Saturday, Last Day -- We're in Ensenada, Mexico

We woke to another sunny, clear, warm day. It's been this way the entire trip. Yeah! Today we were to meet in the Parrot Cay dining room for our Character Breakfast at 7:45. At this breakfast some of the traditional characters come by to sign autograph books or whatever and let you take pictures with them. Like in California Adventure in Disneyland, they have dressed in California style.

There were so many characters moving around it was hard to get a good picture. As the breakfast was ending the servers and assistant started taking napkins and turning us into characters. Of course we couldn't see ourselves, only the others. They even used the table cloths from the tables!

Dinner Time for the Last Time on the Disney Wonder (guess we'll have to start cooking agian)

Mickey led a parade of flags around and between all the tables with servers and other cast members carrying flags from every country represented on this cruise by both cast members and passengers. I think there were 60 countries.

There was a Good Bye Party in the lobby with all the characters

We were up at 7 A.M. the next morning for a relaxing breakfast in the same dining room we'd had dinner last night. I had the Route 66 which was really good. At 8:15 they called for Daisy Duck luggage tags and we were off the ship. No lines for Customs, pick luggage or anything. We were home by 10:30 and that counted a coffee break at McD's on Pacific Coast Hwy and our usual boxes of strawberries from the stand on Hueneme Road. It was a great week of Family and we loved it.

Friday, Day 6 -- San Diego

We docked right next to the Midway Museum

It was a good day for staying onboard and playing the in the pools

Peter Pan told the girls how they could scare Captain Hook who was in the atrium right below them.

Being that is was Pirates Night, Jack Sparrow was in another part of the ship

It was Pirate theme for dinner and they had bandanas to wear. Katie wore one but slept through dinner. We sailed south to Mexico and enjoyed a Pirate Party on the top decks. Even Minnie Mouse dressed as a pirate!

You should have seen us all doing the Hand Jive followed by the Twist and then some Line Dancing. Kids were doing it better than me.

Mickey flew across the sky to save the ship from the Pirates. This was followed by fireworks set off from the back of the ship. Beautiful display in typical Disney fashion.

Thursday, Day 5 -- Sea Day

We spent the day sailing along the California Coast -- too much cloud cover to see land.

Dinner was semi-formal (which for us meant casual again)

Watching "Tangled" on the big screen. They had 4 types of hot pizza, hot cocoa, coffee, teas, and cold milk and soft drinks

Wednesday, Day 4 -- Another day in San Francisco

We woke to another sunny day in San Francisco but not as hot as yesterday.

We also did some walking around  on Pier 39

I watched and watched this guy doing a card trick in the Magic Store -- I finally gave up and went a few doors down for coffee.

Back to the ship -- lunch and swimming pools!

We sailed back under the Golden Gate Bridge around 10 PM

Can you tell what it is? A Bear, last night's was a horse but we didn't get a clear picture.

Those big white things that Kailyn & Kalissa have on their wrists and Katie has on her ankle are GPS devices that the ship provides so they go to the kids clubs and be secure.

Tuesday, Day 3 San Francisco

We sailed under the Golden Gate when most where still in bed. We're docked next to Pier 39 on Fisherman's Wharf and we'll be here till 10:00 tomorrow night. Beautiful and very, very hot today.

Breakfast

Pixar Characters are everywhere!

We decided to take a walk. It was near 90 degrees!

Seems everyone likes to watch the sea lions but the boat owners

Katie got a shark puppet -- that's been her favorite animal since before she was two. The shark spent the remainder of the cruise attacking Bob much to Katie's delight.

Back to the ship for pool time and Cards (Hand and Foot)

In the back of Beach Blanket Buffet on Deck 9 in the open area of tables and chairs -- Aft
