We had arrived a little earlier than expected but there was already a sizable line. I must admit that Disney has a way to keep a line moving and before we knew it, we were at security. Deb of course set off the metal detector, and needed to be ushered to the side for a metal wanding. The rest of us, tried to ignore her, in case she didn't make it through. It only lasted a couple of minutes, as Chloe kept saying MA.. MA...MA... Fortunately, Deb made it through security.
Interesting Kid Fact
Chloe now has two words... MA... and WHAZAT... they can apply to any situation and to understand her, you need to focus on the situation, and the her emphasis on the syllables.
Interesting Travel Fact
There were no Tim Hortons between the hotel and the Disney Cruise Centre, and therefore the journey was quite quick.
We than proceeded with our check in, and I decided to see about upgrading our rooms. It was a long shot, but upgrades were available. But with every bit of good news comes some bad news. The upgrade from our room, was to a master suite and Disney was not upgrading for free, so we passed on it.
We were given a boarding number and sent to the chairs to wait for the official boarding. With TV screens and leather type couches, the wait was not very long. Chloe took a few minutes to stroll the area looking for any large mice that may be there, and to her surprise found one.
Interesting Travel Fact #2
Disney cruises are an exciting affair for many people and when they call a boarding number, 50 or so people are admitted to the line to go on the boat. Some do not always have the class to calmly walk to the staging area, but rather run like buffalo. Chloe narrowly escaped injury. It also appears that knocking over a baby to get on a cruise ship does not require a look back or an apology. This may be a new trend, and I welcome others to run like a zebra being chased by a lion to the nearest lineup and try taking out a small child.
After escaping possible trauma or death, our number was called and we boarded the ship, having our family name called out to all, with mild applause. Apparently, the new Tim Horton's travel system has not caught on, and my fame has not been assured.
Interesting Disney Cruise Travel Fun Fact
Which item is longer from tip to tip, the Eiffle Tower or the Disney Cruise Ship.
We spent the majority of our afternoon unpacking, and exploring the boat.
