Disney Christmas Cruise

Emily and I went on the Disney Cruise again this year. This time we did the 4 day cruise to Nassau. It was absolutely wonderful. Disney does such a great job. We watched some good movies, made a gingerbread house, swam, watched a hypnotist, ate wonderful meals and even went to a towel folding seminar. It was bunches of fun. We went to Paradise Island to Atlantis. Several famous people have homes on that island. It was quite a site - very lavish and lots to do. Great aquariums and sea life. Beautiful art work. The beach was nice. It was a very fun trip. I left my cell phone in the seat back pocket of the plane on the way to Florida. That was a bummer. I really like my cell phone. Anyway, I survived and hopefully Southwest will find it. We have a ton of pictures but here are a few.
Here is Emily posing in front of a real live gingerbread house.

This is the beginnings of making our own gingerbread house. We did this last year also. Tons of fun to do it together.

When we got to Disney's Castaway Cay Island we went bike riding and played on the beach.

You can see Atlantis in the background. We are on a ferry going across. A local guy that 'works for tips' gave us a great history of the area on the way over.

As you can see, Emily loves Pikachu. She got a big stuffed one for Christmas.


Sitting on Santa's lap. A 10 year old girl sitting at our dinner table tried to convince Emily there was no Santa. Emily asked her if she got presents at Christmas and the girl said no and that she celebrated Hanuka and didn't believe in Santa. Emily told her "See, Santa doesn't give presents to those who do not believe in him. I get presents from him". Anyway, I thought it entertaining.

This time we got a 2 room cabin with a porthole - well worth the upgrade. Here you can see Emily's orcas napping as we pull into the port at Nassau.

We stayed in a great hotel before we left the port. Emily enjoyed the pool.
