Hi, we are Stephen, Jess and little Hunter, a traveling family who spent 2020 self-converting a van before moving in full-time to drive around our home country of Australia. We have now completed our lap, said our goodbyes, and resumed full-time travel before we wait for our second baby to arrive.

Awwww baby Koa tried his best. Hunter knows all characters and had the best time.she is such a happy and brave baby girl.❤❤

[@rchiariello]

Your New Orleans videos were actually how I discovered your channel! I then went back and watched them all from the beginning. It's neat to see how far you both have come. What an incredible journey!

[@flyingthenest]

aww no way!! New Orleans is seriously one of our favourite US cities

[@cathyholt5215]

Awww Hunter you were filled with all the Disney magic your heart could hold. ❤ My daughter & I came into Sydney Harbor last March aboard a different ship at 5am. It was still dark. From our balcony we had the opera house and bridge view. All of the lights glistened. It was stunning. And then the sun rose. I will never forget it!

[@angelamouland8012]

This was such a joyous video. Seeing Hunter so excited meeting all the characters was just so prescious. Thank you for sharing it with us. What incredible family moments you are having.

[@RestorUrPassion]

We flew from America to sail in Australia. I met my daughter in law's grandparents in Brisbane. Saw where she grew up and enjoyed the food. We spent a day in Sydney and Aldo in Melbourne. For me it was all worth it to celebrate my birthday.

[@susantinnion1794]

Watching Hunter grow with confidence in meeting all these characters and watching how brave and excited she is to try new things just makes you smile. Kia is grown no doubt quick, where does the time go xx

[@sarah-phillips]

You've got to love a little one in costume! I'm here for all of Hunter's dresses. The cruise looked so fun especially with all the characters! I used to work as a character at Six Flags parks and interacting with little ones was one of the best parts about it. Just seeing their imaginations working is so sweet.

[@karenkrukowski5566]

So fun to watch Hunter enjoying the characters!!

[@adriannacabrera9013]

Aww thank you so much for sharing this beautiful family journey with us I’m really enjoying your content

[@user-ni5wn1xr4n]

Can you please never stop having kids??!! They joy you both get from these little kid activities is so joyous. God Bless you all and thanks for sharing with us. Can't imagine where Hunter is going to go when grown up!!

[@SMichelle626]

Looked absolutely magical! What awesome memories to look back on!! Wonderful video! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@siiimplyavaa]

aww they are growing up fast, you guys are doing a wonderful job looks so fun!

[@jocee569]

Brilliant video - thanks for sharing the magical experience!

[@heatherrowles9930]

What absolute, glorious chaos all that was!! It is awesome to watch Hunter and Koa develop as little people during these videos. Hunter is becoming so very brave! And Koa, well he is just an adorable little ball of agreeability......such beautiful kids you two have made, and so many magical experiences to look back on as they grow. Im never going to do a Disney cruise, my daughter is nearly 30, that ship has sailed....but Ive loved seeing the magic through the eyes of your children.

[@flyingthenest]

Hehe it’s gonna be great to see how these two dynamics go as they grow up

[@coralgardiner6695]

Love watching your lovely little family from South Africa. Koa is just the most gorgeous little boy and Hunter is a bundle of enthusiasm and energy. You are the most amazing parents !

[@TravelbyDartTV]

That must be heaven for children and child at heart!

[@nicholemiller3744]

I LOVE ❤️ seeing the world though Hunter's eyes! It always fills my heart with so much joy

[@hfs212000]

Was smiling the entire video ❤

[@dianeyoung2914]

Little Koas face when you got up to dance with the pirates lol He was like "what on earth is going on!"

[@sommeraldulaimi2712]

Seeing the magic in hunters eyes in these two videos has just been so sweet!!!

[@avqlixo2614]

I love watching my favorite family youtubers! Love from Singapore!

[@thecluelessconquest]

Absolutely love you guys! Love cruise vlogs the most, theyre so fun! You've inspired us to save up for a disney cruise 😍

[@flyingthenest]

❤️❤️ thanks so much!! Hope you get the opportunity to go on one in the future!!

[@z.a.r.777]

Children and enjoying their trip . They're adorable ❤❤❤

[@rebeccarendle3706]

Another adorable vlog guys. You guys are the best at making Disney vlogs... your story telling and cinematography is next level. You really captivate us and transfer the magic and the excitement (with a lot of help from Hunter) to your audience. Most you tubers Disney cruise vlogs are REALLY dull.. Disney should be paying you the big money or giving you all your cruises free! In exchange for being able to use your vlogs on their site for advertising. You even make me (a 51yr old, mum of big male teenagers, and an average Disney fan, want to go on a cruise!). Thanks for sharing.. Hunter is at a perfect age now (bar the odd nap from exhausion😊) to 99% enjoy the cruise to the full.. seeing her excitement when meeting the characters on this cruise and her confidence to go forward on stage or up front to dance was lovely 😊. Great parenting guys.

[@virginiamoore3607]

Thank you for sharing your journey reminds me of my trip down under

[@rossibrennan5754]

Great video, guys. The kids make it magic

[@lyndamcdougal5335]

Same as our bridge in Newcastle Upon Tyne, always see it as we get home. Love your trip across Australia. Xx❤❤

[@hopeheavenonplanetearth1417]

What a beautiful experience! I am fortunate to have been on many Disney cruises because my family lives in Orlando. How much fun watching your family! Brings back wonderful memories 🙏 PS… I love Australia! I’m so happy to see the Wonder over there.

[@natevaG85]

Aww 🥲 Goofy's very sweet good bye "Love you" at the end brought a tear to my eye. Disney always delivers and with so much heart ❤❤❤

[@flyingthenest]

Hehe goofy the best!!

[@ashleyroy6636]

I absolutely love how you guys film. So magical 💕

[@flyingthenest]

Aww thank you!!

[@unattendedgrandma4073]

I was exhausted just by watching this!

[@lynnecollins3284]

Wow!! What a joyous video. Absolutely loved watching it thru Hunters eyes. What a fabulous fun cruise to go on.

[@christine4670]

Hunter knows how it's done 😄 Baby Koa's learning from the best! Oh my heart🥰

[@flyingthenest]

😂

[@thecommonadventure]

haha I love Hunters excitement for pizza & Koa in the Jack Jack Race is adorable despite not getting anywhere 🤪

[@danielpittijr6283]

Baby Koa fan here!!! This cruise looks fun.

[@traceypotter7669]

Omg Hunter singing Let it Go ❤❤ My daughter was 18m when Frozen came out, and it was her favourite movie of all time, she killed 3 DVDs of Frozen! And when she sang it, all she sang was GO, GO, GO 😂 it was the most precious, especially as she was just as animated as Hunter is here! Two peas in a pod! Also, "see ya Steve" 😂

[@emlizw1]

You are all adorable Pirates! Koa at least you gave it a try!!! Hunter and PIZZA!! Jack Sparrow can you tell Hunter was exhausted! That actor almost looked like the really one! You adventures on this cruse looked like so much FUN!! And the FOOD OMG I want to try all the food. Holy cow those places looked tasty!

[@dibberbats]

I should watch the whole video before commenting ... what a joy to watch! You have captured the magic of DCL and why it is on a different level to other cruise companies. Hunter and Koa are the best.

[@flyingthenest]

Aww we like “live commenting” hehe whilst you watch it

[@mafkrimnra8084]

Omg 😱 you guys , this make me wanna go for Disney Cruise 🚢, 😊

[@db7312]

Nothing beats a FTN x Disney video 💕

[@flyingthenest]

Hehe awwww some of our faves to film 🤍

[@karolmiller6984]

You all had a great time on the cruise.

[@flyingthenest]

Such a fun time!!!

[@jaxmaria]

Fun video..I found myself smiling the whole time. all the cute things the kids did..you are great parents ❤

[@flyingthenest]

Aww you’re so kind thank you

[@justcarry-ontraveldiy8739]

Loved watching your video. Hunter looks so beautiful in her princess dresses!!!😀

[@flyingthenest]

Aww thank you!!

[@aussieragdoll4840]

When you go on a Disney Cruise, you can join in the Fish Extended Gift Exchange if you wish. All the cabins have a fish decoration outside them, and you hang the pockets from them… hence the name ‘Fish Extender’. It is an optional activity. Closer to the cruise, the list of participants will be broken down into groups of 5-10 cabins. You will know the name, age, favourite character, if they are celebrating an event on the cruise (birthday, graduation, honeymoon etc) and if there are any allergies. You can do a cabin gift or individual gifts. I usually do individual gifts, in case there are friends cruising together. In those cases, a cabin gift can be hard to share. If you don’t want to do FE… you can still do Pixie Dusting, where you give (or receive) random gifts from other cruisers in your pockets. BTW, I have the same Pirate ears from Etsy.

[@LifesparkleSEM]

I love all your adventures. I know it's a lot of hard work, but you are a fine example of FAMILY.

[@flyingthenest]

Aww what a lovely comment thank you

[@amberrf]

Hunter in the bathroom was so funny.

[@dibberbats]

So glad that I'm not the only one that gets front/back mixed up, even after lots of cruises ... restaurants are all at the back (aft), WD Theatre is at the front (forward). Really great videos, shows off DCL really well!

[@flyingthenest]

Ooooh this is a great tip!! Haha we still didn’t realise this till you said it

[@olegscorpionrussia]

very very cool !

[@neoanderson726]

oh my when they start clapping and saying " princess in teh house" Hunter gets all teh mor eprincess like walking LOL adorable

[@flyingthenest]

Hehe they hype her up 💅

[@erikagholston6610]

I couldn’t have a bigger smile on my face. Hunter is living a princess dream. Good try Koa on your race.

[@emilyserafamanschot800]

We also came into Sydney Harbor at about 5:00 AM on the Emerald Princess. What a wonderful view!

[@flyingthenest]

Did you wake up?? Such a beautiful way to come in

[@TravelwithTravelarii]

Ahoy! Loved the New Orleans-themed dinner at Tiana's Place! From Cajun cuisine to the beignets, pure magic. The ship's vibes during Pirate Night and the Jack-Jack race made the Disney cruise unforgettable! 🚢

[@flyingthenest]

It seriously was the best restaurant on board!! We LOVED it

[@mrscb5303]

I know it is your “job” but still ..thank you for all the hard work you all do to make these amazing videos. They bring such joy to me. It is a privilege to watch your kids grow and see you all together having adventures!🧡🖤🧡

[@flyingthenest]

Ahh this is so lovely! Thank you 🤍🤍🤍

[@CharmCharlie]

This was so incredibly cute!! Hunter is a rock star!! (My fave had to be Jack Sparrow though!)

[@joshwalker7689]

Both my mum and I are gonna set sail on the Disney Wonder from Auckland right here in NZ on Dec 8th, so looking forward to it!! Hey just wanted to ask you guys what the guitar music was called at 32:56? I play guitar myself and would love to look up the tabs for that one.

[@patchayko721]

Oh my gosh, i don't have any kids but I would love to do a Disney cruise. Hunter had so much fun❤

[@marnievanb6603]

I need those pirate Mickey ears! 😍

[@flyingthenest]

So good right?

[@vickie3272]

Oooh God I pray and hope to do this with my family , me dada , my sister's and the kids , at Disney land Australia ❤

[@vickie3272]

Awwwh Vickie you will

[@CaptainRedBeard90]

The Ovation of the Seas is considered a large size ship. Coming in at 1,138 feet long and 136 feet wide, it's roughly the length of 3.2 football fields, as wide as 2.6 tractor-trailers and the same height as a 14-story building. Compared to the Disney Wonder, the Ovation of the Seas is 101% larger in terms of overall tons.

[@beautyallaroundme724]

I can't imagine having such great parents. Your kids are so lucky.

[@flyingthenest]

Nawww 😭

[@ahnessa]

I would love to have seen hunters reaction to the captain jack clip 😂😂😂😂

[@sarahkelly2293]

Jess will be me as a disney mum...nearly more excited than the kids 😂

[@flyingthenest]

[@gwynethglas-brown9171]

[@yorukkizigeziyor]

Very beautiful 😊

[@fr33dButt3rfly]

[@JustaWatcheronYTube]

Can you also do a cruise review of 'Icon of the Sea' pls?

[@donnanicoll1036]

Looks like a fantastic trip to do with your kids. A bit expensive however.

[@nicolemoehling1353]

Will we see a video of you guys on icon of the seas

[@missmelissamurray]

Where is the captains hat from?

[@hannahtucker2734]

Looks like the little guy trying to stand up when his trying the crawl

[@pamelagordon869]

Hunter is so like jess ❤❤❤

[@KarolineQuadros]

Have you guys ever been to brazil in south america? btw I love your videos

[@flyingthenest]

We haven’t!! Need to one day!

[@vagmimangraj]

Also mention price . Of each activity or food you buy or gifts.

[@GoForLaunchVideos]

There will never be anything like your first Disney Cruise in Australian Waters 🥹🥰

[@flyingthenest]

Aww hope you guys enjoyed the little series!! It was so fun to watch your videos before we went on board

[@doinaenescu9993]

I hope that all the staff get a generous bonus . So much noise, so many children, a huge mass, all those dirty carpets..

[@DuckTheLost]

I'm a bit curious where did koa as a name come from?

[@vickie3272]

Ooooh my God I pray and hope that we are going to give this experience to our kids .me and dada

[@gabriellahujbert6600]

Hunter's sleep while Jack Sparrow was there 😀😀💖🙈

[@flyingthenest]

😂😂

[@doinaenescu9993]

Your family is a poem.You are so beautifull inside and outside, so natural. I am so happy with you into my life. Papanasi

[@markheying2830]

Dream Big Princess Hunter!

[@norinmerchant4129]

One of my nephews was just born, I think I am going to steal him just so I can go on a Disney Cruise🤣

[@lilliemae18]

So, i dont have children but i DO have myself. Can i meet characters and dance with characters like the kids or do i have to act my age?

[@audreylarson1830]

I'd LOVE to do a cruise. Maybe one day. My fianće and I are both 26 and would love to do a Disney cruise together, but we don't have any kids. Would it be odd? We've been together 5 years and we like travel. We've visited Brisbane, Cairns, Melbourne, New Zealand, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia together so far and next year we're going to Japan to see a Disney Land for the first time. 💖

[@kommireddyrasagna801]

how come no one is talking about Steve's wallpaper that is adorableeeeeeeeeeee

[@flyingthenest]

❤️❤️

[@nicoleziegler6112]

Not sure I could take that for 5 days! Lol

[@janinebell763]

i think that Koa is going to go to start walking.

[@maisie9867]

Are you on icon of the seas?

[@lynmcnorton9627]

I have to disagree with you I have sailed into Venice a few time and believe me it amazing 🤩

[@flyingthenest]

Oh wow actually that does sound amazing

[@Andaer11]

Where will Koa walk …. 🤔 Peru , South Africa ?

[@flyingthenest]

Hehe these are all great suggestions! Hunter was 13ish months but everyone is different

[@gmdaskham]

Biggest cruise ship into the harbour ever? Wrong. Sorry. Ovation of the Seas is by far bigger. When Ovation is in town the Disney ships get punted to White Bay as they’re a lot smaller and fit under the bridge.

[@trishamitra168]

Hunter opera performance best❤❤ and cute baby koya pirate🎉🎉🎉

[@claudetteedwards4115]

The highlight for me was Hunter singing at the Opera House 😅😅 She is going to kill you guys for filming that when shes a terrible teen 😂😂 ❤ Awesome video guys. As always ❤

[@flyingthenest]

Awww it’s such a sweet memory! Her little personality summed up in one clip 🤍

[@aussieragdoll4840]

The Wonder is nowhere near ‘the biggest ship to come into Sydney Harbour’. If it was, it wouldn’t fit under the bridge… which it does at low tide. Larger cruise ships cannot fit under the bridge, even at low tide. The Cunard vessels are far larger than the Wonder. I was on the 6 night cruise between Sydney & Noumea and back. We departed from the Overseas Passenger Terminal at the quay, but we returned at the White Bay Cruise Terminal.

[@brittanywoods28]

Pretty sure Ovation of the Seas is the biggest one that docks in Sydney, it was when I went on it in 2019 anyway.
