Some updated tidbits for the cruise we received from a friend:
You MUST do the new character breakfast. It is called Mickey's Island Jam. The characters DO NOT do autographs. Instead there are three sets. Set one is mexican themed and the characters come out and invite the kids to join them. They then teach them a dance and the kids get to dance right up there with the characters. They divid e the room into three groups and there are penty of characters. A few for each group so it is not too crowded.
Then Polynesian is the second set with Lilo and Stitch. First girls only dance wiht Lilo. Then girls circle the floor and the boys come up. they get gold elvis style glasses with sideburns (too funny) and Stitch teaches them to swing their hips. At the end they get all the girls to scream for the boys Elvis style. they then play a sily pass the coconut game.
And then there is the third set with lots of dancing and character interaction for the kids. A thousand times better than the old breakfast, IMO.
Next:
Oh, new show that you MUST do replaced Walk the Plank. It is Wheel of Destiny and there are parts where the entire crowd participates.....it was much better than Walk The Plank.
And:
Rockin Bar D apparently has differnt themes on a rotating basis rather than always being the same format.
Finally:
Be prepared to spend $$$ in Shutters. They have new backgrounds that are great and they are doing black and white as well.
