Part 2
I met up with Jen and Claire at Soul Cat Lounge for some Disney+ trivia. Rob said he was going to go get some ice cream and meet us down there. He (re)discovered that they had "Dole Whip" so he spent way too much money on something that is not Dole Whip.
He's done this before, saw the sign for the so-called Dole Whip and bought it and then realized that it was not really Dole Whip, more like pineapple slushie but he's like Dory and keeps forgetting.
Oh look, Dole Whip!
His face when I told him that he's done this before and that it's not real DW. Poor guy!
This was the first time we had played this particular trivia. We weren't sure what to expect. We knew most of the answers but there were many where we had NO CLUE about! Kira did join us eventually too and helped with some questions that we didn't know. I think we came in fourth on this one.
Next up was Movie Tunes Trivia in Fathoms, which was a lot of fun because it was hosted my Hanah and we just love her!
We did really well at this one and ended up winning! I was hoping for a character medal but it just so happens that the one trivia that we won, it was a non-character medal.
Sorry, that was a bit of a spoiler alert.
Tonight was Twice Charmed and since we hadn't seen it in so long and well, we had to wait until dinner anyway, we all went to see this together.
Please don't be like Oswald over there in the front row and wear your ears during the show. We all know you look super cute in those Mickey Ears but really, take them off for an hour so other people can also enjoy the show.
They've definitely updated the show since the last time since technology has changed drastically since we had last watched it but I do kind of miss the old ways. Still, it was good, probably better than I remembered it but I'm good for another decade or so now.
Next up was dinner at Animator's Palate, where we arrived to an entire basket of the delicious pretzel bread from Rapuzels.
Cris rocks!
Kira was feeling a little under the weather but managed to join us for dinner anyway. She was quiet and didn't eat much. She ended up with a fever that night and feeling a little nauseous. She had a rough night but she was back to normal the next day. Kids are weird!
I have to laugh at Jen's weird looking arm in this photo. It looks detached, like it's someone else's arm.
I had changed into my Mickey Santa shirt for dinner. You'll see me wear it again the next day but I just wore it to dinner and then changed out of it and it was still clean, so no judgey-judgey!
Purseittes, yum!
Baked potato soup, double yum!
Rob's butternut squash soup.
My entrée.
Kira's...
Cris also knows that Jen and I love risotto so he arranged for a big bowl of it for us this evening.
I had asked for a potato from another dish and Cris brought out a few of them, since he knows we all like them.
Tonight was the little show and Rob was excited about his MB lighting up.
Sorcerer Mickey made an appearance.
And then all of the servers come out to wave.
On the left is our assistant server, Stevan. He was good but very quiet, it was often difficult to hear what he was saying.
Here is Rob ordering all of the desserts.
Kira's fave again! She had ordered it but had left to go lay down before it arrived so I ended up taking it back to the room with me for her.
This brownie cheesecake is always a hit or miss for me. Sometimes it's amazing and sometimes it's nasty. Tonight it was the latter.
But that was okay, I wanted pool time and I needed to get Kira's ice cream to her before she left so I had one bite and then left.
Rob and all of his desserts.
Just as I was leaving, Cris brought this out. I have no idea why but it was a lovely touch and it was devoured before I could even leave the table!
On my way out, I spotted this. How awesome that they did this for the kids!!
Nice touch, Disney!
Back to the room, here's our gift they always leave for us on Christmas Eve.
I headed to the pool! Since Rob had enjoyed sitting over by Signals so much, that was where I put my stuff. There was a couple enjoying the pool when I got there but they almost immediately left once I got in.
Rob joined me shortly thereafter and I enjoyed my one-hour swim and even got some hot tub time in.
Stay tuned for Christmas Day on this glorious ship.
