Day Before:

Embarkation: I didn't know what to expect and was actually planning for the worst. However, I was pleasantly surprised. We arrived at the port around noon. Disney truly has organization down pat. A porter whisked our bags away and we began our journey. The security line went smoothly as did the check in lines once we arrived in the terminal. There were lines for pictures with Minnie but everyone seemed to be patient and happy. I really can't tell you much more about the Terminal because we spent all of 15-20 minutes there. Our boarding numbers had already been called so we were able to board the ship immediately. The line for the Bon Voyage pictures seemed to be a bit long, but we bypassed the pictures and boarded right away. No complaints on Embarkation.

We met up with my sister and her family in Cabanas where there seemed to be ample seating inside and outside. The buffet lunch was great...fresh shrimp, salads, etc. By the time we finished our lunch it was 1:30 and our rooms were ready. We made our way to our cabins and lo and behold our suitcases had already arrived too! That was totally unexpected. Read more
