Just had the most incredible 5 days aboard #DisneyMagicatSea during Disney Cruise Line’s inaugural season in Australia 🚢
Our time was a whirlwind of Mickey waffles, epic fireworks, waterslide fun, all the ice cream, incredible Broadway-style shows, meeting some of our favourite characters, and non-stop dance parties!
It honestly was one of the best cruise experiences we have ever had and it was all because of Hunter’s excitement and enthusiasm towards all the characters, her cheers and squeals brought smiles and tears to our faces as she had quite possibly the best week of her entire life.
From meeting Captain Mickey and the gang to playing duck duck goose with her favourite Disney Princess, Rapunzel, to dancing the night away with Tiana, there are just so many memories, it’s hard to put words to paper.

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.

[@flyingthenest]

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!! Welcome back to travel as we head out on our first 2024 series! It's so incredible that Disney have brought their cruise ships down under for the very first time :)!!

[@TravelwithTravelarii]

Happy New Year @flyingthenest ❤Amazing Disney cruise experience! Loved seeing Disney Magic in Australia.Looking forward to your next travel video.

[@AdventuresinMillerland]

So fun seeing our favorite Disney ship in Australia! Thanks for sharing your experience! We’re so excited to sail on her again 😎

[@jamesparsons8477]

Thank you happy belated new year

[@hufjournallife7218]

Happy new year and Singapore Disney cruise arrived and take u around SEA next year

[@OziJo1]

My heart is full for Hunter’s first DIsney Show stage appearance ❤️

[@flyingthenest]

Hehe us too!! First ever theatre production 😂

[@carjacklane3930]

I wonder if its like at school productions wbere cant see audience to help not be scared. Shes so good on camera a natural performer, its cute she got up on toes at end wasnt sure what to do, lityle longer she been right i think🎉

[@UnicornMakeup]

Hunter meeting the princesses made me cry! That was so pure and sweet! 🥹✨💖

[@patchayko721]

I have been smiling all the way through this video and now my face hurts . The kids are really enjoying their adventurous parents choices for travel. ❤❤❤

[@flyingthenest]

Aww you’re the best Pat thank you!!

[@rebeccarendle3706]

HNY Guys.. (I know I'm exhausted from a long day at work after only 5.5 hrs sleep... but...)..I kept turning on the water works when Hunter was meeting the Princesses and when she went on stage.. and I am not really a Disney fan and don't have a daughter (I have two sons). But Hunter was SO ADORABLE throughout the whole vlog.. it was lovely to watch. Thank you for sharing this so we could see the magic through her eyes 🙂.

[@flyingthenest]

Aww thank you!! So sorry work was so long

[@kapsmuma]

Could not stop smiling watching this video. Little Hunter getting excited over everything she see’s, it’s beautiful when the little ones get excited like that. And little Koa just taking it all in. Thank you Jess and Steve for sharing your adventures with us all.

[@Bristolian-girl]

Aww. Both the kids loved it. Love that both of your kids are a mixture of you both. Hunter resembling Jess and Koa almost being a carbon copy of Stephen. 😁

[@OziJo1]

What a delight! Love the Koa Crawl Cam! And Hunter at the best age!

[@flyingthenest]

Hehe we tried 😂 he ate it

[@angelamouland8012]

This video brought me so much joy. Hunter has grown up so much from the Disney videos when she used to be scared of Disney characters and didn't want to say hello to the Princesses. It brought a ear to my eye seeing her up on the stage. What a special cruise this is for you all.

[@fr33dButt3rfly]

Aw Hunter making me all teary! 🥹 such a beautiful vid guys. Thanks so much for letting us watch her grow up into the most special little human!

[@skpettit1]

Oh my goodness Hunter’s face on stage as a dwarf - adorable ☺️

[@pamelagordon869]

Can't believe how quick koa is growing ❤❤❤

[@flyingthenest]

I know!!! He’s 10 months now 😭

[@pamelagordon869]

Goodness 10 month's already hunter is loving the cruise she's just at the right age to enjoy it

[@ainsliethomas3879]

Omg as a mom of a 2.5 year old girl who loves princesses like Hunter I couldn’t stop my tears flowing seeing her joy. Disney magic is real. Hunter is such a gem. I hope she never loses that magic.

[@Emilie_AgresteTiktokYT]

This is so wholesome! Seeing Hunter playing on the ship and little Koa just following along is too cute❤

[@GoForLaunchVideos]

Came for the FTN Cruise Content and stayed for Hunter's reactions to everything (especially the chocolate) 😂 Incredible video guys, making us miss it even more!!!

[@flyingthenest]

Ahhhh thanks guys!!!

[@LadyMass]

Thanks to @goforlaunchvideos for helping us get prepped for our Disney Cruise and to FTN for helping us relive the magic!

[@GoForLaunchVideos]

@@LadyMass happy we were able to help you get prepped and we hope you had an amazing cruise!! 🥰

[@cornishmummyof4ukt229]

That’s so magical, you’re giving your kids the best childhood. Hunter is wise beyond her years ❤

[@Shift0231]

‘The Happiest Place on Earth!’ Hunter’s excitement, laughter and smile says it all! 🥰🌈

[@charleneburcham5078]

With my children grown and no grandchildren in sight it is wonderful to see your family trips and remind me of all the great trips I had with my children! Enjoy every moment

[@jjoou]

Stephen your editing skills when it comes to these types of travel adventures is just next level. The music and shots and all that work truly pays off! Of course that the kids are incredibly cute helps too haha ;)

[@natalierice6528]

Good grief, I'm crying like I'm their own proud Nana. What a fun cruise.

[@flyingthenest]

Naww thanks Natalie!!

[@vickie3272]

From the Disney cruise ship to the jammies to the kids knowing all the princesses, I want all that ❤

[@SofiesSpectrum]

These are absolutely core memories for Hunter x

[@NewFoundLands]

Princess Peach! Welcome back Chris! ❤

[@jenhunt2314]

I lost my 15 year old son in 2015 suddenly due to a genetic heart disease he inherited from me. I had taken him to Disney world in his younger years, but never got the chance to fulfill a dream of taking him on a Disney cruise (specifically this ship….it came out the year he was born). Watching your baby girl, Hunter’s, pure joy allowed me to have a moment imagining what it would have been like with my sweet boy, Hunter. Yes, they share the same name. I cried your entire video, but worth a smile on my face. These moments are priceless, moments that should never be forgotten. Happy New Year to you and your beautiful family.

[@richiedelgiudice1429]

Made me emotional when Hunter meets all the princesses.😊😚🥲and Koa is so cute 😘😍

[@MultiCorker]

The resemblance between Koa and Steve vs Hunter and Jess is remarkable. Mini Steve and Jess.

[@DannyA3579]

I worked for a different cruise line out of Sydney and I still say that the sunrises / sunsets over the Pacific are some of the most beautiful I’ve ever seen in my life. Disney has such a great cruising product for families with young children.

[@Mrswoo42]

Just saw Koa crawling and immediately thought of the baby race they have onboard most Disney cruises!

[@flyingthenest]

hehe wait for part 2 on Sunday ;-)

[@jessicavaughan-williams6682]

Loved watching this. We went on the cruise from Auckland to Brisbane and it was just the most magical time. I did not want to leave

[@alisaherrick1298]

Went on the disney wonder when i was 11 (2001) with my best friend and her parents. Took my babies (9 and 1) in 2022. Epic. Brought her with me and my babes and husband. Decades of memories. Yay Disney

[@meritlindis]

Love seeing Disney Cruise Line setting sail in Australia!!! So much fun :)

[@sofrito7914]

Hunter sleeping through the Marvel meet and greet is such a vibe. 😂 this is awesome! So cool!

[@windsongdesigns6655]

I am almost 60 years old and I want to go on that cruise. I hope Hunter will remember some of the cruise and if not, she has great videos to look back on. Happy New Years from Canada.

[@Mel.H_]

Love this! Thank you for sharing your lovely family with us❤❤❤

[@Annejali]

Koa is looking so much like Steve and seeing him crawl melted my heart 💘 watching Hunter grow up through this channel has been really special, she is so special and intelligent ❤️‍🔥

[@valeriederrick2352]

What fun@@It's so much fun to see Hunter enjoying everything so much!

[@MrSoBitchy]

A cruise ship is such a dream!

[@flyingthenest]

Some would say a Disney Dream?

[@melaniegriner1751]

Oh wow!!! I just pulled my scrapbook out after wondering if that was the same ship my family was on in 2005 out of Port Canaveral 🎉 and it was !!! I recognized the room layout but had forgotten the name. So cool that it’s in Australia 🇦🇺

[@annisanegara5399]

17:26 it took me quite long enough to realize that is Hunter 😂

[@lynnecollins3284]

This video was so magical to see it thru Hunters eyes. Seeing Koa begin crawling. Just the whole video was fabulous. thank you for sharing.

[@christarista1980]

Your videos are always such a delight!

[@gracebishop5151]

Wow this was amazing! Love the happiness and joy from hunter and Koa! ❤ and all the yummy food you are eating

[@vickiesandover5738]

Lovely, I was sobbing. Happy New Year to you all. ❤😊

[@MrsNewfiefan]

Sweetest vlog ever. Brought back memories of my littles. The magic is so real at that age and it is precious.

[@kdnc.0f7]

I was smiling the whole time watching this video. Hunter is so precious 🥰

[@homefries5557]

Sooo awesome!! Adorable 🥰

[@andreaarmstrong7543]

How magical watching this through Hunters and Mum and Dad's eyes. One of the best Disney vlogs I have watched. Can't wait for part 2. Thank you for sharing. Love from New Zealand 🥰

[@CoaTravelNut]

Disney Cruises are so much fun!

[@chanteldafonseca835]

Love the matching pjs guys! Looks like you all had the best time. Very cool that they make merchandise with Australian theme. Looking forward to Part 2!

[@adriannacabrera9013]

Aww thank you so much for sharing this beautiful family journey with us

[@flyingthenest]

Thanks for joining us!! There’s a part 2 on Sunday 😊

[@envisionwewew2270]

I went on the Disney cruise too in September 2005 a long time ago back in the day. One of the great things about the cruise was that I was next door to my cousin and my aunt and my uncle. I found this out when i went outside to the small balcony of our room on the cruise and look left and my aunt and uncle and cousin were right next door to us. I also saw my cousin having ice cream on the deck one time on the cruise when I was walking around the deck with my mother. I also did the Mickey pool for kids back in the day that was where I went swimming since I was a kid at that time. I did a splash contest with two girls on the cruise one night and the mickey pool had two ears one for older kids like me and one for the younger kids who were not potty trained yet. I also did go to Animator Pallet on the cruise that was where I had dinner with my parents on the cruise. I would eat ice cream the from the kids menu on the cruise back in the day.One night I got a brownie and vanilla ice cream to share with my parents one night on the cruise from the kids menu at Animator Pallet. My mother had the brownie since I could not eat it since I could not have gluten yet at the time of the cruise and my dad could not eat it either since he could not eat Chocolate so me and my dad had the ice cream.

[@Lovelifeandtravel]

Great video as always ❤ love 🎉seeing Hunter enjoy the magic and wonder of Disney.
