Glacier Day ❄️ It’s impossible to choose photos Glacier Day ❄️ 

It’s impossible to choose photos that capture Glacier Day on our Disney cruise. It was such an amazing day and we have sooo many photos and videos, that narrowing it down to 20 just can’t capture it!

Day 3 on the Disney Wonder had us sailing up the Endicott Arm to Dawe’s Glacier. Although this is not a port day (the ship doesn’t dock), it’s definitely a highlight of a cruise to Alaska. 🏔️ 

The views became more beautiful throughout the morning as we sailed closer to the glacier. The characters were outside for photos in their special Alaska outfits, there was a Frozen deck party and other themed activities taking place throughout the day, and there were crew members handing out hot chocolate and cookies as everyone spent most of the day outside, soaking in the views and looking for wildlife.

Our family cozied up with blankets and spent hours outside on deck 4. The mountain views were spectacular, and we spotted whales, orcas, dolphins and eagles! We also went to meet a few of the characters, saw the Frozen deck party (our toddler loved it!) and even got to hold a piece of glacier ice 🧊

Is the White Pass Railway in Alaska worth it with Is the White Pass Railway in Alaska worth it with a toddler? 🚂 For our family, absolutely!

Before booking, we weren’t sure if our 3-year-old would enjoy sitting on a train for 3 hours… but it ended up being one of our favorite excursions from our Alaska cruise.

The large windows kept the scenery front and center, the train was comfortable, there were bathrooms onboard and it was easy to take turns stepping outside for photos while our daughter waited inside. We packed a few books to help keep her entertained and that was all she needed between taking in the incredible views.

Every child is different, but if your little one is happy riding in the car, looking out the window and having some quiet activities, this could be a great family-friendly option. We loved that it was something Josh and I genuinely wanted to do while still being enjoyable for her too! 🏔️

“She won’t remember it.” Maybe not 🤔 But we’ll r “She won’t remember it.”

Maybe not 🤔

But we’ll remember it. The time we saw two bears in Juneau, the cozy contact nap outside on glacier day, the magical character moments, and every moment of wonder on her face.

And even if she doesn’t remember this Alaska cruise years from now, that doesn’t mean it isn’t meaningful. She’s experiencing it right now… She’s learning, exploring, laughing and making memories with the people who love her most.

Besides, judging by the smile on her face, she had a pretty incredible time! ❤️

After 30+ cruises (14 with our toddler), this may After 30+ cruises (14 with our toddler), this may be Disney Cruise Line’s best itinerary 🤫

We’ve sailed to some incredible places over the years, but Alaska always completely exceeds our expectations.

From spotting whales right from the ship to exploring charming port towns surrounded by snow-capped mountains, every day felt like something out of a movie. The scenery is breathtaking, the wildlife is spectacular and the port adventures are so uniquely Alaskan and unlike anything you’ll experienced on any other cruise itinerary.

Seeing it all through our toddler’s eyes made it even more special to be back in one of our favorite places in the world. This trip gave us memories we’ll treasure forever. 

Out of all the vacations we’ve taken as a family, this has easily been one of our favorite trips with our daughter yet! ❤️

The pure excitement when she spotted those Minnie The pure excitement when she spotted those Minnie Mouse bedsheets 🥹❤️

It’s the little things that make a Disney Cruise feel so magical, and seeing her face light up when she walked into the room made bedtime feel even more special on this cruise.

You never know which moments your kids will remember most… sometimes it’s not the big experiences, it’s something as simple as a towel animal waiting each night or eating room service in bed. For her this time, these special sheets were one of those magical moments! 

This is her 14th cruise and the first time she’s ever gotten this. It was a special little surprise from our stateroom host, and not something we asked for ❤️And now of course she wants to get Minnie sheets for home too!

What’s the most unexpected thing your kids have loved on vacation?
