Our last port day was spent in Cozumel. I loved the how the coast looked as we approached. Today we had different plans. My parents had booked a private excursion to drives jeeps and then go snorkeling. We were just going to take a walk into Cozumel and see if we couldn't buy a few souvenirs.
We spent a little time walking around but honestly, we didn't have a great time. First of all, right when you get off the ship it look just like a mall...nothing special.
2nd of all, the vendors were very aggressive. At one point I thought they were going to physically grab us and pull us into their store. Eric bought a few coconut bracelets and the baby got a set of Maraca's, but after that we got back on the ship.
Bringing the baby on the cruise was an amazing experience, but there were moments when it made things more difficult. I'm very disappointed that we didn't go to the beach. We traveled all the way to Mexico and never even got in the water. It was our choice because most of Disney's excursion wouldn't allow us to take Kennedy and we didn't feel comfortable taking a taxi or shuttle to the beach without a car seat for her. I'd definitely consider cruising to Mexico again when she's older or just as adults.
Tonight was Semi-Formal night and also the night we had planned for Kennedy to wear her Princess dress!!
Now I'd like to share with you one of our favorite moments of the entire trip...if not the TOP moment. Kennedy loves the characters. She hasn't really met the Princesses and doesn't get as excited as say, Chip and Dale, but she has a great time. Our first character of the night was Snow White.
As we approached her Snow White said, "Why Kennedy, it is lovely to see you again!"
We were SHOCKED! Dumfounded!! How did she know Kennedy's name? We hadn't met her yet. We looked around to see if maybe they were feeding her lines...but nope! She had a lovely little moment with Kennedy and we left for the next character. We were so confused for the rest of the evening!
Later on when we dropped Kennedy off in the nursery, we mentioned to the Cast Members what had happened. How in the world did Snow know Kennedy?? Well it turns out earlier in the week, not only had Snow White stopped by the nursery, but so had Cinderella!! They both spent some time playing with the babies and Snow White had remembered her!! It was quite the magical moment for us!
Next up was Mickey Mouse!!!
I'll be doing one more post with a recap of the cruise, tips and hints and maybe even a few more pictures!!
Amazing that Snow White remembered her!!! And so cool you got to see Wreck it Ralph!
ReplyDeleteThat is so neat that Snow White remembered Kennedy's name! So cool! That is what I love about Disney. They always do it right and make it special.
