Disney Wonder Day 3: Tracy Arm Alaska

Absolutely perfect day. 
However (and there is always a however), when you have 2 rambunctious little boys, telling them to sit and watch ice that moves at about 0.00003 miles per hour is a difficult sell. 
The humpback dance is your chance to do the hump.
So beautiful.  I must admit I felt a little guilty travelling through this pristine, uninhabited wilderness on a giant children's party hotel.
Actual sunshine, not liquid sunshine.
I call this, the thin sun line.
Waterfall after waterfall from the glaciers down to the fjord.
He bought a bucket of beers to watch ice move... while wearing a pretentious scarf.  This is what you do on an Alaskan cruise.
Dude, where's the glacier?
Something that surprised me is how green the water was.  I expected it to be muddy or bright blue, but the glacial silt makes it green.
Couldn't have asked for a better day to view a glacier.
Even the little ice bergs were Disney-esque.
Blue ice.
Although we didn't see any orca the whole trip, there was an iceberg glacier that I'm pretty sure was commissioned by the people at Disney to provide a perfect photo.
Just a few dudes watching a glacier.
I loved the composition of this photo and how now that the boat is turning, all of the cabin residents have retreated back into the belly of the ship to stumble up to the buffet and return to stuffing themselves full of salmon and mickey bars.
Goodbye Tracy Arm.
