Description
Welcome aboard the brand NEW Disney Destiny 🛳✨
In this vlog, we’re invited on the very first media sailing of Disney’s newest cruise ship as a family of four… and I’m doing it while healing from some pretty intense anxiety around cruises and open water.
We started in Fort Lauderdale, spent a night in a hotel with two kids (hotel bathroom crib hack included 😂) and then finally got to see the Disney Destiny for the first time. From the kids’ clubs, spa time, Rainforest Room, Broadway-worthy shows (Hercules & Frozen!), to a beach day at Castaway Cay, I’m sharing the magical parts and the honest mental health side — the nerves, intrusive thoughts, and how I used mindset tools to actually enjoy this trip.
If you’ve ever wanted to try a cruise but felt too scared, I hope this video makes you feel less alone and shows what’s possible when you gently push past fear. 💛
