Alaska – Aug 2023

For as long as I can remember, my wife and I have always talked about wanting to take a cruise up through Alaska. Well, at the beginning of this month we finally did it! We took the whole family on a 7 day Disney Cruise Starting in Vancouver, with ports in Skagway, Juneau, Ketchikan, and the Stikine icecap. We had a blast! Here are a few memorable moments from he trip:

Launch party

Kids clubs

Food

Nature

The Art

Character Interactions

Towel Creatures

Every night they’d leave a different towel creature in each of our state rooms:

Activities

Family time 🤗

Most of all it was just great to spend some quality family time together.

Bonus: Whales!

That’s all! 👋

Until next time…

    Very cool!

    We’ve literally just been discussing whether to do a Disney Cruise or not. Our kids are younger though (1.5 and 3.5) would be 2 and 4 by the time we went.

    Would you recommend it for that age still? Or wait a few years?

      I think 2 & 4 could definitely work. They have kids clubs for kids of all ages. You might consider doing one now and then one like 5-8 years from now. I suspect we’ll likely do another one in a couple of years.
