Day 1: Southbound…

Finally after counting down since he 18th of January it’s time for a new Disney experience, a Disney Cruise! But firsf we need to travel south to the sunshine state since we embark the Disney Dream in Port Canaveral! 

For the first time ever we have an evening flight to the sunshine state. Reason was quite simple it was way cheaper as all the other options and since departure was at 8:00pm we thought Emily would sleep throughout the flight! 
Late afternoon, right after Emily woke up from her afternoon nap we left with 3 suitcases, 3 backpacks and a stroller. 

At Pearson International Airport everything went smooth, no lines, Emily had a blast waving at everyone. Yes, also to the grumpy person at customs who ended up smiling to her. 

After all the necessary things were done we went to Wahlburgers, a restaurant from the chain owned by Mark Wahlberg and his brothers. Danielle and I found the food mediocre at best, but Emily loved the fries she finished a whole adult size portion on her own! 

After dinner we still had 1,5 hour left before boarding and so we explored the whole terminal, very boring if we didn’t had Emily to run around and make fun. 

20 minutes before boarding Emily changed in her PJs as we imagined she would fall a sleep as soon as the engines started… 

The flight started good, we had an extra seat! But Emily decided to do everything but sleeping, she cried a couple times and when we landed she was still awake but very tired and still happy… 

Since we booked the Hyatt Regency in the Airport terminal we first checked in and went to the room. I went back to get our suitcases. In just 5 minutes I got back and Emily was ready to go to bed. 

But she didn’t want to go to bed, she started crying and screaming on top her longs. Lucky for us it took us only a couple minutes to figure out that she missed her bedtime story and brushing her teeth… that’s how bedtime routines backfire on parents! 

Now she is a a sleep like her mama and I’m so excited that I can’t sleep… tomorrow at 8:30 Disney will pick up our suitcases and at 9:00 we plan to board the Disney Cruise Line bus to the port!

For every one who wants to see us leaving tomorrow at 4:30pm EST, 22:30 in Europe here is a link to a webcam:

More blogs about the cruise and our new adventures in Greater Orlando will follow after the cruise while internet connectivity is not so stable and very expensive!
