Disney Cruise 2011.....Day 2 & 3

On our way down to Mexico we had two Sea Days on the boat.  These were a lot of fun, although I did not take that many pictures of the things we did.  The kids spent time at their clubs.  The boys absolutely loved their clubs and seriously wanted to be there at all times.  The clubs are open from about 9am to Midnight.  I truly could have left the boys in their that whole time and they would have been in heaven.  I did not do that, however, I had them with us during meals and family activities and then they did a lot of the club stuff when their was down time (cora's nap time mostly, and in between activities).  I am glad the boys had a fun place to go.  Cora was also able to go to the clubs with the boys.  However, she was not really into it.  So maybe went a total of 3-4 hours over the seven days.  I think a lot of the problem was that their was so much going on in the clubs that the boys would not give her the time of day.  Sad.  So we had our little Cora with us most of the time.
     The activities we did during these sea days included....cooking class (Mom and I, Watching Sports (Thad and Skip), games, taking the kids to the pool/ Splash pad, Daytime shows, Spa tour/ Spa Treatment, etc. etc.
 I think Disney is great with all of their entertainment.

Character Breakfast
The character breakfast was a blast.  All the characters come around to the tables for pictures, autographs, and to see everyone.  We got all three of the kids an autograph book.  They loved getting all of the characters to sign their books.  During breakfast the wait staff makes crazy hats for everyone.  You can see  a few of them in the pictures below.  I love the one with Ciara and Cora with their bows.  Ciara is loving hers while on the other hand Cora is hating it.  To funny.

Dinner
     So we had nice sit down dinners every night on the boat.  These dinners greatly contributed to my weight gain.  They were way yummy.  I always have a thing with the appetizers and have to order a few of them, then you add the main course and dessert and wow that is a ton of food.
     The kids had a definite favorite for dessert (okay Grandpa even loved these).  They were chocolate covered mickeys on a stick.  To make them even better they put sprinkles and multi colored marshmallows on top.  Here are a few pictures of Cora and Jace enjoying their Mickeys on a stick.

Shows
      The night time shows were my absolute favorite thing on the Disney ship.  They do such a good job with their Broadway shows.  On our two sea days we watched the shows Disney Dreams and The Golden Mickeys.
