Oh no, today is the day we new that would come! We are forced to leave the ship…

Our suitcase were already picked up by the staff yesterday and with just our hand luggage and a stroller we left for breakfast one last time. Breakfast on the last day is at the same restaurant were you had dinner the night before, but at 7am!!!

But still we had a nice relaxed breakfast, until I figured out that I lost my Key to the World card somewhere. Probably while carrying Emily around. So I couldn’t leave the ship! But I unfortunately that is not how it worked, I need to get in line with Guest Relations to get a new card.

After I got my new card we did one more restroom stop before we left the ship for the last time this trip. In the terminal we needed to gather our suitcase, 2 were found quickly but one was not in our section. We panicked for a little bit and started searching for it. Finally in the second to last section I found it, what a relieve.

Getting a taxi wasn’t so magical either many people were stressing as they booked a (too) early flight and this resulted in a mess a the taxi stand which looked pretty good organized before.

Finally we got ourselves a taxi and in roughly 30 minutes we were in the airport waiting in line for a spot to park…and then another taxi hit our taxi. The bump was at a very low speed so nothing happened, the taxi wasn’t even damaged. But our driver was completely shook up. He started unloading the suitcases and we got out of the car, while everything was off loaded he stood there wishing us a good flight. We waited for him to pull out the payment terminal when he asked were we waiting for, we told him to pay. At that moment he woke up, gave me a hug and we paid for the ride.

Off to checking, this went quick as well because we has Vueling Family tickets with a preferred check-in and a special line through security. This left us with 3 hours to go until take-off.

We spend the majority of the time at the Starbucks before we went to the gate. At the gate we learned that we had a 30 minute delay which ended up being closer to an hour.

We didn’t fly home, we flew to Paris Orly! We added 5 days to our vacation in Disneyland Resort Paris, you can newer have enough magic in your life! The first night we stayed in a Novotel hotel at the airport as we arrived late in the afternoon.

We had a simple dinner at the McDonalds before we went to bed.

Good morning Disney Magic! We started of with some celebrities, the first one was Daisy Duck in her sailor outfit. While waiting in line for Daisy we saw the Princess Gathering downstairs, this is a ticketed event for which you need to reserve upfront, you only get to do this one time and we did this on the first day of the cruise already.

But the line was very short and I took my chance asked if we would be allowed to go one more time, the answer was yes! Right away we could get in line but we first wanted to have a picture with Pluto.

The line was short but the princess took a lot of time to chat with Emily, she proudly showed them all her new bracelets with beads of the princesses.

Right after we went in line for a picture with Character breakfast where Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse and Goofy visit your table. The breakfast is table service and we were lucky enough to get our own servers for breakfast. Emily might have been more excited about the fact that Alejandro was serving us as Disney friends visiting us.

After breakfast we had a royal meeting with the Queen and Princess of Arendelle, as known as Elsa and Anna from Frozen.

Now we needed to hurry as Mickey Mouse was meeting and this was our last chance with the photographers from Shutters taking the pictures.

After this meeting it was time for another 1,5 hours in the Oceaneer Club for Emily, not something she particularly likes but she can’t join us on the Chocolate and Liquor tasting in Keys which is a 18+ bar.

The tasting was awesome, even better as the Champagne tasting from the night before. It gave a whole new dimension to drinking wine, champagne, port and whiskey. Something I would absolutely do again.

We picked up Emily, took a picture with Mickey Mouse and we went back to our room. Here Emily took a afternoon nap while Danielle and I, ok mainly Danielle, packed our suitcases. And again everything fitted in! We got a bit lucky here as Vueling raised the luggage allowance from 23kg to 25kg.

After Emily woke up we did another round of characters but there were no more professional photographers anymore.

The last night we had dinner in the restaurant were we started: Animator’s Palate. This time we were drawing a figure on a placemat which was later scanned in and part of the show.

After the show we walked around the ship a little bit, bought the last souvenirs before it was time for Disney Dreams – An Enchanted Classic! Maybe the best show of the week, or maybe just as good as the 2 other shows we saw.

After the show we went right back to our room as it was bed time for all of us while tomorrow we need to be present at breakfast at 7:00am!
