There are two new Stowaways! Of course, Mickey came along with us and we now have Chip 'n Dale in their nautical outfits!

You can see two of the Boys in this photo, well....3 counting DH!

It was quite an adventure for us to get Chip! Let's just say I got the last one from the eastern side of the United States!

The Last Hurrah


It was our last night on the ship and we decided to enjoy it. We had the late dinner seating and that meant we got to enjoy the ship when it was empty because everyone else was at dinner. It is so nice to enjoy the top deck when there isn't anyone around. It's very peaceful up there overlooking the water.

It was almost time for our last dinner and I was thrilled that we would be celebrating at Animator's Palate. We went to change for dinner and we couldn't wait to see what was in store for us at dinner!

Animator's Palate was such a neat restaurant and I just loved the pictures changing colors on the walls all around us. The menus had different holograms from Disney movies on them too! We were glad we got to spend some more time with our tablemates and wanted to wish them a fond farewell too! The last dinner was quite an experience and our servers made it a special moment for us!

Our group was all about the Boston Cream Pie! It was fantastic and what a way to top off an evening! Yummy!

Then, I saw our server and our headwaiter coming towards us with a cake! They broke out into their own version of a "Happy Anniversary song for DH & me! It was so sweet and such a surprise! I didn't think it would be possible for us to eat any more cake!

It was so sad saying good-bye to everyone, but we had to get back to our rooms as quickly as we could because we needed to have our luggage packed and ready to be picked-up in the hallway

Now It's Time to Say Good-Bye...


We woke up on our last day as late as possible. We slowly got ready and I knew it was going to be so sad for us to leave our stateroom. We grabbed the last of our belongings and our Disney bags of goodies, and we made our exit down the hallway. The ship was pretty empty; our room was one of the only rooms left to be cleaned.

We knew we were already in port and our car was right next door. The lobby was streaming with sunlight from the door to the "real world."

We saw a few of the CM's waving good-bye to us with their Mickey gloves and we really knew the most WONDERful cruise ever was coming to an end. Then, we saw our most amazing Cruise Director and his smiling face! It was Bret! We couldn't leave without saying good-bye to him and thanking him for such an amazing experience. I knew I'd miss hearing his voice everyday!

It was such a WONDERful cruise and I cannot wait to book our next one! Disney does everything the BEST and I couldn't imagine a more Magical cruise! I can't wait to be back on board!



COMPLETED



The Disneyland & "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" World Premiere Trippie will begin shortly...

[Spartangirl]

Thanks for sharing your cruise with us! I'm glad you had such a "Magical" time! I love the "See you real soon" banner...too cute! I'm looking forward to your Disneyland trippie. We leave on Sunday for CA.

 

[Ski-and-Sea]

Nooooo....not the end..

Bravo and well done!!!!!!

This trippie is getting me so excited about my own Wonder cruise.

 

[PirateKitty]

Thanks so much for another great trip report. Your cruise looked like so much fun. And its weird, but other than the pics when you and your DH were in the restaurants, there didn't seem to be many other passengers on board. Kind of like a private cruise! You must have chosen a great time to go on your trip. The food looks amazing. I don't know how you kept the weight off! I would have had to bring a size larger for the ride home! Looking forward to more trippies for inspiration!

 

[apirateslife4evr]

What a "Wonder"ful trip report......now you have me itchin to take a DCL cruise.....aaahh, maybe someday

 

[Funniebunny]

Awww, I hate when TR's come to an end This one has made me so excited about our own cruise though and I now can't wait to go. After reading about you staying on board at Nassau and not doing excursions, I'm thinking that we may prefer to do that, the ship looks so beautiful, I think just experiencing it may be fine for me and DF (will be DH by then) The trip looked so relaxing, it's making me eager to book my next one and I haven't even gone on my first one yet!!!
