Disney Wonder

On Sunday we woke up early and took the hotel transfer to the port. It was so incredibly easy. Not only did they take you there but they took care of our luggage as well. Once we got off we did not see them again until they were in our room.

Up until now Kaylie wanted nothing to do with Mickey's ship. When we woke up to get ready she finally said she was ready to get on and was excited to see Mickey and Minnie.

Waiting to get onto the boat. They had movies playing, snack bars, and Mickey and Minnie out for a picture.

Our first family vacation picture.

"Hooray" for Mickey's boat.


Apparently lil miss is scared to death of Mickey but no so much of Minnie so when Mickey went on his break and Minnie stepped in Kaylie wanted to see her.

It is hard to tell but she actually freaked out as we walked up to her. That is why she is with daddy placed as far out as she can be.

We tried for a hug but settled for a kiss that she blew to Minnie to say good bye. At least she looked back.

Once on the ship we immediately headed up to the nursery to make sure they had our times Kaylie would be there. We decided she would eat with us the first night but every night after that we had her there to play. It was the greatest thing we could have done. After one night of her climbing all around the table and chairs and almost becoming a few speed bumps for the waiters we realized she needed to be there. The best part was she would go in completely overstimulated and come back calm and ready to do something. It was quite enough for her to desensitize herself.

While we waited, we were the only ones on this floor so we took advantage of the long hallways in hopes that maybe she would take a nap in the room. It was definitely wishful thinking.

I love this picture. You can see her reflection in it.

Since Kaylie was not potty trained she was not allowed to be left without us in the kids club but could be in there with us. We took advantage of exploring this right away so she could have some time to play and get used to it before it was complete chaos. Their were some scary parts for her so being able to try things a bunch of times with out being pushed all over the place made it easier the next time we went to play.

This scared her but she doesn't give up.

Poor Mickey...she wanted nothing to do with him. She was terrified of him.

Emergency drill. I love the life jacket Kaylie got. It had sleeves and a hood for her. Everyone should have that. Any way...I was shocked. I really didn't think she was going to let us put it on her.

This is her "I have had enough pictures" pose. Even with that she didn't cry or throw a fit once.

Our setting sail deck party. Kaylie was overstimulated at first but began to get into it as the characters started to come out.

It impressed me how much they stressed movement. They were constantly dancing and encouraging everyone to join in.

Right after we pulled anchor we went to the front of the boat to watch us sail off. Kaylie really enjoyed herself. I was shocked.

The one meal she joined us with. I think she was only in her chair for about 5 minutes.

After dinner sunset.
Gift shop fun.
She had to have her pirates telescope.
Each night a new towel animal was on our bed. She would get so excited to see what it was. Shortly after the excitement wore off she would undo it, sit down on the bed and lick the chocolate before giving it to mommy or daddy to finish off.
When she saw her bed made and her animals out she screamed, dropped what she was doing, and jumped into be.

By the end of the trip and with no nap taken Kaylie would fall asleep in the most random places. This was during one of the shows. She was out cold.
