Maddy enjoying the Mickey PoolOur last day at sea started off nice and slow.  I woke up early to work on the trip report a bit, and the girls slept in until about 9 or 9:30.  We had planned on going to Lumiere's for breakfast, but they stopped serving at 9:30 so we went to Topsiders once again.  Good as always.  The pool was not too crowded yer, and we got some good seats near the Mickey Pool.  The girls enjoyed the slide before it got too busy, and then we spent a bit of time in the Goofy Pool.    I left to head back to the room and get ready to go to see an 11am Behind the scenes presentation, but it was already after 11am when I got back to the cabin.  This Mickey Slide is GREAT!So I relaxed on the verandah, and read for a bit.  Got ready just before the family returned at 1pm so we could all get ready to go see the 2pm matinee of Disney Dreams.  What a wonderful show this is!  Do NOT miss it if you go on he cruise.  So many great characters, and the story is quite cute. 

 After the show the girls wanted to hit Mickey's Mates (the ship store) again, so off we went.  This time Kristen and I got some goodies as well.  A couple nice frames (one that fits those elusive 6x8 pictures!) ;-) and another with a cardboard insert with various shapes cut out to hold your photos. 
A couple of Goofy SailorsWe took that cardboard insert out of the frame and dropped it off at Guest Services.  They would have the characters sign it for us!  That should make for a great way to display some photo memories!  :-)  Now if we can just get it home in one piece --- Its a rather large frame! 

 Tonight is our Palo Dinner so the girls are off to the Oceaneer Club for dinner and some fun.  Brinn is happy because they are making Flubber again, so she gets to try it too.  Maddy is just as happy to make it again as well!   Kristen and I got ready and headed up to Palo about 20 minutes early.   We requested Louise's section and this was no problem.  She was as prompt and super courteous as our first visit, and we really enjoyed her as a server.  She made GREAT suggestions for our meal, and everything was delicious.   I lucked out that tonight was 'Lobster' night, so they had lobster tail available as a special. 
Kristen looking lovely outside PaloI ended up with the Tenderloin and Lobster tail (not on the menu, just ask to add a tail to the Tenderloin selection).  It was very good!  My meat as just a bit closer to medium well than the medium that I ordered.  Louise checked back twice and without me saying a word suggested that she take it back and get me one that was more correctly prepared!  The new steak was back in moments, and was even better than the first piece!  The lobster tail was wonderful, and HUGE.  Kristen also had the Tenderloin but is not a seafood lover so passed on the tail.  We also shared a flatbread pizza, but only ate one piece each.  There is just TOO much food!  The desserts were wonderful and we of course had a soufflé.  WONDERFUL.   OK - stuffed and happy we headed out.   Tonight was our Romantic Turndown service (from the Romantic Escape at Sea package) , and the room looked wonderful with rose pedals all around and on the bed, champagne chilled in an ice bucket, and towel swan's on the bed.  Very nice.   

Our Romantic Swan CrittersOff to pick up the girls from the club.  Forgot to mention that this time they BOTH beeped us!  Madision right at the beginning of dinner and Brinn just before we went to get them!  At Palo, Louise had Kristen call the club, and Maddy had just mentioned that her tummy was upset.  Maddy uses this excuse a LOT, so they said that they would beep us again if she had another problem.  Brinn just beeped us after making Flubber which was just before we went to get them anyway, so no problem!  :-) 

Time for bed and tomorrow its Castaway Cay and our last full day!
