You’re Invited On A Relaxing Getaway

A Relaxing Getaway On A Working Colorado Dude Ranch

What is the purpose of your vacation? Is it to sit on an overcrowded beach, pay a small fortune for tickets to an amusement park, and snap a few photos to post online? Or is the point of a getaway to refresh yourself and come home feeling renewed and invigorated?

More and more people are figuring out that the best way to relax is to take on a new challenge. That’s why our working ranch vacations – ones that let visitors live the cowboy lifestyle for a week at a time – are gaining in popularity!

Why would you want to spend your precious time off moving cattle or feeding horses? Here are a few things you might want to consider…

Not All Work is “Work”

Working on a Colorado dude ranch isn’t like putting in time at an office or taking care of clients. Instead, you’ll get to do fun “work”! These are things like attending to cattle, learning basic veterinary care for horses, and tending to grasslands that are being preserved. None of these would really qualify as “work” in the way most of us have become used to. There’s no daily grind, or pressure to meet someone else’s expectations, just the self-satisfaction of doing something physically demanding or learning a new skill!

The time you spend “working” on a dude ranch is like hours you would put into a recreational sports league or another hobby. You might be working towards a goal, but you’re doing it for personal enjoyment!

Activity Can Lead to Restoration

We’ll let you in on a little secret: spending a week “relaxing” on a beach isn’t always the best way to unwind. It typically takes the average vacationer three or four days just to stop thinking about the things they were obsessed about when they left home. And the minor aggravations of being at a tourist trap (not to mention sunburns, long lines, and high prices) can really put a damper on your great mood.

On the other hand, staying active and working with nature immediately takes you out of your existing frame of mind. It points your brain in a new direction, which is both stress-relieving and great for your sense of perspective. In this way, being “busy” with the right things can be more restorative than sitting around and drinking sugary drinks.

You’ll Have Unique Experiences

The other great thing about staying active on a Colorado dude ranch is that you’ll build skills and memories that will last a lifetime. While theme parks and resorts can be great, they all tend to be very similar. If you’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all.

On a Colorado ranch, every day is different. The weather, the people, and the challenges of working with animals and nature all come together to give you a sense of adventure and unpredictability. You won’t get tired of “working” with us because there is always something new to try and explore!

Slow Down, Saddle Up!

Step into our Western Lifestyle and have a vacation full of adventure. Share quality time with family and friends. Unplug from a hectic world, relax, refresh and enjoy the peaceful grandeur of the environment we are privileged to share with our guests each and every day.

You won’t regret the decision to join us and step back to a “simpler time” experiencing a taste of the old west and that will bring out the cowboy and cowgirl in us all!

Disney Cruise Line Announces Inaugural Sailings to New Island Destination, Family Vacations Around the World in Summer 2024

Disney Cruise Line announced today the inaugural dates and select itineraries for its new island destination in The Bahamas, headlining a season full of new and guest-favorite itineraries around the world in summer 2024. Along with the first sailings to Lighthouse Point, families will be able to choose magical vacations to bucket-list destinations that include the Mediterranean, northern Europe, Alaska and the Caribbean. Bookings open to the public on March 30, 2023.

First Sailings to Lighthouse Point

In June 2024, Disney Cruise Line will debut its newest Bahamian destination on the island of Eleuthera at Lighthouse Point. Guests sailing aboard the Disney Magic from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, will discover a vibrant beach retreat designed with families in mind, infused with the color and energy of Bahamian artistry, and developed with a commitment to conservation at its core.

A seven-night inaugural sailing aboard the Disney Fantasy from Port Canaveral, Florida, on June 8 will allow guests to be among the first to make a splash in the crystal-clear waters of this new destination at Lighthouse Point. This ultimate Disney Cruise Line Island destination itinerary will feature two stops at Lighthouse Point and one day at Castaway Cay. On June 6, a three-night preview cruise on the Disney Magic from Fort Lauderdale will offer a sneak peek of Lighthouse Point with limited access to some areas.

Following the inaugural voyage, Lighthouse Point will be a featured port of call on select three-, four- and five-night sailings to The Bahamas and Caribbean on the Disney Magic out of Fort Lauderdale. These itineraries will vary between Lighthouse Point and Castaway Cay, with five special departures including both Disney Cruise Line Island destinations.

New European Destinations

Dreams will come to life for Disney Cruise Line guests in summer 2024 as the Disney Dream returns to premier European destinations in the Mediterranean, Greek Isles, British Isles and popular locales in the Norwegian Fjords and Iceland.

These sailings will feature several new ports of call, including Valencia, Spain; Haugesund, Norway; and Hamburg, Germany, along with three Mediterranean destinations that will return for the first time since 2014: Catania, Italy; Kusadasi, Turkey; and Valletta, Malta.

Mediterranean and Greek Isles cruises from Barcelona and Civitavecchia (Rome) will range from five to 11 nights, while northern Europe and British Isles sailings will offer itineraries anywhere from three nights to one 12-night voyage that includes the Norwegian fjords, three days in Iceland and an overnight stay in Reykjavik.

Adventures in Alaska

Cruises to Alaska from Vancouver, Canada, will return on the Disney Wonder from May through September 2024, offering more chances for families to experience the natural splendor and adventure of “The Last Frontier” with five-, seven- and nine-night sailings. Majestic wildlife and stunning scenery in iconic places like Juneau, Skagway, Ketchikan and glacier viewing along the Stikine Icecap will blend with Disney’s world-class entertainment, dining and guest service to create a family-friendly vacation that celebrates the spirit of Alaska both on land and on board.

Tropical Escapes to The Bahamas and Caribbean from Port Canaveral

The Disney Fantasy and Disney Wish will travel to sun-kissed islands throughout The Bahamas and Caribbean in summer 2024. All sailings on these Port Canaveral-based ships will feature a visit to Castaway Cay, a picturesque private island oasis in The Bahamas that offers something for everyone in the family, from fun and relaxation to adventurous water activities.

The Disney Wish will feature three- and four-night Bahamian vacations, while the Disney Fantasy will sail to popular ports in the eastern and western Caribbean on seven-night cruises. One five-night Disney Fantasy voyage in July will take families to Nassau with two stops in Castaway Cay, while a special 10-night southern Caribbean sailing will give families another opportunity to visit Lighthouse Point with additional visits to the islands of Antigua, St. Lucia, Dominica, Tortola and Castaway Cay.
