All-Aboard

The Disney Dream

Day 1

Sunday December 16, 2012

 Sunday morning we boarded the boat in Cape Canaveral. After dropping our carry on bags in the room, we went straight to lunch.

Miller was super excited to be on board!

 After lunch we explored around the boat. It was funny the things Mary Grace remembered. Some of the stuff wasn't in any pictures- so she does have actual memories from our cruise 2 years ago.

 Our ship pulled away from port around 5-

The Cast Off Party

 As soon as we were out to sea, Brent and Mary Grace rode the AquaDuck. This was easily one of the highlights for Mary Grace. She absolutely loved it!

 After some time in the pool we headed back to our room to get ready for dinner. We checked Miller into the nursery for the evening and then went to see the show- 'The Golden Mickey's.

Mary Grace really enjoyed all of the singing and dancing. It is fun to see the best Disney songs preformed live, Broadway style.

 Before dinner we had time to meet Princess Tiana

 And Cinderella

 Our first dinner was in The Royal Palace (there is a 3 night rotation so you get a chance to eat in each restaurant). We chose to have the 8PM dinner seating again. It really allows you to maximize your day- and there are so many activities going on at night that we wouldn't be putting Mary Grace to bed anyway. Miller was able to sleep in the nursery until we picked him up after dinner each night.
