Sunday- arrived at the port around 11am or so... we received the #11 card to board... super easy check in and then went over and signed the kids in with the club right there before boarding.. Fill the online forms out for the club... makes it easier as they just gave the kids their armbands... me the pager and said have fun! When I was checking in the kids went and saw Goofy and got pics with him...
Mickey came out later and we walked by him as the line was long by then! They called our number and walked on... they announced our arrival and we were all set! We went to Parrot Cay for lunch. (We preferred this buffet over Beach Blanket ... more on this later!) We then went and checked out the club ages 5- 7 and by then it was already 1:30! So we went to our rooms and changed and met our Dis board group for our 2pm meeting by the Mickey Pool... the kids were in the pool there and then wanted to go to Goofys Pool... they were both full of course but not as full as the day at sea lol!
We had a blast at the sail away party after our wonderful drill and went to our room to watch us sail away (as it was a little breezy up top) and waved to everyone on shore from our room with the lovely balcony... room #8502... Awesome room

We had the APPT rotation for dinner so had dinner at Animators Palate our first night... the kids left early from dinner almost every night and tonight they left just before 7 as they had to catch the welcome party! We took a little longer to finish and then went and picked the kids up to go to the show... We loved the Golden Mickeys and the girls went to the red carpet and were interviewed... which is cool as they are shown live inside on the big screen while you are waiting for the show.. They loved that! I video taped it with my camera so they could see it! Alas the kids were tired and we went back to our room and went to bed!! Very exciting day! We missed the luau in the club since it was at 9:45 jeez thats late for a 5- 7 year old!
Tips for the day:
1. Get the kids to the Red Carpet arrival just before the show!
2. The pool towels arent in clear view but inside the wooden cupboards on the decks... there are also cupboards for garbage and dirty towels too! All very posh lol!
I'll try to figure how to post pics later!
