We are back!!

What can I say!!  Our Disney Cruise was unbelievable!... We were gone from April 24th thru May 2nd.. the best days of our lives. We left to Denver on April 24th and of course Melanie got sick, she spent the night with 102-103 fever and we were worried sick. We were able to get the fever down and we made it to Florida the next day. We got to Orlando around 4 pm and checked in in our hotel. The hotel was actually in the airport!  yes... inside the airport. You could see security checkpoint from our room LOL.. it was pretty cool. We had to take Melanie to an urgent care clinic at the Airport and she had a major ear infection but after a shot of antibiotics and a dose of more antibiotics she was much better. We spent the night there and the next day bright and early off we went to Port Canaveral!!  Our Disney Cruise bus took us there and it was so much fun. Madison was beyond excited. She finally got to see the Disney Magic ship and what a sight!  She couldnt stop screaming. From the moment we got there all the characters started to show up while we waited at the terminal to board. She got to see Mickey and Goofy!  We got pictures taken right when we went in the ship and the coolest part was that there was a crew at the entrance of the ship.. they asked each family for their name and as soon as you walked in the ship they said over the mic.. Welcome the Larson Family and everybody would clap hahaha  Maddy thought it was the coolest thing. There were so many amazing things in the ship, the food, the horn.. hahaha yes.. that was my favorite part. The horn of the ship played  When you Wish Upon a Star!! I thought it was the coolest thing ever. We spent the whole week together, swimming, eating, having fun and not worried about anything but our vacation. The girls got over 30 autographs with the characters, Maddy got to be in stage with Mickey Mouse, we met Captain Jack Sparrow (mommy's favorite haha), we went to beautiful islands, we met wonderful people and we decided since we are now part of the Castaway Club which is a club only for people that have taken Disney Cruises before.. that we will be booking another one in  a couple of years or so. Matt loved it so much that he wants to go back. The girls cannot keep talking about it and actually we were all teary when we had to leave!  What an experience. The shows, the food, the crew, the people we met, it was amazing. Castaway Cay Disney's private island is beyond what we expected. The sand was like baby powder and the water was so clear that Maddy and I spent most of the time looking at starfish and fish under water swimming by our feet. We saw the Flying Dutchman!!  the real ship.. and we got to see Jack Sparrow and take pics with him by the ship. I cannot wait to go back.. and so is Matt. He loved it so much that I cannot even explain how happy and relaxed he was while we were there. He actually loved seeing Mickey Mouse over and over and over again. I made a slideshow with the pictures of our trip. There is so much to tell that I wont even get close to finishing our story in this post. I will update our Disney Cruise blog by day so I can tell you all about it. Definitely this was the most amazing vacation of our lives and we are so blessed to be able to do it... we will definitely be back.. I have the feeling that Disney Cruises as well as Disneyland are going to become part of the Larson's lifestyle haha we wish we could do it every year haha but yeah.. they are not cheap.. so we are off to save up to do it again in a very near future. And of course.. as Mickey Mouse says... Till we meet again!  See ya real soon Mickey!!
