The cruise ship
Finally the long awaited cruise happened and we came back with only one casualty…. lost our Minnie water bottle!
Going on board
Our ride
Finally it is happening!
PROFESSIONAL SHOTS WITH RAPUNZEL
===== ===== ===== =====
On departure day, we managed to score the last parking spot at Aces as we had to leave the car somewhere “safe”! That in itself was a good omen to start our holiday!
We waited at Hobsons by Station Pier with our luggage sipping latte n stuffing our faces with brunch whilst Ray parked the car. All smooth sailing on land so far, and we boarded the Disney Wonder on time!!! IYKYK (Ray is always late!)
Yupz… that’s US!
The fine details
Girls getting settled down
Just Chilling
On board we checked into our suite and settled in for a bit before we joined all the other passengers on deck for the “evacuation drill”.
All da way down to “P” area
EVACUATION DRILL BRIEFING
Once over, it was free play for anything and everything on board. We checked the girls into the kiddies club to initiate and let them get a taste of what fun lies ahead for them for next two days!
2 days stay may sound short, but in my honest opinion, I believe it is just the right amount of time, otherwise the girls might melt down due to sensory overload!!! Parents might also burn out?!? not to mention spend more $$$?!?
Happening mid Deck 9
Lovely sunset
We were lucky our suite was 8060 so it’s centrally located to most outdoor activities.
LET THE FUN BEGIN
Sail a Wave Party
Girls were overwhelmed!!!
Cheers to some good times
Beginning with the “Sail a Wave” party to kick start the holiday, other highlights would be the Bibidi Bobidi Boo Boutique experience where the girls get to pick their outfit, get manicure, hair and make up done aka princess makeover… The Frozen Show… The Walt Disney Fairytales Performance… The Super Heroes ReUnite with fireworks display. Unfortunately no photography allowed at Shows!
Ray covered in snow!
The anticipation that kept the girls spirits high throughout was knowing that they are both booked for BBB and it was all well worth the wait! You should have seen their excitement!! It’s an hours pamper session but here are only a few pixs .
The BBB Boutique Princess Make-Over begins ….
ANIMATORS PALATE
Out of this world kewl dinner at Animator’s Palate where we drew our own sketch on special paper provided and they got complied into a movie and we got to see our drawing come alive on screen!
SUPER HEROES REUNITE/FIREWORKS DISPLAY
We were not going to go crazy and fit in everything so we filled in the day with more relaxing activities like swimming or going for drawing classes before our “big” main event planned for the day. The pace was fast but our
girls handled the day well with no melt downs. They were just happy to go with the flow which suited the adults!
Sleep time was also exciting for E n S as turndown service left us with an elephant and frog (towel art) plus chocolates and bunk beds… yassss! I guess a fun filled-day also knocked them out like a flash!
If it was not activities, it was food! Luckily, the Captain’s motto for us on this cruise is “Whatever you see, just eat it!”
In a nutshell… it was a “success” n everyone had a good time. Personally, I am not keen on cruising, but this was really something different and have to give Disney some credit because “dreams do come true” for most peeps on this cruise!
Don’t just dream it…make it happen and DO it!!!
My girls were transformed into Princesses!!!
