Disney Magic - Saturday - Sea Day

Thank goodness it was a sea day, because Saturday I did not feel very well all day long. Heartburn, headache, just kinda yucky.

We started our morning by going to see the kick off of “Desperate Shipmates,” which is a multi-day Who Dunnit? at sea. We got clue notebooks and saw the drama play out as we were introduced to our main characters - Francie, Yuri, Storme, and Trixie.

Next we went to pick up our specialty merchandise that we ordered - Grant and I got ours first and we got a complete set of pins, plus a couple of doubles that we wanted, plus we got one of the 55 ornaments! I was so excited - and kind of nervous, because the lady next to us didn’t get the ornament she ordered, so I thought maybe we wouldn’t, either. Then, I got nervous that Mo and Bobby wouldn’t get one - but they did, as well! They got a full set of pins, and an ornament. We didn’t get the painting that we wanted, but that’s okay! There were only ten of those. But we were very happy.

Next, we watched a little bit of the art auction, before heading through the galley tour. Our galley tour started in Lumiere’s galley and headed straight through to Parrot Cay’s galley. A nice touch is that they gave us chocolate chip cookies towards the end of the tour.

After that, we went up to the Buena Vista theater and watched a movie called “College Road Trip,” which was a cute movie about a father having to accept that his daughter is growing up. The movie was very cute and very funny - Raven and Martin Lawrence stared as the father and daughter, and Donny Osmond was hilarious as the annoying family they meet along the way.

We had to get dressed pretty quickly for dinner - the French menu in Lumiere’s. During dinner, Belle and Beast came out and danced for us! It was so neat! I ate lightly- having escargot, tomato basil soup, and a salad (but no entrée), and crème brulee for dessert. Mom had a shrimp appetizer, the tomato basil soup, and the duck entrée, with an apple and pear tart. Bobby had the tomato basil soup, duck appetizer, and the beef tenderloin for dinner, and the crepe suzette for dessert. Grant had duck appetizer, as well as sharing an escargot with mom and Bobby, a salad, and the duck entrée, with crème brulee for dessert.

We went up to see “Think you know your Family?” which is like the newlywed game, but with asking questions to kids and parents. Then we went to the show, which was Ricky Kalmon, a hypnotist. That was pretty funny!

We were going to swim in the goofy pool and watch National Treasure, but due to a conflict with the kids club camp out under the stars, the movie was canceled. (We’ve had a few conflicts and misprints, probably due to the unusual itinerary.) So instead, we went to swim in the Quiet Cove pool for a while, before heading back to our rooms to order a midnight snack from room service and going to bed.
