So today we had to get up at the crack of dawn. Well it felt like that. We had to go through customs this morning to go to St. Thomas. Customs is done at the WD theater. I think we arrived a little before 8am and the line was out the door. It moved pretty quick. There was coffee, juice and pastries to eat and drink. Lots of people were in PJs and lots of kids were still sleeping in their parents arms. They checked passports or I guess Birth certificates and then stamped hands with the invisible ink. I am glad we got there when we did because the line was even longer when we got out.

Those who had early excursions were supposed to be there early, if you had no excursion you could go later. We had no excursion and were in no rush to get off the ship.

We headed back to the room and then we headed to Lumiere's for breakfast.
Fruit

Eggs, bacon, hash browns

Ham and Cheese omelet, bacon and hash browns

I walked around the ship and took some pictures of the island

Tour busses

This gorgeous rainbow, the pictures do not do it justice. You could see both ends.

Eventually we got off the ship.

I think these might be olives, but honestly I have not idea but it was very interesting looking

More storm clouds, they followed us everywhere. Honestly it is just life in the islands

Paradise Point Tram

I had wanted to ride the tram, but we forgot to buy our tickets on the ship, as they are cheaper to buy from Disney then if you buy them at the actual location. Were were going to walk to the Magic and back here again but in the end decided it was too hot.

Pirates Arrr.

Magic

Fountain

Magic Details

So we got back on the ship and decided we were not going back out to Paradise point. It is not super far but it was hot and we had done a bunch of walking. St. Thomas was my favorite island besides Castaway Cay. It is absolutely gorgeous and I loved the mountains. I would love to go back again.

As we were getting back on the ship, a bunch of people in firefighter gear were running around and the alarms were going off they were doing a safety drill. You can see a cast member in a PFD here

I took more pictures of the beautiful land

These guys were working on the aft of the ship

Before long we were leaving St. Thomas

All of a sudden Goofy came out of nowhere, so I had my picture taken with him. You just never know when a Disney character were come out.

So I went back to the room and took a short nap. I placed my camera on the vanity area. When I got up I realized it was right next to the ice bucket and very cold, so I moved it away from there but it was still fogged up inside when I went to leave so we took Stephen's camera with us instead for the evening.

We headed to dinner in Animator's Palate, tonight we had the Master's Chef menu
Warm Smoked Bacon, Onion and cheese tartlet

Tomato, Olive and Basil Bruschetta

Chilled Potato and Dill Cream- This was surprisingly pretty good

Baked Vegetable Lasagna

Linguine smoked salmon and asparagus

Oven-baked orange roughy

Caramelized Apple Cheesecake on an Oreo Cookie Cheesecake

Peach Flambe'

We headed back to the room and we had a towel head Mickey waiting for us

Hi Becky. Outstanding trip report!! I love the pictures. Your flower shots are stunning Bummer about no table mates. Our family was by ourselves for our 10-day cruise and although my hubby was OK with this, I find it fun to discuss the day's events with others. Can't wait for more!

After dinner we headed to the WD Theater. The show was performed by Lynn Trefzger. She was a ventriloquist and was pretty good. I think this was her first time she was onboard since she had her baby, not that long ago.
Camelot

Simon

Emily

We were headed through the main atrium and there was no line for Alice an Mad Hatter. Mad Hatter gave me a hard time because Alice was on my shirt and he was not

We then headed to the Rockin' D bar for Magic Quest II. It was even more fun then the first time and our team won. It is a hug scavenger hunt of things in the room. It is hilarious and I recommend you participate if they offer it.

Then it was time for the 80s Time warp, which was tons of fun. Stephen left early. But I hung out with Jen, Dan, Donna, Chris, Lisa and I am missing someone; Jay??. I had a good time hanging out with them. It was almost 2am when I left. Thanks Jen for dancing with me.

I walked around on deck 10 before heading to bed, tomorrow was my 2nd to last full day on the Magic.

Thank you! We should have linked with some DISer's but we did not. On Thursday night we discovered that the one group of DISer's 6 of them had 2 seats left at their table. But we decided to stay where we were for the last dinner and then breakfast. We were close enough to the other tables and talked to them so much, we should have combined them but it would have made it difficult for the servers had we pushed them together.

So today was my day that I wanted to relax and not do much of anything. I slept in late and ordered room service.

Salad

Pizza

Cookies

Mickey Bars

Then I went out and about
Rockin' D Bar Carpet

Promenade Lounge

We attended the animation class, surprisingly they had us draw with crayons

We learned to draw Donald

Then I went swimming for a bit and then went and saw Wild Hogs.

After Wild Hogs I headed back to the room and packed most of my stuff, that was not already in a suitcase. Two weeks of being in the room and stuff was scattered all over.

Actually Stitch and Mickey just had a ton of stuff

Before long it was time to get dressed for dinner, which was in Parrot Cay

Ice Cream Sundae with Mango Ice- This was delicious, I wish I would have discovered it earlier

Time to dig in

Then we headed to Rockin' D Bar and saw Rebecca and Jon perform- it was there first time on the Magic they did a decent job of yo-yo and other tricks. Let's just say I could not do most of them.

Hula hoop anyone???

 

[ReAnSt]

So then I headed to Walt Disney Theater for Disney Dreams

I saw these portholes on deck 4 I never noticed before, they look into the galley

Back in the room we had a Monkey towel animal

Well actually its a puppy

Then I headed to the Rockin' D Bar and Lynn Trefzger was performing

Then I headed to the midnight dessert buffet

Before long I headed to bed
