Trip Report Finally Back in Our Happy Place. A Three Week Trip With a Cruise Included

We’ve been back for just over a week from what was a wonderful three weeks. There were a few hiccups, but for the most part Disney World was just as we remembered it.

This trip was me and my two youngest daughters, Alice (18) and Lexi (15)

We stayed at Pop Century from July 7th-20th, then sailed on the Disney Magic from July 20th-25th, then French Quarter for the last three nights, July 25th-28th. For the Pop Century part of the trip we had the UK 14 day park tickets which included the waterparks.

The menu is the same as the one on the Dream and Fantasy

Pasta purseittes for all of us

Then tuna for Alice and beef for me. Lexi had pasta (again) which I don’t have a photo of

Desserts

Lemon icebox pie for me and cheesecake for Alice. We’d lost Lexi to the teen club

I enjoyed seeing the sketches on the screens being coloured in

The lighting was changing the colours of the walls

And then the main event, Sorcerer Mickey!

There was a little parade with all the servers

This was our head server, she was lovely

It felt like Mickey was thanking the servers for all their hard work

We loved this version of Animator’s. We’ve seen the Crush version on the other ships quite a few times and it was nice to have something different

On our way out of Animator’s, there’s just so much detail

A post dinner stroll around deck 4

Then some funnelvision with a Baileys

We weren’t very late back to our room, we wanted to be up early to make the most of our Castaway Cay day.

We had remembered to take the do not disturb sign off our door so we had our towel/blanket animal. It became a bit of a running joke with our room host, she would ask us if we’d taken the sign off if she saw us in the hallways

Tuesday 22nd July: Castaway Cay

Our family have always loved spending time on Mickey Island.

Our first visit, back in 2013.

Breakfast view

After breakfast it was still too early to get off the ship so we enjoyed the view from the pool deck

Tuesday 22nd July (cont)

We were some of the first people off the ship. Surprisingly we didn’t have to queue to get off, we always have in the past.

It was overcast but still very warm, we were keeping our fingers crossed that it wouldn’t rain

The characters were just starting to come out to enjoy their island time

We enjoy the walk to the beach rather than getting the tram
