Last Friday we left for our second cruise on the Disney Dream! We took our first cruise back in March of 2014 when Lilly was just six months old. John’s boss at work has been so kind and gracious to gift some of his staff this trip the last two years, and we were SO excited to have another opportunity to go!

We had a BLAST the first time around, and now that Lilly is two, we KNEW she’d be so fun to take again! And boy, were we right! She, quite literally, was a giant ball of joy the ENTIRE time. Pretty much constantly smiling. Whatever we were doing at that current moment was the MOST FUN THING EVER. Whether it was meeting a character, having a dance party, going to the beach, or pressing the buttons on the elevator – it was the MOST FUN. I had so much fun just watching HER have fun.

I wanted to share some pictures from our trip! I actually didn’t take a ton of pictures this time… shocking, I know. Honestly, we were so busy just having a blast that I would forget to take pictures. 🙂

In the meantime, I hope you enjoy some of the ones I DID take…

Sailing away on Friday afternoon:

In our stateroom…

I did a little comparison picture of Lilly’s first cruise vs. second. So cute!

Playing in the Nemo’s Reef splash pad. She loved it!!

Another 1st vs. 2nd time comparison picture… look at how tiny she was on the left!!!!

Cheese!

This girl could have gone down that water slide ALL DAY LONG.

Princess for a day.

So much ice cream.

After dinner

Pirate show and fireworks on the deck of the ship

A morning dance party (dressed as Doc McStuffins, of course).

Dancing with Goofy!

Heading out to the beach at Castaway Cay… Disney’s private island. It’s beautiful!!

She LOVED being in the water! In fact, she didn’t want to LEAVE the water… at all!

Another comparison pic… March 2014 vs. September 2015. Love it!!

Beach bum!

Wanted to go back in the water… tired of pictures…

Meeting Snow White. Not so sure about her…

Was a little more cool with Rapunzel, but not SUPER cool.

Definitely not sure about Mickey….

She actually LOVED Donald Duck. He was totally her favorite.

Meeting Pirate Minnie… dressed like a pirate.

Just a little snippet of our time on the Disney Dream! It went by WAY too fast and I already can’t wait till we get to go back on another Disney cruise… they’re a BLAST!!!! If you’ve been considering going on one… DO IT. Worth it!!

What about you? Have you been on a Disney cruise before? What about cruises in general? Love them or hate them?
