Animators Palate
DS was at Edge while we were at Palo. He is going to post a review of this so I will leave that for him to do.
Later that afternoon we went to La Piazza for some Disney Trivia. These were harder than I thought they would be! Guess we haven’t paid as much attention to Disney movies as we thought had! No winner winners here, but the family next to us did though they were a little fluid with their score. We marked theirs’, they marked ours. They magically got 2 extra points, so unless we marked two wrong that we shouldn’t have, which I found unlikely, they decided to add two more to their score.
The afternoon was just a relaxing time around the suite and the ship. Before dinner DS wanted to go to Family Fusion. It wasn’t exactly what he thought it was going to be, we thought it would be a little like family feud/ or a trivia contest that the crowd could participate in. It was a bit of a letdown as the participation was pretty limited.
It was time for dinner now. For those that don’t know how dining works on a
Disney cruise, I will briefly describe. When booking, or it might be at a certain number of days out, you can nominate first or second dining setting. First is 5:45pm second is 8:15pm. We chose second. At check in you are informed of your allocated table number and rotation schedule. From what I understand parties are normally seated with other cruising families, though I think you can request a separate table. We were on table 37 with another family of 5, so making up 8 at the table. The rotation part is that from night to night you change restaurants. There were three restaurants we dined at, Enchanted Garden (E ) Royal Court (R ), Animators Palate (A) . Our rotation starting from the first night was E, R, A, E, R, A, E. So we had each restaurant twice and Enchanted Garden three times, well at least the was the plan, it didn’t work out that way for us as we did not always go to the dinner rotation. As a further twist your wait staff rotate with you, so you keep the same waiter, and server the whole cruise which if you get a could combination is good, if you don’t well probably not so good!
Dinner tonight was in Animators Palate. We had read a lot about this experiences, how it all walls and art starts our black and white and turns into colour through the evening. There was TV screens with characters talking to people it was really well done, a bit like Talk time with Crush and the parks.
Yeah we bought a cruise photo pack. wow ridiculous pricing, almost as ridiculous as their Internet rates!
After Dinner we got to see Captain Mickey
This was now three days at sea. Next morning, we were docking at Tortola.
