Disney Merrytime Cruise - Day 1

12/21/2019 9:45 am

Every wanted to sleep in this morning after a busy day and a long fun night but the stormy night made for a restless sleep for me. I got up early and explored ship. It was so quiet, and still dark outside.

The ship was rocking and rolling this morning.

I went to the upper deck to get coffee and almost slipped and did the splits on my way inside.  An old man was sitting with friends and saw it. He saw that I was okay and then said, "I give it a 9.5". It was pretty funny. I wonder if they are veteran cruisers who know all the good people watching spots.   

  We went to the Disney Junior character breakfast.  It was fun but The Impossibe Girl was super tired. 

She met Vampirina (high five), Pluto (high five), Goofy (hug!), and Fancy Nancy. We rested back in our room and sat on the Verandah while finishing some coffee. 

1:35pm

Today we had an early lunch of 'deck food' - Pizza (My sailor loves me and ordered a special gluten free pepperoni pizza for me.) 

My little shutter bugs. My Sailor taking a photo of The Impossible Girl taking a photo of the Gingerbread house in the Atrium.

We used the chocolate chip cookies from one stand to make ice cream sandwiches. The Impossible girl prefered her ice cream (strawberry) in a cone. I prefered the mango ice cream. 

 The day turned out beautiful. The Impossible girl loved meeting the princesses. She met Belle (in her beautiful holiday gown), Cinderella, Ariel, and Tiana.

All dressed up like Anna from Frozen II and ready to go! 

 No tears were shed this time when she went into the Kids Club to go play after lunch. She couldn't wait! It gave My Sailor and I a chance to walk around the adults only part of the ship and have a specialty coffee (shared - the prices are similiar or cheaper than Starbucks).

Next we are going to pick up The Impossible Girl and head to a Frozen Gathering. While the pools look like a lot of fun, I think we are saving that for a different day.

The Impossible Girl was exhausted so the Frozen Gathering was a bust. We all went to see The Golden Mickeys show and  LOVED it, depsite the cheesey premise. Everyone was so talented and Disney did an amazing job of color-blind, size inclusive  casting! It was fabulous. 

We went to Tiana's Place for dinner and had a great time to start - we met Tiana and Louise but The Impossible Girl couldn't take the noise and was very tired, so we went back to the room. My Sailor brought our food from the restruant (which as saddly disappointing) and we had room service desserts. 

It wasn't what we had planned, but the Gala was fun and I really enjoyed the bits of downtime connecting with My Sailor.
