Seriously, I was laughing about it at the time, knowing it must have looked ridiculous, but trying to be casual.
You know, just going to pick up my kid, nothing to look at here.
"Yeshhh... I'm.. uh... I... am... hee... heee.... here!... to pickup... pick........up.... my dau... my do.... my daaa.... my kid."
Cool kid with the tats.
Not enough butter on this bread, time for more
:
Can never have enough butter.
This dining room has large screens everywhere and they use them to make you feel like you’re under the sea:
Cool!
But, first, a dining room selfie/we-sie:
Cute pic of you guys!
Izzy washed her butter down with some milk:
I was going to make a dairy comment, but...
Nobody can accuse this girl of not getting enough dairy.
... you beat me to it.
I think this might have been the Roasted Garlic Dip for the bread service
:
Or it was soup. Or we spilled something in this dish.
Here’s a shot with a better overview of the dining room. You can see all the screens everywhere:
Nice. I like it.
No surprise what Izzy chose for dinner
:
Butter?
He actually came over and interacted with our tablemates quite a bit and I captured the whole thing on video (about 2 minutes long):
That's so cool! Didn't realize they were interactive, too!
She promptly got Mickey sprinkles everywhere:
That's what they're for.
If you don't sprinkle them on the seat and floor, you'll put someone out of work.
And it was very tasty. In fact, Izzy had polished off her Mickey bar by the time this showed up and was apparently still hungry, so she dove right in:
We also had to bid our wonderful tablemates farewell.
They were great and we enjoyed their company!
That's good. I can't imagine how much of a pain it would be if your tablemates were stick in the mud types.
We had some more chocolates and a towel bunny waiting there:
Pretty creative.
So, yeah, maybe she can take it with her to college someday.
"Oh. Here's a pillow case for you."
"Mom! Why have you been hiding this all these years!!!"
They let you choose if you want the princesses to sign or not and I skipped that, since it could have been a baby boy and there just wasn’t a lot of room anyway.
Smart. I probably wouldn't have thought of not having the princesses sign it.
It made me a little nervous to have her out of my reach at that age, but I kept a close eye on her, hoping nobody would question why she was by herself:
OMG! What kind of a parent are you!?!?
I wish Snow White had taught Birdie how to help with the housework (we just watched the movie on Disney Junior today).
I want one of those birds.
Heck with that... I want a
flock.
Also, this was back in the days where Izzy said “cheese” for pictures – for a long time now, she has yelled “chicken feet!”
Sure. Makes total sense.
After that stop at the nursery, I enjoyed the ship a bit on my way back. There was a piano player in the atrium:
Nice! Always love those.
And the best part was that I arrived back to a sleeping toddler:
Niiiiiiice.
Before we could leave our stateroom, though, we had to drink in that verandah view just a bit more
:
I get that.
We left our room just after 7am:
You look pretty happy for 7am... on departure day no less.
And Izzy apparently enjoyed playing with knives while I was at the buffet getting her food
:
You really are a bad parent! You're... you're a
monster!!
Lovely parking structure view.
Heavenly.
Ahem.
Looks like I was in the mood for Froot Loops:
One can never
not be in the mood for Froot Loops.
Check out this muffin, mom:
Where's the butter?
After Izzy finished eating, she went over to play in that little corner cutout thing and it kind-of freaked me out, just hoping that window was solid
:
So let's see.
So far we have
1. Unattended child ready for kidnapping.
2. Playing with knives
and now 3. Teetering on the precipice of disaster.
Here's your Mom of the Year award.
(ps. you know I'm kidding, right?)
We did our classic so-sad-to-be-leaving faces
Awwwww... so sad!
And then it was time to go, with a giant Mickey hand happily waving farewell
:
"Yeah, take that hand and stick it right up your....."
Dug had been a little concerned about bringing leftover Fish Extender snack food off the ship, due to some wording about food on the customs form, but that wasn’t a problem at all.
First a bad parent and now a smuggler?
Where will your depravity end?!?!?
(Izzy’s daycare provider made her that shirt, by the way!
Nice!
And, yes, she still didn’t want those temporary tattoos from the nursery washed off
).
Of course not. She's too cool for that.
But the driver was walking along, checking numbers of people and such, so I made sure he knew that it was just me, I had no bags, and was willing to stand.
I wasn’t going to wait around for another shuttle if I didn’t have to – it had already taken a while for this one to show up. Well, it worked and I got on that first shuttle, skipping by others in line
Nice call. Wouldn't have occurred to me.
I noticed that nearly everyone in line spoke a non-English language, which was interesting.
Huh. That's odd, isn't it?
I’d do this again on a 1-way trip like this. I’m cheap, but a few bucks (per day) automatically charged to our card by Enterprise to not have to deal with getting cash or a sunpass or stopping – worth it!
I'll have to try and remember that.
So, you can do your souvenir shopping right there. (I didn’t – we are not big on souvenirs).
Me neither.
Hope everyone had a happy Halloween! Izzy was Rey from Star Wars and had a blast. I just had to share a picture.
That's great!
My brother-in-law edited the photo and made our living room background with photo-bombing dog SO much better. It's now Rey's home planet and Bailey-8 is with her.
He did a good job, too!
She knows a good thing when she sees it! 
I remember thinking the same thing after our Mixology class. We actually ate at Remy that night and got the wine flight. I remember thinking I now I know how people just fall off the ship. We were walking around after dinner, and I kept steering clear of any railings
