Disney Cruise Line to Skagway, Juneau, and Ketchikan
Seven days up the Inside Passage on the Disney line, with the kids handed back to childhood the whole way. Between character breakfasts and the pool we watched a tidewater glacier calve into the ice we were sailing through. Ketchikan gave us bears on the salmon creek, Juneau gave us Mendenhall and Nugget Falls in the rain, and Skagway put us on the old White Pass railway climbing toward the Yukon.
The characters dressed for Alaska too.
