After breakfast this morning, we went over to see "Cars 3" at the Buena Vista theater. It was pretty crowded at the time, but we had perfect seats, and even better, we had popcorn. Mommy hadn't got to see this movie yet, but Madison and Daddy did earlier at Summer Xtreme. It is a really good one, actually. It's just neat seeing a movie on a boat, right?
We also did some trivia on the boat, with two consecutive victories!
This is a picture after the first win, where we're posing with the hostess. The questions were based on classic Disney cartoons, and we were just dominating. I mean, there were larger groups than just the three of us, and it was a really packed area with lots of people, but it didn't matter: we had a winning team. Madison would cover for us when we didn't know the answers, or Mommy would know one right away, and then Daddy would be clean-up batter! We started this cruise out thinking it would be great to actually win some of these - you earn them based on the mini-golf games or trivia or something else. We won three times over the course of the cruise, this small little group of the three of us, seated on the floor and quietly dominating the entire thing. There was a nemesis on the other side of the room who kept coming close, and she didn't have any prizes at all. That very last game was a tie, and rather than do any kind of tie-breaker, we realized we already had three prizes, so we gave the other team that last victory. We were doing that well. There was a good deal of grace upon us to know so many answers, and know them so easily.
Another thing we did today was go to a pin-trading event. Madison LOVED this. The crew was there, and she had a bunch of pins that we brought with us. She traded several new pins tonight, spending a long time with each crew member, talking - while studying the lanyards with pins on them. She came away pretty happy about her new acquisitions!
Madison was in the Star Wars room again, and also spending time making slime. Mommy and Daddy were trying a mini-golf game in the lobby, which was fun. The haunted tree had grown it's pumpkins, as it does each Halloween cruise. It watched us putt golf balls there on the lobby floor. Daddy came close to winning, but lost with the last shot - and that was okay, because it was a lot of fun.
We spent time at the pool watching movies on the deck up top. And yes, we even rode on the Aquaduck once again, in fact two times. The lines were bigger today, but we were happy to give it another go. We rode on this quite a few times on this cruise. One thing we loved was talking to all the other Georgia people in line, and yes even other people from Forsyth County. We're all on vacation this week!
One thing we did this afternoon was drop by the candy store at the top floor, where we placed an order for a ridiculous ice cream car at dinner tonight. In fact, here it is:
It was so big that Madison couldn't eat the whole thing. So she shared it with her new friend at the table, even sharing some with Daddy. This was an amazing amount of ice cream, and looked just fantastic. Vanellope's race car we get to keep as a souvenir, all said a really great thing to do when you're on a Disney cruise. Just the looking at the ice cream flavors was fun enough. The ice cream and candy store is extremely tempting, even with all the free food not too far away in the restaurant next door.
The seas were quiet, the hurricane long gone. Our last and final meal was ginormous and wonderful, and as it was our last day, we stopped to get a few souvenirs here or there. Also on the night's itinerary was the production, "Believe," which is the best of them all.
It does such a great job of summing things up, a wonderful experience more than a production. It's easy to smile at, and a bit sentimental, especially when seen at the end of an amazing cruise as this was.
And it was an amazing cruise. We've been on a few over the years, but this one was nice with just the three of us together, hanging out. It's a great way to start out the fall season, and we're grateful for the good weather we had along the way. But we're so very happy with the time we spent together, just the three of us, relaxing, smiling, resting, and having a lovely cruise.
We were packing tonight, or at least Mommy was while Daddy and Madison did a few more rounds of the Midship Detective Agency. Anyway, we were getting ready for an early departure tomorrow - although not as early as the others. We have the second shift, and that means we sleep in a little, and leave the boat last. That's just fine because we're not in any hurry tomorrow.
Still, everyone was a bit tired from the day, and we were good to head to bed a bit earlier tonight. There's so much activity going on that you're bound to miss something going on, in favor of getting some rest. But that's okay, because I have a feeling we'll be back on board again some day.
