Disney Dream 2015 - Day 1;Embarkation

Embarkation went much smoother this time than with our last cruise because we are Castaway Club members now.  We went through security than was immediately directed to a line for checkin.  Our first day on ship was a whirlwind of excitement.  

Lunch was amazing assortment of seafood like crabs,shrimp & mussels and typical children's items like pizza,burgers & hotdogs.YUM.

Soon after lunch we were able to checkout our verandah suite with a huge balcony.  

Even Brooke was as excited as a 5 year old.  While exploring the ship the girls greeted familiar friends.  

Finally it was time for our SailAway Party.

  The girls worked their way to the stage.

we hung out on the front of ship.

Dinner was French food at the Royal Palace. 

Once our oldest wanted to sit at a bigger table and I was telling her it wouldn't be possible, our waiter overheard my comment & quickly asked what it was she wanted promising to do everything possible to get it.  I'm sure he meant it but we chose to stay put.  Our girls were certainly treated like royalty and they loved our waiter.

Their every wish was quickly met by the waitstaff.  They even made ketchup fun!   

While we had escargot, baked Brie &  Potato soup, the girls had salads.  We all chose the chateaubriand and it was delish!

After dinner, the girls met up with more old friends!

The nights finale was front row seats for the Golden Mickey's production.  It was a great show.

After the show Paige raced to the cabin to discover what her latest towel animal would be.  Racing to our cabin after dinner to see her towel animal turned out to be a nightly ritual for her.
