Juneau Unedited / Whale Watching & Wildlife Quest / Day 5 / Alaskan Disney Cruise / September 2022

I always struggle to edit anything out of my videos. I want to show all of it. The sights. The sounds. What it felt like to be there. I also want the finished vlog to be exciting and interesting. Not boring and not too long.

The finished videos can be shiny. The unedited versions can be rough.

These unedited videos contain all my footage with minimal cuts and no music. (Although I am using the word "unedited," they are 100% edited.) It is all my footage and memories in one place. They are just for me. So I can rest assured nothing goes to waste. It makes every moment important. Because it was.

Welcome to Day 5 of our Alaskan Disney Cruise! Join my family and I on our 7-Night Alaskan Cruise from Vancouver on the Disney Wonder! Thank you so much for watching!

You join us on Friday, September 16, 2022, for a day in Juneau, Alaska! We ate at Cabanas for breakfast, and got ready for our excursion in Juneau! We booked the Whale Watching and Wildlife Quest port adventure, which we were extremely excited about. We met in the Walt Disney Theatre, and then boarded a bus to Auke Bay. It was a 30 minute drive during which we saw many bald eagles, their nests, and Mendenhall Glacier in the distance. Our driver, who went by the name of Bobcat, was incredibly entertaining, intelligent, and funny. He regaled us with many facts and stories about Juneau. He was amazing.

After arriving at the Allen Marine Tours loading dock in Auke Bay, we boarded our double-decker whale watching boat, the St. Yakov. We set out on a 45 minute drive to our whale watching location in the waters of Stephen's Passage. We spent the next 1 hour and 20 minutes seeing 27 whales, a buoy full of sea lions, and many bald eagles. We were immensely lucky to have had perfectly sunny and warm weather! We were also very lucky to have seen the most whales on that boat during that whale watching season! We set the record with 27 whales, wohoo! Whales were literally everywhere surrounding us. I had to decide which group of whales to film and take pictures of! What a thrilling predicament to be in! It was an awesome experience that I would highly, HIGHLY recommend!

After absolutely destroying the whale watching game, we headed back to the dock in Auke Bay, which took another 45 minutes. We boarded the same bus back to our ship, which took about 28 minutes. The total time on our whale watching port adventure, from checking in at the Walt Disney Theatre to getting back on board the Disney Wonder, was 4 hours and 45 minutes.

We got some snacks on Deck 9 and took in the views of sunny Juneau. We saw Frozen, A Musical Spectacular in the Walt Disney Theatre and had dinner at Animator's Palate. A server told us that this was the first day of their whole Alaska cruising season where it had been sunny in Juneau! We were so lucky!

After dinner, we met Goofy in his Alaskan outfit. I went to the Buena Vista Theatre, because I had yet to see the inside, and watched about 10 minutes of Thor: Love and Thunder. We enjoyed the Piano Party in Azure, and then headed up to Deck 10 to try and see a glimpse of the Northern Lights. After giving it our best shot at 1 hour and 15 minutes, we headed back to our cozy stateroom for the night.

Next up, a day in Ketchikan, Alaska!
