DISNEY CRUISE 2022- A Disney MAGIC Cruise Adventure Vlog; Day 1- Travel and Welcome Aboard

Disney Cruise Line! We're BACK!!! Welcome to our newest adventure vlog aboard the Disney Magic as we sail on a double dip Castaway Cay cruise in the Bahamas- our first Disney cruise since the industry was shut down and reopened. We are SO EXCITED to finally be "back home," and we can't wait to share our adventure with you. *It's also worth noting that this is the FIRST cruise for our newest little adventurer, baby Marshall :)

Day One begins at our embarkation city- this time in beautiful Miami, Florida. We travel to the port, take our pre-cruise tests (which was surprisingly quick and easy), and once we are all marked "clear to board", we check in and head aboard.

As the cast and rew welcome us onto the ship, we all cry joyous tears. Mickey Mouse is there to wave and take pictures; Clara is so excited to see him. We are walked through the new virtual safety drill, find our Disney family, Ashley and Jaymie (who are already on board), and head up to Cabanas for lunch. Dennis is excited to have his unlimited shrimp and crab claws. Lol.


As the staterooms open up, our family heads downstairs. Everyone takes some time to unpack and unwind as Clara and Josh take some time to explore the ship. First stop is the Oceaneer Club, where Clara meets Thor for the first time. They have a long, engaging conversation, and then it's off to visit Cinderella and Rapunzel in the Buena Vista Theater. Clara is so excited that Cinderella and Rapunzel recognized her, since she had grown much over the past few years.

Josh grabs a cup of coffee from Cove Cafe (his favorite spot on the ship), and then we all watch from our verendahs as the ship begins to set sail. We are overjoyed.

This evening's entertainment it a first for us: Disney' Tangled The Musical, presented in the Walt Disney Theatre. What a fun way to start our cruise, with a brand new musical. The cast was supurb, and the show was thouroughly entertaining. According to Clara, it's her new favorite show :)


After the show, we spend some time visiting our favorite disney characters (including Mickey, Minnie, and Mulan). We take some family photos in the atrium, and then it is time for dinner!

Tonight's dinner is at Rapunzel's Royal Table. As we enter, we are greeted by our serving staff: Yoga and Jarung. These two were absolutely incredible servers over the course of the trip, easily tied with Dan and Dani, our other two favorite servers from the Disney Wonder. Dinner is wonderful, the new dining venue is beautiful, and the evening is a blast.

As nighttime arrives, we meet up with a few more Disne characters, and then it is time for bed. Day one has been a success!
