Disney Alaska Cruise 2026 | My Full Cruise - Dog Sledding, Wild Bears & Glaciers: Disney Cruise Line
Watch on YouTubeVideo summary
This seven-night voyage aboard the Disney Wonder marked the narrator's first time sailing out of Vancouver to explore Alaska, an experience defined by exceptional weather and unforgettable adventures. The journey began with a sail-away party featuring unique views of planes taking off from the water, followed by rotational dining that introduced new venues like Tiana's Place and Triton's. Throughout the trip, the group enjoyed diverse culinary delights ranging from steak and crème brûlée to regional specialties such as Klondike Doughboy fried bread, reindeer sausage, fresh salmon, and fish and chips at various ports. Despite one rainy day at sea that slightly marred the experience, the overall atmosphere remained magical, culminating in a full day at sea before disembarking in Florida.
The cruise offered a rich tapestry of excursions, with Skagway emerging as the narrator's favorite port due to its picturesque gold rush history and charming local museums. Highlights included visiting the Red Onion Saloon, attempting to eat massive Alaskan king crab legs, and taking a memorable dog sledding excursion where guests rode in carts pulled by named sled dogs, learned about their care, and even petted puppies at a training camp. Another standout experience was the glacier viewing trip to Dos Glacier, where visitors could touch ancient ice chunks harvested from the water, enjoy "glacieritas" made with real glacial ice, and watch waterfalls while observing wildlife. The adventure continued at Icy Strait Point with superior whale watching views from the ship and a bear viewing trip to Chichof Island, where brown bears outnumbered humans two-to-one as they feasted on salmon in the wilderness.
The final leg of the journey included a stop at Ketchikan, celebrated as the "salmon capital of the world" and known for its Creek Street boardwalk and historic red light district. Here, travelers engaged in activities such as attending the Great Alaskan Lumberjack Show, axe throwing, exploring local shops, and enjoying treats like donuts and burgers at Burger Queen. The day concluded with a thrilling ride on the steep Skyliner gondola system, which provided scenic mountain views and access to amenities like the Crab House. In her final recap, the narrator strongly recommended the dog sledding excursion for its emotional connection with the animals, the bear combo tour for witnessing nature up close, and the adult-exclusive glacier viewing tour for its unique ice-based drinks, declaring this trip the best cruise experience of her life.

Hey friends, today we are going to
Alaska on the Disney Wonder and I am so
excited. We set sail for seven nights
out of Vancouver and I wanted to make a
video and share my whole cruise
experience with you. We have some
incredible excursions scheduled. We're
going to eat at all of the restaurants,
explore the ship, and have a cozy
Alaskan Disney wonder kind of week.
Anywho, let's go do this. This is my
first time sailing out of Vancouver. In
fact, it's my first time going to
Alaska. And I got to say, it is
beautiful out. Temperatures are in the
low 60s, and I'm excited to get a break
from all the heat in Orlando. And I'm
excited to show you uh what it's like to
go on an Alaskan cruise with Disney.
This is my fifth Disney cruise. I've
been on the Treasure, the Destiny, the
Wish, and the Magic, and now officially
the Wonder. But it's also the longest
cruise I've ever been on. Seven nights
in Alaska. And we're going to be
stopping at multiple ports. In each
port, we have a special excursion
already booked cuz I want to get the
full Alaskan experience for glacier
viewing day. We're going to go out and
get close to the glacier and make
glacier margaritas. And then in Skagway,
we're going to go on a dog sled
adventure where we're going to go
sledding with real dogs and we're going
to be able to pet the puppies and it's
going to be amazing. And then Icy Point,
we have a whale and bear watching
excursion where we're going to hopefully
see a whale hop out of water and maybe
bear snatch up some salmons, which would
be phenomenal. And then in Ketchacan, we
got the great Alaskan show that I've
been wanting to see for a long time. In
fact, this Alaskan trip is like a dream
come true for me. I've always wanted to
come here. So, thank you guys for
watching the videos. If it wasn't for
you, I would never have this
opportunity. and my friends are with me,
too. So, I'm going to have, you know,
all of my pals to enjoy all the amazing
adventures with. So, now I think it's
time to board the ship and let the uh
wonder begin. We came into Vancouver
last night and stayed at the Fairmont
waterfront because it's right across the
street from the cruise terminal, and it
looks like the Disney Wonder is coming
into dock right now. Look at how awesome
that is. We're going to watch the ship
dock before we board. Well, look at her
out there.
>> Coming in hot.
>> Coming in hot. That's our home for the
next seven nights. You guys excited? You
pumped?
>> Ready?
>> I know. Beauty.
>> I'm ready for Churro Mickey waffles.
>> Churro Mickey waffles in Alaska.
>> Cozy.
>> I highly recommend staying here at the
Fairmont waterfront if you plan on going
on this cruise because you get to just
wake up and go across the street and
it's amazing that we can see the ship
from our room and even from the hotel
lobby. And shout out to Be Our Guest
Vacations for helping me book this
actual cruise. They made it so simple
and easy, even with the excursions. I
just told them like what I wanted to do.
I was like, "We want to see bears and we
want to see whales and we we want to go
dog sledding." And they literally just
booked everything for us. So very, very
thankful for them inviting us out and
giving us a chance to show you kind of
what it's like to do an Alaskan cruise.
So now, uh, like I said, it's time to go
on the ship. We're packed and ready. And
here we go. We're boarding the ship.
Wow. I always love seeing the different
grand halls.
>> Thank you.
Wow.
Thanks.
Oh, and look, Ariel's the statue.
I love this part of the cruise. This is
my favorite. Well, now that we boarded
the ship, we're going to go up to the
room. I'll give you a little room tour.
We're going to get all settled in. Then
it's time to get ready for the sail away
party. And I am so excited to sail away
from Vancouver. I think this is going to
be one of probably the best experiences
ever. The scenery here with the
mountains and the trees and the nature,
it's just so beautiful. And here is our
room for the next seven nights. We got a
deluxe family ocean view stateoom with a
veranda. And it's the same layout as the
magic ship because this is like a sister
ship to that one. You have two
bathrooms, one with a toilet and a sink,
the other one with a shower and a sink,
and it sleeps up to five people. You
have one big queen right here, and then
the couch pulls out to a sleeper. One
drops down from the ceiling, and then
another one folds down from over here.
But you got plenty of dresser space, a
nice little television, and I love all
of the artwork. Like over here, you got
Donald on vacation. Isn't this so cool?
But my favorite thing, you know, it's
got to be the veranda. Look how
beautiful this is. Oh, I cannot wait to
just sit out here and see the Alaskan
nature. Look at the plane actually
taking off. Wow,
this is so beautiful. This is going to
be such an amazing cruise. I'm so
excited. We're still at port, so it's
probably a little loud, but uh we're
going to open up a bottle of champagne
and then get ready to sail away. It's a
tradition. It's a Disney Cruise Line
tradition.
Woo!
>> Let's get this party started.
>> Cheese plate and champagne to Canada. To
Canada. Look at this view, too. Wow.
This is going to be absolutely
incredible. Cheers to Alaska. Cheers
>> to Alaska.
>> To Alaska. to Alaska.
>> Alaska.
>> I think it's so cool how there's literal
planes just taking off in the water
here. They have like a kind of runway.
Look, cuz the planes are lined up.
There's another plane coming in on the
other side. And you can see a Chevron
gas station in the middle there. That
must be where the uh planes are fueling
up. Isn't that so cool?
I could sit here and watch them take off
all day.
Well, now that we made it up to the
stateateroom and we put all of our stuff
away, I think it's time to head back up
and get ready for the sail away party.
And like I mentioned, I can't wait to
sail away from Vancouver. This is
absolutely stunning here. And I can't
wait to sit out in the veranda, drink
coffee, and just look out at the beauty
of Alaska. It's going to be so
incredible, and I'm honored to share
this whole cruise experience with you.
It's going to be a good one. This is
going to be a memorable one.
Disney here. Make some noise.
Disney.
>> It's my goofy dance.
>> Disney wonder. The moment we've all been
waiting for. It's time to say goodbye to
Canada. And hello to your Disney cruise
vacation. So that means it's time to
count for five. Here we go. 5 4 3 2 1
and look at this view.
Wow. What a way to sail away. Now it's
time to sail away from Vancouver. I'm
going to miss seeing these mountains
though. But we got to start our Alaskan
cruise. And I can't wait to just explore
the ship with all of you. Like I
mentioned, we're here for seven nights.
So, we're going to have plenty of time
to go over all the restaurants and
lounges. And I'm excited for the
rotational dining. They have Animator's
Pallet here, which was my favorite
restaurant on the Magic. And then they
have Tiana's Place and Tritons. a lot of
new restaurants that I've never eaten
at. So, it's gonna be a lot of fun and I
can't wait to just uh take it all in.
Like I said, we're here. WE'RE GOING TO
ALASKA. GOODBYE, VANCOUVER. We'll see
you in 7 days. Wow, look at that sunset.
We're taking off. We're heading to
Alaska. I think we're going to go up to
the top deck so we can see the sunset a
little bit better. We're all excited.
Yeah, the sunset looks really
>> I know. Oh, wow.
>> Wow. Just in time.
>> I'm still kind of shocked on how cool it
is. I'm used to being on cruise ships
where it's super super hot and I'm like
super sweaty, but right now I feel like
easy breezy beautiful covergirl.
Wow. Look at us going underneath this
bridge and then the flying V with the
birds up there.
Wow.
Oh, this is majestic.
And just like that, we are on our way.
And how cool and majestic was it to go
underneath the bridge going during a
sunset? That normally isn't the time you
actually disembark. Usually it's earlier
in the evening, but we had a delayed
start. And tomorrow we have a full day
at sea. I wasn't planning on making a
video because the day after we're
actually going to Glacier Viewing, so I
probably will just jump right to Glacier
Viewing, but tonight I wanted to give
you a look at some of the restaurants
and lounges and the rotational dining
changes. You'll eat at, you know,
different restaurants multiple times a
night. And since I've never uh went to
Tiana's before, I figured that would be
a good way to start. So, we're going to
get ready for uh some dinner at Tiana's.
I love seeing all of the door
decorations for the Alaskan cruise. Look
at uh Goofy, Donald, Minnie, all in
their Alaskan gear. Look at these lights
right here, too. Normally, whenever I do
cruises, I usually bring a bunch of
Roosevelt shirts so I can be on themed
with like the dinners. And I have a
Princess and Frog one, but I only pack
flannels and hoodies cuz we're going to
Alaska. And that's literally all I
brought. But I'm excited for Tiana's
place. It's a dinner show. I think
they're going to have entertainment.
Tiana's going to probably come out and
sing and some New Orleans cuisine. Right
outside Tiana's place, they actually
have a French Quarter themed lounge.
Look at this. And get some really tasty
drinks, hang out, listen to some jazz
music. This is a very cozy area. And
then the restaurant is just down here. I
can't wait to actually eat here. I'm so
hungry, too. And I like all of the uh
decorations in here. Look at that big
sign up there. Tiana's place. Definitely
feel like we're walking into the French
Quarter. Oh, look. They have another
sign right over here, too. This is cozy.
Got beads hanging from the ceiling.
Wow. I am so excited for this on the
magic. I think this is the Rapunzel uh
restaurant.
>> Oh, I see Tiana.
I love that Tiana and Louis walk around
and actually greet the tables. So, even
if you're not sitting close to the
stage, you still have like a character
interaction with them. And I think
that's so cool cuz if you're in the way
back, you can't really see the stage.
Oh, look who's coming.
>> Wow.
>> I think he blew you a kiss, Kristen.
>> He was HE BLEW YOU A KISS.
I'M KIND of in a little dilemma because
there's multiple entre I want. And if
you didn't know, you can order as much
as you want on Disney Cruise Line, but I
think I'm going to just try to stick to
the top two and maybe get some of the
sides of the other ones cuz the most
important thing is the sides. The sides
look phenomenal. Look at how beautiful
this menu is, even the front. And I was
trying to show you uh the menu out
front, but this is a little bit better.
If you notice, they have James roasted
pork tenderloin. And that comes with
induli sausage gumbo. And then they also
have the roasted creole half chicken
with toasted corn pecan bread pudding.
So I'm kind of torn between those two.
But I also want to get Big Daddy's pot
roasted prime rib. Big daddy's roasted
prime rib. I just don't like the sides
for that. So we're going to try to do
some customizing.
>> Are you getting Big Daddy's
>> Big Daddy?
>> Yeah, Big Daddy's prime rib. Fair
enough. How's everybody doing?
>> Oh, the show's starting.
>> Fantastic. Let's have some fun. Now, I
know.
>> Nothing like some good jazz music with
some good food.
>> Thanks to our daddy. Big daddy.
>> Big daddy.
>> For my appetizer, I got some shrimp and
grits. Look at that. And I love the
plates in here. It looks so good. And
these look like some pretty beefy
shrimp. Got to do a little pinch and
pull. What are those?
>> Sean got some of Mama OD's tomato soup.
And then the uh bodane uh frers. I might
try some. Can I try some?
>> Really good. I just tried them.
>> Nothing's going to beat that though.
This grits was so good. I'm going to put
a little grits on it. I also don't know
where my fork is, so I'm using the
butter knife.
That's good for my entree. I got the
pork tenderloin and it actually comes
with sausage gumbo and they put the
sausage gumbo in the bottom of the bowl
here with rice. This looks so good
actually. I'm impressed with the food
here. It's not often you eat gumbo with
the fork, but I'm going for it.
I also had to try the prime rib, too.
Sean, whose prime rib is that?
OH,
>> BYE, LOUIS.
>> OH, look it. She's carrying his tail for
him.
>> Well, dinner was amazing. I really loved
how Tiana and Louis walked around the
restaurant. I wish that some of the food
was more kind of like New Orleans style.
Like the gumbo being laid out underneath
the pork was kind of fancy, but I'd
rather just have a cup of gumbo itself.
And we're going to be eating there
multiple times. Like I said, the
rotational dining changes and because
we're on the ship for seven nights, we
have to eat at each restaurant multiple
times. But I really enjoyed it and it
was nice to eat at a new restaurant that
I haven't been before. But we'll be back
there. In fact, I think we're going to
be eating there for frozen night uh when
we do the glacier viewing, which is when
I'll probably pick up this video.
Tomorrow is our day at sea, but they're
expecting rain all day. So, I figured uh
instead of adding it in the video, we
just relax and hang out a little bit and
then get right to the glacier action.
So, I guess uh we'll see you in the
morning. See you in the morning for some
glacier viewing. And I am so excited.
And good morning from sunny Alaska.
Look at this beautiful view. Wow. I am
so excited to go see some glaciers
today. When I woke up this morning and
saw the clear skies and the sun, I got
so excited. We spent the whole day at
sea yesterday and it rained all day.
Like, it didn't stop at all. So, we just
kind of hung around the ship, went to
the spa. I didn't video any of it
because I knew we were leading into
glacier viewing day today, which we're
gonna do the cool glacier viewing uh
excursion. We're actually going to get
off the boat and go to a smaller boat
and go out to the glacier and uh make
glacier margaritas. And I'm so excited.
That's later on in the video around like
2:00. But we woke up super early because
Mickey and Minnie are all doing photos
in their Alaskan attire up on the I
think the ninth deck. So, uh we decided
to match them. We got ourselves some
fancy outfits for the occasion. And it's
time to get changed and uh start the
day.
Yo,
get up there tight. That's it. I'm not
going.
I finally think we're ready to go meet
Mickey. He usually has a long line. So,
we woke up at 7:00 a.m. I think he comes
out at 8:30, but uh I'm expecting a lot
of people to be there, so we're ready to
go. READY TO GO SEE THE MAN HIMSELF.
WE'RE GOING FISHING. While we're waiting
for Mickey, we can actually see some
whales coming out of the water.
>> Did you see that whale?
>> I saw the tail of that one.
>> Wow.
>> That was a great whale.
>> I know that coffee keeping you warm.
>> Oh, yeah. Just got a long day out on the
boat fishing.
>> The line is moving pretty good now. So,
we're going to be making our way up to
meet Mickey. I feel a little cold, but I
feel like the hat and gloves are keeping
me warm. I had to put a baseball cap
underneath this so it doesn't fly away
cuz there's like nothing. It's very
windy up here. Great to meet you. Are we
gonna go fishing later?
>> Yeah, let's catch a fish.
>> A salmon. I want to catch a salmon.
>> We're going fishing. Wow, I feel so
honored. Where should we go? Right on
this side.
>> Couple of good little
>> Are we holding the straps? Hold the
straps.
>> All right. Ready?
>> Cheese.
>> All right.
>> Oh, okay. Hold the hats and the straps.
>> Cheese.
>> Oh, thank you, pal. Appreciate it.
That's awesome.
>> See you out on the boat. We're going to
get some dinner tonight for everyone.
>> Yes.
>> Thank you, Mickey. I'm so happy we got
to meet Mickey. And I'm so happy we
brought our fishing outfits. I think he
really appreciated it. And the wait was
like an hour long. It was definitely the
longest character line I think I've ever
been in. And now it's time for some
breakfast. Some churro Mickey waffles at
the buffet.
Oh, look. Here comes Minnie in her
outfit now, too. Her outfit is really,
really warm looking and it has these
beautiful mountains in the background
where you can actually see snow. Look,
there's an island out there. Oh, I've
been dreaming about these churo Mickey
waffles. Where are they at?
>> Uh, two things over.
>> Oh, two things over. Oh, this is the
line.
>> I don't know.
>> I also think they do churro Mickey
waffles twice on this cruise. Double the
waffle, double the pleasure, double the
cinnamon so far. And I wanted to come on
and officially welcome you all into
>> I can eat chur Mickey waffles all day
>> and you don't get your fingers sticky.
>> Cheers.
>> Cheers Mickey waffles.
>> Now that we got the churro Mickey waffle
business taken care of, it's time to go
get a spot for the frozen sing along.
They have like a frozen show instead of
a pirates night cuz we're in Alaska
covered by, you know, snowcovered
mountains. And I'm hoping that we might
get a cup of hot cocoa and just hang
out, enjoy all the views of Alaska as we
sail into the uh glacier viewing area.
And then, like I said, after that, we're
going to go on an excursion where we're
going to go out and get close to the
glacier and uh have a nice little
glacerita.
The Frozen show was awesome. And now I
think I need some hot cocoa. It's so
cold out. They actually have a little
hot cocoa station up here. Hot cocoa and
cookies. Holy moly.
>> Hi.
>> Can I have a cup of hot cocoa?
>> Oh, hot cocoa and chocolate chip
cookies.
>> I'll take that any day of the week. I
don't know what kind of life we're
living. Hot cocoa and chocolate chip
cookies in Alaska.
Are you hot? We just got back to the
room and we're starting to make our way
through the glacier viewing area. Look
at how beautiful this is. So quiet. The
water is so still. Sean's got some
binoculars trying to spot some bears and
whales.
>> Oh yeah,
>> we'll be seeing them. We're doing a bear
and whale excursion. And I think uh 2
days from now spending the day meeting
Mickey, getting churro waffles, drinking
hot cocoa. It's been amazing. And now
we're going to get ready to get off the
ship and get up close with the glaciers
and get a look at uh the wonders of
Alaska. Alaska bubbly blessed. A little
champagne before we go on the glaze.
>> Doss glacier.
>> Woo! Hey,
>> Literally, there are glaciers or iceberg
chunks just floating around in the
water. We're definitely creeping up on
it.
>> Cheers to glaciers.
>> To glaciers.
>> Enrique glacier.
>> We are all checked in and we're going to
be making our way to the uh Dos Glacier
straight ahead there. And I can't wait.
This is pretty amazing. And it got so
much colder, didn't it? We all got
matching scarves cuz we want to have
nice fancy pictures.
Oh, this is a pretty small boat. Holy
moly.
Wow. And I love my little scarf. Look at
that.
>> We're nice and cozy.
>> There she goes. We'll see you soon.
So from this tiny boat.
>> Getting a good shot of the wonder there,
Sean.
>> Oh, she's beautiful.
>> They do have food and beverages on here.
And they have an indoor outdoor section.
So if you don't want to be outside, you
can sit inside. It's kind of cozy. They
have chairs. Oh, we're going up to the
top of the boat. Holy moly, look at this
beautiful view.
Wow.
They said that this goes 300 feet under
the water and I think like 17 miles all
the way back. I don't know if that's
100% true or not, but this is
spectacular. Holy moly. It's absolutely
crazy how close we are to this.
>> It is. Did you see the ice with your two
eyeballs?
>> Yeah, I watched it happen. A big chunk
of ice just came right down from there.
>> We got to go get the glacerita now. Got
to cheers with the glacier.
Really? I could touch it?
>> Yeah.
>> You could touch the glacier. You wanted
to lick it earlier.
>> Like I mentioned before, they actually
have an indoor seating section, too. And
it's kind of warm and toasty in here.
And you get pretty good views. Look at
that.
>> And they can just sit down and kind of
take it all in. Did you touch that
glacier?
>> Touched it?
>> Yeah.
>> She said it could be up to a,000 years
old.
>> 1,000 years old. That's wild. us
together.
>> He is made with the glacier,
>> which is pretty crazy. I also didn't
believe it. My first time ever out here
last season, nobody tells you about
this. And so I got out here and they
were like, "Ellie, you've never been out
here before. You need to go get the
ice." And I was like, "Haha, you guys
are hilarious." Like,
>> "Yeah, I'll go get ice for drinks." And
then I was standing on the front of the
boat wearing a life jacket, holding a
net, and was like, "Oh, okay. I guess
we're getting glazed." They literally
just pull the ice up with a net.
>> They literally pull it out of the water
with a net.
>> So these ice cubes,000 years old.
>> They're around 1,000 years old. Yes.
>> Wow.
>> And they were probably attached to the
glacier a couple hours ago.
>> That's
>> Wow. That is wild.
>> Cheers to glaciers.
That's some high quality H2O.
Cheers.
>> The glacerita. Cheers is what I've been
looking forward to.
>> Glacerita. Cheers.
>> Pretty sure there's debris in my ice
cube.
They also said that this ice actually
fell off Doss Glacier just about an hour
ago. Isn't that crazy? And when they
were walking around with ice chunks that
they were allowing people to touch them,
literally were falling off as we were
here. This is such a cool experience.
And it's a pretty good margarita.
Oh, that's pretty cool. It's pretty
heavy, too.
>> There she is in all her wonder.
Time to head back to the ship.
>> I feel like you guys are sad.
>> Absolutely not.
>> But look at how cool it is. The ship is
like completely surround.
>> I think I might cry. This might be the
most beautiful.
>> All this ice in the water.
>> This is beautiful. I got to finish it.
>> We just found out you can also get soda
on Glacier Ice. So, we're gonna get uh
some soda pops on Glacier Ice.
>> I'm kind of sad they don't have Diet
Coke. Diet Coke on Glacier Ice would
have been iconic, but I went for a diet
Dr. Pepper instead.
>> Yeah, I got Dr. Pepper on Glacier Ice.
>> I'm just impressed they got a fruit
plate.
>> We got you sparkling water on glacing
glacier ice.
>> That's That sounds so bubbly.
>> Yeah. Enrique and glacier.
>> Leaking
glacier.
>> That's my favorite.
>> Cheers to soda on glacier ice.
>> Cheers. Lemon pure Alaska sparkling
water Dr. Pepper I'll ever have.
>> I'll have doctor's orders.
>> And take a look at this waterfall here.
It goes all the way from up there down
here. Isn't that remarkable?
This is so beautiful being out here.
Unforgettable moment here. We just got
back on the ship and I got to say that
was one of the coolest experiences I
think I've ever had in my life. I would
highly recommend this excursion. I think
it's worth the money just going out to
the glacier. But it's a lot more than
that. You go on like a three-hour
adventure, get to see beautiful
wildlife, waterfalls, and getting to
drink Glacierita with the ice and learn
so much. That was so breathtaking. like
I I'm going to probably remember this
forever and I'm so happy that I got to
experience it and make a little video to
show you. Now I kind of want to just
hang out in the room kind of just recap
and digest everything that just
happened. I mean I just want to look at
my photos and videos to relive the
moment. That's how cool it was. And uh
we ordered some room service. So I got
some chicken noodle soup on the way. The
perfect thing.
Yeah. Let's just take a look what's in
here.
Oh, is that yours?
>> A little penny. That's fine, but I'll
share it.
>> Chicken strips and French fries.
>> French fries.
>> Then we got the cheese board.
>> Oh, this is me, too.
>> Oh, tomato soup and grilled cheese.
>> More cheese board.
>> Oh, where are your soup?
>> Oh my gosh.
>> Oh, chicken noodle soup.
>> That's all we need. There's one more
under here.
>> There. Oh,
>> chicken noodle soup. If you guys didn't
know, room service is included. You can
order as much as you want 24 hours a
day. You can get chicken noodle soup at
3:00 in the morning, and that's usually
what I do every night. But since we just
came back from that uh glacier
excursion, I've been wanting some soup.
And look at that soup. Look at that.
Plenty of noodles. I like to slurp the
noodles. So delicious. Just hanging out
here. Honestly, you can't ask for a
better dining location than this.
>> Feel like there's got to be bears out
there.
>> There's got to be some bears out there.
I hope the bears don't want to get my
soup. And with that, I think we are done
here today. Honestly, I am exhausted. I
had so much fun today. Might be one of
my favorite cruise days ever. Everything
from meeting Mickey in the morning,
churo Mickey waffles, the glacier, the
glacierita. I mean, it's gonna be hard
to beat that. But tomorrow we are going
to Skagway and we're going to go
dogsledding and eat at a bunch of
Alaskan restaurants. And I'm excited. It
actually could beat it. I mean, I don't
know. It's going to be hard, but who
knows? I mean, we have so many
adventures. So, I guess uh we'll see you
in the morning for our uh next port
adventure in uh Skagway.
And good morning from Skagway. We have
finally made it to port. And I'm excited
to go out and explore a nice cozy town
in Alaska. Look at this view, though.
Honestly, the views just keep on getting
better and better. Skagway is such a
long day. I think we can disembark at
7:30 and then we have to be back on the
ship at 8:00 p.m. So, you can basically
spend the whole day in the town just,
you know, like I said, trying some of
the food, doing some shopping. They have
some shows. They have a train ride, but
we're going to, you know, do the dog
sledding along with some other
activities around. We might spend the
whole entire day off the ship. Who
knows? And then tonight we have Tritons
for dinner. I've never had Tritons
before. It's I think it's the same
restaurant where Lumiere's was on the
Magic. So, I'm kind of excited to try
it. I guess we're gonna have to get
ready. Well, I'm already ready. I think
Sean and Kristen are getting ready now.
And then uh get off the ship. And we
have officially left the ship. There she
is. Wow. You really can get close to the
front. Or is that the back?
>> That's the front.
>> Oh, that is the front. Yeah. And they
actually have the train right here as
soon as you uh step off. But we're not
doing the train today. We're actually uh
like I said, going uh dog sledding. Oh,
look, a nice little sign. Welcome to
Skagway. That's really cool. Since we
couldn't get breakfast on the ship, we
decided to grab a bite to eat before we
start our day here in Skagway. And
there's this very popular uh like
Alaskan fried bread. I think it's called
Doughboy. So, that's going to be our
first stop. And then we're going to meet
up with our tour guide and get ready to
go dogs. And it honestly looks like it's
like Main Street USA right here. It kind
of does,
>> doesn't it?
>> Feels like a movie set.
>> Yeah. Like we're walking right down the
center of Main Street, USA.
I believe this town was very famous for
gold. It was a gold rush town. And
there's about 800 locals. More people
are on the ship than people that live
here. And that's kind of crazy. And I
think they all work in the shops and the
stores. I kind of want to move here.
Let's look at the houses on Zillow. The
coolest thing is everything is walking
distance from the cruise ship. You can
see the Wonder all the way down there.
And you basically just hop off the ship
and come take a stroll right down one
street that has everything uh you can
ask for. And I love it here. I'm already
sold that I would want to move here. I
looked up some houses on Zillow. Might
be a little expensive and there's not a
lot. And uh this is uh where the
Klondike uh Doughboy is. This is the uh
fried Alaskan bread that I was talking
about. Everyone says it's very, very
delicious. I think it's probably the
most popular food item here. So, uh it's
a good uh breakfast stop. Look at the
size of this. Holy moly. Oh, it's so
hot. It's so hot. It actually might fall
apart. So, I don't want to hang it up
too good, but it's definitely the size
of my head. So, let's uh break on in.
Break on in to the uh dough boy.
Oh boy,
it's honestly so soft and delicious. And
you got to eat it like fresh. They pull
it right out of the fryer. So, it's so
hot and steamy. But I love it.
Definitely worth the hype. And there's a
pretty long line already. It just
literally opened up. So, uh, everyone
knows to come get a Klondike or come get
a doughboy at Klondike. It's a little
messy because of all the cinnamon sugar,
but uh I mean I eat beignetes all the
time. It's the same exact thing. At
least this one you can't see on a black
shirt because it's cinnamon sugar and
not powdered sugar. But I would
definitely come back and get this. Now
that we got something to eat, I wanted
to show you some of the cool museums.
One thing I noticed about Skagway is
they have a lot of saloons and old
brothel cuz of the gold rush uh
happening back in 1898. I think that was
the year. Yeah. 1898. Here is a look at
a little museum of what a saloon used to
look like. Look at this guy pouring uh
root beers in the back there. Looks like
somebody left in a hurry. Got some food
on there. He looks like a proper gent.
This is what it would look like. People
would come in here. They would gamble.
They would drink. Oh wow. They even had
roulette in here. And look at this guy
over here. A mascot customer in 1910.
His name is not known, but I think he uh
had a hard day's work in the gold mines
there. Looks like he's relaxing a little
bit. All right, time to get ready for
our dogsledding excursion. And I am so
excited. They'll pick you up and then
take you to the destination. And the
only thing I have to say is like if you
go on an excursion not through Disney,
the ship won't wait for you if uh you
don't make it back in time. But we have
plenty of time. my uh travel agent
actually, you know, told me all the, you
know, schematics for it. And if you ever
need help planning an Alaskan cruise,
like I said, I'll put a link for the uh
travel agency in the uh description so
uh you can uh see exactly or book what I
do in this video. To get to the dog sled
excursion, you got to take a van for
about a 35minute drive. Dog sledding has
so much history here in Alaska. For
generations, dogs help bring food and
resources to remote communities that
were very hard to get to, just like
horses and camels. Uh, in fact, dogs and
humans have like the longest working
history together. We're going to be
going up into the mountains and we're
going to actually go dog sledding with
some of the dogs, but we're not going to
be in any snow cuz there's no snow. So,
we're actually going to be pulled, I
think, on like a cart that has wheels.
And this is a training camp for the
dogs. And it's like kind of special the
way like a musher and their dog kind of
eat, sleep, and do everything together.
It's a really strong relationship and
kind of the birth of man's best friend.
So, you know how me and Gracie are. I
think I'm going to absolutely love this.
And we also get to hold the puppies,
like the little baby puppies.
Oh my lord.
Oh boy. Oh yeah.
I'm sorry. I got to go. I'm sure you
guys want to get in here. Thank you.
>> I love you guys. You're so dope.
>> All right, we're almost ready to go. The
dogs are excited.
>> Let's go.
Oh my god.
>> So, in the back we have Mustang and
Sunshine. They are 40-year-old married
couple. Kind of bigger all the time, but
they make it work.
>> Wow. They just stop barking.
>> Yeah. And thank you for pointing that
out because now that we can hear each
other, welcome to Alaska X. My name is
Luke. I am your muffler today. Reads in
them. This is amazing.
>> Wow. They literally pull us like
nothing.
>> Yeah. So, uh, actually my job back here
is to hold on the brakes and make sure
they only do 8 to 10 miles an hour.
They'd much rather be pulling us 20 to
25.
>> Oh, now it's break time.
>> Here we go. Break's over.
>> Misty, look ahead.
>> Hey, Misty.
>> Good girl.
>> I can't stop laughing.
Oh my lord.
Oh my gosh.
Just went down about
it. No, it's awesome. I love it.
>> Oh no, they get mad at me for slowing
them down.
>> We're slowing them down.
>> We're going left.
>> And I heard we're going to go faster.
That means left.
>> Oh my lord.
Mama Misty Hop.
>> Wow.
>> Wow,
>> that was
hot.
>> Hi, Sunshine and Mustang. How are you?
>> This is and Eddie.
>> Hi, Scandit and Eddie. Thank you.
>> Your snowmobiles.
>> Thank you so much for the ride. Thank
you.
>> Thank you.
>> Here we have Puma and Summit.
>> Hi, Puma. Hi, Summit. Hi. Hi. Yes. Hi.
>> Oh, there's Clouse.
>> Hi, Claus. Hi. Yes.
>> Wow.
What's their names here?
>> And this is Riot and Polaris.
>> Hi, Riot. Hi, Polaris. Hi.
>> Hi.
>> Are going to be this small. The big ones
are going to stay this big. Uh, most of
the time your Alaskan husky is going to
be about the size of Riot here. Uh,
these tiny guys have a lot of pointer in
their blood, which is why they so cute.
>> But here we have Tundra and China.
>> Hi, Tundra.
>> Hi, China. Oh my lord,
>> he loves.
>> Here is Phantom. This is the brother of
both Scandic and Eddie in the back.
>> Hi, Phantom. Hi.
>> And then someone who's kind of getting
used to the whole petting thing. This is
Parker. You can kind of see a little
Just checking everyone out.
>> No worries. You be you.
>> Oh, he if you want to pet him, go for
it.
>> Well, Parker, I want you to know petting
is wonderful.
>> No, itch your ear for you. Oh, I'll come
back to you, too.
>> Like, Sean,
>> and this is Misty and Mamba, the most
affectionate dogs on.
>> No way. A
>> They ran right off. If they could, they
would go home with you in their pockets.
>> I would take you home if I could. Yes, I
would.
Oh.
Yes.
>> A little bit of greasy out here.
>> Thank you guys. Thank you. I love you. I
love you.
>> The dog sledding was so incredible. And
it's crazy to think we were slowing them
down. Like the dogs are just ready to
go. And it's it's such an amazing
experience. And they're so lovely. Every
single dog has their own personality,
their own name, and their own pack that
they're in. And I just absolutely I'm in
love with this. This was such a great
experience. Before we head back down to
camp, we're going to take 5 minutes to
come to Eagle's Nest Overlook. This is
supposed to be one of the best places to
get a scenic view. Oh, it looks amazing.
Holy moly. Wow.
I really didn't think there could be a
better day than yesterday with the
glacier viewing, but this is literally
topping my list. Breathtaking. And the
air just smells better.
Wow.
Oh boy.
>> Wow. You can literally see the cruise
ships from here. That is crazy.
>> Now we're going to head back down to
camp and uh get to meet the puppies.
Time to meet the puppies.
Look at the puppies.
Oh my lord.
Hi.
Oh, I'll pet you all day. Don't you
worry.
>> Nate, what do you got there?
>> This is my baby.
>> What's its name?
>> Oh, well, it's not mine to name, but if
I was, I would probably go with uh
>> Gracie.
Weird.
>> I'm so
>> Yo, why are you crying?
>> He's crying.
>> Wow. This might be the best excursion
they ever went on.
>> I'm all good. Thank you so much.
>> Look at them. Look at them with the eyes
open. Yes, they are.
>> This is Nate's dream day
>> in Alaska. This is a I didn't think the
last excursion could be topped, but I
think it did.
>> Welcome to the school of dog warts,
Gracie girl.
I think she's like Gryffindor.
Oh.
Oh my lord. I can't even look at him.
>> I'm gonna turn you around. Okay, here we
go.
>> All right, we have Sean's shirt here.
I'm telling you, my shirt has nothing on
it. And then you go back to Nate. He is
absolutely covered
head to toe in dog hair.
>> I'm gonna move to Alaska and become a
musher.
>> Well, now we made it back to downtown
Skagway. And I think we'll get some more
food. I worked up an appetite doing all
that dog sledding. And one thing that's
very special around here that I like to
try is reindeer sausage.
I've never had a reindeer sausage, but
the bread looks phenomenal. And it comes
usually with mustard and onions. I got
just onions on it. I'm not too sure I
need any mustard. I'm excited. Having a
little reindeer dog.
>> I love the theme theming. Definitely
some Route 66 vibes.
>> Yeah, it's very cozy over here. And they
got a nice little seating area.
Kristen's got a reindeer dog. We're
going to eat them together.
>> Well, Nate, we both have our reindeer
gizzies. So, cheers.
>> Cheers to reindeer sausage.
Oh, it's sweet.
>> Wow.
Oh,
>> not too bad.
>> Interesting.
>> Enough of the reindeer sausage business.
It definitely was a unique snack. Had a
lot of snap to it, but I'm still a
little hungry. So, we made our way back
downtown and I think we're going to stop
into the uh what is it called? The red
uh red onion saloon. Red onion saloon.
Look at this. Look with the sun actually
out right now. Holy moly. I don't even
feel like this is Alaska. This doesn't
feel like Alaska.
>> Well, it's what's crazy is this is like
the United States of America.
>> Yeah,
>> that's crazy to me. It doesn't even feel
real. It doesn't.
>> It doesn't. And look at here's the Red
Onion Saloon. You ready to head in?
>> Oh, I actually am.
>> Kristen somehow convinced me to try a
reindeer shot. Looks like it's
>> Kula ice cream and peppermint snobs.
>> It's not just a reindeer shot. It's a
reindeer fart shot.
>> Oh, reindeer fart shot. Oh, okay. All
right. Well, I guess we're going to do
it,
>> guys. Reindeer fart shot.
>> Reindeer fart shot.
>> Oh, it does taste tastes like Christmas
in your mouth. I don't even think we get
anything to eat. I think we're just
getting the shots and then we're done.
>> They do brothel tours in here. 20inut
tours for $20. And you can see some of
the uh impressive artwork up there. This
is a really nice uh saloon. And I feel
like these paintings kind of remind me
of Jack in the Titanic. Paint me like
one of your French girls, would you,
Sean?
>> Uh maybe with my eyes closed.
>> The Red Onion Saloon was fun, but we
still need to eat a little bit more. I
didn't get full on that reindeer
sausage. So, I think we're going to make
our way to what's it called? The crab
house.
>> The fish house or fish company or
>> fish company. The Alaskan fish company
for some crab legs. Crab legs. Crabt
tree. Woo. Right over yonder is the
Disney Wonder. And when we first walked
over here, we thought this big line was
for uh the crab legs, but it's actually
to get in that cruise ship. Here's the
crab legs area. I don't think I've ever
had Alaskan king crab before, but I saw
a couple of them come out and they're
gigantic. And then I looked on the menu
and it's $189.
So, I think I'm going to have to try it.
I got to give it a go. Went in Skagway.
Skagway Fish Company. And right there it
is. The Alaskan King Crab Cluster. $189.
Weighing in at around2 lb. These
clusters go fast. You can also get uh
the two-piece king crab plate for 145. A
lot of this seafood is very expensive,
but I'm assuming it's all fresh. And you
know, we're on vacation. Oh my lord,
look at the size of these Alaskan king
crab legs. Me and Kristen both decided
on trying them. $189.
Well worth it, though. I mean, this is
huge. I'm going to try to lift it up to
give you an idea on how big these crab
legs actually are. They asked me if I
wanted help to actually eat it cuz I
don't know what I'm doing and Kristen
walked away. So, I'm just going to try
to figure it out. Just going to take a
leg out.
Oh, wow. I kind of just went all in for
it. Oh, and I spoke my butter.
No, I don't know what I'm doing. Am I
doing this wrong? Oh, that's a little
sharp.
May I?
>> Sure.
>> Okay. May I see your red tool in there?
>> Oh, you need the red tool.
>> Yes. Now, go backwards. Press down and
it will open it up just like a can
opener.
>> Wow. You did that so gracefully.
>> They give me a little practice.
>> Yeah.
>> Look at that little biteful.
>> It is definitely very hard to get apart.
I don't know what I'm doing at all. I'm
just kind of snapping, breaking, and
then pulling and shredding. But I did
get to taste the meat. And it is very,
very sweet, very tender and delicious,
just like my love. And it kind of looks
like it. What? It kind of reminds me of
an alien. Like Sean said, it's like I
got a big old leg right here. It was a
cool experience eating Alaskan crab legs
in Alaska for the first time, but I
definitely have to find out a better way
of eating crab because that was very
difficult. It hurt my hands a lot. The
meat was delicious. Like, it was so
good, but I feel like I was missing
everything. I was scavenging to try to
get there. So, I'm going to try to do
some tutorials and learn. The waitress
though, she was so fantastic. She was a
pro at it. She was just like boom. But I
don't follow directions. Well, I mean,
she could have showed me probably 10
more times and I still wouldn't have get
it, but it's still it was all about the
experience. And I'm glad that I got to
try it. And now we have plenty of time
to just hang out and relax uh before we
have to get back on the ship. Or we
might just go back. We'll see how it
goes. I can't believe how quiet the town
has gotten. And we have a couple of
hours, I think two more hours, but we
decided to just start making our way
back on the ship. Look at how beautiful
this is one last time. I love coming
here. And the street that we are on,
like the downtown is right there. And
you can see the uh Disney Wonder is uh
parked right here. Literally, it's so
close. And look at these mountains over
here, too. This is so just breathtaking.
I'm literally shook. I really am going
to remember this forever. Now we have
made it back on the ship. And boy, I got
to say today might have been one of the
best days of my life. I mean, everything
from the dog sledding to just exploring
the town and trying all of the food. It
was just unbelievable. And the views,
it's just so cozy here. I would
definitely move here if I could, but I
I'd be too far away, you know? It'd be
in the middle of nowhere. I got to be
near some of my favorite places. And I'm
excited for tomorrow because like we're
only halfway done. We have so many more
adventures to do today or not today,
this trip. Today we don't have anything
else to do except for go eat at uh
Triton's which I'll take you guys and
show you. I've never eat at this
restaurant. So uh we'll uh check it out
and get a little bite to eat before
calling it a night. And here is Triton's
right in the Grand Hall. Look at this in
here. It looks very nice.
>> Wow. Wow, I like the blue setting. This
is very pretty.
Wow. Table 7. It's definitely a lot
nicer in here than Lumiere's, I think. I
think it's because of the blue. Like, I
just like the blue. It's very nice. And
the uh menu looks pretty good. You got
some pasta, some salmon, some breast of
chicken, some lamb, and uh carved roast
beef tenderloin.
Oh, yeah. Just a little dabbing. Oh,
that's good. Thank you. What is that?
Gravy.
>> Peppercorn.
>> Peppercorn. Oh, well, the steak has
arrived along with the chicken. They
both look fantastic. I like how the
mashed potatoes are like a little
rectangle and the green beans are like
hay stacks wrapped in bacon. I had this
at um Lumiere's and it was very, very
delicious. I remember because I like the
way the bacon was wrapped around the
green beans. So, cheers.
Oh yeah. And now for the Grand Maret
sule.
>> That looks very fancy. Thanks for the
assist.
>> Thank you.
It looks nice and creamy.
Ooh,
that's very strong.
Goofy's walking around in his lumberjack
outfit. They're just blasting music. I
love it. Dinner at Triton's was amazing.
I really love the steak and the Grand
Maret sule was unbelievable. In fact, we
got two. We got two Anna. I think a
vanilla Marne
>> creme brulee.
>> Oh, a van a vanilla creme brulee. So, we
got two little one. Kristen's laughing
at me butchering all of these words, but
it was very delicious. And the the steak
was the shot tone low and that was
great. And I loved it all. So now I
think it's time to go to bed. My dogs
are barking. Literally, they were their
dog. My dogs are barking from a good dog
day. So I guess we'll see you in the
morning for Icy Straight Point and uh
some bears and whales. Bears and whales.
And good morning from Icy Straight
Point. I'm excited to go out on a little
whale and bear excursion and try some of
the food. It looks beautiful here. Very
uh very green hills.
I feel like we've been very blessed with
this weather except for our first day at
sea where it rained all day. Yesterday
it was like dream weather in Skagway.
And even this morning, it's a little bit
chilly, but the sun is out. The skies
are clear. This has been amazing. And
I'm excited cuz we still have another
port. We have Ketchacan tomorrow. This
is such an adventure. That's one one
thing I can describe an Alaskan cruise.
It's an adventure. We are about to go
out on a whale excursion, but who needs
it when it's right outside the boat?
Wow.
Oh my lord.
I cannot even believe this right now.
That is just incredible.
That's I guess the way to start a whale
excursion. We didn't even get off the
ship yet.
Oh, as soon as we get off the ship, they
actually have I think our whale watching
boat right over here. We don't have to
go far at all. Here's the boat itself.
Looks like a nice decent size and it has
restrooms.
Once the boat stops, you can get up and
walk around. They even have a second
floor where you get a good view. And
there's an eagle in a tree.
>> Oh, I see an orca.
>> Different types of orcas. So, this is a
transient plot of orcas. Looks like
they're getting a little
right there.
They just said that there's a group of
uh or a pot of hunchbacks.
>> Yeah. At least five or six.
Now we're heading back to the ship. And
there she is, the Disney Wonder.
>> The whale watching portion of our
excursion is done. We come back to the
ship and then we go uh I think on foot
or maybe on a bus to go to the bear one.
It was pretty cool. I just wish that we
got a little closer to the whales. I
feel like I actually got a better whale
viewing from the cruise ship itself. Oh
wow, this looks really pretty up here.
We got a statue of an orca over there. I
see a fireplace.
The ship is uh back yonder.
We got such another beautiful day. I
have gloves on and I'm wearing a hoodie
and it feels like summer in Florida
right now. The sun is beating down. I'm
honestly sweating and I really never
expected this in Alaska. And now that we
made it over, we're just waiting for our
guide to pick us up to take us out on
the bear excursion. But I want to show
you they have like a gondola here and a
bunch of restaurants. And I hope we can
ride it later. They have a gondola that
they use as transportation to get uh to
the other side. Look at this. Takes you
up right through those trees there. Wow.
We're going to probably try to do that
after our bear excursion. But they also
have nice little cozy spots where they
have fire. This is like really really
nice here. They have a smokehouse
restaurant over here, a duck point bar.
And you can see the ship in the
background there. This is so cozy. And
also they have an awesome zip liner over
there that looks really cool. And I
think it's like a very long zip liner. I
heard a couple people talking about it.
For the bear excursion, we take about
about 30 minute uh bus ride to uh
another part or another town and they
have like kind of boardwalk platforms
overlooking uh the rivers and the
streams. Hopefully we can catch a bear
snatching up a salmon. Um we are on
Chichoff Island today. Chichoff is the
third largest island in Alaska. It's
over 2,000 square miles. A gigantic
piece of land. It's mostly wilder. Only
four little towns here. Only 1,200 human
beings inhabit this giant island. Uh we
share the island with around 3,000
coastal brown bears. We're miles away
from civilization and we're uh heading
out on a nature hike about a mile deep.
And we just saw a bear, so we have to
keep our voices down, but we have
guides. It's going to be fun.
This area has one of the highest
concentration of brown bears. In fact,
they outnumber the uh humans on the
island. Two to one. Two to one. That's
insane. So, for every one human, there's
two brown brown bears.
Oh my lord.
It literally landed right next to us.
Holy moly. This is insane.
there right now.
There's another bear.
She's right here.
That bear excursion was incredible and
honestly a little scary. It was so cool
just getting away from like, you know,
the port area and going deep deep deep
deep in the wilderness and getting to
see the nature, the bears, eating
salmon. Like that was I I mean I don't
even words cannot explain how amazing
this whole entire cruise has been. It's
been like just like a I I I feel like
it's not real life. And I can't wait to
actually watch this video back. I mean,
and we're not even done with today. We
actually uh going to grab something to
eat and then uh go on the uh gondola. I
want to take a scenic view. Here it is.
The crab house. Looks like it's right on
the water, too. Oh, this is cozy.
Wow, I can smell the crab already. I
decided on trying something other than
crab since we had our first Alaskan crab
or king crab yesterday. So, I ended up
getting the reindeer chili and the
jumbolaya. And I don't know if there's
reindeer in the jumbolaya. It looks like
there's chicken, but I want to start
there. Oh, it looks pretty good.
M.
Oh, very good.
>> This is very delicious.
>> I don't think Alaska is actually like
known for their jumbolaya, but it's nice
that they have a nonseafood option on
the menu, and it's pretty tasty. It's
not too spicy. Now, I want to try the
reindeer chili. We had reindeer
yesterday, but in gizzy form. So, uh
it's going to be cool to try it a
different way. Look at that. Looks like
some good chili.
M. It is good chili.
Enough of the jumbolaya business. It's
time to go ride the gondola. And this
one is actually the small one that they
use for transportation to get around the
island. We're going to go on the red one
that takes you up the island. And here's
a little map uh showing you what I'm
talking about. If you look uh we are
right here. Yeah, we are right here. And
we take this gondola here. And then we
take the Sky Peak Gondelola all the way
up to the mountain top and they have
like another little port over there kind
of area. So, it's a pretty cool uh cool
ride. I believe the green one is free,
but the red one costs money unless you
get the wristband, which we got it
either for being on the Disney Wonder or
being on our adventure today. I'll find
out later and let you know. Oh, these
ones don't have any characters on them,
though.
Wee!
You are now passing by Caribbean Beach
Resort. They have a really cool obstacle
course in the middle of the jungle here.
Wow, this is so beautiful, though. And
this is free. This uh doesn't cost
anything. It's the red one. That's the
one that cost a little bit.
>> We're heading up.
>> All right, we used the green gondola to
get where we needed to go. Now it's time
to board the red one. And wow, this is
steep. It costs $55 for adults and $45
for children. But wait till I show you
how steep this actually is. And once
again, look at the weather route. Are we
in Florida or Alaska?
>> Sunshine here.
>> I know.
>> Tell them that our ship covers it, so
it's free for
>> Yeah, it's free. Yep.
>> That's awesome.
>> Exclusive for the Disney Wonder.
Look how far this goes up. And it's so
steep.
I'm so excited actually.
>> Wow.
It got so quiet.
This is so amazing. I'm shook at how
steep this actual hill is. I've never
been on a gondola like this.
>> This is like straight up. We're like
going straight up. I know.
>> They should They should definitely get
one of these at Disney.
>> I feel like we need like some kind of
wilderness music in here.
>> Oh yeah,
>> I know. Don't tell Sean twice.
>> Do you have anything SOS?
>> Oh, I got some.
>> You couldn't have picked a better song.
Angels in the outfield. When the Angels
win the penny, kid.
Oh my lord.
Wow.
On our way to Hollywood Studios.
>> But look up now. Like we're Oh my god.
>> What?
Look, we might be able to see some
whales.
>> There's our cruise ship bat.
>> So tiny, guys.
>> We're almost to the top.
>> Popping. My ears are popping.
>> We're almost to the top. This is so This
is crazy.
Honestly, wow. That was such a cool
gondola ride. Honestly, that's my new
favorite Skyliner. And now that we're
all the way up here, we get a view. Look
at this. Holy moly.
I love how we can still see the snow
caps on the mountains. Wow.
>> Now imagine some whales just floating on
by.
>> Honestly, with our luck, that's
literally what would happen.
>> For real.
>> This has been incredible.
>> I feel like the mountain is moving.
>> The first gondola was about a 5minute
ride and then this red one was about 10
minutes. And once you get to the top,
they have icy straight brewing so you
can grab a nice cold beer. Got a
beautiful fire globe. And we get to sit
here and just watch the gondilas go up
and down.
Maximum coziness here. Cheers to the
Disney wonder.
Now it's time to head back down.
Heading down the mountain. Nervous.
>> Wow. Here we go.
>> I'm turning back down.
>> This the only way to get down.
>> I I'll just hike down.
>> Seriously, what would happen if this
thing broke and you were stuck up here?
They have to have some like sport
utility vehicle
>> alternative.
>> Yeah. That's going to come and rescue
us.
>> Two legs. Yeah. Helicopter.
>> Wow. There's a ship.
That's a glorious shot of a ship,
honestly.
>> Wow.
>> Oh my god. We're about to go straight
down.
>> We literally stopped at the highest
point. Now we're starting to roll again.
gravity.
>> The cruise ship looks like a little tiny
like model cru. It looks like a toy
cruise ship.
>> That's a holy. I didn't think the cruise
could see more beautiful.
>> This gondola ride was a great way to end
our day here at Icy Point Straight. Now
it's time to get back to the ship and uh
I guess get ready for dinner or take a
nap. Oh, we're coming in hot. We just
got back on the ship and look at how
many people are enjoying the pool for
dinner tonight. We have Animator's
Pallet and I love this restaurant on the
Magic. We're doing a different type
where it's not the show with Sorcerer
Mickey. I think you actually draw and
they like projected on the screens. Sean
and Kristen were telling me about it.
So, I'm kind of excited. But I'm also
excited for this sunset this evening. I
mean, we had such an amazing day at Icy
Straight Point and I loved, you know,
seeing the bears eat salmon and taking
the gondola. I mean, I loved it so much.
I hope I started saying it right. I was
calling it all different names, but uh
to end the day with the beautiful sunset
and a nice little dinner at Animator's
Pallet, that sounds very nice. Like
seriously, everyone would just think
cold weather, you know?
Alaska. But look at this sunset peeking
over the mountains right now, right from
our balcony. Isn't this just so amazing?
Honestly, I know I'm going to say this a
couple of times. We got so lucky with
this weather.
Ice cream and a sunset
before dinner. I love just walking into
animator's pallet. It just looks so
pretty in here. It's like we're stepping
into a black and white cartoon.
This is really cool. It's like we draw
our own character and just like uh
Kristen and Sean said, they project it
up on the uh screens. Look at this. And
then I assume it's just going to pop up
there somewhere. It's going to do a
little dance for you.
>> I'm glad we don't have to draw and it's
just coloring cuz I really
>> You do have to draw.
>> Oh. Oh jeez.
Oh boy. This is going to be interesting.
I really don't know how to draw, but I
tried drawing myself the best I could.
My mom probably would love it. I tried
to put a little Roosevelt shirt on
there. And then I forgot that I wear
glasses. And I also realized I don't
have eyebrows, so I didn't put those in
either. But everything else looks pretty
accurate, I think. You guys let me know
what you think. Did I come in kind of
close? I mean, we're both bald. Kristen,
you drew yourself.
>> I feel like you and I went for the same
vibe and then Sean kind of just took
over the
>> I think Sean has a uh hidden talent.
>> I was feeling the animation spirit, so I
drew not myself, but Michael Eisner.
>> Michael Eisner.
>> Ridiculously spot on. I didn't know you
could draw.
>> It's the best I could do with a mark.
>> Someone needs to mail that to him.
>> Oh.
Wow. Now that's what I call a colorful
entrance.
Oh, hi folks. A gosh. Thanks for all the
great drawings. These are just what I
need to whip up a little animation
magic.
I'll be back later, but right now we
invite you to sit back and relax as the
dining room proudly presents
>> your dinner. We ask the dishes.
>> I almost forgot to show you guys my food
before I ate it. I got the chicken
snitle and I got the pasta. And this
pasta is like a really unique color.
It's like purple black.
>> Might be squitting pasta.
>> Is it really? I I thought it was
linguini. I'll be honest, I've never had
pasta like this before. I'm kind of
excited.
>> It's really good.
>> I don't like it.
>> Meanwhile, I was just saying how good it
was.
>> There's something taste. I don't know.
Oh my lord.
>> Oh wow.
>> Oh my god.
And when you're done with your meal,
they give you your art back and they
stamp it certified Disney animation.
I'm just so You did such a great job.
>> This I hopefully I'm the first one to
draw Mike Lisman. I I honestly think you
might. But with that, I think we are
going to call it a night. Tomorrow,
we're going to catch a can and we have
the great lumberjack show. I think it
is. We're going to do some axe throwing
and try some salmon cuz it's the salmon
capital of the world. So, I guess uh
we'll see you in the morning. See you in
the morning. And good morning from
bright and sunny Ketchacan. Look at how
gorgeous this is. Honestly, we are
blessed again with amazing weather. They
actually said the highs are going to be
in the 70s. 70°ree weather in Ketchacan
and the sun is out, no clouds in the
sky, and I'm excited to go explore. I'm
happy I get to wear my Ketchacan hat
today. I got this hat just for this
trip. And we don't have any big
excursions planned for today, just the
great Alaskan uh lumberjack festival.
And then I think we're going to do some
axe throwing, too. So, that's going to
be fun. Other than that, we're going to
just explore around, catch a can, check
out all the food spots, and hopefully
see some wildlife, and take it all in.
This is our last port in Alaska before
we have another day at sea. So, I kind
of want to I don't want to leave. I
don't want to leave. We're getting off
the ship. Look at Ketchacan. This is
such a cute little town. And this is
probably the most civilization we've
seen in a week. Holy moly. And it's so
close to the ship. Wow. You literally
just come right off and walk across and
you're in town. Kristen has a lot of
spots for us to get food. And I think
we're going to go straight to the uh
lumberjack show. As soon as we uh get in
town, it's uh time for the show and then
it's time to eat. The Fish House is
right next door to the Great Alaskan
Lumberjack Show. I kept on calling it a
festival earlier.
It's Well, I guess it is a festival.
>> You know, axes and wood.
>> Axes and wood. Wow. We just saw some
salmon. This is the salmon capital of
the world. So, I'm going to be eating
that later. It looks like there's no
recording during the show, but they're
doing a little pre-show now. Some axe
throwing. Look at this guy. He's lining
up. He was built by
>> Oh, he psyched us all out. But this
looks so interesting. I'm kind of
excited. We just got done with the Great
Alaskan lumberjack show. And I think we
actually booked the non-D Disney
exclusive one because Goofy never came
out. They do offer a Disney exclusive
one where Goofy comes out. This one
probably had more action and they
probably make the one with Disney a
little bit more kid-friendly because
they were using some like louder I guess
chainsaws in there. I'm not too sure the
difference. But I mean it's like your
typical tourist show, you know, like
it's something I think I would see on
192 in CM. You know what I mean?
everybody here and catch a can. This is
the historic creek street and this is a
nice little uh boardwalk that goes along
the creek where you'll see some salmon
hopping out there and it's got a bunch
of different shops and local boutiques.
It's really fancy. It's really colorful
and very picturesic. I think that's a
word. Over here you got Dolly's house
where both men and salmon came upstairs
to spawn historic red light tour. And
then you got the uh Perfect Partners,
Alaskan Gold, Australian Oracle. See,
bunch of nice little shops. Oh, wow. You
can see a bunch of salmon in there. Holy
moly, they're really hopping around.
This is so cozy.
Creek Street's loaded with different
shops, stores, and food spots. And I
just like the color of the buildings.
One side of Creek Street, you have fresh
salmon swimming away. And then they on
the other side you have a bunch of
salmon carcasses. I think a bear might
have come through here and just plucked
them all up. Like look at that. That
kind of looks like a fresh salmon that
lay in there, doesn't it?
>> Kind of does. But then look at that one.
You could just see the bones.
>> That's wild.
>> The whole like spine and everything.
>> I thought it smelt a little fishy here.
>> Weird. I think we're going to grab
something to eat from the Alaska Fish
House. They got crab legs, seafood,
fish, and chips. I don't know. I want to
have some salmon. I would love to catch
my own salmon, but most of the salmon
that's in the creek there look way way
too dark. And I don't see anybody uh
pulling anything in. Doesn't look like
they're biting at all. Look at this
little guy swimming right here.
There's a whole big salmon literally
right there.
>> Yeah, I'm going to eat it. There was
not. I thought I saw some.
>> Sean got fish tacos.
>> I'm excited. This is the most
anticipated meal of the whole trip for
me.
>> Yeah.
>> 37.
>> 37 right here. Yeah. Yeah.
>> Enjoy. Oh, that looks really good.
>> They look mad.
>> Yes. Look at that. Fish and chips. I
think I'm going to try the halibit first
because I had uh fish and chips in
Skagway and it was literally the best
fish and chips I've ever had in my life.
And these ones look like they're Panko
uh Panko brought it. So, uh let's break
on in.
Oh, wow.
That is definitely some steamy fish.
Cheers. Definitely not as good as the
ones in Skagway, but I still want to try
each of the fish. And I think this one
might be salmon. We'll find out when I
break on in. Oh, yes. This one's
definitely the salmon. I am definitely
not a big salmon person, but this is uh
the salmon capital of the world, like I
said. So, went and catch a can.
I'm definitely still not a salmon guy.
They're probably delicious, but it's
just my preference. The fries though,
they have a little barbecue seasoning on
it. I kind of like that though. For the
most part, we're taking it real easy
here at Ketchacan. We've already done a
lot of like adventurous excursions the
past couple of nights. Today, like I
said, I just want to walk around, check
out the town, get some of the food. I'll
show you some of the touristy spots like
Creek Street, and also, of course, get
some salmon cuz it's the salmon capital
of the world. But a nice relaxing day
and catch a can. Sounds nice. Now that
we got some fish and chips, I want to go
around and explore the town. We already
checked out Creek Street, but uh this
area over here is like literally
downtown. They even have a hotel up on
the mountain there, a crosswalk,
and if you're missing the Caribbean
while you're on a cruise, they always
got some Caribbean gems for you. This is
so cool, though. I love walking around
the streets. This is definitely the most
civilization we've seen. I definitely
brought all the wrong clothing for this
cruise, though. I thought it was going
to be cold. I'm wearing a flannel and
I'm sweating bullets. Sweating bullets
in Kitchen Can. A nice little burger
joint called Burger Queen. Established
in 1980 and it actually started as a
food truck. Burger Queen right here.
Isn't that kind of crazy? And then it
got so busy that uh it ended up being
its own location. So I want to try the
burgers and they smell delicious. Char
grilled. Char grilled is the way to go.
I thought I was going to be eating
nothing but seafood here in Alaska. But
when I walked past that restaurant, I
smelt that char grilled and I knew I had
to come get it. Look how beautiful that
is. I like my burgers charred like that.
Who doesn't love a charred burger? So,
cheers.
And nothing on me.
>> All right,
>> you guys ready for fart shot round two?
>> Why are we doing fart shots?
>> Ducks. Cheers.
>> I need my burger to wash that down.
>> It's not great, but it's not bad.
>> Look at this. A house above a tunnel.
And we're actually heading up this way
cuz I think we're going to get some
donuts.
Jellyfish Donuts is another spot I
wanted to stop and try. And I got myself
a original glaze. Look at that. Glazed
Donuts in Alaska.
>> That looks like a very glazed donut.
That looks delicious. Looks like
cupcake.
>> Yeah. Isn't this whole entire town just
so cool? This donut is thick and it's
leaking glaze everywhere. So, we're
diving on in. It's hot, too.
Oh, we had donuts, burgers, fish, and
now it's time to start making our way
back probably to the main port area.
That was the uh tunnel we walked through
before underneath that grassy null
there. I just love how all the homes are
up on the hills with amazing views. It
is really beautiful almost everywhere in
Alaska.
But after visiting all of our ports, I
do have to say I think Skagway was my
favorite. Skagway, Icy Point, just for
the nature aspect and then uh catch a
can. Glacier uh glacier viewing. I don't
think that's a port. I think that's just
a an adventure before we get on the
ship. We're out here just taking good
photos.
>> Photo shoot with the back side or the
front? Is that the front?
>> That's the back.
>> That's the back. That's the wonder butt.
It literally is just so gorgeous out. I
never thought I'd have weather like this
in Alaska.
We made it back on this ship and I think
we're going to go get our ice cream.
Look at how beautiful this is. The
pool's closed still, though.
>> I might do I might do a pool day
tomorrow. It's our day at sea and our
last day on the cruise. Want to hang out
in the hot tub as much as I can. And now
we are leaving Ketcha Can. Look at how
beautiful this sunset is. I feel like
I've said that every single day. Every
single sunset has been spectacular. And
now I guess some cheese plates.
>> It's tradition.
>> Cheese plates.
>> I can't wait for
>> maybe a bottly uh a bubbly bless.
>> Bottle of bubbly bless.
>> We have Tiana's again for our rotational
dining. But I don't know if I'll show
you or even if I go eat. We already had
a lot of food at Ketcha Can. I might
just go to bed early so I can wake up
tomorrow and enjoy our day at sea. I'll
try to show you basically all of the
stuff around the ship since we're going
to be on it all day. We had one day at
sea in the beginning, but like I said,
it rained all day, so it wasn't the best
to show you. So, this is my chance to
give you a tour of the ship. So, I guess
uh we'll see you in the morning for our
final day. Our final day. I'm actually
really sad about it, but we'll be back
soon. I I definitely think I'm going to
be an Alaskan cruiser now. And good
morning from our last day on the ship. A
whole day at sea. The mountains are
gone. The weather is starting to look a
little bit brighter. Actually, actually
looks darker than Alaska. It's kind of
funny how we were blessed with such
beautiful weather and now we're drifting
back to uh Vancouver and it's starting
to get a little hazy. Honestly, today I
just want to relax and kind of uh let
everything sink in. We had an incredible
cruise. We got to do so many amazing
adventures and I'm sad to leave the
ship. We're not even like leaving. We
have a full day at sea and dinner
tonight. But I just woke up like
completely sad today. So, I probably
won't show you much. I definitely want
to show you dinner because it's lobster
night and we'll see how many lobsters I
can actually eat. and maybe we'll uh
browse around the stores and just give
you a rundown of the ship. I want to
stop into the gift shop and see some of
the exclusive Alaska merchandise. Look
at this nice Alaska spirit jersey. Oh,
how you doing, guys?
>> Good. How are you?
>> Alaska tumbler right here. Some pins.
>> I like this ornament a lot.
>> Oh, that ornament is nice. I like what
you're wearing, Kristen. That is nice.
>> I'm all Alaska.
>> I know you're already done. Somebody
went shopping already.
>> Oh, I did. I did.
>> They actually have a lot of Alaska
exclusive like merchandise. They even
have little Mickey plushes that uh are
the same way we dressed up.
>> Sean's pointing out this uh nice little
long sleeve shirt.
>> Nice Alaska school.
>> Oh, I thought that was the front, but it
was actually the back.
>> Nice little uh pocket uh design here.
>> Yeah. It's also good to point out that
they have what are these? Hana.
What are they? Hel I don't even know the
brand for
>> you know these Oh heli heli Hassan these
are like Hansen
>> Hansen
>> oh Hansen Hans these are really good
especially uh for the cold weather here
hassan
>> they sell these in Norway
>> I know they do they sell them in Epcot
so it's cool that they have them on the
ship and here's the Mickey plushes I was
talking about they also have Minnie over
here which is kind of cool after doing
some shopping and eating a little lunch
I think it's time to just kick back,
relax before dinner and uh pack up.
Gotta pack up. I always like to pack my
bags the night before cuz in the morning
I don't want to wake up and just be
running around. So have everything nice
and packed and then it's off to dinner.
Off to Tritons for uh all you can eat
lobster. And I guess it's time for our
last dinner on the cruise. Good old
Tritons. You can see Mickey up there
doing photos. Got to grab our nice
little sanitizer wipe. Hey yo. Hey.
I love that they give you face wipes
before you get in here.
You did that so easily. Try.
>> Thank you.
>> And we got another one. We're double
lobstering it up. Double lobster on a
Thursday afternoon.
>> Lobster on a Disney cruise. I've never
stayed long enough to get this. Wow.
Yeah, we need as much lobster as
possible. Got to get all that lemon
sauce.
Oh, I like it. Lemony.
>> Pretty fresh.
>> Look at that. That is a big lobster.
>> This is my third lobster tail and I
absolutely love it. I think this lobster
was way more than what I was expecting.
I thought it was going to be like, you
know, crappy lobsters, but this is
beefy. Beefy beefy lobster. Normally, I
eat lobster in small bites cuz I want to
savor it all, but I've been taking big
bites tonight.
Well, now that we finished our lobster
dinner, I wanted to come over to the
after hours area, show you some of the
lounges, cuz honestly, we didn't spend a
lot of time in here. It's different in
Alaska when you're going out and doing
port adventures and just seeing all the
beauty and the nature. So, like we
didn't spend any time back here. They
got the Cadillac lounge.
>> Look at this GM partnership here. Huh.
>> Wow.
>> I love Cadillacs, too.
>> Is that really the price of gas?
>> I wish.
>> Can you imagine if they actually showed
the gas wherever we were sailing to?
Look at this in here. That
>> be such a random detail.
>> Oh, wow. It's so pretty. It kind of
reminds me of a 1950s diner.
And just like that, we are back home in
Florida. And I had an amazing cruise.
Dare I say the best cruise I've ever
been on. We went to the Cadillac Lounge
and we started talking about some of our
favorite moments of the trip. And we
just got so like invested in the
conversation, I didn't even record an
outro. And then we woke up super early
in the morning. It was like 56 a.m. and
we were able to disembark the ship at
7:30 and were able to catch a flight at
10:00 a.m. to be back here in Florida.
So, I figured I'd close out the video
and uh give you kind of a whole recap of
my cruise and talk about some of my
favorite moments. And I think uh between
all of the ports that we went to, uh uh
it's got to be Skagway is my favorite
stop. I mean, I loved Glacier Viewing,
but I don't think that's a port. So, I
want to stick with just Skagway only
because I was so blown away by how
amazing the town just looked like. It
was straight out of like a book. Like,
honestly, it felt unreal. almost like on
a like movie set, but it was real and
there were real people that lived there.
And we even got to go to the grocery
store and kind of uh look at some of the
expensive things. In fact, I think I
bought a lent roller for $10 cuz I had
to get all the dog hair off of me. And
by the way, speaking of the dog uh
excursion, wow, that was such an
emotional moment for me. I'm going to be
honest, I even cried. I was so happy
just playing with the puppies and they
all were just so sleepy. They literally
were just laying right in your arms and
I just want to relive that moment. And
then the dog sledding itself. It's crazy
just seeing the connection between a
musher and their dogs. Like those dogs
literally are like family and they play
and they all have their own personality
and uh they are, you know, good at what
they do. Uh we were slowing them down.
they want to go like 25 miles an hour
and the mushy on their backs saying that
he's just basically holding the brake
like oh ho ho and uh it was such a great
experience. Definitely highly recommend
that excursion. And speaking of
excursions, like I said, if anything
you've seen in this video looks like
something you want to do and you want to
uh plan a vacation, use the same uh
travel agency that I used uh Be Our
Guest Vacations. I uh put a link in the
description where uh you can uh maybe
get a quote from them or just touch
base, but uh they really helped me kind
of pick out all these excursions. And
I'm so glad we did the mushers one and
then the icy straight point uh doing the
whale watching bear uh combo. I I have
to say I was a little underwhelmed with
the whale watching only because I feel
like we got a better view of the whales
from the ship. Like literally, you could
stand on the ship and get a way better
closer look of all all the groups of
whales. And uh it's something that you
have to do as a combo to get the bear
one. And uh the bear one, you don't want
to miss out on. I had so much fun just
hiking through the woods. And it felt so
unreal. And once I like got there and
the one of the tour guides came out of
the woods with the shotgun, I just like
realized, wait, there's like a level of
danger here. And when we found out we
were hiking just like off path, like
just through the woods, they have their
own private little like docks there. I
was like, "Wow, this is cool." But I
mean, the brown bears there have so much
to eat. They literally have so much food
that they're just like walking around. I
mean, we got to see three bears in
total. And uh one time we just watched
this one bear walk from from basically
the start of the creek all the way to
the end. And he must have gotten like 20
salmon. Literally just nope. And I was
like, "Wow, this is so amazing." At one
point they were like 12 maybe 15 feet
away from us and he just was living life
snacking on all the salmon and we were
really quiet. I didn't want to film a
lot of it. I was being very, you know,
cordious of the surroundings and seeing
the bald eagles. I mean, wow. You
couldn't have asked for a better
excursion. And then, of course, I
definitely recommend the glacier viewing
uh adult uh uh uplose tour. The adult
one comes with the glacerita, and you
don't have to pay extra for it. I do
think it's on the family one, but uh
it's not included, and uh it's a little
bit quieter when there's no kids on the
boat. And it was just cool being able to
touch the ice and talking to the
bartender how like they literally go out
and pick up ice straight from the water,
bring it on the boat, break it up, and
then put it in the cup and pour the
margarita like and you're drinking
thousand-year-old ice. It was such a
cool experience. I mean, honestly, I
have nothing great but great things to
say about Alaska and cruising through
there. I do have to say we're probably a
little biased because we got the best
weather. Well, the only one day we had a
day at sea and it poured all day.
Literally sun up to sun down and the uh
you couldn't even see any of the
mountains as we were getting to Alaska
cuz it was so foggy out. So, uh that day
I didn't film anything. I just jumped
right into the the glacier viewing,
which I'm glad I did. Oh, overall, like
I said, it was such a memorable vacation
and I'm happy that I got to make a video
and share all of my experiences with
you. You let me know though in the
comments which, you know, excursion do
you think was the best or the funnest.
And uh I hope you enjoyed the video
because I enjoyed making it. And uh
we'll see you next time. Bye. Okay.
