Thanksgiving Disney Cruise

For Thanksgiving we decided to get out of town and do a Disney Cruise with the kids.  It was fabulous!  They catered to the kids which made my vacation actually a vacation! They even cut my kids meat at meal times for me.....sigh.
 Setting Sail Party!
Off to the Mexican Riviera!

CHARACTER BREAKFAST 
 Every family gets assigned a Character Breakfast.  We were able to meet Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Pluto, & Chip n Dale.

 The servers made all the kids cartoon hats out of napkins.
 All the Ladies with Minnie!
 
 The kids loved running around swimming, playing sports, and getting ice cream.

Every night there was an amazing show! Sadly Kamryn slept through half of them.
This is Kamryn at night.........
 ......and this is what she looked like in the morning. Check out that Donald Trump hair!

 PUERTO VALLARTA
 Our first stop was in Puerto Vallarta. We did a family excursion where we took a Pirate Ship out to a private beach.  They provided us with meals, drinks, and lots of entertainment.
 Exploring the pirate ship and getting locked up in jail.

 Arrrrr Pirates, Drew won that shirt for volunteering feed his mom baby food in front of the crowd. Great. We were both blind folded so it was all over, even in my hair! He had to dance in the end for it.
 The private beach, it was gorgeous, but the waves were too rough.

 Travis was smart and wrote our initials on Lover's Beach, because just on the other side where the waves are rough it is call Divorce Beach!

CABO SAN LUCAS DAY #2
 
We were only in Cabo till noon this day.  The 3 younger kids didn't want to leave the boat, so we put them in their clubs and left for the morning with the older girls.  I was comfortable leaving them there if they stayed in their clubs, but later I found out that Travis gave the boys a key to the room so they could go where they wanted! This is how their day went down: they swam without sunblock, played sports, accidentally kicked a soccer ball off the cruise boat, ate 5 ice creams cones & about 7 slices of pizza! Luke said it was one of the best days of his life....I am  sure it was!  Meanwhile us and the girls went to Medano Beach and did some souvenir shopping.
 Kennedy ended up getting stung by a jelly fish! Ouch, it blistered up (it's hard to see in the picture)

 Travis and I enjoying the beach and little did we know the boys were running amuck on the boat behind us!
Amuck-usually means “to run about in a wild manner,”As a noun, amuck can mean “a murderous frenzy.”
 Kamryn was able to learn a dance with Minnie and perform it for us!  She  loved her club, she was able to have story time with Belle, and learn how to dance like a princess from Cinderella!
 
 This is Kamryn at the last show. She said she didn't want to go home, and I told her that all her friends would miss her. She told me she has new ones in the "club".
The Salisbury kids with our servers Kristina and Arsa!
 Kamryn told me she wanted Arsa to come home with us.  I thought it was so cute that I told Arsa that Kamryn wanted to ask him something.  When he asked her what she wanted she said "Will you come be our servant?" Ummmm not what I was expecting. He said "What?" and I quickly covered it up saying "She wants you to come visit":) Let's hope he really didn't understand her!
 
Amazing trip, highly recommend it, Disney always does it right!
