Continuing the afternoon of our last day on the beautiful Disney Dream we headed down to the stateroom to do some packing and cleaned up for the evening. We were not feeling the blues of the vacation ending since we were heading to Animal Kindom Lodge in the morning. It was a really good feeling knowing that the vacation wasn't ending, just changing. Don't get me wrong, we were not ready to leave the ship, but it would have been much worse if we knew we were going home in the morning.
The show of the evening was Believe, and it was my least favorite of the three. I enjoyed parts of it, but it was a bit on the mushy side and perhaps not the best choice when people are already emotional that their cruise is coming to a close.
After the show we stopped by Shutters which was packed! I had read time and time again not to wait until the last night to buy your pictures and I ignored that very good advice. Try not to wait until the last night if you can. We left for now with the intention of coming back later.
Headed back to the room and finished our packing. It was too early to put out the bags so I was going to rush to the room after dinner to put them out. You don't have to put out your bags, but if you don't you'll have to drag them to breakfast and out the ship in the morning. It was very nice to have them waiting down in the customs area.
Our last dinner was at Animator's Palate, and even though we enjoyed spending the last dinner with our wonderful new friends, the meal left much to be desired. It was the See Ya Real Soon menu and not the best.
We started with the Spinach and Artichoke Dip, which was good but not great.
Mom must have gotten this salad since I have a picture of it, but can't remember if she enjoyed it or not.
I had this wedge salad, which was pretty good.
Around this point I was getting freezing so headed to the room for my sweatshirt and put out the bags which left no stress for rushing to the room after dinner.
Before I left my diet coke was empty, and when I got back it was still empty. I was gone at least ten minutes. Up until this point Barry was a most wonderful drink refiller, but I was left thirsty most of the meal even though I tried so many times to catch Barry's eye as he was racing to all the other tables he was taking care of. So when he finally came by I figured I'd have one last Konk Kooler. I might as well have asked for an alien eyeball, he had no idea what I was talking about. He even asked our server Charlie to come over and ask what I wanted, and he had no idea what I was talking about. You'd think that people who have each worked for
DCL for many years would know what a signature drink from CC would be, all the bars on the ship did. Oh well, I just asked for one of the specialty drinks on the menu, I think it was a peach and icecream drink. I got a headache within minutes so didn't drink any more, basically a waste of $5.
We both had just the pasta from one of the entrees. It was very delicious but very heavy. Neither of us could finish it.
I also had some salmon and vegetables from another entree. I ordered way too much food. The salmon was dry, the zucchini was really good though.
They gave mom a birthday dessert which she enjoyed.
and also the Baked Alaska, which she had always wanted to try but was not impressed by.
I had the sugar free Cappuccino Mouse, which was excellent.
The restaurant really was cute, but none of the meals we had there, we also had breakfast in the morning, were impressive.
Our wonderful tablemates and servers.
We were still going to see everybody at breakfast so didn't say goodbye, and we didn't stay and chat because most of them had to go finish packing. It was still a lovely evening even though the food wasn't the best.
do you have another cruise planned?
We tried a few others, and thought the Brazilian one was downright delicious. Coke mixed with orange soda. That thoroughly erased the terribleness of the Beverly. 
Thanks for sharing, that brought a big smile to my face 
sorry for the confusion
