Cruising...Disney Style

Ava was just as excited to see the ship as she was to get on the plane. It also was a good thing to see Minnie Mouse welcome us aboard :)


Almost on the ship!!








When we arrived on board the ship...they announced us - "Let's welcome the Shores' Family on board"...

Then as we walked into the main atrium, we looked up and saw SNOW WHITE crossing the balcony - Ava was the only little princess around so she had Snow White's undivided attention. It was truly magical to see the look on Ava's face...I was so focused on getting a picture of Ava's facial expression that I didn't even get a first photo of Snow White...oh well.

Only my overly exhausted child would FiGhT us to rest while we waited for the lifeboat drill - then fall asleep just 10 minutes before it started!

Fortunately for us, our muster leader was very kind and she let us come back to our room after we had checked in. Ava did't sleep any after that but it was nice to skip out of the drill early!
