My 5 Disney Senses

When you retell the experiences on a Disney vacation to someone you know, it’s full of words like “I saw”, “I ate”, “I heard”.....which got me to thinking about how Disney is really experienced with all 5 senses.  So I thought I would put together a little list of some of my most memorable “5 Disney Senses”.  Close your eyes (after you are done reading, of course), and imagine along!


Touch
Mickey’s glove in my own hand
The lazy river at Typhoon Lagoon
The blast of “champagne popping” in Mickey’s Philharmagic
The heat from the Inferno during Illuminations
The bed in my resort room after the end of a long day!



Smell
The Polynesian lobby 
The cookies from the Main Street bakery
The water in Pirates of the Caribbean
The skunk in Imagination (I might not love it, but you can’t deny that it’s memorable!)
The orange grove in Soarin’


Sight
A Mickey balloon
Cinderella Castle at the end of Main Street
Tinker Bell’s nighttime flight during Wishes
Hidden Mickeys
Twinkling trees







Sound
The Magic Kingdom train whistle
Screams coming down Splash Mountain and Tower of Terror
“Have a Magical Day!”
The Harambe radio station on the jeep during Kilimanjaro Safari
“Please stand clear of the doors.  Por favor, mantenganse alejado de las puertas.”

A freshly baked Mickey waffle at Chef Mickey’s
Tonga Toast at Kona Cafe
A cucumber margarita at La Cava del Tequila

One of the biggest challenges of traveling with a baby is planning what you need to bring. I wanted to share what worked for us, and hopefully help others who are planning their cruise! Remember, babies can only cruise after their 6-month birthday on sailings from the U.S. If you are going transatlantic, or have more than three days out at sea, they must be 12 months old by the first day of your cruise. Pre-Cruise   We flew to the cruise port, and I couldn’t bring all the food and snacks I needed, so I placed an Instacart order for pick up near the port. I chose Publix in Cocoa Beach which is a few miles from Port Canaveral. I placed the order a few days before we left home, and set the pickup time to 11:00 a.m. I ordered formula, a box of diapers, swim diapers, bottle brush, dish soap, baby food, and baby snacks. I also broug...
