In a continuation to the last
blog post, I'm here to talk about my Florida trip.
We took a Disney cruise from Orlando, FL to the Bahamas, and it was by-far the BEST trip I have ever experienced. I immensely enjoyed it; the unlimited food, the ice cream service, the entertainment, EVERYTHING.
Not surprising to most, I took loads of pictures. The cruise was filled with little details here and there, and it was amazing to see.

Disney has done an amazing job at creating a happy, magical atmosphere; from the entrance of the port, to the state rooms, it was absolutely breathtaking. It brought back memories from my early childhood. It was magical.

The stateroom we stayed in was a tad-bit small to fit our huge luggage, but it was really cool. I loved how they would put chocolates on the pillows at night and make the towels into an animal.
On the afternoon we embarked, the ship threw a huge party on the upper deck to celebrate our "Disney Adventure." There was music, dancing and some of the characters even came out. Let's just say the adults got really happy and enjoyed that way more than the kids did.

| Only good photo; There were waaaay to much people blocking the view. ahaha! |
Disney Cruise has a rotational dining system so that guests could experience all three sit-down restaurants during the cruise. Our first night was at Lumiere's. It was a French restaurant based on the movie, Beauty and the Beast. I was absolutely thrilled upon entering the place. Belle was one of my favorite princesses, and seeing the dining room made my internal princess go crazy.

We were a little late for dinner, but luckily our servers (bless them) were very accommodating and began serving our party with ALL the dishes on the menu. Miss Emily, who was a fellow Filipino, even invited the head chef out to come and meet us. They offered to cook us Sinigang on the next night, and even TapSiLog on Sunday morning. (For those of you who don't know what Sinigang is it's a viand with sour soup, vegetables, and meat)

| Their Escargot was super delicious because it was smothered in some buttery concoction. |

| Feta-cheese ravioli. It was aaamaaaziiiing. |

| We also celebrated Brighton's (my mom's friend's son) 5th birthday! They gave us all cake and sang to us! |
After dinner, I decided to go around the cruise ship while the others prepared to go watch a musical show. I walked around, and saw Minnie Mouse! Of course being the kid that I am, I run over to her and get a picture.
That same night, we saw Twice Charmed at the Walt Disney Theatre. It
was a classic spin on Cinderella's story with the evil queen preventing
Cinderella from marrying Prince Charming. The lights and sound were
amazing!
Breakfast at Disney is truly exquisite. They have a vast array of breakfast food; whether you opt for the healthy choice, or the not-so-healthy choice, there's a TON of food. As usual, I went for my classic English muffin with cream cheese, eggs and bacon. I also got some of their ever-famous Mickey Waffles, which are to-die for. If I could eat anything for a lifetime, it would be those waffles. It was just a regular waffle, but there's something that makes a Mickey Waffle taste so good.
 |
| Yes, my plate wasn't full of food. I was scared I'd come out 300 pounds heavier if I ate too much! |

After touring our first port of call at Nassau, the kids and I decided to go try out their water play area. The sun was warm. It was a sunny afternoon and it was good time to go try their water slides. They have a roller coaster type slide called the AquaDunk. You literally step in a tube, and they press a button to drop you 80 ft. down. It was the best thing ever.
 |
| The AquaDunk: BEST. SLIDE. EVER. |
Our second night, dinner was at Animator's Palate. This was probably my favorite restaurant that we ate at. The design was gorgeous. It was like walking in an animation studio. The details were really precise. The dining room starts off as a black and white sketch of cartoon characters. Halfway through dinner, there was a show where they colored all the drawings and showed clips of their best animated movies. In the end, Sorcerer Mickey came out along with our servers. It was like magic before my eyes.

| Can we just take a moment to admire Eugene Fitzgerald?! |
 |
| Even their butter knife is paintbrush-themed! |
As promised, Miss Emily brought us our much-awaited Sinigang na Sugpo at Salmon with Kanin. (Sour soup with shrimp and salmon, and rice on the side) She also gave us three of everything on the menu including dessert! After dinner, Chef Edgar, the head chef, came out again to meet us. He cooked all our delicious food. Him and his team are just amazing.
