Saturday January 31st
Weather: High 60/Low 41 sunny and windy
Today we got up at six a.m to get ready and finish packing our bags because everything that needed to be in those bags (really all we had were our pjs and toiletries to put in them) needed to be in them and they needed to be packed and sitting by the door waiting for bell services to pick them up because they started pick up at eight we were told.
Promptly at eight there was a knock at the door. We needed like two more minutes just to zip things up ( we had been moving pretty slow lol) and put the tags on. So they told us they had a few more pick ups and that theyd be back in five minutes and that we needed to be ready by then! No problem
we were ready when they came back.
We ordered breakfast after our bags were picked up and took our time eating since we were in no rush now. It was 9:24 and design a tee opened at 9:30 so we took the bus to dtd to pick up our tees we made for the cruise. (I forgot to mention this in my last update. The last night we were at dtd we made shirts for the cruise and they were way to busy and couldnt get ours printed so we had to go back this morning and get it.) We went in there and it was so much less crowded than it was the night before. I highly recommend going there in the morning!
Dh didnt have a hoodie and it was pretty darn chilly on this morning so we went to WOD to get him a hoodie. Once we had a hoodie and the nice cm cut the tag off for him we headed back towards the buses, but not without stopping by (you guessed it the crazy pin people) and yes they were already out in all their glory this morning! We talked to a few of them and checked out their pins as well, but unfortunately we didnt think to bring our pins with us because dh was dead set on just getting those tee shirts and getting back to the resort. I think he was regretting it pretty badly, but alas all good things must come to a end and it was time to head back to the resort. We saw some good pins, but nothing worth going in the pin store and buying for them.
We did one last look around the room to make sure we hadnt forgot anything and went to wait in the lobby for the bus to take us to the port. They had all the ship people wait in the little area to the left of the dvc desk. We waited for about a hour because we didnt have to be down there until 12:15 and it was only 11ish or a little after. Uggg I hate waiting! Im the most impatient person when it comes to waiting for something
especially if its me or the bus to take you to the gosh darn port! I called both my mom and dad. My phone ended up going dead on the bus because I forgot to charge it the night before. Yea, Im bad about that at times. Lol.
I went out on the viewing deck and looked at the animals and took a few pics and soon enough it was time to go out to our bus!
giraffes are my fave!
Yay! I was so excited! We said good bye to AKL and got on our bus. We were on our way and it took FOREVER to get there! Remember Im impatient?
A hour and twenty minutes to get to port Canaveral from AKL. I was sad to say goodbye to Disney world, but I was excited to say hello to the Disney magic, which was going to be our home for the next seven days! (We cruised the wonder for our disneymoon in july.)
The ride there was uneventful except for this little boy that informed the little girl in front of him that you can get free ice cream on the big red boat whenever you want and also that you can meet your favorite characters. The parents kind of talked amongst themselves and chuckled that the little boy thought the ice cream was free (really mommy and daddy paid for that ice cream lol) Still he was cute and entertained us. Not sure where he got big red boat from? Maybe because the stacks are red?
We got to the port and went through security without any issue and we checked in and they gave us lanyards since it was our second time crusing we are now members of the
castaway club, which is what the lanyards were for. After we checked in, which was super fast and easy we had to get our picture taken for security measures (I guess they just started this, but its somehow connected to your key to the world card so when they swipe it they know its really you.) The cm taking the pictures asked me if I had an engineer mickey? ( I was carrying steam boat willie in my arm
told you hed make another appearance in the report!) I informed the cm that it was steam boat willie and he proceeded to show me the steam boat willie pin he had on his name tag. Very cool!
Lol.
We got our embarkation picture taken, sanitized our hands (if you havent been on a
Disney cruise then you wont know this so Ill just say that you have to sanitize your hands ALL the freakin time it seems like! Lol probably like that on all cruise lines Im guessing.)
We walked across the little gangway and into the lobby of the Disney magic and were announced and then headed for our stateroom since it was ready. (there is a cm that asks you your family name and theyll announce you when you come onto the ship and there are several cms to stand there and clap for you and then give you directions to the lunch buffet and what not.
So they say Disney magic please welcome for the second time the insert your name here family.) Its cute. One family on our first cruise had sailed 14 times!! We already had one piece of luggage sitting at our door when we got to our stateroom. The other three took about 20-30 minutes if even that long. They are pretty speedy about it. I plugged in my phone and then we went to get food from plutos and brought it back to the room because it was pretty windy on deck so I didnt want to sit up there (I hate wind with a passion lol) We ate and then we looked out and we were starting to leave port so we went out on our verandah and waved goodbye to everyone. (dh makes fun of me because I love to wave when we leave the port
there were a bunch of people further away from the port that were just sitting there waving to the ship as we left
I thought that was really cool!) There were several cms on the Disney port balacony waving with mickey hands. They were so darn cute!
a view of our stateroom from the verandah
possibly our luggage
we've made a tradition out of taking this picture of me on the verandah...i have one from the honeymoon too! all ready for the safety drill!
from our disneymoon:
they said everybody in your cabin should be in a life vest
really...i just thought it was cute lol...after all i promised he'd make a appearance again.
disney port
bye ya'll!
they followed us for a while...I think they were just escorting the ship out to sea...of course I waved to them too!
the last bit of land we'd see for two days
We saw some pelicans, which was fun to watch them try to scoop stuff out of the water. After we passed all the land and exhausted our waving I decided that it was time for a small nap. After all we had been in the parks for seven days and now we were on the cruise and it was time to relax! I woke up around sixish and we headed to the 6:15 show.
He carried it on the last trip too though so I give him props for that. 
They are so stinkin' cute sitting in my spare bedroom all lined up. Haha Okay on with the report now! 
Thanks for following along and I hope you had a good weekend!
Also I went back to ohio for a week for my friends little boys first bday party. Dh was put in the hospital over night while I was home and he is going to be seeing a infectious disease doc here soon. So cross your fingers they figure out what is wrong with my poor sick guy.
