We got up early Thursday, loaded up, and headed for Port Canaveral. The terminal opened at 10:30 that morning and we got there right when it opened. We were able to upgrade our room to a balcony room and sat back and waited for them to board the ship (which started around 11:30-ish). Mickey Mouse came out before boarding and Katelynn was able to go meet him. She was so cute with the characters. She would belly laugh and bend over giggling when they talked to her. Mickey took her Minnie doll that she was holding and was giving it kissees, which made her laugh quite hard.
When we boarded the ship, we went right to the buffet lunch and ate before heading to our room. If you have ever sailed before, you have had to do the mandatory safety drill. Justin lucked out as they didn't have the infant life jacket in our room for the drill. It came after, but he didn't end up having to wear one for the drill.
We spent our afternoon enjoying the kiddie pools and splash park. At departure, they had a pool party and gave all the kids little shakers. Katelynn is quite the dancer. She danced her little heart away, and she was pretty excited when they called all the kids to the stage.
Video of my dancing kids:
I didn't get any good shots of Katelynn in the "Mickey" pools. She was all over them swimming and dancing around them. Here was Justin testing out the splash zone.
We had a late night dinner seating. Normally at 8:15, the kids are in bed and instead they were just eating dinner. We could have ate the buffet earlier instead, but we decided to give the main dining a try. Our server made the kids paper mache toys.
After dinner, we met Snow White before heading off to bed!
Katelynn was pretty excited about the towel animal that was waiting for us when we got back to our room. I still think she was a little more excited about the chocolate sitting in front of it though.
The maid had set up the bunk beds for the kids. We didn't let Katelynn sleep up there because she's quite a mover, and we were a little too worried she would roll off (yes, there was a bar but not covering much of it and she is really all over the bed), but she enjoyed checking it out.
Ready for bed!
And they were out again!
