Welcome to Embarkation Day (Part 1) of our 14-Night Westbound Panama Canal Cruise aboard the Disney Magic sailing from Galveston, Texas to San Diego, California! đ˘â¨ âśď¸ BINGE THE NEXT EPISODE (Day 2 Sea Day Secrets): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkCCSOvawEI If you are planning a Disney Cruise Line holiday or wondering what a 2-week Panama Canal repositioning cruise is really like, our Embarkation Day had it allâfrom manic Disney Cruise Line bus delays and a missing suitcase to a cheaper Navigatorâs Verandah stateroom hack and the funniest dinner disaster at Rapunzelâs Royal Table! đ Houston Airport Marriott to Galveston Port Bus Chaos After staying two nights at the Houston George Bush Intercontinental Airport Marriott, we headed down at 9:30 AM with our Bambi group stickers for our 9:45 AM Disney Cruise Line transfer to Galveston. Instead of a smooth departure, the lobby was complete chaos with queues everywhereâand we didn't get onto a coach until nearly an hour later at 10:53 AM! đ˘ Arriving at Galveston, Open Boarding & Delayed Muster Drill Because the Disney transport coaches were delayed by traffic and late hotel pick-ups, we arrived at the port at 12:46 PM just as boarding switched to Open Boardingâmeaning we walked straight onto the Disney Magic! After admiring the giant Easter egg displays in the lobby atrium, grabbing lunch at Cabanas (including Daisyâs Delights!), and checking out the AquaLab pool deck and Twist 'n' Spout yellow slide, the knock-on bus delays pushed the ship's Muster Drill all the way back to 4:00 PM. Even worse, when we got back to unpack, one of our suitcases with a third of our clothes for our 3-week holiday was still missing! â Why We Booked a Navigatorâs Verandah Stateroom We are giving you a first look at our covered Navigatorâs Verandah! It is cheaper than a standard open verandah while still giving you fresh sea views, a built-in cushioned bench, a table, and a chairâand keeps you sheltered from rain and scorching sun for two weeks at sea. đ˝ď¸ Dinner at Rapunzelâs Royal Table (And 3 Broken Mickey Bars!) For our first night ("Let the Magic Begin" menu), we got a window table (Table 4) at Rapunzelâs Royal Table and enjoyed carrot and scallion bread with cumin cilantro dip, bruschetta, calamari, chicken bastilla, mango soup, and pork Wellington. When Matilda said she didn't want dessert, our server Marco brought her an "Open in Case of Emergency" Mickey Premium Ice Cream Barâwhich immediately snapped off its stick and fell on the floor! Watch to see what happened when they brought out Mickey Bar #2 and #3! đď¸ Panama Canal Merch Haul, DVC Perks & Our Rapunzel Door After braving a massive queue for the onboard shops, we show you our exclusive 2026 Panama Canal pins, Animator's Palate and Rapunzel pins, Antâs Grumpy "Official Buffet Tester" t-shirt, and my super-soft $70 Disney Cruise Line 1998 zip-up jacket. We also share an important Disney Vacation Club (DVC) update on why they stopped putting Welcome Home magnets on stateroom doors, how we got a 3rd DVC lanyard for our giveaway, our DIY flickering lantern Rapunzel door decorations (with our Indigo Dinosaur magnets!), and the great debate over whether our Easter towel animal was a dog, a rhino, or a rabbit! đ ENTER OUR WORLDWIDE GIVEAWAY: 1.
