What a long, fun day we have had today!! We got up early this morning to leave the Nick hotel and headed for Port Canaveral. We were SOOOOO excited to see our cruise ship there and couldn't wait to get on!! We got to the port early, but still had to wait for a little while. We met Mickey while we were waiting, though, so that was fun. We got to board the ship at about 12:15 and LOVED seeing everything that we had seen on TV in person!! We headed straight to a restaurant called Parrot Cay for lunch and then walked around and explored the ship. Our room was ready then, so we came to the room and changed into our swimsuits and then headed to the pool. It was a great time to swim since the pools weren't too crowded yet. After some hanging out time, we came back to the room to put our clothes back on and then went to the Sail Away Party!! We got to see lots of characters and had a great time!
In the evening, we went to the “Golden Mickey Awards” show. It was a Live show featuring dancers and characters and big video screens, etc. The special effects were wonderful and we all enjoyed the show! It was dinner time after that. We are assigned to eat in a different restaurant each night and tonight we went to Animator's Palate which was the one we'd been looking forward to the most!! The room begins as black and white and things change into color as the meal goes on. Toward the end, there is a video show and then everything lights up in color. The waiters even change into colored vests! It was very entertaining!! After that, we headed to the lobby to meet Princess Tiana. She was just beautiful like she is in the movie and we got some great pictures with her. Now it is bedtime and we are all ready after this busy day!! We are all having a little difficulty adjusting to the rocking of the ship, but we are hoping that the ship will reach some calmer waters soon and it won't be in motion quite as much tomorrow.

I've loved reading all your trip report. I remember when we drive up to the port & see the Disney ship I always cry :)
Looks like you guys had a GREAT time, and I tell you what...Disney is amazing at helping make special memories. It may cost an arm & a leg, but I guarantee the girls will never forget the fun you had!
Thanks Heather! I completely agree about Disney... they are awesome!! And, the price for this cruise was GREAT. Of course we had to take our kids out of school to do it, but it was worth it!! :)
