Day 5:
I woke up today to the sun starting to rise- I thought we had maybe overslept since I was so well rested but it was only 5:45! I laid in bed for a bit enjoying the quiet (though I could hear Aidan playing Mario on his DS through the doorway to his room) and read a book for a while. I finally got up around 6:20 and took a shower while everyone else was sleeping.
At 7:15 Matt and Piper got up and we all got ready for what was about to be a disaster of a character breakfast. The dining room was very loud for being 8 in the morning, and was bugging both the kids. Piper wanted nothing to do with the characters (became VERY shy and introverted) and also was a tad sea sick we suspect since she ate nothing - highly unusual if you know Piper! We left after a couple characters came by and took Aidan to the kids club (which was where he was most of the day) and Piper wanted to go up in the hot tub. We got changed, took her up there then hit the buffet since she was feeling better.
At 10:00 Piper wanted to go see Tangled in 3D, so Matt and I took her to that- surprisingly it was just as entertaining the second time around. For those who haven’t seen it, it’s really cute! I recommend it- its’ really funny. We took a walk around deck 4 (the walking/running track) outside and the weather was just increasingly better. We could see an island in Mexico off the port side of the ship which was really pretty next to blue sparkling water. The temps were still cool today though- only about 60 but in the sun it was really warm.
We dropped Piper off at the kids club for a bit so Matt and I could have some time alone. We went to lunch by ourselves and ate outside enjoying the sun and the view, then did a 1:00 wine tasting which was a fun adult activity. We picked up the kids and went down to watch “Who Wants to be a Mouseketeer” which is like who wants to be a millionaire, but with Disney only questions. Our family didn’t get picked, but it was entertaining to watch and the kids had a late lunch/snack while we watched other families try to win prizes. We took a break in our stateroom for the kids to do homework (it’s Monday, and the first day that they missed school so I wanted to make sure I was setting time aside each day for their work).
We then once again dropped Aidan off at his kids club, and Piper stayed with us while we went down to the family lounge to get a couple drinks and relax before dinner. Dinner was formal night so we all got dressed up and headed to Parrot Cay, our restaurant tonight. Our food was once again fantastic and Matt and I both bothered two entrees. Then when dessert came (I got a sampler with three mini things) Piper turns to me and says “really mom? THREE desserts?”?…it made us all laugh because she said it in the most judgmental condescending voice ever.
At 8:00 we went and collected the kids and heading to the Walt Disney Theater to see tonight’s show- The Golden Mickeys. We saw this on the last cruise (well obv Matt didn’t) but it was just as good the second time around. The show is complied of music and dance numbers from various Disney movies so it keeps little one’s attention which is good. All of the cast members are very talented in both singing and dancing and the show is really well put together. Piper started to fall asleep a bit during the show so afterwards we came right back to the room (after dropping Aidan off at the clubs of course) and she crawled into bed and turned on one of the many many Disney movie channels on tv.
It is now 10:15, and P is still awake but cozy. Matt just went got Aidan out of the clubs to come to bed. The ship is still really rocking- Matt and I had drinks after our wine tasting and I honestly couldn’t tell if I was tipsy or the boat was just rocking ! We are now filling out our room service breakfast menu and looking at tomorrows activity navigator to see what all we want to do. We have a Palo (adult only, fancy restaurant) brunch booked but that’s about it so far. It’s another day at sea so the day should be pretty relaxing. Even though we are headed to Puerto Vallarta first, we are passing through Cabo waters tomorrow so the kids are hopeful to see some dolphins or whales in the morning.
