Disney Cruise - Saturday

 
 Saturday morning we got up and met everyone (all 17 of us) at the food court at the mall (inside the airport). After breakfast, we headed down to the Disney Cruise line buses and got all checked in and loaded on a bus.  Drew and Tina had made us matching shirts for our vacation, so we all wore them the first day.  It sure made it easier to find everyone!
 Grandpa, Lindsay, Emily and Grandma 
Uncle Kevin
Charlie, Christopher, Abby and Calissa  
 Once we got there and got checked in we just had to wait around until it was time to board. 
So ... we took a few pictures.  (Like Trav's eyebrow?)
 A picture of the cousins (minus Conner) with Minnie.  
 Almost ready to board.
Fun Christmas decorations in the terminal.
Once we boarded the ship, we all went to have lunch and then Calissa headed off with her cousins to check out the kids club. Trav, Conner and I headed up to get an ice-cream and get into our room.
A "selfie" on the balcony before we set sail.
 
 After the mandatory lifeboat drill, we headed up to deck 11 for the "Sailing Away" party!


 We danced and sang along with Mickey and the gang.

  Calissa and Lindsay got right up front.
 We heard the ship's horn, the streamers flew, and off we set on our magical vacation!

 Calissa dancing along! 

Our family as we set sail!
(It was weird to not have Parker with us!)
 There is nothing quite a beautiful as the sunset on the ocean! 

Relaxing in our room before getting ready for the first show and dinner.
The first night is the "Fantasy Come True" show. Buckets and Boards performed also.  We saw them on a previous cruise and LOVED them and were really excited to see them perform again.
They also had the Tree Lighting the first night as well.

 It was fun to have the ship decorated for Christmas even though we hadn't had Thanksgiving yet.
Our first night towel art.  Our stateroom host made each of our towel art this cruise out of our blanket.  It was pretty cool!
