Trip Report Dreaming My Way Back to Disney. A First Ever Solo Trip

I’ve been back for over a month now and am finally getting around to writing about one of my best ever Disney trips. I spent 2 nights at All Star Movies, the first time staying here.

This was my first time back at Disney World since January 2020 when I did this:

But, I’m getting ahead of myself because the main part of the trip was…

A transatlantic cruise on the Disney Dream.

This has been a cruise I’ve wanted to take ever since my first cruise 11 years ago, so I was very excited to finally be able to do it.

So the plans were:

October 20th to November 2nd: 13 night Westbound Transatlantic cruise from Southampton to Fort Lauderdale with stops at Vigo (Spain), Lisbon (Portugal), Ponta Delgada (Azores) and Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point.

November 2nd: Brightline train from Fort Lauderdale to Orlando

November 2nd to November 4th: All Star Movies resort only stay with lots of good food, resort hopping and fireworks

And I did all of this completely solo, which as a mum of four was not something I’d had the opportunity to do before.

Monday 21st October: A Very Rough First Day at Sea (cont)

Before dinner I spent some time overlooking the atrium. I don’t tend to do character meet and greets any more, I spent a lot of time doing them when my girls were little, but I do like to watch the character interactions with little ones. It brings back lots of happy memories.

I got to see Belle meeting Belle, it was so cute. And I loved that the character attendant for Belle was one of the theatre performers, he played Beast in the summer and Gaston on this cruise.

Dinner tonight was in Enchanted Garden and was the standard menu there. I had my usual: lobster ravioli (forgot photo), scallops and lemon raspberry mousse bombe. All were delicious

I was feeling so much better by this point that I managed a glass of wine as well

Surprisingly after sleeping half of the day, I was tired again after dinner so headed back to the room.
