Magic Kingdom


This elderly lady was so cute with her balloon and sorcerer mouse ears. She was practically skipping. 
Test track, he was big enough todrive this   time! We stood in a deluge to do this!
Max really likes Abraham Lincoln. He loved the hall of presidents, and clapped enthusiastically for several of them. 
Fun day in the Magic kingdom today. Started off with breakfast in Cinderella's castle where we also met Princess' Jasmine, Aurora, Ariel and Snow White. Max really likes Snow White but he definitely enjoyed meeting them all. We enjoyed having the park almost to ourselves for a few hours, then BOOM- people everywhere! Tomorrow we are taking a pool day and catching some rest so we can finish strong with Sea World

Legoland and Grand Floridian

Yesterday was an awesome fourth. We started at legoland and were really impressed with all the scenes they had built. It was really cool. Then we headed to disney world to check into the Grand Floridian for the night. We were right on the edge of the seven seas lagoon and had a fantastic view of Cinderella's castle. Since it was the 4th they were setting off fireworks from the castle and from the island right in front of our room. It was really awesome!!

Castaway Cay day and pirate night.


Another awesome day today. We spent most of our day on the Disney owned Bahaman island of Castaway Cay. It was spectacular! We snorkeled most of our time, and got massages on the beach. Then we headed back to the ship to watch Monsters University and get ready for pirate night. On pirate night almost everyone dresses up as pirates, and the shows, songs and games are all pirate themed. It was so much fun! Tomorrow is our at sea day, and the last day on the ship. Four days is not enough time to see it all, that's for sure. 

Cruise stuff

We spent the majority of our time on this cruise in our swimsuits. Next time, i will pack fewer clothes and more shorts and tshirts. 

You can feel the ship move. Some say the big ships don't have noticeable movement. But this is a big ship, and you still feel it. My cousin Nedra is a cruiser, and she advised us to get the ear patches to prevent sea sickness. We did, and they must work, because none of us ever felt sick. 

The maintenance crew on this ship works 24/7 to keep it maintained. At Nassau we saw them washing the outside, and today at castaway cay they were waxing her. On deck they are constantly cleaning and painting so it still looks brand new. 

Sea day

Our last day on the ship was spent swimming, riding the aqua duck, exploring the ship, watching shows and going to the movies. There are a lot of things we didn't have time to fit in, but that's ok because it gives us a reason to
come back!

Day one on cruise

We had our first celebrity
sighting! 

And a big sail away party. It was fun! We toured the ship and watched dolphins play as we waited to cast off. Max made a friend at dinner and we saw a show that featured lots of disney characters. Dinner was at Enchanted Garden. Itwas delicious   and a tad fancy. The rain kept us from the pool, but allowed us a chance to really explore the boat. Max and Heather even got in a trip on the aquaduck ahead of the storms. 

Blue lagoon island, Nassau Bahamas

This place is BEAUTIFUL! Words can't describe   the colors of the water. Blue, green and aqua just don't do justice. In one if the most beautiful places we have ever been, we did one of the coolest things ever. Today we hugged, kissed and danced with a dolphin. It was magical!
