What is graduation????

I keep hearing about this and would love for my boys to do it, but I'm not sure what it is.

Thanks!

On Thursday afternoon,on the 7 night cruises, they do a "graduation" ceremony for all of the kids who have spent time in the clubs/lab during the week. It's held in the Walt Disney Theatre and all of the kids get to go on stage. They play some songs, show picutres that were taken during the week and of course the Big Cheese shows up. The kids get (well in 04) a T-shirt and a Mickey Graduation cap (with ears). It's very cute and a cool experience for the kids. It was at 5 and lasted less than an hour.

The graduation is not to be missed! It's held in the Walt Disney Theater. All the kids come up on the stage, with the bigger ones in back and the smaller ones 9the 3-4 yr olds) sitting inthe front. They are all wearing their graduation caps (complete with Mickey ears!) and their D Sea U (Disney Sea University) T-shirts (over their regular clothes). (Before the ceremony, you must take them to the kids club. That is where they get the caps and t-shirts.)

A lady spoke, and then Mickey and Minnie came out. THey sang a couple songs then there was a slideshow of various pictures taken during the week of the kids.

My girls (4 & 6) beamed the whole time on stage! They were so excited that they wore the t-shirts all night. The t-shirts (in January) are gray with the D Sea U logo in blue. We will definitely do it again on our next cruise in April.

Just a note that two of my three did the graduation, but my middle son was a little shy about being on stage. It's ironic, because he ended up being in more pictures during the slide show than our other two.

After he saw it from the audience, he was upset he didn't do it because he didn't get the t-shirt. Later that night, we asked at the club if he could get a t-shirt anyway. They gave him both the t-shirt and a cap.

All three want to do it again this year!
