Disney Cruise...Nothing But Good Times

At the end of February, the four of us packed up and headed to Miami, where we took a Disney Cruise to Grand Cayman and Cozumel.  All of us had a lovely time!  The cruise was packed with all sorts of fun things to do.  3 pools, food everywhere, characters to meet everywhere you turned, live shows at night, a movie theater, and a ton of other fun things.  We were busy from the moment our plane landed in Miami, to the time we got back to KC.  A wonderful time was had by all!

 Here are some (well, let's be honest, a ton) of pictures from our trip!

The kids hit the pool first thing on the ship.  Here is Ellie on the water slide.

This is what a Disney Princess Meet and Greet looks like.

She is pretty excited.

Cinderella taught Ellie how to pose while holding her dress up.  A move you will see Ellie replicate later.

Final princess pose.  For those of you asking where Tommy was, he was right there as well, but didn't want to touch the princesses.  He much preferred blowing them kisses, which they loved.

This was one of my favorite parts of the trip.  They hosted a dance party with the characters in a big lobby space.  There were about 12 of them there, and you could go up to each one and dance.  Here is Ellie checking out Goofy.

She got bolder after that and insisted each character take her hands and spin her around.  Here she is with Mikey.

Dancing with Donald.  This was one fun party! You may ask where Tommy was...he was napping, and as soon as it was over, Ellie said "That was so much fun.  I am sad that Tommy missed it"
