Spring Break 2026: Disney Cruise & Disney World with Grammy & Grampy

For Spring Break this year, we went on a Disney Cruise & then did a couple days at Disney World before heading back home. It was so, so fun!

{all smiles headed to the airport!}

{we left on a Thursday right after school & spent the night in Cape Canaveral before boarding the ship the next morning}




Cruising means lots of desserts! 








{Disney's Lookout Cay}

{celebrating Hadley's birthday a few days early on the cruise!}

{a rainstorm blew through Castaway Cay towards the end of our afternoon there, so we spent a couple hours in their covered outdoor area playing games!}


{pirate night capped off with fireworks from the ship!}


{Hadley & Brady learned how to play shuffleboard on this cruise & spent a lot of time here playing!}



{Shelby & I spent a glorious afternoon reading on the balcony together}


{Hadley brought a pair of jewelry pliers in her carry-on bag on the ship, which got confiscated....apparently they're worried about people trying to disassemble the boat?! She was very happy to be reunited them when we disembarked!}

After we got off the boat, we headed straight to the parks! Even though we have been to Disney World & Disneyland lots of times with the kids, we realized this was our first time staying on property at Disney World/going to multiple parks {we've done lots of quick day trips to Magic Kingdom in recent years} since the girls were 5 and 3...and Brady had never been to any of the Disney World parks other than Magic Kingdom. So lots of fun was had!!!













{Waiting in a long line, so Hadley unlaced her shoes and fingerknitted with the laces}



We loved Toy Story Land in Hollywood Studios...this was our first time experiencing it & we loved it so, so much! The Slinky coaster was a big hit for all of us!






After a morning at Hollywood Studios, we headed over to Disney Springs to meet up with a friend of Shelby's from Alaska who was also visiting Disney World! We rode the Disney Skyliner for the first time ever to get there & thought that was so fun!


{this sign was posted at the base of the Skyliner, which we were so tickled by since we just got off our cruise!}



{playing games while we waited in line..these kids are the best!}




{flash back to our first photo op with the Mickey statue in the Shades of Green hotel}

And just like that, it was time to head back to San Antonio! This trip made us all the more excited for this summer when we'll get to head back to Disney World for a few days with Grammy & Grampy again...and also with the Gardners, too!

So hard to believe we only have three more Spring Breaks left with Shelby before she graduates...time is flying!
