What To Pack for a Day at a Disney Park

The
 I will admit that one of the huge perks that helped me fall in love with living in Florida was the ready, easy access to all things Disney.  When we moved two summers ago we researched the available annual pass options at Walt Disney World and within a few months of becoming Florida residents, we were Premium Annual Pass holders (yeah, we went “all in” lol).
We enjoy the flexibility of spontaneous visits and the low pressure to see and do everything when we’re at any given park.  If we miss a fast pass or a parade or it starts pouring rain we can easily change plans and the kids understand that they can always catch their favorite ride or see their favorite show at any other time.

Our last full day on the Disney Dream started with breakfast in the Enchanted Garden restaurant.  Our entire crew made it this time; we had spoken so highly of our breakfast there the day before that my in laws decided to join us.  We were seated promptly and then allowed to proceed to the buffet.  The restaurant, not surprisingly, was much busier on this morning since we were at sea and everyone was having their meals, somewhere on the ship.  Despite the slight crowds the staff kept the buffet lines moving smoothly and were attending to the tables very well.  Our server took our breakfast beverage orders and we also placed orders with him for custom omelets from the kitchen.  We ate well and enjoyed a relaxing meal together.

November was a busy month for our family, bringing a milestone birthday for my father in law and the 10 year anniversary for my hubby and me.  To celebrate we booked a 4 night Disney cruise leaving from Port Canaveral during the first week of December, right after the Thanksgiving holiday.

Our first stop on the Disney Dream cruise was Nassau, Bahamas.  As this was my 7nth cruise I was familiar with what the island had to offer but hadn’t done a real sightseeing tour in many years.  We planned to take a private tour to see many of the highlights of the island.
