THE DESSERT BUFFET. I NEVER KNEW HOW POPULAR AND COMMONPLACE THE LATE NIGHT DESSERT BUFFET IS ON CRUISE SHIPS. IT SEEMED KIND OF SURPRISING AND ODD TO ME WHEN I FIRST HEARD ABOUT IT. MAYBE IT'S THAT KIND OF ODDITY THAT MAKES IT SO POPULAR. I MEAN I'VE SEEN PEOPLE ON DISCUSSION BOARDS TRYING TO FIND OUT EXACTLY WHAT'S ON THESE LATE NIGHT BUFFETS.
I GUESS OVER TIME THEY'VE CHANGED FROM FULL HEAVY BUFFET MENUS TO LIGHTER FINGER FOODS TO PRIMARILY DESSERTS. I'M SURE IT ALSO VARIES OVER TIME AND SPECIFIC SITUATIONS, WHETHER IT'S TIME OF YEAR OR WHAT'S HANDY OR EXPECTED OR NEEDED AT THE TIME. EITHER WAY IT'S PRETTY DARN POPULAR.
WHAT I FIND MOST ODD IS THAT SOME PEOPLE, MANY IN FACT, WILL HAVE JUST FINISHED A 2 HOUR MEAL IN THEIR SCHEDULED DINING ROOM OR IN ONE OF THE FORMAL DINING ROOM LIKE PALO OR REMY, AND ARE STILL NOW READY TO SADDLE UP TO ANOTHER STUFFING OF FILLING DESSERTS.
TO DISNEY'S CREDIT, THIS BUFFET IS OFFERED ON PIRATE NIGHT AFTER THE FIREWORKS WHEN MOST PEOPLE ARE NOT ONLY STILL UP, BUT ALREADY ON DECK NEAR THE BUFFET. AND IT'S THEMED BEAUTIFULLY AROUND THE WHOLE PIRATE NIGHT BOTH IN DECORATION AND IN FOOD DISPLAYS. I'M SURE, DESPITE THE HOUR, SOME OF THE COOKS AND ARTISANS REALLY ENJOY SHOWING OFF THEIR CULINARY TALENTS FOR A SHOW AND TELL LIKE THIS.
THE FOODS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE CREATIVE AND SECOND TO NONE AS WELL. I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH I'D BE CRAVING SUGARS AT 11:00 AT NIGHT, BUT I'VE ALREADY PROMISED MY SON THAT I'D TAKE HIM AND HE COULD HAVE WHATEVER HE WANTED. I MEAN, COME ON. THE KID NORMALLY GOES TO BED AT 8PM. IF HE CAN MAKE IT TO 11PM FOR THE FIREWORKS, HE'S EARNED A TRIP TO SUGAR HEAVEN. HE'S ALREADY VOLUNTEERING TO TAKE A NAP AFTER COMING BACK FROM CASTAWAY CAY BEFORE DINNER SO HE WON'T BE TOO TIRED. WHAT KID VOLUNTEERS TO TAKE A NAP?! PLUS, THE NEXT DAY IS AN "AT SEA" DAY, AND I TOLD HIM HE COULD SPEND MOST OF THE DAY IN THE KIDS CLUBS, SO HE DOESN'T REALLY HAVE TO GET UP EARLY, SO WHY NOT ENJOY A RARE LATE NIGHT. AND YOU SHOULD TOO. AFTER ALL, YOU'RE ON VACATION!
SEA YA REAL SOON! ºOº
TONIGHT'S MOVIE IS "DINOSAUR". THE GRAPHICS IN THIS MOVIE ARE PHENOMENAL! MY SON IS A DINOSAUR FANATIC. HE WANTS TO BE A DR. WHEN HE GROWS UP, BUT HE'D LIKE TO BE A PALEONTOLOGIST TOO. ONE MAKES GREAT MONEY. THE OTHER MAKES DIRT. LITERALLY. lol WHICH WAY DO YOU THINK I'M LEANING? SAD PART IS, HE ALREADY KNOWS MORE ABOUT DINOSAURS THAN MOST ADULTS. UGH.

MONDAY APRIL 11, 2011
PIRATE NIGHT. MANY CRUISES HAVE MANY DIFFERENT THEMED NIGHTS. ON THE DISNEY DREAM, AND THE CLASSIC SHIPS AS WELL ACTUALLY, IT'S PIRATE NIGHT. THE DREAM ALSO HAS AN OPTIONAL DRESS-UP NIGHT, BUT THE BIG THEMED NIGHT IS PIRATES. NO SURPRISE REALLY WITH THE SUCCESS OF THE THREE "PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN" MOVIES AND THE FOURTH COMING OUT THIS MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND.
THE SHIP DOCKS AT DISNEY'S PRIVATE ISLAND, CASTAWAY CAY, ON PIRATE NIGHT, SO IT CAN ALSO CONTROL THE THEMING FOR THE ENTIRE DAY, ON-BOARD AND OFF, THIS WAY. FROM THE OUTFITS THE CHARACTERS ARE WEARING THROUGHOUT THE DAY AND INTO THE NIGHT TO THE THEMES FOR THE KIDS ACTIVITIES, GAME SHOWS, AND ENTERTAINMENT, EVERYTHING GOES PIRATE.
THIS IS THE ONE NIGHT THAT ALL THE DINING ROOMS OFFER THE SAME PIRATE THEMED MENU, DIFFERENT THAN THAT WHICH CAN BE FOUND IN YOUR PARTICULAR DINING ROOM ON ANY OTHER NIGHT. AS A MATTER OF FACT, THIS WHY YOU REPEAT WHATEVER DINING ROOM YOU'RE HAVING DINNER IN ON PIRATE NIGHT SO YOU WILL GET THE PIRATE NIGHT MENU AND THAT RESTAURANT'S SIGNATURE MENU AS WELL.
WHAT DISNEY ALSO SUGGESTS IS THAT YOU, AND EVERYONE ELSE, DRESS UP IN YOUR BEST PIRATE GEAR FOR THE NIGHT, AND BOY DO SOME PEOPLE DRESS UP. AS YOU MIGHT EXPECT, SOME PEOPLE DON'T DRESS UP AT ALL, BUT MOST ACTUALLY DO TO SOME EXTENT. DISNEY EVEN GOES AS FAR AS TO LEAVE A DISNEY CRUISE LINE "PIRATES IN THE CARIBBEAN" BANDANNA FOR EACH PERSON STAYING IN EACH STATEROOM ON THEIR BEDS AT EVENING TURN DOWN.
AH BUT THERE'S MORE. THE DISNEY DREAM NOW HAS TWO PIRATE STAGE SHOWS ON DECK, ONE AFTER THE FIRST DINNER SEATING, AND ONE AFTER THE SECOND. THE FIRST IS MICKEY'S PIRATE PARTY AND IS GEARED TOWARD THE LITTLER KIDS (OR KID IN ALL OF US) BEFORE IT'S PAST THEIR BED TIME. THEN THERE IS A COUPLE HOUR BREAK BEFORE THE NEXT PIRATE DECK SHOW FEATURING CAPTAIN JACK SPARROW AND IS A LITTLE MORE ADULT. THE WHOLE THING IS HOSTED BY A DIGITAL SKULL AND CROSSBONES ON THE FUNNEL VISION SCREEN WHO CALLS HIMSELF JOLLY ROGER AND SERVES AS THE MC LEADING UP TO THE FIREWORKS. THAT'S RIGHT. I SAID FIREWORKS. AROUND 10:30PM DISNEY SHOOTS OFF FIREWORKS TO MUSIC FROM BOTH FUNNELS OUT OVER THE OCEAN. THEY ARE THE ONLY CRUISE LINE IN THE WORLD WITH THE LEGAL RIGHT TO DO SO, AND EVEN THOUGH IT'S LESS OF A SPECTACLE THAN AT THE THEME PARKS, MOST SAY THE SIGHT IS FANTASTIC. IT'S ALL EVEN FOLLOWED UP WITH A TOP DECK DANCE PARTY AND SOME INTERACTIVE GAMES. SO PACK YOUR PIRATE GEAR MATEY, WE DID!
SEA YA REAL SOON!
TONIGHT'S MOVIES ARE "THE TIGGER MOVIE" & "TOY STORY 2". I LOVE TIGGER MORE THAN ANY CHARACTER, AND I PERSONALLY THINK THE TOY STORY TRILOGY HOLDS UP TO THE GODFATHERS! SO BIG NIGHT FOR ME! lol

CHEAP SOUVENIRS. PEOPLE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE THIS ONE OUT FOR AN ETERNITY. HOW DO YOU TAKE A FAMILY ON VACATION WITHOUT SPENDING A FORTUNE ON SOUVENIRS AS WELL. THE TRIP IS A BIG ENOUGH EXPENSE, BUT MAKING SURE YOU DON'T BREAK ANYONE'S HEART AND NOT BREAK THE BANK TOO IS A DELICATE BALANCE.
I'VE ALWAYS BEEN IN FAVOR OF SHOPPING FOR SOUVENIRS FOR KIDS BEFORE EVER TRAVELING AT ALL, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO DISNEY. I'VE BOUGHT THINGS AHEAD OF TIME AT THE DISNEY STORE, KMART, WALMART, TARGET, DOLLAR STORES, AND TONS FROM EBAY.
BY PLANNING AHEAD, OR AT LEAST LOOKING AROUND EARLY, YOU INCREASE YOUR CHOICES. REMEMBER, THERE'S A LIMITED AMOUNT OF CHOICES ON A CRUISE SHIP, BECAUSE THERE'S A MUCH MORE LIMITED AMOUNT OF SPACE. AND THERE'S CERTAINLY NO GUARANTEE YOU'RE GOING TO LIKE WHAT YOU FIND. DESIGNS CHANGE ON CRUISE SHIPS JUST LIKE THEY DO IN THE FASHION WORLD. YOU MAY LOVE ONE YEAR'S LOOK AND HATE THE NEXT. THERE'S JUST NO TELLING. SO BY LOOKING AROUND IN ADVANCE YOU'LL HAVE A GREATER CHOICE AND BE ABLE TO SHOP MORE FOR WHAT YOU KNOW YOUR FAMILY OR FRIENDS WILL LIKE. PLUS YOU CAN PLAN MORE FOR THE SPACE YOU'LL NEED IN YOUR LUGGAGE FOR BOTH THE WAY THERE AND THE WAY BACK.
ANOTHER OVERLOOKED CHEAP VACATION SOUVENIR IS WHAT YOU FIND ALL AROUND YOU. WHAT IN PARTICULAR? EVERYTHING. WE'RE ALL CONSTANTLY SAYING "IT'S THE LITTLE THINGS THAT COUNT". WELL IT IS. PICK UP NAPKINS FROM EVERYWHERE YOU GO. COLLECT MATCHBOOKS OR CUPS & STRAWS, MENUS, YOUR PERSONAL NAVIGATORS, AND TAKE LOTS OF PICTURES. MAKE LOTS OF FRIENDS AND GET NAMES AND ADDRESSES. TAKE PART IN ACTIVITIES AND FILM AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, EVEN IF IT'S NOT YOU, SHARE IN SOME DISNEY CHARACTER MOMENTS. NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU MAY TRY, IT'LL BE THESE SILLY, LAUGHABLE MOMENTS THAT YOU REMEMBER FOREVER. IT'S THE LITTLE THINGS THAT COUNT.
SEA YA REAL SOON! ºOº
TODAY'S MOVIES ARE "A BUG'S LIFE" (HILARIOUS. ANOTHER PIXAR SUCCESS), "TARZAN" (WHICH STILL MAKES ME CRY LIKE A BABY. IT HAS MY SON'S AND MY SONG IN IT, SO IT'S A REAL FAMILY FILM FOR US), AND "FANTASIA 2000" (AS GOOD AS THE ORIGINAL IN IT'S OWN WAYS, BUT NOTHING BEATS MICKEY IN THE SORCERER'S APPRENTICE!).

SEND YOURSELF POSTCARDS AT HOME. ONE OF THE NICE LITTLE SURPRISES IN TAKING DISNEY VACATIONS IS GETTING MAIL FROM THEM. WHETHER IT'S CONFIRMATIONS OR TRAVEL BOOKS OR GUIDES OR DVD'S, OR JUST THE LATEST PROMO. IT'S JUST ONE MORE THING TO LOOK FORWARD TO AND ENJOY RECEIVING.
SO WHY NOT PLAN AHEAD, OR EVEN ON THE SPOT, AND MAIL YOURSELF SOMETHING FROM YOUR VACATION. YOU'LL BE LEAVING FROM PORT CANAVERAL, FLORIDA. WHY NOT SEND SOMETHING FROM THERE? YOUR FIRST STOP WILL BE NASSAU, BAHAMAS. WHY NOT MAIL SOMETHING FROM THERE? THEN OF COURSE THERE'S DISNEY'S PRIVATE ISLAND, CASTAWAY CAY. DID YOU KNOW CASTAWAY CAY HAS IT'S OWN POST OFFICE?
YOU SEE WHERE I'M GOING WITH THIS. I'VE NEVER BEEN MUCH OF A POSTCARD PERSON. I ALWAYS FELT LIKE MAILING POSTCARDS, OR EVEN LETTERS, TO PEOPLE WHILE YOU'RE ON VACATION WAS JUST RUBBING IT IN THAT YOU'RE ON VACATION SOMEWHERE AND THEY'RE NOT. BUT I LOVE THE IDEA OF SENDING YOURSELF SOME MAIL. IT'S JUST ONE MORE SOUVENIR AND IT ARRIVES MUCH LATER AFTER YOUR CRUISE IS OVER, AND YOU DON'T KNOW WHEN. WHAT A NICE SURPRISE FOR THE PRICE OF CHEAP POSTCARD AND STAMP.
NOW SOME PEOPLE DO HAVE PEOPLE THEY HAVE TO, OR PREFER TO, SEND POSTCARDS TO WHILE ON VACATION AND NEED TO STOCK UP WHILE ON-BOARD OR IN PORT TO DO SO. SO DON'T FORGET YOUR ADDRESS BOOK OR PRINT OUT ADDRESS LABELS FOR WHEN YOU GET YOUR CARDS TO PUT THEM ON. THERE'LL BE PLENTY OF CARDS TO CHOOSE FROM ON THE SHIP AS WELL AS IN EVERY PORT YOU STOP IN. JUST BE SURE TO FIND OUT WHERE YOU HAVE TO MAIL THEM FROM AND HOW MUCH IT'LL COST YOU IN TIME, SO YOU'RE NOT STUCK AT THE LAST MINUTE.
BE PREPARED TO WAIT TOO. SOME REPORTS HAVE CARDS AND LETTERS TAKING 30 TO 60 DAYS TO ARRIVE FROM BAHAMIAN AND CARIBBEAN PORTS BACK TO THE UNITED STATES.
I HAVE A SELECTION OF A FEW DIFFERENT THEMED CARDS THAT I'M PLANNING ON GETTING SIGNED BY DIFFERENT CHARACTERS AND ADDRESSED TO MY SON SO HE'LL FEEL MORE SINGLED OUT AND THE CARDS WILL FEEL EVEN MORE PERSONALIZED WHEN THEY ARRIVE. BE CREATIVE. DO WHAT FEELS RIGHT. SEND GRANDPARENTS CARDS FROM THEIR GRAND KIDS OR FRIENDS AND FAMILY CARDS FROM DISNEY CHARACTERS. HAVE FUN WITH IT!
SEA YA REAL SOON! ºOº
TODAY MY SON'S MOVIE FEST INCLUDED "POOH'S GRAND ADVENTURE" (LOVE TIGGER!), "MULAN" (YAWN), AND "THE SPIRIT OF MICKEY" (A MIX OF MICKEY CLASSICS).

VOLUNTEER, BE SEEN, LIVE IT UP. SO MANY ARE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING FOR NOTHING WHEN ON VACATION BECAUSE THEY'VE ALREADY SPENT SO MUCH JUST TO BE THERE. WELL ONE OF THE FEW KNOWN WAYS OF GETTING A LITTLE EXTRA IS TO BE AT THE FOREFRONT. WHAT DO I MEAN? ALL ACTIVITIES ARE RUN BY DISNEY CAST MEMBERS. AND THE MOTIVATION OF THESE CAST MEMBERS IS ALWAYS TO MAKE SURE THAT EACH AND EVERY PERSON INVOLVED IS HAVING AS MUCH FUN AS POSSIBLE.
BE IN THE FRONT OF THE CROWD. GET YOUR HAND UP. VOLUNTEER. DON'T WORRY ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE VOLUNTEERING FOR, JUST VOLUNTEER. BE PREPARED TO ACT OR LOOK SILLY, SING A SONG, OR DO A DANCE. PLAY A GAME. BE PART OF A TEAM. ANSWER SOME QUESTIONS, RIGHT OR WRONG. WHAT FEW PEOPLE KNOW IS THAT JUST FOR TAKING PART IN SOME OF THESE ACTIVITIES OR GAMES IS THAT THERE'S USUALLY SOME SORT OF PRIZE JUST FOR PARTICIPATING.
THERE MAY BE FREE DRINKS FOR ATTENDING ADULT ACTIVITIES OR ART AUCTIONS. IF YOU ATTEND A DISNEY VACATION CLUB SEMINAR, YOU WILL NOT ONLY GET SOME SORT OF GIFT, BUT HAVE A CHANCE AT A VERY LARGE ON-BOARD CREDIT. THERE ARE OBVIOUS REWARDS FOR PLAYING BINGO THAT INCREASE AS THE CRUISE GOES ON AND THE FAMILY GAME SHOWS ALL HAVE REWARDS FOR TAKING PART.
THERE ARE OPTIONS WHILE ON DISNEY'S PRIVATE ISLAND, CASTAWAY CAY AS WELL, ESPECIALLY FOR THE KIDS. THE KIDS CLUBS ON-BOARD USUALLY CLOSE WHILE IN PORT AT CASTAWAY CAY AND MOVE ON TO THE ISLAND TO SCUTTLE'S COVE. THEY DO ALL KINDS OF ACTIVITIES THERE AND CAN WIN THINGS JUST FOR ATTENDING. THERE ARE ALSO BEACH PARTIES AND CHARACTER DANCES ON SHORE FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY.
THE BOTTOM LINE IS, IF YOU DON'T ATTEND OR TAKE PART, YOU'LL NEVER KNOW WHAT LITTLE SURPRISE YOU COULD HAVE WON. SO JUMP IN WITH BOTH FEET!
SEA YA REAL SOON! ºOº
TONIGHT'S MOVIE IS "HERCULES". I ACTUALLY MADE A POINT OF WATCHING THIS ONE AGAIN CAREFULLY AS THE CHARACTERS "HADES, PAIN AND PANIC" FROM THE MOVIE STAR IN THE DREAM'S STAGE SHOW "VILLAINS TONIGHT".

CREATE YOUR OWN CHEAP EXCURSIONS. HAVE YOU SEEN THE PRICES FOR THE DISNEY CRUISE LINE'S SHORE EXCURSIONS OR "PORT ADVENTURES"? THEY'RE INSANE!
LET ME GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE. THE ATLANTIS CASINO RESORT IN NASSAU, BAHAMAS HAS A FAIRLY NEW WATER PARK. IT'S PRETTY BIG AND PRETTY COOL. LOTS OF LOST CITY OF ATLANTIS TYPE THEMING AND SLIDES THAT ACTUALLY GO THROUGH AND AROUND ATLANTIS' HUGE AQUARIUM AND SHARK TANKS AND THE LIKE. IT'S BECOME QUITE THE DRAW FOR THOSE VISITING THE RESORT OR JUST THE ISLAND FOR THAT MATTER. WELL DISNEY RUNS A SHORE EXCURSION TO ATLANTIS THAT INCLUDES THE ABILITY TO TOUR THE AQUARIUM AND USE THE WATER PARK. IT ALSO INCLUDES YOUR RIDE TO THE RESORT AND BACK AND A SMALL LUNCH. GUESS HOW MUCH? $169 PER ADULT AND $115 PER CHILD!
IF MY SON AND I WERE TO GO TO THIS WATER PARK WE'D BE LOOKING AT ALMOST $300 FOR MAYBE 5 HOURS. YOU'D HAVE TO SEE THE AQUARIUM NO MATTER HOW FAST YOU TRIED TO GET IT IN, LEAVING YOU ABOUT HALF A DAY FOR THE WATER PARK . . . FOR $300. I LIVE NEAR THE BEACH AND WATER PARKS, BIG AND SMALL, ARE PRETTY PLENTIFUL. I TOOK MY SON TO A PRETTY BIG, AND ENTERTAINING, WATER PARK ON THE BOARDWALK IN WILDWOOD, NEW JERSEY. WE DROVE THE 45 MINUTES EACH WAY BACK AND FORTH, PARKED IN A PRIVATE LOT, HAD LUNCH THERE (THAT WE PACKED), SPENT 8 HOURS THERE AND GOT FREE SUNTAN LOTION TO BOOT. HOW MUCH? LESS THAN $50 . . . TOTAL . . . INCLUDING GAS AND TOLLS. SO NO MATTER HOW MANY SHARK TANKS WE SLIDE THROUGH, IT'S HARD FOR ME TO RATIONALIZE $300 NOW FOR A WATER PARK FOR HALF A DAY. UNFORTUNATELY, A LOT OF SHORE EXCURSIONS THAT ARE SET UP FOR YOU ARE THE SAME WAY. YOU'RE REALLY PAYING JUST FOR THE CONVENIENCE AND NOT MUCH ELSE.
DO A LITTLE RESEARCH AND SET UP AN EXCURSION YOURSELF. THE SAME WATER PARK EXCURSION CAN BE DONE FOR LESS BY BOOKING A ROOM AT A COMFORT INN ACROSS THE STREET FROM ATLANTIS THAT GETS ACCESS TO THEIR WATER PARK. OTHER EXCURSIONS ARE THE SAME. INSTEAD OF PAYING FOR A TOUR. WALK TO THE END OF YOUR DOCK AND PAY SOMEONE, A LOT LESS, TO TAKE YOU WHERE YOU WANT TO GO. DISNEY HAS TO GET THEIR CUT, PLUS THE TRANSPORTERS, THE END DESTINATION OR TOUR GUIDES, ETC. IF YOU CUT OUT THE MIDDLE MAN, YOU WILL SAVE YOURSELF A LOT OF MONEY AND BE ABLE TO CONTROL YOUR EXCURSION A LOT MORE YOURSELF. DO YOU THINK THE PEOPLE HUSTLING FOR YOUR BUCK IN A PORT ARE GOING TO MIND YOU NOT TAKING THE DISNEY TOUR? HECK NO. THEY'RE NOT INVOLVED. THEY'LL BE HAPPY AS HECK THAT YOU'RE CONSIDERING THEM AND WILL BE WILLING TO BARGAIN AS WELL. IF YOU HAVE A GENERAL IDEA OF WHAT THINGS COST IN PORT YOU'LL ALREADY HAVE A HEAD START. PRICE TAXIS OR TOURS. DESTINATIONS OR MUSEUMS AND HIRE SOMEONE FOR THE DAY. YOUR WALLET MAY JUST THANK YOU FOR IT!

HOW MANY OF YOU LIKE TO SLEEP IN ON VACATION? I RARELY GET TO SLEEP IN CAUSE MY SON WAKES ME UP BY 7AM EVERYDAY, BUT I WOULD LOVE TO . . . BUT NOT ON VACATION, AT LEAST NOT ON A DISNEY VACATION. GET UP AND GET OUT!
I'D SAY EVEN AT THE PARKS YOU SHOULD GET UP EARLY AND GET THERE, BUT ESPECIALLY IS MORE LIKE IT. IF YOU'RE A LATE SLEEPER DID YOU KNOW THAT FOR THAT FIRST COUPLE HOURS THE PARK IS OPEN THE LINES ARE LESS, FAR LESS, THAN THEY WILL BE THE ENTIRE REST OF THE DAY? WELL WHY WOULD YOU THINK IT WOULD BE ANY DIFFERENT ON YOUR CRUISE? REMEMBER, THIS IS A DISNEY CRUISE TOO. THERE MAY BE A LIMITED AMOUNT OF PEOPLE COMPARED TO THE PARKS, BUT THEY'RE ALL THERE PRETTY MUCH FOR THE SAME REASON.
PLUS, PEOPLE TAKE CRUISES FOR THE ATMOSPHERE. THAT ATMOSPHERE RARELY INCLUDES HIDING IN YOUR ROOM. LET'S FACE IT, EVEN THOUGH DISNEY CRUISE LINE'S STATEROOMS ARE SOME OF THE BIGGEST ON THE SEAS, THEY'RE STILL SMALL COMPARED TO A HOTEL ROOM, AND WHO WANTS TO SPEND THEIR VACATION IN A HOTEL ROOM?
CHECK YOUR PERSONAL NAVIGATOR FOR THE NEXT DAY, THE NIGHT BEFORE. SEE IF THERE'S SOMETHING YOU'D LIKE TO SEE OR DO EARLY. MAKE SURE YOU GET TO BREAKFAST EARLY ENOUGH TO BE DONE IN TIME TO GET TO IT. EARLY ENOUGH TO DROP THE KIDS AT THE KIDS CLUBS FOR SOMETHING THEY MAY LIKE CLOSE TO OPENING. EARLY ENOUGH TO BE GETTING OFF THE BOAT CLOSE TO "ALL ASHORE" TIME. CROWDS ARE SMALLER GETTING OFF OF THE BOAT EARLIER COMPARED TO LATER NO MATTER WHAT THE PORT. OR JUST GET TO THE POOL EARLIER AFTER BREAKFAST. I DON'T KNOW WHETHER YOU'VE ALREADY HEARD OR NOT, BUT THE POOLS ON CRUISE SHIPS, ESPECIALLY THE NEW DISNEY DREAM, ARE PACKED LIKE SARDINES WITH BARELY A LOUNGE CHAIR TO BE FOUND BY MIDDAY.
SO UNLESS MOST, OR NONE OF THESE THINGS MATTER AT ALL, SACRIFICE. GET UP EARLY AND GET OUT. IF YOU HAVE KIDS WITH YOU ON THIS TRIP, UNLESS THEY'RE THE ONES THAT ARE ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE TO GET OUT OF BED IN THE MORNING, THEY'LL BE THE ONES THANKING YOU FOR GETTING UP AND OUT TO SEE SO MUCH OF WHAT YOU MIGHT OTHERWISE MISS!

WELL WHY WOULD YOU THINK IT WOULD BE ANY DIFFERENT ON YOUR CRUISE? REMEMBER, THIS IS A DISNEY CRUISE TOO. THERE MAY BE A LIMITED AMOUNT OF PEOPLE COMPARED TO THE PARKS, BUT THEY'RE ALL THERE PRETTY MUCH FOR THE SAME REASON.
PLUS, PEOPLE TAKE CRUISES FOR THE ATMOSPHERE. THAT ATMOSPHERE RARELY INCLUDES HIDING IN YOUR ROOM. LET'S FACE IT, EVEN THOUGH DISNEY CRUISE LINE'S STATEROOMS ARE SOME OF THE BIGGEST ON THE SEAS, THEY'RE STILL SMALL COMPARED TO A HOTEL ROOM, AND WHO WANTS TO SPEND THEIR VACATION IN A HOTEL ROOM?
CHECK YOUR PERSONAL NAVIGATOR FOR THE NEXT DAY, THE NIGHT BEFORE. SEE IF THERE'S SOMETHING YOU'D LIKE TO SEE OR DO EARLY. MAKE SURE YOU GET TO BREAKFAST EARLY ENOUGH TO BE DONE IN TIME TO GET TO IT. EARLY ENOUGH TO DROP THE KIDS AT THE KIDS CLUBS FOR SOMETHING THEY MAY LIKE CLOSE TO OPENING. EARLY ENOUGH TO BE GETTING OFF THE BOAT CLOSE TO "ALL ASHORE" TIME. CROWDS ARE SMALLER GETTING OFF OF THE BOAT EARLIER COMPARED TO LATER NO MATTER WHAT THE PORT. OR JUST GET TO THE POOL EARLIER AFTER BREAKFAST. I DON'T KNOW WHETHER YOU'VE ALREADY HEARD OR NOT, BUT THE POOLS ON CRUISE SHIPS, ESPECIALLY THE NEW DISNEY DREAM, ARE PACKED LIKE SARDINES WITH BARELY A LOUNGE CHAIR TO BE FOUND BY MIDDAY.
SO UNLESS MOST, OR NONE OF THESE THINGS MATTER AT ALL, SACRIFICE. GET UP EARLY AND GET OUT. IF YOU HAVE KIDS WITH YOU ON THIS TRIP, UNLESS THEY'RE THE ONES THAT ARE ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE TO GET OUT OF BED IN THE MORNING, THEY'LL BE THE ONES THANKING YOU FOR GETTING UP AND OUT TO SEE SO MUCH OF WHAT YOU MIGHT OTHERWISE MISS!
SEA YA REAL SOON! ºOº
TONIGHT'S MOVIE IS "JAMES AND THE GIANT PEACH".
