Disney Cruise Part 2

After lunch Brad got the call from the hotel saying that they found my pillow.  So he called my brother-in-law's pilot, Terry, and then went to the service desk.  Then we were off to check out our room and try to get the kids to take a nap before the safety drill.  The nap didn't happen.  They don't sleep in the same room at home so they just wanted to play.  We got to leave the drill early because Cade was being fussy, sweet, one perk to him not taking a nap!  So we went down to the service desk again to see if they had my pillow.  They didn't.

We were not allowed to get off the boat and Terry was not allowed past the gate.  The people at the service desk said that there would be someone waiting out there to get my pillow.  A little later Terry called saying he was at the gate but no one was there to get my pillow.  My pillow was so close yet so far away!  We had to wait at the entrance to the boat and just hope that some how my pillow would come.  The guy at the service desk kept telling us that there was someone out there and Terry kept telling us that there wasn't.  It was crazy!  Finally a really nice old man security guard walked out there, got my pillow, scanned it and stuff, and walked it on to the boat for me.  Hurray!!  I really wanted to hug him!  Once I had my pillow I cried again.

We went back to our room, I wanted to make sure my pillow was safe!  There was no way I was going to lose it again.  The kids loved looking out the window!  I have to say that our room rocked.  The window was huge.  There was a curtain between our bed and the kids.  Which was a really great feature.  We were able to leave the room without them knowing.  No we didn't just leave them, we had a baby monitor and Brad's parents' room was right next door.  Plus it didn't feel like we were sleeping right next to them.  There was a toilet room and a shower room, with a tub for the kids.  And maybe I'm silly but I loved that there were retractible clothes lines in the shower!

That night we had dinner at Animators.  In my opinion it was the most entertaining.  They had huge screens on the walls that looked like fish tanks.  All the characters from Finding Nemo were there.  It was really fun!  Cade fell asleep as we were walking to dinner and slept almost the whole time.

After dinner we let the kids play for a bit and then got them to bed around 8:30 Florida time.  We thought that they might adjust a little and Aleah didn't get a nap.  Brad's parents listened to the monitor for us.  We went down to the show, The Golden Mickeys.  Then we went and got some ice cream and visited.

When we got back around 10:30 Brad's mom said that the kids just went to sleep.  What?  That's right, it was a party in there.  She said that she had fun listening to them talk and play.  Cade would stand up in his crib and Aleah would say, "Lay down Deed, lay down!"  Then he would drop down as fast as he could and she would laugh.  Then she would say, "Go to sleep Deed!"  He would stand up and they would start over with lots of laughing!!
