Disney Cruise Line House Party
What's a Disney Cruise Line House Party you ask? So did I when Cole's football team just had to keep wining and Kim couldn't do the hosting anymore! Carol Beth called me and well, I am just crazy enough to do stuff like this - and she KNOWS it! Basically Disney sponsors the party - sends you an awesome House Party Box full of goodies for the host and the party goers and you go from there. I registered on the House Party Web site, uploaded a few photos and a video and started yakking with all the other Hosts and party goers. I also sent out the E-vites and personal e-mails to my guests.
OH, and I waited with anticipation for the House Party box to arrive! When it did finally arrive it was filled with very cool thing
s! DCL balloons, napkins, gift bags, tissue, recipes, crafts for the kids, bandannas, eye patches and cool host gifts like The Totem Pole, a very limited collectors pin and posters. I had to lay it all out on the table and take lots of pictures of it. Planning is in my blood so I began planning an awesome party!
As usual I had more ideas than I could pull off especially since the flu sidelined me for weeks prior to the party. I did manage to set up some special moments for my guests.
The bathroom became a Mini-Spa Moment! After all the door has a lock on it
and who wouldn't want to experience a nice sugar scrub and
your very own hand towel!
The Hallway took you on a tour of Adventure by Disney's United States destinations and the shower curtain traced DCL Itineraries!
Downstairs became the craft center and movie theatre and of course we dressed up as pirates, princesses and Disney Fans.......to see that, well you had to be there!
What's a party without food?
We had plenty of that!
Marilyn always helps with the food and
she kept the hot stuff hot and the cold stuff cold!
Giveaways? We had plenty Disney provided some, 3D Travel sent me some fun things and of course I had to add a few Mickey Themed stuffed animals and mugs. Everyone signed up on Mickey hands I cut out using my Cricut! Then we just pulled names out throughout the afternoon.
We played pass the Totem Pole and answered questions about Disney Cruise Line and played a few rounds of Disney's Scene IT! I brought out all my Disney scrapbooks and filled a photo frame with tons of photos from our 25th Anniversary Cruise. Read more about that here.
Disney sent an awesome video all about cruising and of course the newest ship the Disney Dream and who could resist imagining themselves riding the AquaDuck atop the ship? I can't wait!!!!! You wouldn't believe how much time I've spent trying to figure out how to put that video right here for you to see, but I just couldn't so you'll have to go here to take a virtual ride on the AquaDuck. We spent some time thanking Disney for making this a tube slide and not a body slide - you'll understand after you check out the video!
The bonus to all this fun was each person took home a special token - a sweepstakes token for a chance to WIN a FREE Disney Cruise! They also went home with a goodie bag filled with recipes, deck plans, cataloges and other goodies.
I'd love to do a party like this when the weather is warm enough to spill outside and use the pool and turn the whole yard into Disney Fun, however one thing is certain when you bring great people together with Disney you can't help but have a great time, and make a few magical moments! I'd be glad to help you make some Disney Cruise Line Magical Moments!

I had a wonderful time. Loved the themed treats and the decorations and I really loved the items we got to wear and take home with us. Very informative. I am hoping to book a cruise in the future for sure!
