Hair Braiding and Royal Palace!
(March 21, 2015)
*Happy Super Bowl Day! It's sad that the TR is half way over and I don't have a cruise planned! I guess I'll have to live through everyone else until then! I watched the Fantasy sail away last night with her late departure. One day, one day! This weekend my parents are coming to Orlando for a vacation. We're staying 3 nights at Disney (1 night POFQ and 2 Riverside.) Last week we got a letter saying Riverside's pool and hot tub would be closed. We're trying to get it changed but sadly with Valentine's Weekend and President's Day Weekend, we might have to stick with what we have. Maybe I'll do a mini TR with this to prolong the ending even more! Thoughts????? (March 21, 2015)
When I left off, mom and I had to leave the pool area while it was closed and cleaned from the overly intoxicated guest. It was shortly after that I decided I wanted to get my hair braided. In 2013, I had made the mistake of doing it at CC and had almost 20 braids in my hair! I stopped by the booth and was told to come back in an hour so I killed time in the stateroom until it was my turn. The braider was really nice and we chatted about WDW and DCL. I told her how I made the mistake of getting my hair done at CC last time bc I had so many braids in my hair. After she was finished, I was shocked to find, I had again almost 20 braids in my hair and at $2 a braid, I was nearly shocked. I guess next time (if I do it, I need to say no more than 10!)
I paid with room charge including the tip and went back to the room just in time to sail away and get ready for dinner!
After I got ready, I took a selfie on the verandah with my Pirate's Night Bandana:
The show that night was Villain's Tonight. Mom watched bits of it on the TV and we decided to skip it. We went to the Pirate show before heading to dinner and went dressed for dinner. Since we were dining at Royal Palace, I didn't want to wear my Pirate t-shirt and jean capris (personal choice,) so I wore a dress and changed later.
The show was cute but I don't know if I would take the time to see it again. I ditched the bandana and we went to Royal Palace. Since we were only on the 3 night, we didn't get a pirate menu which I was okay with since I liked the RP menu.
We sat down and drinks were waiting for us. We talked to our table mates who admitted the loved Blue Lagoon dolphin day and I suddenly had wished we had done BL, next time maybe. We also met our other table mates, a mom and her 8 year old son who were from Jacksonville. They were also WDW AP holders and were on their first Disney Cruise too. They said they spend the whole first night sick from the rocking and were unable to make dinner. All 6 of us…well 5 adults mostly had great conversation!
They all convinced me that I should run the 5k in the morning. I had run the Enchanted 10k a month before that in WDW and was on a runDisney kick so after they all convinced me…and none of them wanted to join me (hahahaha,) I decided to just go for it! Before we knew it, it was dinner time!
I WANT THIS!!!!!!!!!!
Again, even after having pulling out my trip bin, I could not find any notes on food (still can't believe it,) so here's the food, guess away!
The food was all good. It still continues to be a fav meal of mine.
Dessert Menu:
Our servers were much more relaxed that night and were talkative to us. We were one of the last tables to leave so I took pictures on the way out…
We got back to the room to change for Pirate Night a saw our first bit of Sadness on the bed…the envelopes for our tips, thus knowing the cruise was ending soon…
We got changed and of course went back to the gift shops again..why not?! Finally it was Pirate Night time!
Trip Tips:
~When getting your hair braided, specify if you only want a certain amount of braids!
~Not having the pirate menu is okay, especially if you are at Royal Palace!
~Mickey's Pirate Show was good, not sure if I'd see it again
~You can watch the stage shows on your stateroom TV
