Disney Cruise, Day 3

Tuesday was a super fun day! We started it out by going to the character breakfast at Parrot Cay, another one of the dining rooms. Kaylee wore her princess dress for this special breakfast!

We got to the breakfast a little early, so we enjoyed some WARM weather out on deck 4. We were definitely getting closer to Mexico since the weather was getting so nice and sunny!
It was finally time for the breakfast, which was at 10 AM. Since my kids are used to getting up early, we had ordered room service (which is free!!! but excludes gratuity). The kids enjoyed eating a bowl of cereal in our cabin. They thought it was pretty cool! I knew they wouldn't be able to hold off until 10 AM for breakfast. So it was more like a brunch for us. Kaylee was so excited to see Minnie Mouse, she was very disappointed when she saw Minnie walk in, but headed for another section in the room and not to our table. She had a bit of a fit and I had to try and calm her down and explain that she would come but she had to wait her turn. Our servers did their best to keep the kids entertained with some fancy napkin folding and hat making.
Finally....Minnie came to our table and it was so cute to see the kids reaction!
We had a lot of waiting in between characters, so it gave Art more time to make Dad a cool hat!
Then of course Carson and Kaylee had to try it on too!
We got to see Chip and Dale, Pluto, Goofy, Minnie, and of course Mickey Mouse. I am not sure where Donald and Daisy were, we told the kids they were probably out on a date!
It was so fun to watch them make all the hats for the kids. Carson wanted to try it himself. He was kind of figuring it out!
After breakfast, or brunch, the kids wanted to go swimming, so we all got our suits on and enjoyed the water. Yes, even Nick and I. And it was FUN! It was SO hot so it felt good to get in the water!
Since it was so hot, a table in the shade was hard to come by, but we finally were able to get a table so we could enjoy lunch in the shade. Goofy's Galley, was a great place for healthy sandwiches, fruit, and wraps, so we tried it out that day and it was super yummy! It is also just right next to the pool so that was convenient. In fact, on Deck 9 where the pools are, they have a pizza stand, hamburger and hot dog stand (they also had a really yummy grilled chicken there!), the buffet, and the best by far.....the self serve soda station and ice cream station. We definitely got our share of ice cream for the week!
After swimming and lunch, we headed back to the room and the kids zonked right out. I also took a little nap and it felt great!
We then got all cleaned up and headed back up towards dinner which was in Animator's Palate that night.
It was really cool, they did this fun color magic show and even Mickey Mouse showed up to do a bit of a show. I'm telling you, the whole ship is just magical! Everything is thought out to every detail and it is amazing how on a ship with 2,400 passengers and 1,000 crew that you can get such personal service and sometimes feel like you are the only one on the ship!
Again, we had another fun towel animal awaiting us when we got back to our room before the show.
The show that night was "Toy Story: The Musical". And it was SO good! I really can't say it enough of how impressed we were with the entertainment. The kids sat through EVERY show so well and was never bored. Not once! I was impressed again on our 3rd day of the cruise!
