The Disney experience as you enter the ship is a red carpet event with the crew clapping and announcing your name... or so I heard. Some lady butted her way in between me (and the 6 pieces of luggage I was toting) and the rest of my family (who were relatively luggage free).
The perfect recipe for a little down time on the ship. Taking Sick In The Head on a Disney Cruise was not lost on me. And substitute a flute of champagne for the coffee after about 3pm.
The entrance into the Walt Disney Theater. The boys loved it, but I think Uncle Matt was a little over the "broadway style" performances. But he was a trooper and came to each show with us!
Another Disney tradition is to decorate your door so that kids can easily identify your room. Here is our room. OK, just kidding. Our door did have a 1" x 1" square magnet with black and white polka dots. Very fancy. Seriously with the origami? Way to go Room 7567 family.
There were cartoon artwork around the ship as well.
The character breakfast was brilliant. Here is my mom doing a Disney version of a grandma who has lost her mind.
He may not be a planet anymore, but Pluto is still a blast. Someone told a Uranus joke and although Kyle does not understand why it is funny, he continues to tell Uranus jokes at a moment's notice.
Nana and Papa bought the boys journals to capture their inner most cruise thoughts. Kyle's first entry said, "This is a picture of me running into a naked booty in a bathroom stall."
The ship has a pool that the boys enjoyed on the first day. What a way to start the trip!
Down the slide!
He has a six pack, which is amazing since he only eats bagels, bread, pizza, hot dogs, and Cliff Bars.
Baywatch moment. Move over David Hasselhoff and David Charvet.
Ryan made friends before he even boarded the Disney Wonder. Yay for daycare teaching my children to integrate with new friends.
About to leave Canada Place in Vancouver BC. Nana and Papa were only 2 doors down.
This is Ryan's take on the send off party. He's finding his happy place.
Goodbye Vancouver.
The party out of the harbor! Work it Disney pep squad in all of your hyped up positivity.
We had such a nice cabin. We were very spoiled.
Character breakfast napkin hat. Awesome.
When on Disney, do as the characters do.
Pluto with Goofy#1.
Pluto with Goofy #2.
Pluto with Goofy #3. Uncle Matt was not thrilled with everything involved in this photo.
Papa's favorite, Goofy!
Goofy sets sail.
Ryan's favorite: Captain Mickey!
The best photo we could do for formal night. The problem with my dress was that the moment I sat down, it became essentially a robe, so that was lovely. Thank god I had a shawl. Could you imagine flashing people on a Disney cruise?
Fancy family.
The two handsomest little boys I have ever seen. And the older boy looked very handsome too!
Watching the festivities.
Sunset.
Whale watching with Papa. The Disney Wonder also provides blankets, which is brilliant.
Boys on a boat.
Porthole poses.
At one of the upscale family concierge events, here we are behaving like respectable... wait... what? He later ate about 45 shrimp.
More porthole poses. Note his new favorite stuffed animal that he now takes everywhere. Really hoping we don't lose Stuffy Goofy because I have no idea where to buy a replacement.
Kyle's favorite: Donald Duck!
