Silent DJ, hot laps, and late nights


Dinner with Ducks! The kids took their favorite ducks to dinner with them. It was great entertainment :) 


Love these pictures!



Addy had already gone to Kids Club so it was just the 3 of us! 


Just the kids! 


The whole group



We saw Mickey while we were out, so we snagged a photo! This is one of my favorite family pics. 


Just the kids & Mickey


I loved that you didn't feel rushed and they let you take as many photos as you wanted! The cast member even grabbed my phone and took pictures on that too. I loved that there was no pressure to purchase things and you got the same service if you purchased the photo package or not. 

But you can definitely see the difference between my phone and their professional pictures! 


Free drinks during happy hour! Woohoo! While we drank and played a game, the kids ran hot laps. Lots of hot laps! And they hid ducks. 


Addy took a picture of us. She took a break from hot laps to get a drink. 


We ordered room service late afternoon while in the room for a short break. The most time we spent in the room (besides sleeping) was to wait for room service - ha! We didn't even take time to shower some days, there was too much to do! 

The kids' surprise at what we ordered. Chicken strips, fries, uncrustables, and a cheese plate. 


They thought room service was pretty cool (so did we...free room service is great)



Addison's favorite part of boat activities...... Silent Disco! She LOVED this and would spend all night every night there. It was pretty fun. Especially if you didn't wear headphones..... there are some terrible singers in the room. Ha! 

The light up toys were good for this too. The kids were dancing machines! 

Mason and a duck! 



Watching the Fantasia show. This was the Animator's Palate Restaurant where they showed the movies/cartoons being created on the screens around the restaurant. And when your dinner started, the whole restaurant was black and white. Then it slowly transitioned to color as you went through dinner. 

The kids were excited for Mickey at dinner and the performance. 


Ryan's favorite part of dinner each night was dessert of course. This night, he was running Mason to Kid's Club when they took the dessert order. I knew what he wanted of course, but instead ordered him a lemon pie. Knowing he would be severely disappointed. Our waiter, who we had the whole trip, thought this was hilarious. So he brought him the lemon pie. Ryan didn't say anything at first but you could tell he was disappointed. Ha! I told him they must have brought the wrong item, I ordered whatever chocolate thing there was. :) He was quite happy when his real dessert came out (and I ate the lemon pie, it was delicious). 



Parker loved the desserts as much as Ryan :) 

This was the night that Parker volunteered to pick the kids up from Kid's Club around 10:30pm..... he won't make that mistake again! The kids were CRAZY. WILD. INSANE. He couldn't control them. He got them in the elevator and they pushed all the buttons. Then they ran hot laps yelling and screaming. I met Parker in the main lobby, I heard the three kids coming and then Parker followed after. Ha! This night was one of the highlights for the kids. They might have went to bed at midnight, only because we made them! They stayed up super late each night and got up around 7/7:30am each day. Mason napped one day. And they weren't grumpy. That's what Disney does to you I guess! 


Nolan got a Stitch in his fairy dust bag outside his room. 


Mason got Simba and Addison got Minnie! They were so excited. And still talk about when they got their stuffed animals. And every time we see Stitch in a store (which is often), they both remind me that Nolan got a Stitch on the Disney cruise. I love the magic and excited this cruise created for them!!
