He’s blogged it, now he’s back to talk it—Alex (aka “Second Dad to the Right”) joins us for a fun and frank trip report from his family’s latest sailing aboard the Disney Dream, featuring a first-time visit to Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point and a whole lot of comparisons along the way. ✍️️ Alex breaks down everything from spa strategies to splash zones and tells us: • Why his toddler now rocks a Castaway Cay 5K medal (while napping) • Why Lookout ＞ Castaway when traveling with littles • How his kids pulled off a stealth bus boarding in Fort Lauderdale • And what happened when he accidentally took a pen from Remy (spoiler: not just any pen) We’re also talking dining service vibes, navigating three kids in three different clubs, and whether the Disney “magic” is still holding up on board.
