{ Cruisin Disney style . . . part 2 }

The first 2 days at sea we didn't have any stops. But our first morning on board we had our Character Breakfast! The kids were so excited! The characters went from table to table taking pictures with the guests.

{ It was a little earlier then Jenny and Trevor were used to }

Mickey Mouse was up first! I loved his Hawaiian shirt.

{ Myla wasn't sure about the characters }

Next up was Goofy!

{ Sophie was lovin the character breakfast.
She would hug each character multiple times, it was so cute }


Then came Chip . . . (from chip n' dale)

{ Hannah also enjoyed the characters. Check out that grin! }

Then Pluto and Minnie Mouse!


They served the kids Mickey waffles that were pretty yummy. While we were eating our server made our napkins into Disney hats.

After the Character breakfast Papa bought the kids an autograph book and pen from the Disney store which make seeing the characters around the ship even more exciting!

The kids had some fun activites in the Oceaneers Lab that they were planning on attending so until it was time for that we went up on deck 10 (the top deck) and played some basketball and fuze-ball. It was still a little chilly because we weren't very far south yet.


In the lab, the kids got to learn how to make flubber! They system they have for the lab and club is really so cool. You can check the kids in and then they txt you on your wave phone when they are ready to be picked up.

We picked up Sophie a little early because it was time for the princess parade in the lobby.
Logan got in the line early so we wouldn't have to wait as long.

Nana has a special place in her heart for Princesses. This is why:

"The Disney Princesses ~ I get emotional every time I see the Disney Princesses. I know that they are trained to be this way, but I love the way the focus on the little girl in front of them. They hug the little girl and make eye contact and get down on their level. I imagine that this is what Christ would do with children. I'm thankful to see such a great example of Christ-like behavior."

So Jenny and I had an emotional moment as we saw Nana watch from the balcony while Sophie met the princesses.


Dinner that night was formal attire. It is stressful to get everyone ready but creates a nice mood when everyone is dressed up.

After dinner we changed back into our comfy clothes and went to one of the Studio Sea for some dancing!

It was a great first day.
