Boarding Day! We could see the ship out our hotel window! Lynsie and Claire ready to go!

Steve, Dave and Cameron ready to board. It was actually Cameron's birthday!
Conor and Carter waiting for the shuttle. We went over in 2 shifts, 12 at a time.
After going through several "hoops" we finally got over to the ship!

Another group picture and family picture in front of the huge gingerbread house on the ship.
We then went up to Cabanas for some lunch and to go swimming. Hudson was so excited to finally go in Mickey's pool (now that he's potty trained), in addition to the splash pad like before. We also took turns going on the Aquaduck before it got busy.

Carter and Hudson eating ice cream after swimming.
Our rooms were ready shortly after, so we went to drop off our stuff. Steve and Diane have sailed 5 times now, so they're "gold" status, so they gave them another welcome gift (wet/dry bag), in addition to the "regular" one (cute bag). We stayed in an inside room w/ a virtual porthole. It was pretty neat since we were facing the back of the ship, we could see the camera of what you could actually see from the back of the ship. Nyles and Carter stayed in the bunk beds in Diane's room and Hudson w/ us.
We then had the muster drill. Our meeting place was in the theater. Hudson fell asleep by this time. After the muster drill, we went upstairs for the Sail Away Party up on deck.

Steve took Hudson to do sleep for a little bit, then came up and met us on deck.

More dancing. Dave, Hudson and Steve up on deck.
Some family pics!
Dinner time at the Enchanted Garden! Hudson had fun "painting" his hamburger.
Fun times!
Yummy food and desserts. Singing Happy Birthday to Cameron.
Hudson just wanted the sprinkles on his Mickey Bar for dinner. Fun towel animal.
Hudson likes to talk on the phone, so we just unplug it most of the time.
We then went over to Dave/Diane's adjoining rooms and sang Happy Birthday to Cameron again.
Then over to the evening play; The Golden Mickey's! Hudson fell asleep again!
At the play together!
It was a busy, fun packed day. We all made it on board and were ready to start our family Disney Cruise vacation! Oh yeah!!!
What we are grateful for this day:
November 25:
Steve- Family time on the cruise ship.
Penny- We finally got on Mickey's boat! We got to swim and go on the Aquaduck!
Nyles- Conor went to the play, The Golden Mickeys, and liked it!
Carter- We got on the ship!
Hudson- The cruise.
