The next day we boarded the cruise!!! I was so excited because my family and I had never been on the new ships, just the Magic and Wonder. It would also be our first time since 2009 that we had cruised out of Port Canaveral. The last two cruises I had been on went out of Vancouver and New York City. I had also gone out of Port Canaveral on the New Years Eve 2006 cruise (my first cruise). We went on the
Disney Cruise Line bus to the port. I loved the video and the cartoons they showed. We checked in and got to see Mickey while in the terminal. With the exception of the New York cruise, I had seen a character before boarding
the ship. When we got on the ship, they announce your name. I love that.
Lunch was at Enchanted Garden. From there, we went to our rooms and I went to the Dis Meet and hung out in the room until it was time for the safety drill. Yes, you could see Lightning during the drill which was not good, especially since the sailaway party would be happening after the drill. Despite the lightning, the party still went on. The show that night was a Welcome Aboard Show which I did not go to. The characters I saw were Mickey,
Rapanzuel (who I met for the first time
), and Donald. Since it was open house in the Oceaneer Club, I decided to go and take pictures. It was so cool and they have a Toy Story area, a Pixie Hollow area, a Monsters Inc area and a Finding Nemo area.
Dinner was at Royal Court. It reminded me of everyone who I was on prom court with. Our severs were Devandra from India, Ryan from the Philippines, and Rajesh from Bulgaria. After dinner, I wanted to see more characters and who do I run into? Pinnochio!! I even saw him get in to an elevator to the next deck. I also saw Belle and Goofy. I decided to wear my prom court sash when I saw Belle. She was impressed. For those of you who don't know, I was on my school's prom court which was being in the running for prom queen and I ended up winning!!
I love Goofy so I decided to see him too.
