Our Satcy Princess has been wishing (ever since she saw Cindy go on a grad trip) that when she got old enough to graduate, she could go on a Disney Cruise and to Disney World with a couple of her friends. So she saved up her $$ for about 6 years and well we all know what happens when you wish on a star...........
Sometimes your wishes come true! Stacey, Brittany, Kylie, and Bryson and I met dad in Orlando over Spring Break. (That is after 1 cancelled flight, 1 unexpected stay in Chicago, and just making the shuttle to the cruise ship!)
Our first stop off the cruise ship. Atlantis Resort. Beautiful aquariums, underground ruins and amazing water slides and pools. We had a fun day.
Some of the waterslides..........we liked the lazy river that had a surprise wave around one of the corners the best.
Part of the underground aquariums at Atlantis.
This is one of the pool and hotel areas. This is truly one of the most massive resorts I've ever been too. We forgot our sunscreen so I walked up to the shops (there's a whole mall inside) and it took me 45 minutes to get back to dad and the kids!
When we first got on the boat, the weather was really unsettled and windy. After we ate lunch, Bryson and dad were playing ping pong as the boat pulled out of the harbor and Bryson slipped and cut his arm. What is it with Bryson and Disney injuries?!
Always a fun part of a Disney Cruise.........seeing what your maid will make the towels into! This cool monkey borrowed a pair of our sunglasses.
It was pirate night on the cruise. We all dressed up in our pirate hats and had a great time, Arrgghh!
Dad talked all the kids into trying Escargot. As you can tell, Stacey didn't enjoy it too much. Bryson wasn't going to let the girls show him up!
We lucked out and got to do something we've never done before..........we happened to be coming up from the beach at Castaway Cay right when they were calling for people to come participate in the International Crab Races. They only chose 8 teams. Bryson chose the name of Crabby Canuck for the Canada team. We made it to the finals, but then our little Crabby Canuck ran out of steam. Or maybe the sidewalk was just too hot!
Go Team Canada!!
It was sooooooo cool!! They had the Flying Dutchman from the Pirates movies in the harbor at Castaway Cay. We got really great photo's with Captain Jack too!
After the cruise, we spent 4 days at Disney World. Ok, so the next few pictures are especially for Landon!
Tanning on the sidewalk while we waited for the parade to start at the Magic Kingdom. The sun felt pretty good to us!
It looks like the perfect end to a Superfantabulous Grad Trip and this blog entry would have to be fireworks. I sat on the bench in front of the castle for 4 hours to get this great view (your welcome Stacey)!
4 down and only one grad trip left to go!!!! Halelujah!!!

"4 down and 1 left to go"? you say that as if it is a good thing but we all know you live for these trips.
check out all the comments
nice pics
take us there next time
Sure.....but I'm confident by the time Bryson graduates, he'll want to go to Micronesia or Madagasgar or Christmas Island or something. With 12 friends......all of which can't pay.......and don't have their passports......and aren't old enough to check in by themselves........and need help planning the whole thing.......and I'm tired.
Hmmm, I think you forgot that all of his friends will want Alaskan King Crab legs for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Maybe you better just take us instead (we like cereal). The pictures are awesome, and again, we find ourselves wanting MORE DISNEY!!! We'll show Landon the pics when he wakes up (although then he'll probably go to the door, put on his crocs and say "Disneyland?").
Just think how much fun he'll have on the Disney Cruise! Parker will even be old enough to really enjoy it. Can't wait!
