Saturday, May 9, 2026 We’re on land! I wasn’t really missing land, but it was nice to be seeing and doing. We had Mickey waffles with strawberries for breakfast. We stepped outside and took pictures, then went back and dressed warmly! Temperature was 52 and it was windy! It got warmer and less windy as […]

Friday, May 8, 2026 We got up for breakfast for the first time this cruise, motivated by churro Mickey waffles! I don’t churro, but Keith enjoyed them very much. I had bacon, watermelon, and pineapple, and couldn’t have been happier. I stayed up until almost 4am reading, so after breakfast we came back to the

Thursday, May 7, 2026 Last night there was a pirate show and fireworks on deck. They covered the whole center pool area with a floor, so there was a lot of room for people. We were separated from K and J, but watched them from above. But not in a creepy way. They had everyone

Wednesday, May 6, 2026 It’s Pirate day! We knew it would happen, but didn’t bring pirate wear. We were trying to pack as light as possible, but more importantly, we didn’t have any. Lots of kids are dressed up, and some adults. These guys looked great. Dug floated by our porthole this morning. I love

Tuesday, May 5, 2026 Happy Cinco de Mayo! And Happy Anniversary to Donna and Michael! Someone stole my Mickey cel painting. Notice that paragraph break? That was to give you time to adequately feel the appropriate outrage. We went last night to pick it up from where we hung it to dry and it was

Monday, May 4, 2026 It is great fun to be around Star Wars people on May 4. There were lots of cute shirts, but actually not as many as I expected. We didn’t try any of the SW trivias because beyond the original movie, I know nothing. We showed up for a drawing class early

Dinner last night was at the artist pallet. It’s a beautiful room full of screens with amazing art that cycles throughout your meal. Disney is no better than princess at providing vegan or plant-based or vegetarian meals than princess. Things exist, but it sort of feels like an afterthought or an irritation. Julie and Kristine

Saturday, May 2, 2026 Keith chatted with a man on our last crew of a year and a half ago and learned that transatlantic features are relatively inexpensive. They just want to fill the boat that they need to move one side to the other side. I said when he retired that is something we

Friday, May 1. 2026 Maren took us to the airport, again. She is an awfully nice neighbor. The trip takes no time as we chat and leave Keith in the backseat. Our flight wasn’t until 7, so we had a soda and mashed potatoes in the lounge. I also had a few dry Froot Loops.

Thursday, April 30, 2026 We originally saw the play in London while it was in previews almost ten years ago. We really enjoyed it, then forgot what happened. Now we remember. Or do we? The original show was done in two parts. We went to the theater for a matinee, had a dinner break, and
