In reviewing my Day 1 post, I totally forgot about the shipwreck drill and the Sail Away Party! The shipwreck drill (I'm pretty sure that isn't what they actually call it, but I like calling it that!) was boring and Logan fell asleep. We woke him up to head up to the top deck to enjoy the Sail Away Party. Boy those Disney characters have tons of energy on stage!!
Anyhow...onto our third day on the ship. It was supposed to be our day at Disney's private island, Castaway Cay, but Sandy apparently wrecked the island and Disney needed an extra day to clean up the island and prepare it for us so we spent Day 3 at sea.
Jeff took advantage of the day at sea getting a massage in the morning. I, on the other hand, took Logan to see the Disney Princesses. I'm pretty sure it was a good thing that I took him and not Jeff because poor Logan was the only boy in a very long line of girls waiting to see the princesses.
Logan loved the princesses and the princesses loved him! (and his blankie...)

| Cinderella asked all about Logan's blanket |
 |
| Logan was eating this up! |
 |
| He filled Princess Tianna in on his favorite tag on his blanket |
 |
| Check out that sly smile! |
 |
| A hug from Belle (she is Mommy's favorite!) |
 |
| Logan is no Beast! |
 |
| Princess Aurora |
 |
| I love this picture! |
 |
| Ariel...I was a little disappointed that she didn't have her mermaid tail! |
 |
| Logan didn't seem to mind. |
 |
| Snow White |
 |
| Snow White was the only princess that I recognized the person playing her from around the ship. It was kind of sad for me... |
Logan really liked the Princesses, but he really wanted to see Tinkerbell again. She wasn't there, so we headed off to the buffet for breakfast and then up to the deck for a little cold swimming. Once again, Mommy got to get in the pool with Logan while Daddy stayed warm...
We ate a wonderful lunch with a chilled strawberry soup to die for at the Royal Palace restaurant, but had to leave before dessert because Logan was getting restless. I think he knew who was waiting outside the restaurant for him...
 |
| Tink!! |
 |
| How cute is he?!? |
Now here is my only complaint for the ship. Yep, that is right, I have only one complaint! There is no rocking chair on board. Logan was in dire need of a nap and he was so tired that there were two options to get him to give in to sleep. Either rocking in a rocker with him or carrying him and walking nonstop until he fell asleep. Kudos to Jeff for wandering around the boat carrying Logan until he fell asleep. Disney-get some rockers!!!
So far, Logan had seen all the characters he wanted except for the elusive Pluto. Pluto never had any scheduled appearances and would always pop onto the deck above where we were and be gone by the time we made it up there. Finally, he was making an appearance with Mickey and his friends!
And they were in their Halloween costumes!!!
 |
| Chip and Dale as cop and robber |
 |
| Goofy as King Tut |
 |
| Minnie as Witch and Pluto as a candy corn (check out his sweet dance moves!) |
 |
| Logan had his toy Tink that he insisted we buy (Jeff was not happy!) and was showing it to the cop |
 |
| Hmmm... |
 |
| Oh no!! The robber took Tink! |
 |
| The chase is on. |
 |
| Logan was hilarious to watch. He didn't know what to think. |
 |
| Tink was saved! |
 |
| Logan is all smiles now! |
 |
| King Tut checking out Tinkerbell too |
 |
| Scary! |
 |
| Hugs. |
 |
| Logan wanted Minnie to know that Mickey was upstairs! |
 |
| Logan and Minnie |
 |
| More hugs |
 |
| Finally getting to rub Pluto's nose! |
 |
| Boy was Logan excited. |
 |
| Super Donald |
 |
| To the rescue! |
 |
| What a smile. |
 |
| Logan strikes a pose with Mickey |
The most exciting part of the Disney cruise is Pirate Night! Most of the day had different pirate themed things. Logan really enjoyed watching Peter Pan up on the top deck.
 |
| Arrrrgh |
Jeff was most excited about meeting Jack Sparrow!
 |
| Logan was not so sure. |
Jack Sparrow was really funny. He saw Logan's toy car and asked Logan how he shrunk a car? Heehee!
After meeting Jack, we headed off for the Pirate Dinner. Logan was excited because he got a corn dog for dinner.
 |
| Jeff and I at the pirate dinner |
 |
| Jeff is gonna kill me, but this picture is too funny! The photographer made him make a finger hook!! |
Following dinner, we headed up to the upper deck for the Pirates on the Caribbean show. It was really fun. They sang and danced and taught everyone how to be a pirate.
 |
| Logan with his new pirate light up sword |
 |
| All of their top deck shows did a really good job of integrating the big screen. |
 |
| Karaoke. Pirate style. |
 |
| Logan practicing his pirate moves |
 |
| He was pretty good! |
 |
| Logan and I also ran into Pirate Minnie on board! |
We decided to watch "The Odd Life of Timothy Green" that night. Good movie, by the way. Logan took a little snooze, but after it was over, we headed back up to the top of the ship for my most anticipated moment!! The Buccaneer Blast!
Our ship was taken over by Captain Hook, but Jack Sparrow and Mickey saved us. This was by far the coolest fireworks show I have ever been to. They tied the fireworks in to the story line and plus Disney is the only cruise line to do fireworks at sea!!
Logan was thoroughly exhausted, so it was off to bed in preparation for our last fun filled day!
Coming soon: Castaway Cay!!
