Disney Does Alaska

Doesn't that sound like the title of a seedy movie?

Not long ago we scored a $95 cruise for 2 to Alaska on Disney Cruise Line (balcony room, etc). We've been on this ship before & know that it's not all Mickey-in-your-face like it tends to be at the theme parks. It will be interesting to see what the Disneyifyed version of Alaska is.

Here's the itinerary:

Here's info. about the ship (Disney Wonder):

Yes, it will be fun. Yes, we want to push "the button" (see 2nd video if this doesn't make sense). Yes, we think we're already on cute overload...

Would You Like Ice With That?

It's been so cold in Tallinn, Estonia that sheets of ice have formed on the Baltic Sea close to the shore (actually, the ice goes on for as far as we can see). This is the first time we've really noticed this since our arrival. Wow!!
