We have returned from our first Disney vacation on the Magic cruise ship down to Cozumel. We had a blast with plenty to do on the ship from pools with slides, movie theaters, live shows, buffets and of course the characters. The first day was at sea. We spent most of the day in the pool. Occasionally we would dry off long enough to have chicken strips brought to us poolside and say 'hi' to a character. By our second character visit Aron was onto the Disney ploy and wanted to know why their was a man in the costume but once he knew he was more open to going up and meeting them. Aden on the other hand was in Mickey heaven. He picked himself up a Mickey doll right away, who immediately made the ranks next to Puppy.
In Cozumel we took a taxi to Chankanaab beach which is a national park with man-made beaches and pint sized lagoons. The boys were able to play on the shore and swim with the fish while mommy and daddy enjoyed cold beer under a cabana. Aden spent much of his time there scouting out iguanas.
On the way back we went back to the pool, partied with pirates, danced with Cinderella and went to a pajama party with Pluto.
All in all much success, however mommy and daddy now need a vacation without so much excitement.
Weekend outtakes:
- After ingesting too much sea water, Aron vomits all over Alex who covertly hides himself in a public bathroom so not to create an international incident.
- Wanting to go to the Men's room solo, Aron spent 15 minutes of quality time alone while mommy waited outside the bathroom until a stranger asked her if she was waiting for someone; possibly a little boy in a red shirt, pooping with the door wide open, yelling for mama to wipe his butt?
- Aden is too impatient waiting for a show to start and squirming in his chair spills daddy's highball 7/7, and thus daddy spends the entire show liquor-soaked smelling like "that dad!"
