    Stopped by Storm Troopers!

    Look who I got stopped by in the hallway! Guys! The exclusive character interaction on the Disney Cruise Line is exactly what sets it apart from any other cruise or really any other vacation.

    The beautiful tree aboard Disney’s Very Merrytime Cruise is officially lit! Little insider tip! Take your photo with the back side of the tree! No lines and no one in your photo! Could you tell?
