Mom & Dad's Trip
Mom & Dad finally took a vacation and made it to the Disney Dream! On the first day we spent the beginning of the day at the Radisson Hotel, which is where they stayed the night before. The hotel had a pool and internet so my roommate Emma and I were having a ball just hanging out there. The first six photos were taken at the Radisson. Then they made it to the ship! I was greeting Mickey on Deck 11 and they came to see both Mickey and Minnie. There stateroom was incredible! It was stateroom 7194, which is located on Deck 7 (out of 14 decks), right in the middle of the ship, all the way aft (back). There verandah was much larger than the standard stateroom. As you can see in the last photo is was huge! What a beautiful view they had! The Golden Mickey's were that night and they came to both shows. Dad recorded both shows, because he really enjoyed the Beauty and the Beast scene. I was so happy to have them there to watch me perform finally! In between the Golden Mickeys Emma and I went to their stateroom to eat BLTs from room service. What lovely treat! After the second show my good friend Justin Wilcox came to chat up on Deck 11 in the adult area and cafe. I was impressed how late Dad stayed up!
Nassau our day 2 port of call! Mom & Dad headed to Atlantis, which is a famous resort and casino in Nassau. I guess they didn't win any money, but I'm sure Dad still enjoyed his time gambling. Photo 2 is right off the gangway. Photo 3 is of Mom at the back of the ship. Their stateroom is right above the Bahamian flag. Later on the ship, they saw some character appearances. I made friends with Minnie in the her formal dress. The first photo of formal Minnie is with random children, which is something Dad did quite frequently while he was on board. Then of coarse they had their picture taken with her. I made friends with Stitch when they came to the character meet and greet with Lilo and Stitch. We had dinner that night in Enchanted Garden. I told Dad he better get some rest because we had a long day ahead with Pirate night the next day.
Day 3 we made it to Disney's private island, Castaway Cay. Here are both of them posing at the back of the ship. Dad is pointing to their room, which is again, right above the flag, right in middle. Next they saw Minnie in her bathing suit and also saw her at a dance party. Mom also danced with Captain Hook at his dance party. Dad taped that of coarse, because he taped almost everything. I have many videos to upload once I get home. I hung out with them on the island by the water for a few hours after that. I was able to ride the water slide in the ocean at Pelican Plunge! The three of us took another photo in the same spot at Scuttles Cove on our way back to the ship. The day progressed and it turned into pirate night. They came to Mickey's Pirates in the Caribbean show on Deck 11. Later we saw the fireworks display which was great! Their stateroom host leaves towels in their room everyday and Dad loved it. He decided to dress their towel animal up with his new hat from the island and his sunglasses. I am sure Vernon got a kick out of it!
Day 4 is the sea day and Dad finally made it to the Aquaduck that morning while Mom had her picture taken with Tinkerbell. She also saw Captain Mickey on Deck 4 and I made friends with Mickey. The first photo is Minnie Mouse in her sailor outfit for the farewell show we call Sea Ya Real Soon. I made friends with Minnie. Earlier that day I treated Mom to a pedicure at the spa and the second photo is Dad taking a nap in the spa waiting room, classic.
