Travel with the Whitakers

When ou r family cruises one of our favorite things to do is eat! Disney Cruise Line certainly does not disappoint in the culinary department, on any part of their ship. Our favorite place to eat breakfast while cruising is at the buffet. Cabanas, the buffet on the Magic, is located on deck 9 all the way at the back of the ship. There are two sides to the buffet, each with its own entrance. There are times that only one side will be open. Pick a side, they both serve the same thing. The artwork on the walls just after you enter and before you reach the buffet features characters and the fish tank from Finding Nemo! There is both indoor and outdoor seating – we prefer to sit outside so that we can look off the back of the ship. You can also take your plate back to your stateroom if you wish, we did this one morning when Christian wanted to sleep in. The Food Since our cruise was so short, only three nights, we only got to experience Cabanas for breakfast and th

It has been a long time since we last posted, we’re really sorry! School, work, half marathon training and a two year old have kept us busy. There’s no excuse, we know, but we finally have post for you again! Last time we posted we talked about the amazing Cars Land and Disney California Adventure Park at the Disneyland Resort. Today we’re back to Disney Cruise Line and more about our time aboard the Disney Magic because we have another cruise coming up in just over a month! And there will be so much to share from that sailing as well since it will be on the newly refurbished Disney Wonder! Since our first cruise was in Alaska there was a Frozen Deck Party and a Frozen themed meal. On our Bahamas Cruise there was Pirate Night. Pirate Night is part of most sailing in the Bahamas and Caribbean. Pirate Night on our cruise took place on the day that we were in Nassau, fitting, right? On our next cruise it will be on the day that we are at Castaway Cay. We returned to our s

Hi everyone, if you're reading this and thinking that we already did this, you're right. We went back to try to fix something and noticed that a few other posts were not the way that we wanted them to be. We attempted to fix them, but for some reason the fix wouldn't hold, so we're re-posting. So, here are our Disney World Tips:   Transportation If you have an early breakfast reservation, whether at a different resort than your own or at one of the Parks, check with your concierge the night before to see what time the “breakfast” bus arrives at your resort. (Around 6:20 from the All-Star resorts.) Be sure to arrive at least 15 minutes before this time—the bus may be early.  Utilize all forms of transportation that are available. (Buses/Boat/Monorail.) Buses, boats, and monorails all give different and exciting perspectives to travel throughout the WDW Resort. Sometimes boats are much faster for getting to resorts on the water.  There are walkways betw
