Day 2 – Boarding Day!

 

I will admit, it was nice to sleep in and have a somewhat leisurely morning. We all got ready and walked to the food court for waffles!

And someone had this!

My Facebook memory from 5 years ago was so funny! It Mom, Bonnie, Misty and I at Disney exactly 5 years ago! After just getting off the Dream preview cruise! What are the odds?

Waiting for our ride that we hope is coming!

It came! Two hours later than we had asked for it, but it came! Car selfie!

And we’re here!

Checking in!

Do you know how much it pains me to see Open Boarding on the sign? That means they started boarding forever ago and we are not on!

We walked out to see the be-yoo-tiful ship:

We may as well stop for a picture! No one was in line!

I went to check on our Palo reservations and then met everyone in Enchanted Garden. Bonnie was excited!

Movies:

The ice cream balls were no longer ice cream balls, but still yummy!

Nicole and her mom:

My plate pretty much looks exactly like this on the first day of every cruise.

Smile, ladies!

After we ate, the rooms were within a few minutes of opening, so we decided to head there. There were a couple of other people waiting…

Our room:

Our verandah was slightly obstructed which annoyed me. Not that it was bad, just that it wasn’t listed as obstructed:

Hi Nicole! Soon we would open the partitions!

Time to explore!

Nicole was ready for sun!

One of my favorite things to take pictures of! The funnel:

Ice cream stop! Because ice cream.

We stopped in Vanellope’s to admire everything.

The atrium!

Then we toured the kid’s clubs. Nicole and her mom went for a crazy ride.

Disney Infinity:

We were all jealous of the teen club – Vibe:

We sat for a spell in the heated chairs in the spa and tried to win something in the drawings, but no luck!

Adult pool!

Next, we mustered and then went to the Sailaway Party!

Beth and I:

Some of us:

All of us. Mostly. Dang it, Joan!

When we got back to the room, the partitions were open. Yay!

Dinner was in Enchanted Garden:

Somebody always gets this and it’s never me!

I had steak, of course!

After a delicious dinner, we went to the show and shopped!

Best hat ever!

And after a long, fun filled day, we slept!
