searching for food. Camp Minnie-Mickey will be closing for the creation of an Avatar inspired land.

We now have Universal Studios annual passes, and we took some photos around the park while enjoying the last day of Grinchmas. We used our Photo Connect passes for some fun photos, we highly recommend Photo Connect! Our dinner was at Finnegan's, a terrific meal at a reasonable price.

We talk about the upcoming Cabana Bay Resort, which is a moderate/value resort opening this year at Universal. They also now have Minion rooms at Loews Portofino Bay Resort, and changes are happening to CityWalk!

We found the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train running at the Magic Kingdom, we look forward to it's opening in 2014!

There are many things to look forward to in 2014, we look at a few of them including Harry Potter 2.0 at Universal Studios; The Festival of Fantasy Parade at the Magic Kingdom, and the Epcot Flower and Garden Festival! New Kermit and Miss Piggy topiaries will be at the Festival this year.

We spent Jeff's birthday at the Magic Kingdom, and were glad to see that the "Let the Memories Begin" sign is now gone! The trolley show was being held with the fire engine, and we look around the park as January brings construction and refurbishments. The Incredibles Super Dance Party included Mr. and Mrs. Incredible along with Frozone.

We take a last look back at fireworks over the Main Street Train Station!

This is a behind-the-scenes look at the excitement during the Good Morning America taping with Ty Pennington, Emeril Lagasse, along with the fab 5 of MIckey, Minnie, Goofy, Donald and Pluto! The characters were in top form for the early morning event! We take a quick look inside the building at some of the Disney touches and the gift shop.
