July 13th, 2008- All Aboard
Woke up at about 6:30 and took a shower. Went down to get breakfast and came back to the room and ate. After breakfast checked out of the Sheraton Park Hotel and took a taxi over too the Grand Californian hotel to drop of bags so they would make it to the cruise. After that went to Disneyland for one last time and then when Califorina Adventure was open, headed over there to look around once more. Around 10:30 went to Jamba Juice and got a smootie then headed back to the Grand Californian to check in and catch the bus to the port. Got to port around 1:00 or so and was on the Disney Magic eating lunch by 1:35 at Topsiders Buffet. After lunch, walked around the ship a little and then headed the check out the cabin, we were in 7624

which was aft on the ship. Went and walked around the ship a little and then headed back to the room to get ready for the lifeboat drill.

The lifeboat drill was in Animator's Palate which was nice. After that head to the dis-meet behind topsiders and met everyone. After that head to the Adventures Away party at the Goofy Pool on deck 9.

After Adventures away went down to sit on deck 4 for a while

then headed to the cabin to get ready for dinner. Met up with my dad outside Animator's Palate and went to dinner met our servers Ana and Mikey(who where the best servers we had) and we also met our table mates, don't remember their names, but they were nice. Dinner was in Animator's Palate tonight and it was great, saw the show tonight also.

After dinner went to the stores to look around and then head to the Walt Disney Theatre to see the All Aboard! Let The Magic Begin! show that night. Mark Eddie and Don Friesen were in the show that night doing acts.

After the show walked around the ship a little then around 9:45 went down to Diversions for the college Club Social. Met Jay the Pub Master and some of the other college aged people. We all headed over to Rockin' Bar D and played Magic Quest and then watched Match Your Mate, when that was over we all said bye to Jay and all went walking around the ship. Couldn't find anything to do so we headed down to Rockin' Bar D and then some of us went to Sessions to play cards. We then headed to Diversions and played Jenga till around 2:30am. Went back to the cabin and then went to sleep

it rained on Pirate night my cruise, that was the day we were docked in Puerto Vallarta. But it only rained that night, so they rescheduled fireworks for the night after that. I know it rained a little one of the last two sea days, but not for long. It was kind of cold on the last sea day, but coming from nj for me it felt like it was spring so I didn't need a sweatshirt, but then again I wear a sweatshirt in the winter lol. The meet was good, met a lot of great people. and have a great cruise and if you can, will you try to remember to find out when David, Luke, DJ Mike, nad Pub Master Jay get off the ship I forgot to find out

After getting back to the ship went to the cabin a took a shower to get clean and then went and watched Twice Charmed and then watched the Mariachi Band on deck 9 for a while. Oscar sang a couple songs with them and he was pretty good. After that was Minnie's Fiesta Grande. So I watched that and just chilled.
