    All Aboard the Disney DESTINY!

    I went on Disney Cruise Line's NEWEST cruise ship and have SO much to tell you about it!!!! The Heroes & Villains theme sets this ship apart from the others...and what I have to say about it is not at all what I expected I would!!!!! (The main thing I'm raving about....oh my gosh?!?!! It's got a Hercules stage show, a Lion King restaurant, character meets up the wazoo, an adults-only Marvel show, a Cruella De Vil-themed bar and so, so much more! Hear my entire review of what makes this new Disney cruise ship different, if Disney's seventh (!) ship is a good fit for your future vacations, and oodles more stories from my time on board!!!!

  7. A Silly Little GAB SESH!!

    NOV 5

    A Silly Little GAB SESH!!

    Did I have too much caffeine before recording this one? Was that breakfast Butterfinger a bad idea? Is it possible I mistakenly took a double-dose of my medication so I was a little more scatterbrained than usual? ALL OF THE ABOVE may be true, but you're in for a super chaotic, somewhat unexpectedly long-winded gab sesh episode today! We're catching up on Halloween happenings, closet conundrums (wearing my $0 shorts as we speak, they're actually great), Buffy b-obsessions, calendar conquests, and so much more!!!! If it's a little out there (and if I said anything dumb or long winded I apologizeeEEE) but that's the magic of the gab sesh!!!
