It’s been 3 months since my last Disney Cruise. I find myself day dreaming about our
wonderful Disney vacation.
In addition to EVERYTHING else on the ship, in the ports,
and at Castaway Cay, there’s a part of each day on board that I find is my
favorite. It’s the time of day, late in
the afternoon, almost on the cusp of evening.
It’s the time just before the main dinner seating.
You see, at that time of day, the ship’s energy changes from
one of relaxed and tropical, to a more upbeat fun and energetic vibe. Guests are getting ready for the evening’s
activities and tend to gather in the Lobby Atrium on Deck 3 to greet
characters, pose for photos, and wait for dinner.
Check out the video:
Another part of what makes this time of day my favorite, is
that the ship is typically sailing by this point. I love to see the sea whip past with white
tipped waves out of the big round port holes on Deck 3. I love to feel the slight rocking of the boat
as it hits open sea when we head to dinner.
I like to watch out of the window at dinner—if I can see out a window—a watch
the land fade into the horizon.
This time of day is my favorite also because I know a great
meal awaits me. The menu choices will
dazzle me and I will get to delight in various tastes and smells. I will also get to visit with our table mates
and share the day’s adventures.
After spending most of the day together as a family, I also
know that after the boy finished eating, he will head to the kids club and the
husband and I will finish our meals at a more leisurely pace. And, the husband and I will have time to
ourselves before retrieving the boy from the club to catch a show as a family.
We often stroll deck 4 and take in the sunset, or browse the
shops, or scout out the adult lounges. . . whatever we feel like doing before
rejoining with the boy. The time apart
is healthy and we all look forward to it.
No matter your favorite time of day, there will be something
to enjoy and amuse you and your family on a Disney Cruise.
