We actually did it!! DC Part 1

A Disney cruise has been on my dream list of "someday" for as long as I can remember. David and I were giddy with anticipation. I was so excited that I kept feeling like something for sure was going to prevent us from actually getting on that ship. So when we finally boarded I thought it was the best day of my life.

Right before this picture was taken Ashton's flip flop broke. In an effort to pack light I only packed one pair of flip flops per kid. The result was Ashton walking around in a pair of David's flip flops for 2 days because they didn't sell any his size on the ship. It was pretty comical but a reminder straight off with a vacation with 6 kids means you're still a parent of 6 kids.

 Here we are touring the kids areas and getting all of the kids wristbands.

The kids area was so cool. Everything we had imagined and more.

 About 3 hours in after a mandatory drill we were waiting in the lobby for our rooms to open up we turned around and found Scotty like this. He was already toasted. Check out Ashton's flip flops in the background too. He handled it like a champ and didn't complain but he was thrilled when David and I bought him a new pair at the port in the Bahamas.

Oh these girls thought they were pretty awesome lounging on the deck. And they were pretty amazing!!

This was dinner on the first night. The kids had mickey ice cream bars for dessert every night and thought they were in Heaven.

We had an assigned time to go meet the princesses so there was no line. While other little girls were running up, hugging and going crazy over the princesses our girls walked up took the mandatory picture and walked away without a word. I'm glad we found out that our kids aren't into meeting characters before we go somewhere like Disneyland and wait an hour in the line. In fact, on our assigned time to meet all the Frozen characters our girls said "naw, that's alright."
