Disney Cruise Castaway Cay 5K

Friday, December 7, 2012 PixieLesley 2 Comments

If you are going on a Disney Cruise in the future and have a runner in your family or have always wanted to run a fun Disney 5k as a personal goal then the Castaway 5k is a PERFECT option for you.

My husband Tim is not a big runner but wanted to run the Castaway 5k as a personal goal of his so we started looking into it. The 5k is completely FREE and you do not have to register ahead of time.

All you need to do is pack your running shoes and keep an eye on your navigator that they place in your stateroom nightly. The night before we saw the instructions for the 5k and all he had to do was meet up in the D lounge onboard around 8:30-9:00 am and they registered him for the event and gave him his number. They all walked to the starting line together and the race started around 10 am.

The kids and I were able to meet him at the finish line and watch him get his Mickey medal. They had water for the runners at the end and there were a few cast members there clapping as they handed out the medal.

Disney Cruise Line just announced KIDS SAIL FREE out of Miami. This applies to sailings January 14-February 25th 2013 out of Miami on 4 night Bahamian cruises or 5 night Western Caribbean cruises. Most of these itineraries include a stop at Disney’s private island, Castaway Cay.

Kids 17 and under sail FREE when traveling with 2 full fare guests in the same stateroom, this EVEN applies to families of 5, so BIG savings for you : )

If these are booked before December 16th you only have to put 10% down and you get an additional 25 Disney on board credit on top of the other Disney gift card incentives I already offer. Just in time to surprise your family for the holidays and they won’t have to wait long for the cruise since you will sail out in January or February!

Don’t forget to use your Disney Visa Rewards Card when booking!

The Disney Wonder Prepares to Sail Out of Miami

Sunday, December 2, 2012 PixieLesley 2 Comments

Disney Cruise Line is on the move again and will start sailing out of Port Miami for the first time EVER in December. The Disney Wonder is re positioning from the West Coast and will no longer offer Mexican Riviera cruises out of Los Angeles. The Wonder will head back to the West Coast for Alaska cruises in the summer of 2013 but during the winter months it will be in South Florida.

The Disney Dream and Fantasy will continue to sail out of Port Canaveral, and the Disney Magic is sailing out of Galveston, Texas to the Caribbean.

The Wonder will arrive in Miami on Sunday, December 23rd and will sail on an Eastern Caribbean itinerary in a 7 night sailing stopping at St. Maarten, St. Thomas, Charlotte Amalie and Disney’s private island in the Bahamas, Castaway Cay.

It will then have a 6 night Western Caribbean trip sailing on December 30th, great way to spend New Years Eve! After that it will switch gears entirely and offer 4 day itineraries with stops in Key West, Nassau and Castaway Cay as well as a 5 day itinerary to the Western Caribbean with stops in Cozumel and the Cayman Islands.

The Wonder will return to Alaska in May and then it will trade places with the Disney Magic in the winter of 2013 with the Magic sailing out of Miami and the Wonder out of Galveston.

Do any of these ships and their itineraries excite you? Do you think Disney will have trouble selling these itineraries?

I am hoping that with so many ships sailing so close together we will start seeing some more discounts!
