Emmett and I shared a seat and sat next to Laura and Brayden at the front of the plan where no one sat in front of you. It was really nice because Emmett sat on the floor and played with toys for some of the flight. At take off Brayden and Emmett shared the seat by the window to see all the other airplanes and trams that were busy around the airport.
Other times, we were walking up and down the airplane and into first class where Nana and Papa (my parents) got upgraded for free! Papa did switch for a few minutes with Emmett and he loved having his own huge seat in first class while playing with seat belt buckles.
When we landed in Orlando, we just walked over to board our bus that would take us to our cruise. Emmett had been up since 3:45 AM and I knew how tired he was, so I gave him a little milk, told him it was night night time, and strapped in the Ergo baby, he fell asleep for the 50 minute bus ride to our cruise ship.
When we arrived, Brayden and Travis were super excited, Emmett woke up and was excited too! We got off our bus, walked through security, checked in, and boarded in like 30 minutes. It was super efficient.
When you boarded a Disney person asked what mine and Emmett's last night was. I told them and then they announce you to the whole ship with probably 15-20 other Disney people clapping to welcome you. We felt like stars!!!
It was around noon, FL time and we were all pretty hungry. So we made our way for some lunch. WOW was there a lot to choose from, but Emmett had salmon with some rice and corn. While I had a little swordfish, prosciutto, mozzarella & tomato sandwich, and chocolate chip mint ice cream! All very yummy!
Then we went exploring the ship! We found a few of the restaurants where we'll have dinner, and some cool port hole windows to sit and look out at the water, as well as some familiar friends!
I thought Emmett was going to be super shy, but he was so excited to see the Pluto and Goofy. He gave them kisses, hugs, and high fives. When I had to peel him away, he cried and signed for more.
Then Emmett had his 4th poopy diaper of the day and I went and changed him. As we were leaving, his hands were by the door and his ring, middle and pointer finger got caught in the hinge of the door! He screamed, I ran him to the bar for some ice, and then I of course, started tearing up because I felt so bad! I found my mom and she helped me calm him down. Our rooms were ready so we walked up to the room where I laid him down on the bed. We iced for a while, put a band-aid on his pointer because it was also cut and then I softly squeezed each of them to see if it hurt him. He didn't seem to make a fuss when I did that so I'm thinking they aren't broken.
Here's Emmett laying down and icing his fingers! Poor guy, but such a trooper:
He was so tired, especially after all that, so we put him down for a nap. He actually fell asleep at 2:25 pm and slept for 2 hours.
After nap, we attended the sail away party! Travis made his way to the front, Joe was holding Brayden and I had Emmett on my shoulders for a bit but then moved to my arms and then to Papa's shoulders. Emmett got the most excited I have ever seen him before when Mickey & Minnie came out on the balcony over looking everyone and dancing! He was waving to them, reaching out so far to wave and point and laughing and smiling like crazy! It was seriously an unbelievable moment to see the excitement come over Emmett! SO FUN!!
Here you can see Emmett's little hand reaching out to wave!
Then we went outside and watch as the boat set sail! We actually saw 1 solo dolphin swimming by our boat!
Finally, it was time to head back to the room and great ready for dinner. You get to rotate dinning halls on this cruise but your waiters stay with you throughout the trip! Our first dinning room was more of a french style restaurant. All the adults got the chateaubriand bourses filet! It was outstanding!
Emmett ate the pork tenderloin with some rice and veggies. He was getting fussy and asking for more and pointing and I couldn't figure out what he was asking for, but then Papa saw a big piece of the pork on the table and that's exactly what he wanted! Totally Tony's son! ha
After and fun and long day, we went back to our rooms and got the kids to bed and we unpacked! We were all very happy to be here and can't wait for a fun day at sea tomorrow!
