Thirteen nights. One table. One extraordinary Disney Cruise Line server. From speedy dinners and mountains of desserts to a very special sundae spoon, JR made Table 108 our happy place aboard the Disney Dream. Sometimes the best Disney magic comes from the smallest gestures.
65 Desserts. 13 Nights.
I ate 65 desserts during our 13-night Disney Dream cruise. Yes, SIXTY-SIX! From magnificent crème brûlée and unforgettable sundaes to desserts that tasted like sunscreen, I'm sharing the delicious, the disappointing, and everything in between. And I would absolutely do it again.
