Yes, major kudos to them! Not only did they organize it, but they made those awesome rubber bracelets and provided prizes. That's why we always recommend joining the Facebook groups for each cruise - you never know what fun things other cruisers might be planning!
Just found your channel and loving the videos! Watching for when we go to Alaska this year! Love the commitment to “catch you on the flippity flip!” Hilarious! 😂
Thank you so much for the kind comment! 😄 We hope you have a wonderful time on your cruise! That portion of the video could have been much much longer, but thank goodness for editing hahah 😂 Cody was committed though!
Can’t wait to see the rest of this series! You both have such great energy. I hope to run into you on a ship one day! And as a RunDisney Runner, I had to pause the video and I KNEW I recognized that jacket! Thank you for all of your hard work! The running events world is no JOKE and there are some LONG and EARLY hours! You ROCK!
Thank you so much!! It looks like you cruise out of San Diego occasionally so hopefully we'll be on the same one at some point 😊 And yes, Cody used to volunteer for runDisney back in the day when he worked for Disney! While he isn't with the company anymore, we're both still excited that the races are coming back 🥳
We wish! We were on the lookout for them, but didn't see any from the ship. That said, we had a pretty interesting experience in Juneau that you'll see in a couple videos 👀
You’re both wearing snow hats throughout the vlog. Besides the after dark freezing walk on deck 10 was it cold on the ship? I saw the shorts so I think not but just checking.
During the day, the hats were mostly to get us in the Alaska spirit since it was surprisingly warm! Later on in the days/evenings, though, there were definitely some moments where it was quite cold and windy.
Didn’t you hear me screaming go into the shops while they are empty? A Disney Alaska cruise would be fun…our favorite cruise so far has been our Holland America land and sea Alaska cruise. We saw so much wildlife . HAL has a naturalist onboard that helps spot whales and other wildlife 👍🏼
Ahaha we did not! But we were worried we'd miss out on the merch so brave the crowds we did! Did they have the naturalist on the cruise the whole time? Disney had a naturalist on board too, which was awesome, but only on Day 3 when we went into Tracy Arm. 😊
During these Alaska vlogs, we mostly used our GoPro Hero 7 and the Sony ZV-1. In our opinion, the Sony ZV-1 is great for vlogging because it's very much a point and shoot camera that looked great (in our opinion) without having to fiddle with a bunch of settings. We're not tech people by ANY means, so we greatly appreciated that aspect of it!
The time of year that Disney goes on Alaska cruises isn't typically known to be northern lights season, but we've heard of some people being able to see them during solar flare ups or late in the season in Sept! We never saw any indication that they'll wake you up if there happen to be northern lights, but we think that's definitely something they should implement!
Love the videos.
Thank you so much! 😊
Whoever organised that scavenger hunt is amazing!!! What a great idea!!!

looks like a cake with a anniverary cake with a candle for the 25th anniversary.
You're right! Can't believe it took us so long to see it 🫣

Beautiful views! Thanks so much!
Thank you so much! Day 2 and Day 3 definitely had the most gorgeous views we've ever seen!
Looking forward to the next video. Thanks
I am absolutely loving you channel.
Thank you so much!! Can't tell you how much we appreciate the kind words 🥰
I 31:36 think the towel animal is a birthday cake 😊
With the help of some friends, we eventually figured it out on Day 3 (and then promptly forgot that we did until editing this next video 🤣)
What month did you go to Alaska? My family is also going to Alaska on a Disney cruise this August, and I'm so excited.
I'd love to know this as well! We are planning an August cruise too!
This cruise was in May 2023 😊 we hope you have an amazing time in August!
We hope you have an amazing time in August, Paula! We went on the first cruise of the season in May 2023 😊
I am also going on a Disney Alaska cruise in August! 😊
Such beautiful views! Bucket list cruise for sure. ❤
💯! It was so great that we're thinking of adding it back onto our bucket list 😂
Yes thank you
I’m sooo ready for the next vlog!!! Lol
It should be up in just a few short hours! 😊
Love,love,love! We are off on the Fantasy this Saturday!
Ahhh how exciting, we hope you have an AMAZING time! 🥰
I thought the towel “animal” looked like a tissue dispenser. 🤣
That's a good guess! Definitely reminds us of a Clorox container 😂

@@WendandWander Fingers crossed! Do you have any San Diego sailings booked before next May?
Not yet, but we're really hoping to do one before the SD hiatus begins!
I want to do a scavenger hunt! Oh, and right now, I am wearing the same shirt as Zach!
It was such a fun activity! We haven't ever seen one put on by Disney on the cruises, but at least the FB groups can make them happen!
It’s a cup/cake with a candle for the 25th anniversary!!
So ashamed we didn't think of that 🫣
@@WendandWander LOL
You’ve convinced to take an Alaska cruise!
You won't regret it, it was the most amazing vacation we've done so far!
Did you make a video about what you gave for fish extenders?
Oooh we haven't yet, but that would be a great one to make at some point!
when you were so close to land, did you see any bears fishing on the coast line?
We wish! We were on the lookout for them, but didn't see any from the ship. That said, we had a pretty interesting experience in Juneau that you'll see in a couple videos 👀
We know how you feel about trivia, we missed Disney Parks trivia by 1 question on our last cruise. 😢
It's so heartbreaking! But then we just use it as an excuse to play more trivia 😁

Surely the towel sculpture was a cake for your first anniversary, no?
We may have been thinking of the phrase towel *animal* a little too literally 😅
What vlogging camera do you use? Or would you suggest

Disney Wonder Sail in Australia in 2023
Inaugural cruise out of Sydney is in 22 days! I'm very excited 😂
It’s tea candle
Wait wait wait! Will they wake you up if the northern lights happen???? Can u see the northern lights on this cruise?!?!?!
