A Luke Lynch Story
Disney Cruise Adventures: Fantasy on the Fantasy
Prologue
NOTE: The following story is a work of fiction based on true events. I did sail on the Disney Fantasy recently, and I won the hearts of quite a few entertainers, Ariel and Belle foremost among those that could speak, as those of you who looked at my photo album from the trip will know. That said, the sequence of events of which you are soon to read is entirely fictional; ripped from my sick mind over the course of three nights. I was never in danger of any kind, although I did get worried during a storm on Pirate Wednesday night.[/NOTE]
A week of wonder, magic, and the kind of happenings that one simply never forgets. Disaster giving way to triumph, catastrophe metamorphosing into the stuff of fantasy-Oh, and getting to kiss a pair of princesses. That's very important.
But I'm getting ahead of myself. Let me start at the beginning.
My name is Luke Lynch, and I am a 10-year-old boy trapped in a 23-year-old body. I am a total geek-some would even say dork-but I have a good heart, or so many of my friends say. I'm about 5'11" and have dark hair, a pudgy build, brown eyes that some say are akin to root beer, and a very boyish face. Mom says that when I shave, I still look like a preteen. (She's not entirely wrong, either.)
I haven't exactly taken the best care of my body throughout my life, but I'm still alive and with all my teeth, so I must be doing something right. I can be very impulsive at times, and common sense is a foreign concept to me. I wish that were not the case, but not much I can do about it.
On the 9th of November 2013, I departed with my family from Boston for Port Canaveral, Florida, where the Disney Fantasy was docked. Think of it as a Disney-fied Titanic. We boarded the ship with no troubles and before we knew it, off we were sailing deep into the Caribbean. The first three days were spent meeting characters galore and partaking of some of the most wonderful food I have ever experienced. In between all this, we managed to visit the tourist-y parts of two islands: Grand Cayman and Costa Maya.
On Wednesday-Pirate Wednesday-we made port at the island of Cozumel. About all that happened there is I went to a Hooters for the first time. Food was good and the waitresses were definitely in the eye-candy category. Didn't eat much-just a quesadilla-but I enjoyed it quite a bit.
That night, after a pirate-themed celebration on Deck 11 which included fireworks, I went down to Deck 4 for my nightly karaoke stand. It was after that that my troubles began.
