Mickey Boat Day 8

Friday October 12th, 2012

The Last Day At Sea
Well the trip was almost over- no one was ready for home yet- the Disney Magic was sailing back into the gulf and we would be back in Texas by morning.  Another beautiful day!  A little time spent on the veranda waking up and then we were out the door to breakfast- by now the thrill of Mickey waffles had worn off and we were back to fruit loops and chocolate milk.  We cruised thru the navigator and learned that a special toddler time was being held- Disney Jr, toys, and dancing all for the littles and their families.  Sam had a great time- he rocked that play date!  He was the most energetic boy there (imagine that!).  The girls were a little old for this setting but in fairness Sam attends things for them far more often so a roll reversal was fine with us:)  We hit up the gift shop once again- Christmas ornament, Minnie shirts, princess coloring book and more.  Shutters is the photo place onboard- and boy that place is a madhouse the last day!  You go and pick up any photos you want to keep and order a cd if you wish- we stood in the long line and went thru the crazy process.  This was not magical and happen to coincide with nap time- you can imagine the joy being had!  So 3 children melting down here led to naps back in the room.  Annabelle and Daddy snuck off to lunch at Parrot Cay- it was surf and turf buffet today.  Later that afternoon the girls went to the club to burn off some energy.  Sam got some one on one time with Momma and Daddy- and pictures taken with Goofy and the Mouse.

Friendship Rocks
The girls had been rehearsing for a cute little farewell performance in their club-time had come to show the parents in the big theater.  The stage was full of cute kids wearing cute yellow shirts.  The counselors led them in some song and dance and Mickey & Minnie joined the goodbye celebration.  We enjoyed the view but Annabelle and Linley were lost in the sea of yellow- every now and then we caught a glimpse of them- Annabelle even gave us a thumbs up from the stage- in typical Linley fashion she was holding hands with the closest counselor.




The Last Night
Right after Friendship Rocks it was our final dinner.  Sam was falling apart at the seams and it was one of the times that room service was made for- but being the final night we toughed it out.  The girls had the chance to say goodbye to their new friend Ava at dinner and we enjoyed David and Linda's company- so even with our tired monster we made the most of it.  Sam didn't make it to the evenings farewell show- I stayed back and packed up our stuff as he crashed in his clothes on the bed (neither pjs nor bath were worth the battle- I surrendered!)  The girls came back telling me all about what I'd missed- they had a good time with Daddy our last night.  Jonathan helped with the final packing and we set the bags out the door to be waiting for us off the boat in the morning (Disney magic again!).
