The Autistic World of Disney

While sailing on our eighth cruise on the Disney Fantasy, this past August 2013, I had the opportunity to join my friend and her daughter at the Royal Court Royal Tea in the grand dining room of the Royal Court restaurant. A lovely and quaint table setting in a restaurant elegantly themed to represent castles and princesses awaited us in the center of the dining room.

Upon entry, the child's name was formally announced followed by a greet and picture moment with Lady Chamomile.

Each child received a deluxe, quilted autograph book and pen, a musical jewellery box containing a charm necklace and charm bracelet, a large prince...

Disney Cruise Line will not leave anything out of your vacation. You'll never miss out on the magic and pixie dusting when sailing on the Disney Fantasy because your little girl can be transformed into a princess at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique and your little boy can become a pirate at The Pirate's League, for which I will outline in the latter half of this post. In fact, everyone can become a pirate over at The Pirate's League.

The flowers, oh those flowers, the floral aromas, the lushness, the gentle, balmy breezes continuing all day long in beautiful Honolulu was just the beginning of my walk in complete paradise. I never in my wildest dreams imagined what awaited me as I stepped off the airplane into the mostly open air Honolulu airport on a beautiful late afternoon.  The open air walkways at Honolulu International Airport.

When it comes to entertainment, Disney Cruise Line does it best. People think taking a Disney cruise is just for kids. I disagree. A lot of focus and planning has gone into entertaining children of all ages. It's all about discovering your inner youth and holding on to it. Family activites are plentiful on all four ships, leaving plenty of time for everyone to go off and have experiences and relaxation and loads of fun on their own. We can't crowd each other, after all. Deck Parties: From the moment you board the ship the festivities begin and a deck party awaits you. It's called, the Sail Away Celebration and you'll find it on the pool deck. Be prepared to dance and cheer as you meet many Disney Characters and Crew.

All the sit down restaurants are specially themed, have fu...
