jenseib Posted March 2, 2013 Author #251 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I believe this is mine and I think it’s the Thyme and Garlic Brioche filled with chanterelle, hedgehog and black trumpet mushrooms and leek stew in a light buttermilk cream. I am not sure who ordered this, probably Pete, as he sat across from me and let me take pictures of his food. Romaine Wedge; Fresh crisp romaine topped with a creamy Romano dressing and homemade spiced croutons. And these are all from family members around me as well. The menus online don’t appear to have all the same items, so I am thinking the menu has changed slightly since the last time it was updated online. The kid’s meals came out right away. This is nice if you have late dining and the kids can leave for the kids clubs after they eat. For early dining, it just makes for a lot of extra time the kids have to wait for the parents to finish up. Claire went with her trusty chicken strips.

jenseib Posted March 2, 2013 Author #252 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Jude was adventurous tonight. Katie asked him what he wanted and he said fish. She said he never eats fish and wasn’t sure if he knew what it even was, but he was insistent that he wanted fish. I ordered 2 entrees this evening. First was the Caramelized Sea Scallops with roasted asparagus, sun-dried tomatoes, and pearl pasta, garnished with caramelized leeks and veal jus reduction. I don’t care for the pearl pasta at all, but I like the scallops. I think both Rob and I had the Grilled NY Strip Steak; Thyme roasted vegetables, double-baked potato topped with handmade herb butter. I took pictures of both. Mine being the one that is rarer.

jenseib Posted March 2, 2013 Author #253 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Dessert time!!!! Most of the kids got Mickey bars! I believe I got strawberry cheesecake. A few of the other desserts ordered tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenseib Posted March 2, 2013 Author #254 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Katie’s birthday was on Halloween and I had it noted to celebrate it on her reservation. She was totally shocked they knew. They brought out a cake for her and though she seemed happy, I think she was a bit embarrassed too, more because she didn’t know. Jude was VERY happy with his choice of the Mickey bar.

jenseib Posted March 4, 2013 Author #255 Share Posted March 4, 2013 After we all finished up with dinner, I took a few more pictures around the dining room. This is when we found that Rasheeta was extra slow. Our drinks did take quite a while to arrive with our meals, and those who had ordered specialty drinks had to wait for the bill. Many nights she just would tell us she would give it to us the next night as it wasn’t ready, and many nights the bills never showed up. Gail ended up going over hers with a fine tooth comb one night from the ship account and found several that were charged to her that she didn’t actually get. We tried to get a picture of the girls in front of the fountain. Claire of course never looks at the camera. We needed to get Abby in there.

jenseib Posted March 4, 2013 Author #256 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Abby has a different idea on how to pose! She was lifting her dress up for all the world to see that she wears undies! Gail quickly ran over and told her she can’t do that here. One more try. We gave up. 3 squirmy kids does not make for a nice picture. After dinner, we headed out to get the kids their bands for the kids club. We had to go to the Fantasy Convention room to do so. And boy the line was LONG! We finally got up there and the computers kept going down so it even took longer, but we did get them all officially signed and ready for the clubs. A quick stop off in the bathrooms and it was time to head to the show. I just love the different bathrooms on the Dream. This is one area where they are better than the Magic. Each area seems to have a different theme. Golden Mickeys was the show tonight. This one is my favorite I think of all the shows I have seen so far. As you can see, Claire’s dress was themed for this night’s show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenseib Posted March 4, 2013 Author #257 Share Posted March 4, 2013 It was Gail and I and our girls. Mom and Dad mentioned that they would be coming and we did see them walk in with Geoff, but they were on the other side and made their way to different seats. The show was great. The girls did have a few moments of being scared, but they did fine. I had tears in my eyes at the end when Abby just gasped. It was so precious. After the show, we headed out and found Donald. Mom, Dad and Geoff met up with us as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenseib Posted March 4, 2013 Author #258 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Abby was not scared one bit. She also did not want to leave. We walked around a bit and spotted Chip and Dale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenseib Posted March 4, 2013 Author #259 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Abby took a seat to watch them while we waited in line. The line was kind of long, so Geoff and Gail took Abby and headed up to see Mickey while we waited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenseib Posted March 4, 2013 Author #260 Share Posted March 4, 2013 While I waited, I took a picture of the light fixture. You can never have too many of those! Geoff took a couple of us while we were waiting. We were getting close and they were done, so we waved to them to hurry so Abby could be in with the 2 older girls. She made it just in time. Chip had walked off with the family in front of us. It was the girl’s birthday and I think he was giving her some extra attention, so for a while we only had Dale. See the pen in Abby’s hand. Well that was my pen. For some reason she wanted a blue pen. Blue is her favorite color. Gail had given her a pen with blue ink and she threw a fit. We realized that she saw our blue colored pen so I handed it off to her. We had an extra pen or two and no need to fight that battle right now.

jenseib Posted March 4, 2013 Author #261 Share Posted March 4, 2013 UH OH!!! We have a rebel passing the characters and trying to go up the stairs. Not allowed during character meets! BUSTED! Chips back, but no one seems to notice. Since He was going unnoticed, I guess he decided to eat Claire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenseib Posted March 6, 2013 Author #265 Share Posted March 6, 2013 We said Good Bye to Chip and Dale. We spotted Donald and he was giving us a little performance of his own. We separated from the rest. I think Gail wanted to get Abby to bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenseib Posted March 6, 2013 Author #266 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Claire and I went off on our own and roamed around freely. I think we checked out the stores a bit and then we HAD to get a picture of her in the Golden Mickey dress with the Golden Mickey. Another bathroom stop, and I just had to take a few more pictures.

jenseib Posted March 6, 2013 Author #267 Share Posted March 6, 2013 More exploring. I just love how colorful the deck of the Dream is. The Magic was pretty, but this is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenseib Posted March 6, 2013 Author #268 Share Posted March 6, 2013 A stop for a drink. And we headed back towards the room for a minute. I don’t remember why for sure, but I probably wanted to drop something off, change my clothes or pick something up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenseib Posted March 6, 2013 Author #269 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Claire’s bed all turned down. We did whatever it was we headed to the room to do and then went back out again. We ran into Pluto and stopped for a picture. The handler there noticed Claire’s dress and complimented it and said “You guys have sailed Disney before, haven’t you”. Yes we have! We then headed up a flight of stairs and got in line for Captain Mickey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenseib Posted March 6, 2013 Author #271 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I need to get in the habit of carrying my big flash with me on the ship. I really think my pictures would come out better if I did. We wandered a bit more, going through the art gallery. And then we went into D Lounge to see what was going on there. There was a game that was getting close to the end and we sat down to watch it a bit. I really was getting tired now. It was close to 11 and I swear I was nodding off as I sat there. I mentioned to Claire that we needed to leave, but she had seen Donald lingering out in the hall and wanted to see him come in first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenseib Posted March 6, 2013 Author #273 Share Posted March 6, 2013 He then went out on the dance floor with the kids. I tried to get Claire to go out, but she was too shy. She preferred to watch. I couldn’t last any longer, so we headed back to the room. Before I went in the room, I decided to get a picture of our door. I went the whole time on our previous Dream cruise and never once took a picture of out decorated room door. And that was pretty much it for the night. We got dressed in our PJs and turned the TV on for a few minutes and laid our head down on the 4th pillow of the trip. Oh the Places We Go! We also met some new friends! Oh the People We See!

DisneyKidsDad Posted March 6, 2013 #274 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I noticed a Nestea lever on your picture of the drink station. Is that sweetened or unsweetened tea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenseib Posted March 9, 2013 Author #275 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I noticed a Nestea lever on your picture of the drink station. Is that sweetened or unsweetened tea? I really have no clue as I don't drink tea at all. I never even notice if it's served or not, same with coffee. I just don't touch either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
