Today was a lovely (fully booked) day at sea. We had many activities we wanted to do today. I set an alarm to wake us up at 7:45am. I had preordered some room service from the night before. We had a small breakfast, bagel and pastry and some juice and chocolate milk.
Our first stop of the morning was a date with Anna and Elsa. I always wanted to meet them, but I would never wait the 4+ hours to meet them. Our ticket time was for 9am so just before 9 we headed to Animator's Palate. There was a small line as they had not opened the doors yet. A few minutes later the doors were open and we headed in. They had a frozen backdrop set up behind the princess and queen. On the screens around the restaurant there were backgrounds from the film and they had Frozen music playing. It was a great location for a character meet and greet. We waited about 10 minutes then it was my turn to meet them.. Jeremy doesn't do character meet and greets but he is always willing to take my picture.
After meeting Anna and Elsa, we wanted to go to the Art of Entertaining: Appetizer but that didnt start for another 30 minutes so we watched the Princess Gathering from deck 5.
Art of Entertaining was in Studio Sea, Deck 5 Midship, so we walked right in and got a seat near the front. The appetizer we were going to learn about was Mushroom Risotto. We watched one of the chefs make it, and we were given a sample to try along with a Chardonnay pairing.
So it's just past 10am and I have already started drinking. You will realize that is a theme for today!
Next stop after this was something Jeremy and I looked forward to for a good chunk of time. Palo Brunch. We headed up to Palo, and I asked Jeremy to get some pictures of the Venetian Masks.
This time at Palo, I tried to remain classy and not take any pictures. I succeeded, but now I wish I was the annoying shutterbug.
Judy was our server, and she was lovely. We both chose a mimosa for our brunch, then we got a tour of all the wonderful tables. While we were getting a tour, Jeremy recognized one of the other servers. Back on our very first Disney Cruise, we were over joyed by our Dining Room Assistant Server, Alvaro. We saw him again when we were on the Dream. Here is a picture of us together on our first cruise.
It was so nice to see him and since we have more time at Palo later in our adventure we made sure to request him for our next brunch.
For our main meals in Palo, Jeremy had the Grape pizza and I had the Rum Pancakes. I am glad I tried something different, but I should of got the Chicken Parm.
After we were insanely full we retied to our cabin for a rest before our private mixology class. The class started at 2 and was in Cadillac Lounge. When we arrived we saw all the drinks set up on the little tables. We found two seats together and made ourselves at home.
The mixology class was $15 and we got 5 drinks. I was bit disappointment that unlike our previous mixology class, all the drinks were already made and waiting for us.
From left to right the five drinks were called:
- Caramel Apple Martini - was strong but really enjoyed it
- Cucumber Rose Martini - it was ok, I am not a fan of cucumber. Jeremy liked it alot.
- The Grinch - can't remember what was in it but it was good
- Blue Island Ice Tea - way too strong, most people in our group didn't like it
- Jellyfish Shot - best drink there!
After we all tried the drinks, we were asked to go up in groups and recreate the drinks. I got to make the drink I liked the best the Jellyfish shot. Yummy! So if you were keeping track, that would be 8 drinks! I was a bit tipsy at the end of the class and took a short nap.
