Great updates, Maureen! Sounds like a wonderful dinner and time at the pool. How grown-up of Katie to stay behind while you went to get Emily! Looking forward to more

After they exhausted every credit on their game cards, we took a walk on Deck 10. Neither of the girls had truly had a chance to sit and view Nassau and take in how gorgeous the Caribbean waters truly are. We pulled up a few chairs and just relaxed for awhile.

Afterwards, as we started to head back, I snapped a few last photos.





As we began to head back to the room, Emily spotted a line of people waiting in the gazebo and we were very happy to stumble upon Captain Hook and Mr. Smee- this set we haven't seen much at WDW, so this was a treat indeed.



Headed back down to the room and showered. All of us were hungry and no one seemed interested in going back up on deck to Pluto's or to Beach Blanket Buffet, so we thought Triton's might be a good idea. As we were headed that way, Emily asked if she could go back to the Oceaneer's Club so I suggested she eat with us first and then we would walk her up there.

Triton's was virtually empty except for some officers eating and at closer look, I realized our Captain (John) was dining behind us. I only recognized him having seen him welcome us before the Golden Mickey's began last night.

I ordered a cheesebuger and fries and the girls went for their usuals. It came very quickly and we all were so hungry we got unusually quiet.

Emily did take a picture of me and inadvertently, got a pic of the captain in the background.



One of the things I absolutely love about the ship is the mosiac mural in Triton's. I had been telling Emily about it for months and I find the room in general, with all the blues and dark woods incredibly relaxing and immersive. Being there at a time that was much quieter than last evening only made me love the room more- and to top it off, we were facing the mosiac so I got to see it throughout my entire meal.



After we finished lunch, we dropped Emily off at Oceaneer's Club and for some reason, that really upset Katie. I had planned to take her to the Buena Vista Theater to see Hannah Montana ( that and Earth were playing this voyage) but she got way too worked up to be able to sit quietly. So, we headed back to the room where I directed her to lay down and watch movies- she was very difficult at first but eventually calmed down.

At about 2:00, the pager went off and I left Katie to her cinematic devices while I went to pick up Emily. She was chock full of news to report- that her age group had played Who Wants to Be A Mousketeer and that she knew most of the answers, even though she wasn't in the hot seat.

When we got back to the room, Katie had fallen asleep and Emily said she wanted to lay down and watch tv- which was more than OK by me. Within a few minutes, Emily was out. I set my travel alarm clock for a ring at 4:15.

I don't think it was more than 2 or 3 minutes before I was out for the count. Kevan remarked to me later that he couldn't believe we were sleeping when there had to have been more activities to try out but we had another late night planned so the more sleep now, the better.

Another great update! Can't wait to hear what happens after the mid-afternoon nap!

[Kenny]

Yeah, the Amazing Miss Em is a right smart photographer, too!
Sometimes you just gotta kick back and close your eyes and relax a bit!

[bsblady01]

more please

[chezp]

Another great update and some beautiful photos.

[belleandmaddysmom]

The mosaic in Tritons looks so beautiful! I can't wait to see it for myself and I'm sure that my girls will just love it too!

Glad that Emily had another great time in the Club. Sorry Katie was upset. Glad she was able to rest some. I know that we usually took an afternoon rest everyday on our recent cruise. It really helped for some of those late nights!

Can't wait to hear more!

[Colexis Mom]

Sounds like a nice relaxing afternoon!

[lauren-roxy]

What a great afternoon!!! Sometimes you just need a mid-afternoon nap!

[llgmommy]

VERY COOL I can't wait to read more

[OhToodles!]

Triton's sounds lovely! And that mural - wow!

[belle0517]

Great update! Sounds like a nice relaxing afternoon.

[OffKilter_Lynn]

An afternoon nap, huh. Well, I'm not surprised... I know that you can nap ANYTIME, ANYWHERE!

I need to have Miss Em with me on my next cruise!

[pamcarey]

Great update! I'm sure that the naps refreshed you all for a late night of fun!

I woke up with a few minutes to spare before the alarm went off and Katie soon followed suit. She began to wonder what was next so I told her the plan- characters, Toy Story the Musical, Pirate Party. Off she went for her favorite dress of the trip and started getting ready. I got Emily up and going.

Katie just loved that dress- can you tell?



Pirate Stitch and Minnie were scheduled to appear in the atrium lobby at 5:00 and 5:15 respectively, so we got to Stitch's waiting area about 4:50 and were first in line. Promptly at 5:00, down came the cutest alien pirate I have ever laid my eyes on.



Stitch caught sight of us waiting on him and I guess he was quite taken with Emily, because they became fast friends as he came over to get her himself:





It was a fun character meeting for all of us. We moved over to the other side and not much of a line had formed for Minnie- as it was only shortly after 5:00, but Emily was not in much of a mood to stand I guess because the child made herself comfortable elsewhere.



Emily bolted out of Minnie's way as soon as Minnie was spotted above us and Katie again, was thrilled to meet up with her favorite gal pal.



After our character meets, we headed on up to the Walt Disney Theater, where I couldn't believe our luck- Captain Jack-- just there by his lonesome. I was really surprised but Katie got very shy and didn't go over to see him with us. So Emily and I went. Captain Jack was a riot.. and said that the motion of the ship was such he was starting to feel queasy. Emily informed him that the ship was docked to which he replied in his signature voice, "My mistake.." Lots o' fun.



The doors opened as we approached and we headed for our same spot from last night. As soon as we started to go in the row, we heard a familiar voice. "Well, if it isn't Emily from Florida..." and our friend Dan from India had made another appearance. This guy was making the magical moments for us like no other crew member thus far. Emily beamed at him- he asked how our day had gone and they chatted up a bit before we ordered our drinks.

Katie was very excited about Toy Story the Musical. I was a little curious about it as my friend Carrie from work saw it in October- and was a bit disappointed in it. The characters from the movie are so endearing I couldn't see how it could go wrong.

Coming Up Next: Now that's just plain creepy......
