Day 4 of our Disney Western Caribbean cruise on the Fantasy

Our First Port excursion for this Cruise! A Dolphin encounter at George Town, Grand Cayman

We did get ready in advance for our excursion before heading out of cabin and to have breakfast. 
We didn't want to feel rushed in going out for breakfast and then coming back to get ready only to head out again. 

Had breakfast at Cabana's
After Breakfast we had time to kill before checking in for Port Excursion. 
Checking our Navigator APP, we decided to meet Woody & Buzz!
It was perfect timing!
































 We then went to check in for our excursion! 
The meeting place was located at the 'Tube' which is one of the entertainment rooms located at AFT




Here, they assign a leader to take the different excursion to where they need to be from disembarking and to dedicated shuttles at port. 
Here, they also will offer items for sell that may help you on your excursion. I am the sucker that bought the cooler loaded with ice/bottled waters. 

At this Port, a tender boat is required to escort guests from the ship to the port. 
This is also great fun and a good way to see the ocean and marine life there! We saw so many colorful fish. Our tender bought captain through some fish food over to attract the fish! They were beautiful!

I am sure you can tip the tender boats, I did not. I didn't see anyone doing so BUT I know everyone is happy to take a tip. 

At Port:
We were led over to our dedicated Shuttle. The shuttle ride was 40 minutes to our destination. 

For this Port Adventure we chose the Grand Cayman Dolphin Encounter.  Check out my link for full review.
























 It was not quite what I pictured. 

 Once on board, we had lunch
Grabbed some Soft Serve ice cream! Grabbed some drinks (used the coffee lid for our regular drink cups)
We went to go see a movie, Christopher Robin and I loved that one


 














Went back to cabin and cleaned up for Dinner. 

Tonight was Animators Palate again for second round in rotation BUT the best! This go we were able to experience the magic of of our animation. Check out a short clip of the show here!

 We were provided paper placemats to draw a character in. (No words or numbers allowed in drawing)
We were provided 4 colored markers to use.
The drawings were then handed over to our wait staff.
Midway through our meal all the screens became our easel for the clever magic they have!

 They animated our characters and paraded them on the display screens! see video here!

































After Dinner, we were exhausted!

 Two of us headed to cabin to rest remainder of night and the other two went on the the Aladdin Play.
We also had a very early excursion the next morning! I am not an early bird!

The Disney Cruise Lines offer Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique Makeover with more options than you could ever get at the parks!!!! (Fantasy & Dream boats) You can get First Mate, Pirate, Mermaid, Princess and even a star Wars makeover (depending on the sailing you book under) We did the standard Princess Makeover although we have done Pirates in the past (for son and daughter) It is always a fantastic experience! The children feel so special with all the extra attention with makeover to boot! How do you not love that?! They do start around $19.00 for boys and $55.00 starting rate for girls. They can definitely escalate depending on the amazing options you could add to it from $100, $200 and even $750.00 (Yes, You read that correctly~$750.00) Of course booking for this opens when your cruise registration opens. You must be paid in full and the opening registration depends on If you are a new cruiser or the Castaway Club level you are. Previous sailings I have always booked arou

virtual Run Disney review from Dealing with Disney

I decided to finally see what the virtual Disney Runs were all about. A friend of mine told me she signed up. She wanted to keep her momentum going which inspired me to look into as well. I have learned to love the Run Disney events. It appears they offer seasonal Virtual events options from the Run Disney website. (see link HERE ) There were 3 races available to choose from or a full circuit registration containing all 3 races. This came with a bonus medal as well.  Each event was $45.00 and the combined package was $145.00. This was more $$ obviously but ok, I can see they have added in the cost of the extra medal you earn. What does this get me or should I say, what do I get out of this event? I can see the Disney love of just doing it for Disney,  doing it for the medal or doing it to keep momentum of working towards goals. All options seemed very reasonable to me and got me excited, therefore I signed up for the gauntlet. My friend pointed out her whole family

Walt Disney World Halloween 2020 re-opening experiences by Dealing with Disney

My review from my latest Disney world experience.   This trip was definitely not one of my favorites! Before you read all my cons.. .Keep  in mind, I still enjoyed this trip.  The main point of this is to have proper expectation for your needs/stay. If you go into a park without proper expectation, it can really throw your trip OFF!  We had some great moments. We had some rest spots - drinks - treats which were nice.   One amazing PLUS: The security checks are a breeze now! No lie.. their big concern are umbrellas and water bottles (metal ones) tend to set off the machines. They ask for those to be pulled out of back packs but all other items you can walk through with!  I loved still having the time to appreciate the little things in the park that we take for granted. The craftsmanship in all the art around the park/architecture , the plant life every where!   I will be honest, part of the reason was due to my own family! Hey, I always like to keep It real-in perspective we shall say.
