This morning I had the best run of my life! I got up at 5:30a and headed up to the top deck (Evan slept from 8:00p to 6:30a) It was still dark when I got there and there were only 3 other people up. It was cold and windy but at the same time exhilarating! I ran for about 25 minutes and then made a mocha outside the buffet and went for a walk. At that time the ship was clearing the northern tip of Vancouver Island. Daybreak was beautiful. I stood at the back of the ship (my favourite place) by myself and watched the last bits of land go by. I was lucky enough to see a pod of 5 orcas! OMG! Amazing! At 8:00 we went for our scheduled character breakfast.
It was a little rocky getting out the door but then everything was fine. Evan had eggs and bacon, Carter had chocolate chip pancakes and a Mickey Mouse waffle (Mickey Surf) Callie had 2 scoops of scrambled eggs and I had a bagel with lox and cream cheese. Very yummy!! Goofey, Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Chip and Dale all came to our table for breakfast pictures. Callie loved Minnie and Carter liked Goofy the best. Our waiter made us head gear out of napkins. Callie and I got bows, Carter got a Peter Pan hat and Evan got a lost boys hat.
When Francisco was putting Evan's hat on he said "Your head is very big sir." We had a good laugh over that one! Then we stopped by the gift shop where Callie picked out a rattle for baby Ryan and a little Minnie Mouse for Kristen. Carter picked out a cuddly soft Pluto. We took a tour of the kids club and then came back to the room for a rest. We then went to Pluto's Dog house for a quick lunch on the deck ! It was freaking cold. We were bundled up in blankets! Afterwards we checked out the line up for the Princess meet and greet. We were told it was 45 minutes from the end point so Callie decided she wanted to wait.
After all was said and done the two of us waited an hour and a half. She was so patient and the look on her face was priceless when she saw Belle, Cinderella, Arial, Snow White and Tianna! Carter napped on Evan up on the deck the whole time we were in line. Tonight we had the captains welcome party complete with free drinks and pictures with Mickey. It was also "Fancy Night" so we threatened and made deals with the kids for good behaviour so we could get a nice family picture and enjoy our meal. The result... a lovely picture with Mickey and an enjoyable meal!.
Callie had chicken fingers, Carter had macaroni and cheese and mozza sticks. Evan and I had fried cheese ravioli and New York steak. It was delicious! For dessert Evan had Creme Brule, I had the chocolate celebration, Callie had vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce, Carter had chocolate pudding and Lucia brought a strawberry sundae for us to share. Yum! Tonight was the Golden Mickey's show in the Walt Disney theatre. It was fabulous! Callie loved seeing the princesses and made sure she hid her new Dalmatian from Cruella Deville.
