DW woke up early to go walking with MIL. The rest of us slept in a bit. Today is a day at sea. We got breakfast and got the kids off to camp, and then DW and I went to the gym. The TVs were not working too well on the cycles. After our workout we went back to the room and got cleaned up, by then it was almost noon. We had lunch at Topsiders and MIL/FIL came in near the end of our meal. We then went the DVC Member Celebration - they give stuff away and tell us about new DVC locations, it is for DVC members only. It wasn't that great so off to pick the kids up for the Mad Hatter Tea party.
The Tea Party was being held in Studio Sea, and was only apple juice and cookies. When we got DD8 she told us she had skipped lunch. This was not good since she missed breakfast too! The problem is they now give the kids the choice to go to multiple events. Previously they were in their group and that was it - they had to do what their group was doing. So this option is good for the kids since they are not forced into doing something they dno't want to, but they need to have responsibility to stop playing and have lunch. And that is tough for an 8 year old in a Disney kids camp! Then DD10 told us that they are not brought to the buffet anymore, but rather lunches are brought to the camp in the form of sandwiches and chips. Faster certainly, but not great for options for the kids. So they want to come out for lunch, which is no problem. It would be if we did a lot of all day excursions in certain ports, but we don't so no biggie.
Anyway, the Tea Party. DD8 was cranky from no food and only cookies so I left and got her some pizza. Then she started to bounce back and be herself. This kid needs a constant supply of sugar or she becomes very unhappy.
At 3pm we went to a DisBoards mixer. The DisBoards are a website (www.disboards.com) that is composed of forums and chats about Disney. We have gotten alot of information from it. Over the past couple months we have posted questions and comments and others have too. It was nice to put some faces to names.
Then we went to sit on Deck 4 which has lounge chairs, and just look out on the ocean. Both DW and I worked on our blogs and then we went to get the kids for dinner. Tonight was formal night in Lumiere's. I'm not a foodie so I'm not going to talk about the food much. I had the chicken and DW had pasta which was actually ravioli. She commented that she wishes DCL (Disney Cruise Line) would just call food what it is instead of trying to dress it up with fancy names.
After dinner DD8 went back to camp and DD10 went with us to see a comedy show by Heath Hyche - very good. She had 2 of the NA drinks of the day and enjoyed being the only kid with us for a bit. Then we went to see Twice Charmed. She went back to the camp and DW and I went to wait in the line to exchange money, then to "TV Tune Trivia" which is right up DW's alley. We came in second. Then we picked the kids up, got them a snack and off to bed. Tomorrow is Oslo.
