What is the 1 thing you would do on a Disney Cruise this minute?

[sullivan.kscott]

We don't have any non country dance bars where I live, so I'd take a night at Underground after a Knob Creek at O'Gill's! No complaints from the kids, either. They're longing for their first Edge/Vibe experience (1 each).

I want to see the look on my youngest DS’s face that he had while wearing a princess Anna dress and tiara and doing a twirl with Belle, or sipping tea “apple juice” with his pinky stuck out at the “princess tea party”. He is autistic and at the time he was 4 year old and largely nonverbal, so sometimes it is hard to know what he is thinking or feeling, but that day look on his face was pure joy. We have had a year from hell so I’d give anything to see him that happy again. Dang, now I’m crying while typing this.

Reading this thread really made me smile. It seems like it it was so long ago that we were on our last disney cruise and yet it seems like no time at all when I think about the sound of the ocean at night from the empty deck at Meridian, watching dolphins jump along the ship as we left PC, the taste of a Conch Cooler while my kids bury my feet in warm sand, or the first sight of CC approaching from my verandah. Hah, I cheated and said a bunch of things, but my one thing is definitely that ridiculously expensive princess tea with my DS!

I’m going to imagine today is the start of our cruise. I would be sitting right here getting ready for a concierge lunch with my extended family.

Lay on a deck chair!

Have a favorite spot? I generally pick anywhere with food nearby!

Palo brunch please! Followed by a nice sit down on a lounger on deck 4

Mmmmm sounds good.

Surprised no one has said taking naps.
Naps are one of my favorite things to do on the cruise...on sea days I normally nap around 1-3 pm, before dinner.
With the verandah door half open, right after a hearty lunch at cabanas, the gentle breeze caressing your feet while falling asleep watching Ratatouille...it's glorious, few things compare to it. I highly recommend.

I always feel bad if I leave the door open. That sign saying not to does it for me! But yes the sound and smells are the best. I was surprised how much I didn't regret the days I ended up laying in bed doing nothing due to sea sickness. I may have to work in more lodging time next cruise!

Agreed but door closed, blanket wrapping me into a cocoon. I will never understand those of you who like to sleep with your feet exposed/cold. I respect you... but I do not understand you.

Right now my allergies are bothering me, so sitting on the veranda or walking around Deck 4, letting the salt air clear my sinuses, sounds like heaven.

No pollen at sea!!!

Right now, I think I would take sitting on Castaway Cay, enjoying the sun, just about ready to go to a nice b-q lunch. It's a hard call between that, or sitting around chatting on deck late in the evening after a fun day - warm breeze, quiet buzz in the air, not a worry in the world.

"not a worry in the world" I think that part sounds the best!!!

It's almost noon and I have decided it's a sea day, so we are off to brunch at Palo.

Count me in. Or just bring me back a wheel of that smokey creamy cheese. Ok maybe ALL the cheese wheels......

Walking the deck and seeing the staff cleaning up the roped off kid's pool area in their hazmat suits.

I was totally with you as I read up until the kids pool!! I really do appreciate and love seeing the staff cleaning every nook and cranny. How many times I've seen someone on the stairs cleaning ever crevice of the hand rail as I was by. I know it's a crew members job, but the -at least it appears this way- pride they take in keeping the ships clean always impresses me.

We don't have any non country dance bars where I live, so I'd take a night at Underground after a Knob Creek at O'Gill's! No complaints from the kids, either. They're longing for their first Edge/Vibe experience (1 each).

That sounds like a solid plan. Stay up and dance the night away.

This was so special to read. Thank you for sharing that. I am so happy your son had such a great experience that you got to share with him. Disney really can bring out the best special moments!

That sounds great. Whats on that menu?

 

[cmph]

Right now, it's between dinner and the evening show, so I've decided to have a drink - Moet Ice, please and thank you.

oh yes! After a wonderful day at sea or having fun. Settled with the family into a cozy nook~ a glass of Moet Ice... ❤

 

[Pooh2]

Sit on the veranda with a Mickey bar, listening to the water hit the ship!

Looks delicious! It seems similar to the regular sit down embarkation lunch, at least I recognize that yummy carrot cake!!

You picked one of my favorite "vacation only time" hours of the day for your choice! I always think it's funny how "vacation" time works different than "real" time. If you asked me to hang out after dinner for a drink and then go to a show, and then maybe a late night activity (I'm thinking of you Match Your Mate!) I'd completely decline. It's a weeknight!!! But on vacation? A 9:00pm ice cream run doesn't even seem like it's that late at night, or weird. At that hour between dinner and the show is the time to be out and about! So much going on.

I miss that sound! I may sometimes turn on a video of just that.... just cause I miss it....

That's my "sail away" drink. Perfect when standing on the hot deck while the kiddos watch mickey and crew.

 

[sabrecmc]

I love sitting out on the loungers or the balcony if we have one and watching the sea go by with a glass of wine in my hand. There is little better! But, since it is before lunch right now, I'd probably be at some kind of name that tune or character drawing event with my daughter! Either way, it's a good time.

 

[Macprincess]

It's a few minutes after 5pm. Great time to hit the aqua duck as so many families have left the pool deck for early dinner. I would probably enjoy a couple of slides. Then pop back to the cabin for a quick shower and to dress for dinner. Hubs and I would then head off to Meridien for sunset & drinks followed by Palo for dinner.

Oh how I miss DCL!

 

[bobbiwoz]

I would have popcorn and watch Tangled!

 

[squirk]

Make myself a root beer float using the drink station and Eye Scream, and watch my youngest ride the Mickey slide over and over for an hour.

 

[Calantha]

That sounds great. Whats on that menu?

I need lobster - so much lobster...except the bisque...don't get the bisque... and a sail-away drink...at least 2.

 

[yesmylove]

Sit out on the deck with a Mickey bar and watch the scenery go by on my way to Alaska, with a blanket.

 

[auntlynne]

Without reading other posts to be influenced, I’m going with

Eat Muesli at Cabanas, followed by link sausage, corned beef hash and grilled tomatoes. (I’m a bit hungry right now).

 

[auntlynne]

Boy, I didn’t even try to link it to the current time of day. I wrote that at 2:40 am. I’ve been thinking of that Muesli lately.

 

[nancipants]

My son just finished breakfast, so we'd be back in the room for Mommy and Daddy to eat while he plays. If grandma and grandpa are on the cruise with us, he'll be in their room.
