The next morning we had a sea day so we decided to stay on the ship. Exploring the rest of the ship was one of the things we did today. We had a late morning character breakfast in Animators Palate which is one of the main dining venues for dinner. They have quite a few video screens and various colors of lighting that can really change the venue’s appearance. The breakfast had a Disney Junior theme to it with appearances by Vamperina, Fancy Nancy, Doc McStuffins and Mickey Mouse. They made rounds to each of the tables stopping for autographs and picture opportunities. The food was mostly kid friendly but there were some things for adults or kids at heart. We made it out to the pools since the kids wanted to go on the aquaduck water slide. It’s a two person innertube slide that is mostly a clear tube with two spots in which you are propelled up an incline by rushing water and rollers. It was still not that warm outside due to the cool Florida weather and a steady strong breeze which caused them to restrict any single riders from using the slide. The kids briefly went in the pools too. They have a toddler friendly Mickey Mouse shaped pool which was fairly shallow and a deeper Donald Duck regular shaped pool. Later, we found ourselves back in the same restaurant for a character meet and greet that required reservations. We got to meet Anna and Elsa from the Frozen movie. We ended up here a third time today for our first dinner in Animators Palate and it was a Nemo themed with Crush going around to the different monitors to interact with the guests. We weren’t seated close to any of them so we didn’t get any interaction but you could see and hear others experience. Nearly all tables were clearly intended to be oriented towards one of the monitors. I’ll include some menu photos. By the way, Mickey premium Ice Cream Bars were on the kids menu for dessert but were a We skipped the evening entertainment which was apparently a regular on the Fantasy. I don’t recall his name but it was part comedy but mostly singing. I’d seen a preview during the first night’s show and it was enjoyable but we had planned a full day at a resort in Cozumel the next day and wanted to get the kids to bed a little earlier.
