Disney Cruise trip - Day 2

Jan 23, 2010 - Saturday
Today was full of Nickelodeon fun!! We started with a character breakfast this morning. We got to meet Cosmo, Wanda, Ming-Ming(a duck from the Wonderpets), and Dora. They walked around and met everyone at each breakfast table and we got lots of fun pictures. The big excitement came when Spongebob showed up!! We got lots of pictures with him and the girls were SO excited!! The food was really good too which was the exciting part for Jason, Kelsey and I! :) After that, we came back to the hotel room for some study time. The girl's teachers sent some work with them so that they won't be as far behind when we get back. They were not to thrilled about the idea of doing homework on vacation, but they had to learn that this is the tradeoff for missing 4 days of school!!

Next, we headed down to the pool. There were 2 big pool areas and luckily, they were both heated. The weather was in the mid 70's which was nice when the sun was out, but did get a little chilly in the shade. The heated water felt great!! Jason wrote a silly story for the “casting call” for a show that they were having in the evening, so we gathered by the pool at 3:30 to see if we were chosen and we found out that we were one of the 2 families chosen to be in the show! They only needed 2 adults and 2 kids for each family, so Kelsey was designated to be the photographer. Jason was very excited and the girls and I warmed up to the idea after a while.

At 4:45, the girls and Jason headed to the pool to get under a big bucket that poured out green slime! They had a great time getting all slimey!! After that, we went to the food court area for some pizza and then we went to the area where the show is held. It was a game show format and we (red team) competed against another family (blue team). I “got to” dress up like Mama Chicken and hatch some water balloon eggs and we also watched some audience members play some games and we answered some trivia questions. It was a tie up to the very end and then the other team won! The captain of the other team got to get slimed, but our captain (Adysen) got a cream pie to throw in her Daddy's face!! That was a pretty good consolation prize! We headed back to the room to hang out for a while and then Adysen and Allie went to see a 4D Spongebob movie. What a fun day!! We are excited about tomorrow when we will get up, pack, and head over to Port Canaveral where we will board the Disney Wonder!!!
