We left it until this morning to tell the kids where we were going today. They were as mentally prepared as they could be for the impending Adults Cruise when we told them we were really going on a Disney Cruise! On the way out to port I had Mickey call them up and tell them he was really looking forward to seeing them on board. As we got to the coast the ship came into view their smiles got wider and wider, as we rounded the boat and Emerson saw Dumbo painting...

Meanwhile Gab and Emerson had a go on the Toy Story Midway Mayhem. Then they fast passed it, then had another go. Three goes round in total. Max and I joined them for the last two rides.
