A couple of Disney cruise tips. Make sure to join the FB group for your particular cruise. Search by the date of your cruise. Folks on there will have some helpful tips and tricks. I highly recommend attending the sail away party held on the pool deck right before you get underway. Some folks skip the sail away party, but I think it's a lot of fun. Lots of energy and the excitement builds as you get close to casting off. And when you realize the ship is moving and the ship's horn blasts a Disney tune you'll be so happy. You only get one first Disney cruise and you should take advantage of all the Disney activities. Then as the ship pulls out head over to the railing on the starboard (right) side of the ship. There's a string of restaurants and parks right next to the ship channel and lots of people gather there to wave and cheer as you sail by. It's a lot of fun to wave back and realize your Disney cruise adventure is starting.
I love packing, probably more than I should! My family has teased me for years because I start packing well in advance of any trip. I once started packing 3 months before a vacation! Now I just have my stash of special trip clothes and goodies that I slowly add to over time, so it feels like I’m packing without actually packing. 😂
Blair, I have dealt with chronic pain before (my right hand up to my neck) I am very thankful to be in remission. But the thing that really helped with pain was a thing my hand therapist had me do called a TENS unit. I was able to buy my own offline for like 30$ and used it at home and it helped so much. My sister who suffers from extreme back pain has used it and loves it to use it when she is in a " super spasm" as we call them. Hope this helps.
Sooooooo excited for the upcoming Disney content!!! Your Disney vlogs are what led me to your channel and now you’re my favorite UA-camr! We’ve been trying to decide if a Disney cruise would be right for us, and I think your Disney cruise vlogs will definitely help us decide :)
I have found a TENS unit and heat can help with your neck muscles you can get a small one at Walgreens and I'm sure Amazon has some!! I use it when my shoulders get knots from working and cause neck pain and a heat pack
Sea bands are great! We just finished an eastern Caribbean cruise last month and I wore mine the whole time. Didn’t know if I needed to wear them or not so I just kept them on to make sure. Loved em! Natural ginger Dramamine worked well too!
Awww Blair, I so feel what you are saying about your neck. I have scoliosis as well as fibromyalgia, degenerative disc disease and arthritis in my back and neck. I've found the most relief over the last 2 months from acupuncture. I don't know what or why but I promise it works on muscle pain and spasms! Also, I use a TEMS unit for muscle spasm. Hopefully you'll find more relief soon sweet lady! God bless you!
That call from goofy was so fun! Loving all the Disney travel stuff and those ears are just perfect! I’ve got two weeks off mid June, winter here though but we are flying to to Queensland for a few beach days. It is much needed, I haven’t been on a holiday for three years! Blair that’s no good with your neck! I had my neck massively spasm in December and my neck froze on one side and I couldn’t turn or tilt my head, took 7 weeks to get my full range of motion back and I needed Valium for a few good days and nights. Took a lot of physiotherapist to get my range back, it was such a relief when it went away! Hoping it doesn’t give you more troubles xoxo
Blair! When you mentioned your niece is second from the left at her dance recital, I almost thought it was your daughter Nora! Lamb genes are so strong!😊
I don't have trips planned this summer but I am going to a Britney Spears concert. I am so excited. I have my annual trip to universal and Disney planned for October. Thank you for sharing your week! I'm so sorry that you weren't feeling well. Glad you feel better now.
We are going to Lancaster, PA (Amish Country) in a few weeks just for a few days. It seems lately that all we do is work, so it will be fun to get away. Then, just a few weeks after that, we are going to visit my husband's family. It is a 28 hour car trip that we break up into 2 days. It is always a good trip. Hopefully we can get to at least one amusement park this summer too. Other than that, it will be work & trying to purge clothing we no longer wear & toys my son no longer plays with.
Hi Blair. I too have chronic neck issues with the shoulder cramping, etc. My biggest lifesavers are strtches I learned in physical therapy, ice, and Bio Freeze. When things start acting up I get aggressive with all 3. If that still doesn't help, I will take Flexeril, but it knocks me out, so I try to avoid it. Enjoying your vlogs!
I love to pack! I feel the planning and packing adds extra magic to the trip. I love the idea of using shower caps for shoes ❤️ Thanks for sharing your week with us (especially while injured!sending prayers for speedy healing) Happy vacay!
Thanks for always being a positive light in my day! I’m looking forward to your Disney cruise content coming this summer and more weekly vlogs of course!
Yay! Glad you loved the prints! The frozen ones aren’t on his shop right now, but he plans on putting them up soon! He has a lot of other fun prints up you can check out. 🤗
Hi Blair! I recently discovered your channel in preparation for our Disney World trip that we’ve been planning for almost a year. All your tips have been SO helpful, from your suggestion of the Wunderlist app, to your ppo breakfast review of Be Our Guest in Magic Kingdom! We’re leaving for our trip on Mother’s Day. Looking forward to your cruise vlog since I have never been on a cruise. Have a wonderful time! 😁
I am so excited to see what the Disney cruises are all about in your vlogs! I recently booked a last minute Disney world trip for my birthday and it has been so fun having something to look forward too that is coming up so soon. I hope you have a great time and happy anniversary!
I have scoliosis and I 100% understand. I have back spasms and they are the worst. I have muscle relaxers but I HATE taking them cause they make me sleepy and I can't drive.
Hey Blair! I can't wait to hear about your first cruise. We are going on our first in August and hope you can do a "lessons learned" vlog when you return. The sea lice is something I had never heard about, so I'm putting that lotion on my Amazon cruise shopping list. Ew. Glad your muscles finally relaxed. I don't have scoliosis but all of my stress goes to my shoulders/neck and causes horrible headaches. Hopefully the wedding and cruise will be fun and calming. Bon voyage!
That camera is amazing! I just got back from Maui a little over a week ago and it was so perfect. The footage looks great and we had no issues taking it snorkeling, hiking, etc. I did go to target though to get a micro sd card made for action cameras (I’m not sure which card you purchased) but I would look into that before you guys head out😊
Love all of your videos! Can’t wait to use your packing tips for mine and my husbands trip to Glacier National Park at the end of July. Will definitely be getting the eBags suitcase. 🙂
"We're gonna look a little dorky..." that was so funny. So sorry about your neck pain, you looked super sad. My dad used to have very bad cramps. His physician told him to put a bar of ivory soap in his sheets down by his feet and in his pillow case. He told him he knows it sounds crazy but he had tons of patients that swear by it. Well it helped my dad tremendously. He got to where he would even put them in his socks during the day lol. Just an inexpensive idea for you. I know it sounds crazy but I hope it helps you like it did my dad. I can't wait for all of your new Disney content!! ❤
Blair Lamb yes, I love it! You are so funny, and definitely ready for the cruise! I hope you have a great time, can't wait to see the videos! You make the best Disney videos on You Tube ❤
Yay! It’s almost cruise time for you guys! I’m currently planning a trip to Iceland :) nothing set in stone yet but it’s about a 5 hour flight from New England and we’re hoping to do a road trip around the whole island or at least little day trips from Reykjavik. I’ll probably start packing as soon as it’s booked ;)
Hi Blair! I'm so sorry that you weren't feeling well. That sounds really painful. I hope you guys have a wonderful cruise and that you feel well on it! We're driving back from Disney right now. 😢 Do you get Post Trip Blues? How do you cope? We had a magical trip but are definitely exhausted. Thanks again for your tips!
Just finished my sophomore year of college and heading to Aruba in less than a month! So happy i found your channel. I absolutely love your vlogs and all your tips!!
Sorry about your neck. Have you ever tried a water pillow? I have cervical spine issues and the best thing I've ever used has been my water pillow. I got mine from Bed Bath and Beyond online.
Hi Blair, You will need this vacation after all the running around you are doing. I hope you are feeling better too. I love the underwater camera idea! That's perfect for your trip. Also the ears are great! I will have to check out the shop too. I do love planning and packing for trips. I am like you though, if I do it early enough, not only am I more organized but its less stressful. I am looking forward to all of your Disney content and the vlogs of your cruise. You will have a great time. :-)
It's my last full week of classes and I have a pretty stressful day tomorrow (I have a presentation, a rehearsal and an audition and I'm not quite prepared for any of it) but that should be the last day until August that will be really stressful I think
So glad you liked the stickers, I just received your reply in the mail the other day and it made me so happy! There’s something about snail mail that makes me feel so special :) also very excited to see your cruise activities soon!
Thank you so much for the Vlogs! I am obsessed with them and can't wait to watch more, thank you so much for taking the time and effort to film and edit your daily life! I look forward to catching up on them on my off days! Hope you enjoy the cruise, we are cruising in a couple weeks to Alaska and I can't wait (it's for our 10th wedding anniversary, too!).
I am so sorry you are dealing with this pain! Do you get Cranial-Sacral massage? I have found that the sacral wedgie and still point inducer helps. My back is messed up from a car accident and I never knew I had slight scoliosis until the accident.
Hey Blair, at the end of this blog, I saw a monogrammed hat that you had packed in your suitcase and I really love it. I have been trying to find a nice hat that I like, since I am picky with hats. By any chance do you know where you got the hat? Thanks in advance!
🇺🇸 👯♀️haha! Did Riley say 4-H? 😳 I’m a 4-H Youth Development Agent in KY. Please tell me he was in 4-H as a kid? #smalltownlife 😂 I’ve had a waterproof camera for 12 years from amazon! It’s brand name is Pentax but I think Ricoh took over the company. I love it! It is a little pricey but it’s survived many beach, whitewater rafting and lake trips. Love your cruise goodies! ❤️🚢
Blair Lamb That is hilarious!🍀💚 I was in 4-H my whole life! I was like he did not just reference 4-H! He needs to teach you the 4-H pledge! 😂 You guys are fabulous! Hope you feel better for the cruise! Your neck is probably like Blair we need to leave for the cruise now, ready for a vacation! 🚢🐭✨
No, the closest reputable one is about 90 minutes away one way. I unfortunately don’t have 3 hours to dedicate to driving...not to mention that much time in the car just makes the pain worse!
Hi Blair! Can’t wait for your cruise videos!! I too will be going on a cruise to the Caribbean this summer and I am going to need all the tips you can give!!! Love your videos!!❤️
Hi Blair, I’ve not finished the vlog but wanted to quickly suggest you try and get a prescription for a muscle relaxant? I have a lot of health problems related to PoTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia Syndrome), one of the issues is upper back and neck pain caused by muscles tightening to try to bring blood up to my head. My physio recommended I ask my doctor for muscle relaxants so wondered if they might work for you? Hope you’re feeling better now anyway 🤞😘
I know a few people with PoTS...sorry you have to deal with that! From what I understand, it can be really rough! I’ve tried muscle relaxers in the past but they haven’t helped, unfortunately. They just make me sleepy!

There's a string of restaurants and parks right next to the ship channel and lots of people gather there to wave and cheer as you sail by. It's a lot of fun to wave back and realize your Disney cruise adventure is starting.

Oh my goodness, that must’ve been quite the scene not being able to properly move your neck for that long! So sorry that happened to you!
Ooh love SeaBands!! I get dizzy on planes and the bracelets help immensely! Peace of mind, if nothing else.
Blair! When you mentioned your niece is second from the left at her dance recital, I almost thought it was your daughter Nora! Lamb genes are so strong!😊

Hi Blair, just come across your blogs, I so feel and understand your pain mine is not my neck but my back but still feel for you. X

My family and I are headed to the Northeast in July to see Hershey, Gettysburg and Boston! Love your vlogs and so excited for your Disney Cruise!

Yes Shannon Albert!! I found her almost 5 years ago and I do anything and everything she recommends 😍😍👍👍

I’ve been to Iceland!! It was stunning!! You will love it. And the Blue Lagoon...😍😍😍x100
Hi Blair! I'm so sorry that you weren't feeling well. That sounds really painful. I hope you guys have a wonderful cruise and that you feel well on it! We're driving back from Disney right now. 😢 Do you get Post Trip Blues? How do you cope? We had a magical trip but are definitely exhausted. Thanks again for your tips!
Rub peppermint oil on your neck. It helps with my neck pain tremendously. I have 4 bulging discs in my neck.
Just finished my sophomore year of college and heading to Aruba in less than a month! So happy i found your channel. I absolutely love your vlogs and all your tips!!
Sorry about your neck. Have you ever tried a water pillow? I have cervical spine issues and the best thing I've ever used has been my water pillow. I got mine from Bed Bath and Beyond online.
We have our vows framed in our bedroom too!!!
make sure to check your bag! I cant believe I totally forgot I needed to do that recently and all of my sunscreen and products were taken at TSA, ugh!
Hi Blair, You will need this vacation after all the running around you are doing. I hope you are feeling better too. I love the underwater camera idea! That's perfect for your trip.

Can’t wait for your packing/haul videos!!!
So random, but I love your bedroom wall color! Do you happen to know the shade name and brand?
It's called Yarmouth Blue by Benjamin Moore. Thank you!
so so so excited for these disney cruise vlogs!
It's my last full week of classes and I have a pretty stressful day tomorrow (I have a presentation, a rehearsal and an audition and I'm not quite prepared for any of it) but that should be the last day until August that will be really stressful I think
Good luck! ♥️

I am so sorry you are dealing with this pain! Do you get Cranial-Sacral massage? I have found that the sacral wedgie and still point inducer helps. My back is messed up from a car accident and I never knew I had slight scoliosis until the accident.
Hi Blair. I love your bedding. What is the name of it? I know you said it’s from Pottery Barn. I’ve been enjoying your channel lately.
I'm not sure of the name of it! Sorry!
Hey Blair, at the end of this blog, I saw a monogrammed hat that you had packed in your suitcase and I really love it. I have been trying to find a nice hat that I like, since I am picky with hats. By any chance do you know where you got the hat? Thanks in advance!
My husband made it for me at his studio! 😉 If you send me a DM on instagram, I can send you his contact info. There are lots on Etsy too!
Blair Lamb Thanks, I will check!!
Thank you for your kind “shout out”, Blair. I also received your super sweet correspondence in the mail. Safe travels to Florida!
I aspire to have a clutter-free bedroom, like yours! It's the only room in our house that needs a shake-up ;)
You can do it!! 😉☺️
The Anna prints holy 😍
Hi Blair!! Random question but, where did you order your address labels? I love them.
ErinCondren.com! $10 dollar gift certificate referral link in the more description box!
Great video. What was the name of the website that you use to authenticate Amazon reviews? I so need that.
FakeSpot.com 🙌🏻
Highly recommend looking at Dream Unlimited Travel video What First Time Cruisers Need to Know.
I missed Day 4 Vlog of the Cruise?
It's live right now!
I hope you feel better!!
Thank you! ♥️

His exact response: “I was in 4-H my entire life doing a thousand things!” 😂😂 He’s most proud of going to state in consumer decision making!
Blair Lamb That is hilarious!🍀💚 I was in 4-H my whole life! I was like he did not just reference 4-H! He needs to teach you the 4-H pledge! 😂 You guys are fabulous! Hope you feel better for the cruise! Your neck is probably like Blair we need to leave for the cruise now, ready for a vacation! 🚢🐭✨
Have you tried acupuncture for your neck?
No, the closest reputable one is about 90 minutes away one way. I unfortunately don’t have 3 hours to dedicate to driving...not to mention that much time in the car just makes the pain worse!
Hi Blair! Can’t wait for your cruise videos!! I too will be going on a cruise to the Caribbean this summer and I am going to need all the tips you can give!!! Love your videos!!❤️
Cinnamon tea is my favorite.
You use Erin Condron to!
