Day 2 and First Day on the Boat!











We woke up fairly early Sunday because we had to have our luggage outside our room by 8 so that Disney could transport it to the boat. So we got ready and headed out to the Magic Kingdom area to eat breakfast at the Grand Floridian. We took a bus to Magic Kingdom and it was kind of depressing to be that close but not be able to go in. We took the monorail though to the Grando Floridian which was nice to do that. We really enjoyed breakfast there it was quite yummy. Afterwards we walked around the hotel some and reminsced of our honeymoon there 5 years ago. After that it was time to head back to the Swan to get on the bus that would take us to the cruise ship port. The bus ride was only an hour long so it wasn't bad. We got to the port and checked in and then headed onto the boat. It was amazing how big and nice the ship was. I have never been on a boat other then small ones and the ferry. We decided to go straight to our room to check it out. Our room was really nice. The Disney Cruise rooms are larger then other cruise ships. So our room felt very spacious and not claustrophobic at all. We settled in and then headed up the buffet on the 9th deck. Oh and our room at a verandah which was awesome to have our own private balcony. So we ate a snack and then explored the ship for awhile. Our dinner seating was at 5:45 so it wasn't long before we had to head to that. We ate at Parrot Cay the first night. It was really yummy. I had a steak with a twice baked potato and a salad. We had dinner with 3 other couples. They were all really nice and we enjoyed talking to them. After dinner we walked around for awhile then went to the show. It was "The Golden Mickey's". Very cute. It was basically set up like the Academy Awards only for Disney Movies. So they had a bunch of different scenes from various Disney movies. It was really cute. After the show we checked out the shops on board then headed back to our room. We were both pretty tired after the last 2 busy days of traveling!
