Our spring break trip was just what we needed this year! Lots of family time away and NO distractions - no cell phone, no emails, and no computers! :) Every day was truly 'magical', and even now, three months after our return, the kids still ask when we're going 'on the Disney boat' again! I could go on and on about how much fun we had, but instead, I'll let the photos show you!
 |
| The GIGANTIC ship! |
 |
| Waiting in line to enter the terminal...day 1 was probably the roughest day. At this point, we had no idea it would still be almost 5 hours until we boarded the ship! |
 |
| Thankfully, the characters made several visits to the terminal while we waited for our turn to board... |
 |
| We weren't the only ones 'waiting'... |
 |
| Finally on board! After a very late lunch, we headed on deck to enjoy Mickey and the gang's "Welcome Aboard" show! |
 |
| Our first evening's dinner was at the Animator's Palate - a very cool restaurant where Nemo and friends dropped by from time to time! Alexa enjoyed the Mickey Mouse Ice Cream pop for dessert. |
 |
| Brody was soooo excited that the kid's area on board at a Toy Story themed room! |
 |
| Here we are awaiting the start of "The Golden Mickey" - the live theatre performance our first night. |
 |
| The bunk beds in the room were a big hit! |
 |
| Breakfast in the Enchanted Garden before hitting the pool! |
 |
| Alexa got to meet lots of princesses... |
 |
| And Brody could barely contain his excitement when he met both Buzz AND Woody! |
 |
| Of course we could never pass up an opportunity to say hello to Captain Mickey! |
 |
| Or Pluto.... |
 |
| Or anyone else, for that matter! Brody and I actually rode the elevator with Pluto and Peter Pan one evening! |
 |
| Our 2nd night on board was the 'dress up night' and we enjoyed dinner at the Enchanted Garden... |
 |
| The kids loved how the ceiling changed colors as the afternoon turned to evening... |
 |
| Our 3rd day was to be Pirate Day, so in preparation, we hit the gift shop after dinner! :) |
 |
| Alexa was so excited to have her hair braided, though she admitted after the fact that it 'kind of made her eyes water' when they pulled her hair so tight! |
 |
| Captain Brody on lookout! |
 |
| Breakfast before heading to Castaway Cay on Day 3! |
 |
| The kids loved playing in the sand... |
 |
| ...and the crystal clear water... |
 |
| Brody was the first one who wanted to be buried... |
 |
| then mermaid Alexa decided it wasn't so bad! :) |
 |
| After a fun day at the beach, we headed back to the room to prepare for our Pirate evening! Who needs Captain Jack Sparrow?? I've got Captain Hill! ;) |
 |
| My two mean men! |
 |
| And the Pirate Princess making her mean face! |
 |
| Her "Hook" pose...both kids were quite impressed when earlier that day, Captain Hook stopped by the kid's area to teach them how to be true Pirates! |
 |
| Of course Brody also enjoyed being the ship Captain! |
 |
| Ready for bed after a long day of excitement! |
 |
| Meeting Aladdin (but no Abu) |
 |
| Chillin' on deck... |
 |
| Tinkerbell! |
 |
| Day 4 - spent at sea... |
 |
| In addition to the pools and the shows and the amazing food and the outings, the ship also had a sports deck, complete with mini-golf! | |
