Mmm…ever since they announced the Disney Cruise Line many years ago, I was very excited about it. I'm a huge fan of Disney in general and the Disney Parks/Experience in particular. I have always loved Disneyland since I went as a kid and have had tons of fun taking my own kids a couple of times now. I've been to Disney World a couple of times and absolutely love the immensity and immersive nature of that experience and I hope to take my kids out to Florida before too long.

In addition to my love of Disney, I absolutely love the beach…especially a nice warm sandy beach like those in the Caribbean. Lynette and I went to the Bahamas on our honeymoon and it was fabulous. In various trips to east and west coast and even mountain lakes like Tahoe, I just love relaxing on the warm sand and listening to the water lap on the shore…or paddling around in the surf as it breaks against the sand. It's just awesome.

So, the Disney Cruise Line experience is something I really want to try out. A couple of days in WDW, some time at sea and then some time on a "private" Disney island, Castaway Cay in the Bahamas. Sounds wonderful.

Just the other day Lynette suggested we create a "Disney Cruise" account where we'll just keep socking money and whenever we have enough for the trip, that's when we take it. Sounds like a good plan to me.

To help make the fun more enticing, Disney just put out this video showing some additions they're making to add water park style fun to the warm waters on their private island. Just another part of the experience. Good times. :)

Has anybody been on a Disney Cruise?  What did you think?  Did you take kids?  What did they think?
