@Feddersticks My favorite! It was amazing! Here are a few photos. The service was excellent, and the food innovative and delicious.

@MyVirtualVaca Were you able to experience knife and spoon?

Disney Wilderness Lodge as of today is in my top three for December 2026 residency. I will be making my final decision in February. Going back and forth with a few resorts. Ritz-Carlton and Four Seasons are my top two choices. Wilderness is my third as of today. It’s actually a beautiful place. If you have stayed. What are the negatives of the wilderness lodge? #disneyworld #disney #disneyvacation

@Feddersticks It was a quick ride to Disney World! They can arrange transportation or have complimentary coach buses to the parks (really nice!) You can’t go wrong wherever you stay - it’s magical. 🌹 Let me know if you have any Ritz questions! Happy New Year to you and your family!

Wow. This is so beautiful. I'm thinking about staying at the Ritz for my residency next December. It's not that far from Disney World. Only ten miles when I called the concierge. And they do have a luxury car service to bring us to the parks if needed. Ritz-Carlton is on my top three list for my residency, which I will fully purchase in February. I just need a little more time to decide. The Four Seasons, Ritz, and the Disney property offerings make it so difficult to decide on one property, especially for Christmas. Thank you for sharing this pictorial. Happy New Year to you and your entourage. Cheers to 2026 and celebrity cruise life. And all around a peaceful life for you and your family.

The 77-day cruise and land adventures were the highlight of 2025. What a year of exploration and I still had a few surprises during those 77 days with unplanned visits to Disney parks in Hong Kong, Japan, and Universal Japan. 🎢📿✝️🛳️

Sailing into the final day of 2025. ✨ 🚢 As we end the year, PortMiami is grateful for our partners, passengers and cruise and cargo community who have made 2025 a strong one. Cheers to a new year! 🎉

I can’t stand the cuteness of these #DisneySprings desserts! 🌹They were so delicious with decadent flavors. Tip! They surprisingly didn’t break the bank either. #WDW #DisneyWorld #Orlando #amorettespatisserie

Back from a fabulous visit to the #RitzCarltonOrlando and #JWMarriottOrlando in #GrandeLakes, it was dressed beautifully for the holidays! 💖 From gingerbread houses, to stunning Christmas trees around the property…even a hot chocolate bar waiting for me in the lobby. 😍

@Feddersticks @YouTube A great year for Celebrity Cruise-ing! 💙🧡 So sad I don’t have another booked sooner!

I miss my celebrity cruises life. Some of the best moments of my life. @MyVirtualVaca

@Feddersticks I agree 💯%!!!

@Feddersticks That sounds wonderful!!!

The more im in contact with the Four Seasons advance team and all the information and enjoyment of the videos. And I already love all the restaurants. Love the service and the feeling of being prioritized I will be just like on a cruise. I will feel this at the Four Seasons. The amenities at the resort will be amazing when I’m on property. I will have a resort day to enjoy the Four Seasons amenities. And the food will be amazing. The price is normal from what I’m used to at $1000 a night. So I believe I won’t even look at any more hotels. I like that the Disney theming is minimal. And the resort is very peaceful. I will have plenty of Disney theming when I’m at the park. And it’s nice heading back to a resort that feels like my house without over the top Disney theming. And four seasons checks the boxes for me. @MyVirtualVaca

@Feddersticks You can’t go wrong at any of the properties! You are there for a while - you should plan to walk through and visit them all! I would check out Instagram to see what they have this year. The Four Seasons looks gorgeous!

I can't decide on my Disney World residency for Christmas @MyVirtualVaca I want the most Christmas decorations hotel at the parks. Boardwalk INN, yacht club, Grand Floridian, and Four Seasons all have great decorations. I love Four Seasons but they lack in over the top decorations compared with the actual Disney resort hotels. But will see. I like the quiet luxury of the Four Seasons. But might stay at a Disney property hotel but will see I’m still doing research daily before committing. December 2026 is when I will be in Florida for 30 days. But my default will always be Four Seasons. Which place did you stay at during your visit? @MyVirtualVaca

@Feddersticks Awww, so sad to hear that he had to leave early, but glad he had that flexibility and that he was so good to you! We enjoyed him too. Now I’m curious who our butler will be on our next cruise!

Your butler Godfrey and I were supposed to give you a shoutout @MyVirtualVaca video unfortunately he left the ship unexpectedly in Singapore and I didn't find out until later on that he had a private matter to deal with and would meet up with the ship later on this year. If not for that we would have conducted the shoutout. At least I was able to get a photo with him for you. I loved how it wasn't even planned that we would be on the same ship. Godfrey is ok. But someone in his family needed him in Singapore so he was granted a temporary work release and now he is back on board. Butler's life is busy. And if he were my personal butler im sure we would have had the video shout out immediately instead of scheduling it. It's all good though. He was still gracious with his time even though he wasn't my assigned butler.

@Feddersticks I’m soooo happy for you!! It would be a dream to be on a cruise ship as long as you have. Lots of memories to take home with you!!

This cruise life has been the most heavily emotionally charged trip of my life. And I can't believe it went by so fast. I'm still trying to process my experiences. It all feels like a dream. And the people along the way my goodness have all been so kind and I wish I could take them all home with me. It's going to be very sad when it's over—an emptiness because the daily routine of adventure is over. And we have been so blessed with silky smooth adventures. And then the crew and guests gave me goodbye letters 😭😭😭 Cruise life is the best.

Diary from a letter I received from a lady I met on my cruise life before she had to disembark back in Singapore. 👇🏻 “When the sunsets. That will be the last sunset of our cruise life. But I will see you again. This isn't when it ends. I will carry you with me stitched into the fabric of my heart. We will always remember the experiences we had where the water meets the sky. When my heart starts to break I will hold on and remember I will see you again. This isn’t where it ends. With each passing day, we will be back on a cruise ship again to continue the best chapter of our lives. This isn’t the end of our movie. Just the intermission. Until we meet again. Said goodbye, turned around, and you were gone. Cruise life diaries. Cruise life hits different than any other experience because you get really close with everyone—even the best land-based resorts like the Four Seasons or Ritz-Carlton. You can’t get that emotion with your fellow guests because you don’t have the same opportunities to just bond on the ship together. Four seasons and any luxury resort will have some special camaraderie with fellow guests. But not at the deep level of cruise life. @MyVirtualVaca

@Feddersticks Yes! It’s great that the suite areas are closer together on the newer shops. It’s a completely different experience! But both are amazing. 🤩

Walking up to the exclusive keycard access suite life retreat ⁦@MyVirtualVaca⁩ I understand that on newer ships I won’t have to walk as far to the retreat. It’s all closer together on the newer ships especially depending on the suite category as well.

@carollivestoeat @realfoodtravel @Adventuringgal @ChrisPappinMCC @ourtastytravels A1 I always love the cookies at the #DoubleTree hotels! 🍪#FoodTravelChat

Q1: What are some of the best cookies you've had when traveling? A1: I always come home from France with macarons from Ladurée! #FoodTravelChat

@Feddersticks Thank you, Jeffrey! It was a fun-filled day, but sadly our Ravens lost. 💜 Still a fan though and hopeful they’ll redeem themselves! I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving too - where ever you may be at sea!!

Good luck to your ravens @MyVirtualVaca light up the purple mood lighting in the home theater. 🦃 🏈 and happy thanksgiving to you and your family.
