DAY AT SEA
Our final full day on the Dream. I love the sea days on Disney Cruise Line. They always have so many activities planned, and it makes the time extremely enjoyable. I started the day by joining my sister and her husband at one of the dining room restaurants for breakfast. These are my favorite places to eat. The reason for this is that you are seated at a table, and, while the breakfast is served buffet style, the crowds are just not present in these restaurants. This makes for a more relaxing experience as they are not as crowded.
After breakfast I perused the stores on Deck 4. I like to look for unique gifts for the children in the family, and, I was able to snatch up a couple items to give to our nieces for their birthdays. Then it was off to watch the diaper dash!
This event is so much fun to watch. The children on board who are still crawling compete in Jack Jack’s Diaper Dash. There are usually quite a few kids who take part in the race. It is so cute to see them “race” to the finish line. After a few first rounds the winners move on to the final heat to see who is the fastest crawler. Very cute.
This event was followed by the character dance party in the atrium. Being a Disney fan I enjoy seeing the character events which are held on the ship. My kids are getting older so they are not as interested in standing in line to see the characters but they enjoy these events as well.
That was a wrap for the morning. After lunch, I went to the theater and watched Moana. I really enjoyed this movie. Unfortunately, since this was our last full day on the ship I had to spend some time in the afternoon in our stateroom packing our suitcases. While I was doing the packing, I finished watching Sully which was showing on demand on our stateroom television. (I had watched bits and pieces of it during the previous days). I enjoyed this movie as well.
Our youngest son wanted to get some ice cream from Vanellope’s Sweets & Treats which was a big hit. (FYI, items in this store cost extra money and are not included in the cruise price). He also went to the Mickey 200. Teams of kids and at least one adult pick a Disney theme and design a cart out of a potato and a carrot. Our son was not able to participate because it required you to sign up earlier in the week, and, we hadn’t. However, he had a good time watching what the teams came up with and watching them race their inventions.
The final evening was spent at the theater again watching Disney’s Believe. I have seen this production previously as it is shown on the Disney Fantasy as well. And it was just as good as I remembered it.
And just like that our Disney vacation was winding up to a close!
