Day at Sea
Well, I got my very early morning wake up call from Mickey and asked Doug if he wanted to go see the sunrise with me, but he was too tired, so I grabbed my coffee and went upstairs alone. I sat on the top deck and finally realized I needed to be on the other side of the ship!!! Duh!!! But I did it right in the nick of time. I got to relax and watch the sun slowly appear as we traveled on out through western Caribbean waters. I drank my coffee and realized just how lucky, no, blessed I am.
After the sun rose, I returned back to the room and got Evan and Amittaia and Amber and Valencia as no one else wanted to go to the character breakfast. We needed to go to Parrot Cay (Deck 3) at 8:15. I did not see too many smiles but also I did not hear any complaints, as even though we all were tired, we were very excited to see the characters. Finally, they came dancing out to greet us!!! Chip and Dale, Goofy, Pluto, Mickey and Minnie
it was great!!!! Even though we were way in the back, each character came over to us and took pictures with us and I, luckily, brought the autograph book that each of them signed! J
As we chased for more characters after, I remembered Amber and I had a spa treatment booked!!!! How could I forget? We had a body wrap with a half body massage booked at the Vista Spa (Deck 9). I added on the facial and Amber added on the stone massage. It was just heavenly.
The afternoon came around and I mentioned the Golden Mickeys show (like a miniature Broadway show) was going on in the Walt Disney Theater (Deck4). I thought it would be a good idea to go to the early show because I thought the evening one would be much more crowded. So Doug and I went and got Valencia and it was really nice because Amber met up with us. We LOVED it!! I had wished everyone had gotten to see it. It really was spectacular and we got to see some of the characters again. Watching this show made you feel like a kid again... it was almost real and emotional like I am, I just could not stop a couple of tears from trickling
I was not alone
Amber was in the same boat!!! There is just something about this ship!!!
Afterwards, we tried catching up with everyone and saw that Heidi was feeling 100% better and that was real good because she had us worried. Her and Larry had hit the art auction and had a lot of fun doing that. The kids were once again off to their things and Doug had gone to eat lunch. Valencia was now with her friends. Later on, Amber, Heidi and I met up and did another round of BINGO once again, without winning. L
In the evening it was the formal night and we really had to get dressed early if we wanted pictures and to make it to dinner on time. I must say that everyone looked fantastic!!!! We all went and had our pictures taken around the Mickey Statue in the Atrium. My family was dressed in Mickey colors, red, black and white; keeping in mind this was going to be our Christmas card picture. Valencia had on her Minnie Mouse dress and she matched us and added that Disney Magic to the photograph. By the way, we DID chase Minnie Mouse down as she was just leaving a photo shoot. We missed the shoot but caught up with her. I honestly think she was trying to get away, but once she saw Valencia in her Minnie Mouse dress, with her stuffed Minnie Mouse, she HAD to stop.
They were giving out complimentary drinks in the Atrium. Doug like the Mai Tai and I had the Cosmopolitan, but liked the Mai Tai much better. The line moved very quickly for the pictures and I really think it was because we were at the beginning of the line. After pictures, we went to have dinner at Animators Palate again. They did not do the color show tonight but it still was fun. After that, Doug and I took the baby and hunted down characters, and then after we went to see Chronicles of Narnia with Valencia. I fell asleep for about 15 minutes in the beginning of the movie, but after I caught those few zzzs I was fine. Come to find out, while we were at the Golden Mickeys earlier, Amittaia and Tenisa were at the movies watching Valiant. Evan started to watch the movie but decided to meet up with some of his friends instead. After the movie was over, we went back to the room and went to bed and the kids were told they had to come in early because tomorrow was a BIG day!
I ordered room service for coffee in the morning, another cheese platter that night and put in for my two-morning wake up calls!!!!
Oh man, what a day! It started out wonderful thanks to Heidi but because I made a typo on airline reservations it turned out to be a nightmare. I left out an r in my husband's last name. I pray that our plane tickets will turn out ok and we will be charged the correct amounts. Sheez, my face is so hot I feel like I am going to explode. It is all due to nerves. Now we have two different reservations on American Airlines, one each. 
Tomorrow is your big day. 
Have a terrific time. You will be missed.
You are just too funny. Yes, get out that trip report. That would make my day!!
to get ready for us. We were number one for her but she had 40 more quotes after us. Can you imagine doing all that work and then people like us 
don't take it. Then on top of that she still had to make ressies for the WDW people who want the free dining. At least I did that myself! I told her that I would change my ressies over to her to make up for what she did this morning.
