On our way to Night 1

We had a walk around the ship to refamiliarise ourselves with Triton class layout (it's so different to the older Magic and Dream class ships, and 4 days on the Wish was not really enough time for it to be second nature yet).

Always time for a drink, so stopped off at Skipper Society bar to try the libations, and Heath duly obliged me by having the drink with a souvenir ceramic cup. We both won, he got a cocktail, I got a cup for the collection.

We tried to go in the highlight of the ship, Haunted Mansion Parlor, but there was no seats in the bar, so had a quick look, got excited and swore to come back when we could. Haunted Mansion is my favourite ride and a big collecting obsession, so obviously that's essential to frequent as much as is reasonable for Heath to have a souvenir mug cocktail. 🤩

We headed to the room to have a rest and get ready for dinner. On the way we bumped into Nicole, a friend who we would be sitting with at dinner later.

Nicole and Shelley we had met on a cruise in 2011, and been dinner table mates. When we went on the Disney Magic in September, we coincidentally bumped into them at the mandatory safety drill, and theb over and over through the cruise. Everywhere we had turned they were there too - cruise twins! Anyway, when chatting to them we figured out that coincidentally we were also booked on the same cruise in January, so decided to link bookings to sit together for dinner. What is even weirder is that we have coincidentally bumped into them on a cruise back in 2013, when we (intentionally) cruising with other friends that we'd met on our first Disney cruise.

Dinner was in the Coco restaurant, so Mexican themed food and a show with music and characters from the movie, as well as other live Mexican music. The food was excellent, as ever. We both ordered the Mexican chocolate tart for dessert and out server kept telling us it had chilli in. Which we said was fine, and it was fine - although much more chilli than I even expected. 🌶 🌶 🌶
Still excellent though.

After dinner finished around 10pm, we totally showed our age by going back to the room to go to bed.
Our first towel animal was a lovely bear made out of the bedthrow and some towels.

Disney Cruise ships have the best mattresses, so damn comfy.Læs mere
