The reason we were stopped for a while was because for those of you who didn't hear, my ship made history by becoming the first passenger vessel to go through the new Panama Canal locks. That's right, folks! I really was part of the occasion. In honor of it, there was a private ceremony involving some of the Panamanian dignataries and the CEO of Disney Cruise Line. He is in the white-ish blue shirt and this was taken from deck 10. You will see a plague they gave the ship a little later.

Day 11- May 2, 2017- We all Live in A Pirate Submarine, Cute Boys

After a busy formal night, I started off the day with Family Animation. To get in the mood for Pirate night, we would draw Tick Tock the Crocodile from Peter Pan. my next activity would be seeing Chip and Dale before picking up the 3D Pirate Crafts and having lunch. While I was eating lunch, you could see Dolphins which was neat. After lunch, I went to go see Tink before getting ready for pirate night.

Once I got changed, I went to 3D Villains Bowling Pins Crafts before meeting Pirate Stitch and Captain Hook. I wasn't able to see Smee but that was ok. Then, I headed up to Preludes to wait in this ridiculous line for Captain Jack Sparrow. I ended up waiting a good, 25 minutes for Captain Jack Sparrow which was good because I figured the lines would be crazy. On my way to our Pirate dinner, I ended up going to see Goofy and Minnie. The servers were all dressed in their pirate outfits and even did a show too.

After dinner, I went to 90s Music Trivia. I was born in 1995 so I thought I could give it a try. I ended up teaming with this other couple and we did well. Among the songs we got right (and I knew) were Wannabe by the Spice Girls, Bye Bye Bye by NSYNC, Achy Breaky Heart by Billy Ray Cyrus, and Livin La Vida Luca by Ricky Martin. Had it been 2000s music trivia, I would have done better. One team ended up getting over 50. That night, the show was Liverpool Legends, the Beatles Tribute band. They were so funny and I loved them. They did make us sing along and were surprised that to see us in our Pirate gear. One of the songs they made us sing was the Yellow Submarine which explains the first part of my title. After the show, I met them (of course) and went to bed.


Up Next: What are we doing with Pasta?, Will Finding Dory be as good as I remembered?, Who will the Pixar characters be?
 
Day 12- Pasta, Pixar, Never Had a Friend Like Me, Lots of Fish

Time for Sea Day #7. I would begin the day with a yummy breakfast before going to Princess and Mardi Gras crafts as well as Animation: Ray the Firefly. On my way to lunch, I went to watch some of the boat contest which was interesting. That afternoon, the adult only activity was in the Lab. The activity was 4th Pigs Pasta Palace where you built a house out of Pasta and hope the different ways of destroying your house didn't work. :lmao:My house sadly, was not one of the houses that surived. :rotfl2: It was pretty funny to watch though.

Before heading to dinner, I saw Russell from Up, Mickey, Jessie and Mrs. Incredible. That night, I would be eating at Animator's Palate. I was really excited because we would be doing Animation Magic. You got to draw a character and it would appear in a show on the screens. I loved doing this. After dinner, I went to see Sulley, :sulley: Mickey and Minnie, and Jessie (by accident, I thought it was Woody going to be where she was :rotfl2:). That night, I skipped the Crew Talent Show in favor of Finding Dory. It was still a good movie and I liked seeing Baby Dory. After the movie, I went to see Remy, Emile, Woody, Jessie, and Mr. Incredible before calling it a night.


Up Next: Will I be glad I waited 2 years for this, Who is the show and will I like them? Will I get a Magic Moment? What is the Cabaret? Stay tuned
 
Day 13- May 4, 2017- Gimme Gimme Gimme a Casual Night, May the Fourth be in Puerto Vallarta, Beaches, Pools, Cabaret

After nearly 2 years and five sea days, we were finally in Puerto Vallarta. In 2015, there was civil unrest which prevented us from docking there. :sad2: This time, we would be doing an excursion. We would be visiting an all inclusive resort where you could go to the beach, the pools and explore the resort. I was actually supposed to do this exact excursion in 2015 as I mentioned earlier. :sad: The beach was nice and I had a blast going in the pool (where I spent the majority of my time there). :beach: Lunch was also included in the excursion so there were hot dogs, chips, burgers, fries, and different sauces.

In case you wondering the first part of today's title, here it is. That night was none other than, surprise!! Semi formal night. :scared1: That night's show was Abba Fab so I thought it would be appropriate to add a part of their song lyric to the title. What was Darren thinking?! :confused3 In addition, that day was also May the Fourth for all you Star Wars nerds. Unfortunately, you couldn't dress in your Star Wars gear due to this. :sad2: They also didn't do anything at all for May the Fourth, much to dismay. :sad2: :darth: But enough mushy gushy.

That night was the long awaited Mardi Gras in Tiana's Place. I was so excited to see the kids menu there. For those of you cruising in the future on the Wonder, feel free to ask for the kids menu there. It is really cute. I loved meeting Louis the alligator for the first time. The characters I would see today were Rapunzel, Goofy, Belle, Mickey, Cinderella, and Daisy. As I mentioned earlier, the show that night was none other than AbbaFab. If you guys are expecting them to sound like the real Abba, that is not the case. It was a little shocking hearing that the blonde woman, the keyboardist, and the pianist were all the mother, father, and son. :eek: They (the group) told us "Feel free to take any videos and photos as you want" so I did, as did the man sitting next to me. During the show, the blonde woman says "This is the best tour ever! Not only are we going to go alot of places, this is my son". :scared1: Wait, what?! You've been singing songs about being flirty, and you're doing this in front of your son?! :faint: At one point, the blonde woman was singing into this man's video camera which was hilarious. I was actually sitting next to the man. In the same song, she walked into the row behind me which brought back memories of seeing Donny Osmond a few years ago when he walked into the row behind me. :rotfl2: In the next song, the son came off stage at some point. All of a sudden, he grabs my phone (I was recording it), did a 360 and even had them sing into it. :eek: OMG! I was shocked when he came up to me. For those of you at the 8:30 show that day, I was the lucky young woman whose phone was taken by the son.

After the show, I did meet them and then forced my mom (who I did not know until later did not like them) to get in the picture with me. :lmao:This is rare because normally, I do not let them get in pictures with me. Once that was done, I went to see more characters (of course) before heading to my last activity of the day, Mainstage Cabaret featuring several of the Walt Disney Theatre people. I was really impressed. They sang When I Grow up from Matilda (the whole group), something from Singing in the Rain, Mama I'm a Big Girl now from Hairspray (the girls), Grease Lightning (the boys), and some other Broadway songs. I love Hairspray so I was really excited (2nd favorite musical behind Newsies). One of the girls sang a beautiful rendition of Somewhere Over the Rainbow and another girl sang Disneyland. Some other people performed too and the group ended with Friend Like Me. I was so impressed with them and I actually knew some of the people when I would wait for characters. When they signed my autograph book, I made them write who they were so I could remember. I ended up taking pictures with Sven, Cruella de Vil, Belle/Rapunzel, Aladdin and a Lion King singer.


Up Next: Will we see seals, what kind of boat ride is this, Will I like Guardians of the Galaxy? Stay tuned

Hi everyone! Here are the pictures from May the 4th:
KJpL6nl.jpg

I did this excursion which my parents had promised we could do in 2015. Unfortunately, it was canceled due to civil unrest :sad2: so I was excited to go this time. It was a trip to a resort where you could go to their beaches and pools, as well as explore the resort. Lunch was included too. This is the view from one of the lounge chairs

Me with AbbaFab, an Abba tribute band, aka the show that night. L-R: The drummer, the guitarist, the blonde singer, me, the brunette singer, the keyboardist/pianist (believe it or not, that is actually the blonde woman's son, no joke) and the keyboardist (his dad)
1ardGje.jpg

This is the son with me. During "Does your Mother Know", he comes out into the audience (I was in the front row) and all of a sudden, he grabs my phone (I was recording it, they told us feel free to record/take photos), does a 360, has the band sing into it and hands it back to me. I was shocked and you will see him again on one of the last night's posts.

After AbbaFab left, Mickey and his handler Nicole came out. The photographer had not shown up yet and I thought it would be fun to have her in one of my pics. I had just taken one with just Mickey and I. You will see her again in a later post

Me with Darren, the cruise director. He was British and I have no idea how I kept running into him throughout the cruise :rotfl2: I have to admit, I was pretty spoiled having Clayton on my previous cruises. I did like Darren
