Disney Cruise

Finally we are on the cruise...the kids were so excited to see the Disney Dream the first time.  It is so big and especially next to all the other cruise ships.  We spent the first afternoon/evening getting our sea legs and exploring the ship.  We were on teh cruise to celebrate Rich's parents 50th anniversary so we decorated their door a little and someone else was turning 40!  We signed up for the Midship Detective Agency game.  You are given a badge and a sheet with possible criminals on it and the locations of possible clues.  You run all over the ship waving your badge in front of paintings that then change and turn into cartoons.  Mickey and his friends then give you clues about who (in our case, there are two different mysteries) stole the paintings.  It gets the kids to go all over the ship and to be honest, it was fun.  They were thrilled when they found out who the criminal was.  Just one of the many fun touches all over the ship.


The Ranch Mickey..our assistant waiter was an expert at making all thick liquids into a Mickey.  A treat at every meal!

You gotta love turn down service each night.  And touches like this pillow made it all the more special!

We met Captain Mickey right after we got on the ship.   And by all miracles there was no line to see him!

The view from our verandah in port.  We just dwarfed the other ship.  The dream has a ton more rooms with verandahs than the older ships.


That is our room!

As I age, the computer becomes more of my memory. Your Blog is a wonderland of things I like to remember. Thanks for the memories. When I switched to the laptop from the gateway I neglected to put an icon on the desktop for "We four Kings . . ." So I forget to look!!! I WILL remember to put a reminder on my new birthday present - imac.
