Fireworks at Sea

One of the best nights of all on board the ships of Disney Cruise Line is pirate night! From the pirate themed dinner to the outrageously fun deck party, Disney offers a great romping adventure of song, dance and piratey fun. The grand finale of that spectacular show is the extravagant treat of fireworks at sea. Disney is a pioneer in the Fireworks industry and their patented air launch system is not only quieter, greener, more precise and less dangerous; but allowed fireworks to be displayed in ways never seen before.

How to Make Packing Lists for Vacation

I'm the type of person who writes everything down. Not because I'm obsessive, I just forget things when I don't. It's no different when it comes to packing for vacation. If I want to be sure to have everything I need (especially when packing for multiple people) I have to make a list. Lists bring order to chaos and help me to remember the million little things that have to go into out bags.
