yes the paicture there shows a line and thats the belly button.
I thought both the Magic and Wonder were, but I guess it was just the Magic.

We headed back inside to finish up the tour.





And what do you know? Another character sighting!





He was happy that we were all gushing over him.



We finished up with Andy, and he told us something about this pole, but I can’t remember once again what the importance of them are.



And if you look directly up, guess what you see?



A hidden Mickey!

The tour pretty much ended and a few people stuck around and asked a few questions and some of us took some more pictures as well.



















And we all headed back towards our rooms.
Some of the girls stopped to talk to the DVC guys. The shorter one in the blue shirt pointing, we had met him earlier and he was from Toledo, OH. I live 30 minutes from there and when we talked to him we found he was really from Maumee, which is where my sister lives. Small world.





You could tell we were getting closer to Texas. The Oil Rigs were all over once again.







Once back in the room I got ready for the show of the night, Remember the Magic.

Lisa and I headed off to the show and met up with the other girls. We found a seat together and really enjoyed this show.
We all had tears, even Lisa. She told me that she is now a convert! She really enjoyed sailing with Disney.
I also want to say that Lisa thanked me over and over for inviting her on the cruise. Now she paid her own way, but she said she never would’ve done this if I hadn’t asked. I was really happy that she had enjoyed herself. It made me really glad I had invited her as well.

That's great to hear how much Lisa enjoyed the cruise!

[lauriep]

I'm so glad Lisa enjoyed the cruise so much. It's a big responsibility when you convince someone else to do the vacation you want to do!

After the show, we headed back to the room for a short while before dinner.

Our favorite stateroom host, Rodrigo had come through for us! He left us some extra lotions.



The sky was beautiful, so I attempted to take a few pictures.



That speck of light out there is the Carnival Triumph.





Before we knew it, it was time to head to our last dinner of the cruise. Boo hoo!



Lumiere’s was our spot tonight.

We settled in and chit chatted and took a look at the “Till We Meet Again” menu.



Out came the rolls.



I think Chris said something about keeping the ice tea coming and they brought her out several! LOL



Lisa mentioned that we didn’t have many pictures of the 2 of us together, so Brook took one for us.



As for our appetizers, I have lovely pictures, but no clue what they are. I have looked at menus and not one seems to have a description that fits either one of them. So here they are.





If anyone knows what either of these is, I would love to know. LOL

I believe for the soup I had the Crawfish and Lobster Bisque served with roasted corn-chili relish.



And Lisa had the Potato Leek Soup garnished with sour cream, chives and caviar.



For our main courses, again I am not seeing a good match on the online menus. I have no clue what this is, but it looks like an alligator head on veggies. LOL! This was Lisa’s. I am guessing some kind of fish or chicken.



This was mine, which I think was some sort of beef tenderloin.



Dinner was good once again, even if I can’t remember what I actually ate.

I did however take a picture of the inside of the dessert menu.



And then the servers paraded around with the Baked Alaska.













High Fives for all!



Then Luis and Raphael posed for us. Luis was always being so funny.





This was the look we got often from Luis. He had the funniest eye expressions.



Brook asked if they would take a picture with Crush. She had been taking pictures through the trip with him for her son Henry.
They decided to hold Crush for ransom.



They totally were cracking themselves up.



Dessert then came out after all the goofing around. I think both Lisa and I got the Till We Meet Again Sweet Temptations - A trio of Celebration Cake, Chocolate Decadence, and Cappuccino Mousse.



I kind of wished I had gotten the Baked Alaskan as well, but I didn’t because I was too full …and too fat. We all were joking how our clothes were fitting pretty tight this evening. I was smart and saved my roomiest dress for this evening!
Julie, who is a tiny little thing said she had very little that she could fit into and wasn’t sure what she would wear home. LOL! She said her cruise consisted mostly of lying around or drinking or eating. Sounds like a fun vacation to me!

After dinner was over, I think we roamed around a bit then came back to the Atrium for the till we meet again fairwell party. This party was CROWDED!



They were playing a few Disney tunes to get us in the mood.





Soon Peter came out and the characters came not far behind.



I took a TON of pictures and about 70% of them are completely blurry. I don’t know what the deal was, but I couldn’t take a good picture to save my life. And with it being so crowded, it was hard to get them as well.
The other 30% weren’t all that great either.





After the characters come out, they have a little bit of time set aside for some last meet and greets. I went around and tried to get pictures of some of the characters.





This girl was Lisa’s favorite. She noticed her at the 2nd show. Her arms are so muscular. Probably too muscular, but I should could take lessons from her.

I was happy too. And she would tell me if she didn't like too. She even said she was glad that Disney was her first cruise, which was a nice thing since she isn't a huge Disney fan!

Fantastic update. I can see why you were having problems with the pictures. Sooo many people and so much moving around. Enjoyed sailing with your TR.

[chezp]

What a great last night. Now I think about it, we haven't done the Til We Meet Again menu since 2007 on the Med cruise. Since then, on the Dream, we were at Palo on our last night, same with the Alaskan cruise and on the Fantasy, our last night was Remy. Must keep that in mind for 2014 - I don't want to miss out on that menu again...

[lauriep]

I love the little "Til we meet again" show in the Atrium. Always so sad on the last night, though.

[pamcarey]

Awwww... it's so sad that it's your last night .

It was really crowded and not the greatest lighting for pictures. But it was fun and I am glad I checked it out.

I enjoyed the menu. I heard it change sometime in the past year or so which is why I couldn't find current menus online. I was surprised all ears hadn't updated it though.

It was a nice show. I was glad we did catch it.

I am sad it was our last night too.

I continued to walk around and try to get pictures of the characters at the Till We Meet Again party. Lisa gave up shortly after the show started and found a seat.















I watched Cinderella for a while.





She basically had no line so I went up for a picture.



It was just crazy in the Atrium though. Lots of people packed in a small area.



I spotted Jazzy up a level with her friend.



Soon the meet and greet portion was over and the characters returned to the stairs for a little bit more of a show.













It really was hard to get a decent picture with the poor lighting and so many people around.









I don’t know why Cinderella and Belle have such funny looks on their faces. I guess they were sad the cruise was ending too.









Goofy was so funny! As he walked up the stairs he totally fell and of course everyone had a good laugh.





Slowly each character started to say goodbye and head up the stairs.










Bye Mickey!!!!!



Lots of confetti fell and I picked up a few pieces for Claire. And looked around and had a really good laugh. Not only were the kids crawling around on the floor getting confetti, but adults were! Women in dresses were all over the place fighting over confetti. Seriously, do you need confetti that badly? And they weren’t standing up till every scrap was picked up. I guess that makes cleanup for the cast members easier.

I find Lisa sitting on a couch and talking to a guy. His wife was one of the confetti picker uppers. LOL! But she wasn’t as bad as some. She collected just enough to give the kids some and was happy with it. I started talking to him and then his wife and small world …..she was on our cruise facebook group.

We chatted a little bit and then headed up to the top of the ship once again. We decided we would have one last drink together for fun.

It was very quiet up there tonight.



I got a strawberry daiquiri.



I have no clue what Lisa ended up getting.

We just sat around and sipped our drinks and talked for a bit.



We had had such a fun vacation. Lisa was so glad to have come, and I was so glad she came with me. She also said having the other girls along made it even more fun. They all seemed to get a long great, just like we were all friends for years.

After our drinks, we headed back to the room for our last night of sleep. Lisa said she has sleeping issues at home and the ship was wonderful. She wasn’t sure if it was the rocking motion or the daily dose of bonine, but something was making her sleep like a rock!

[pamcarey]

What a funny vision of all those women in dresses crawling on the floor picking up confetti!

[chezp]

What great photos of all the characters. You know, in all the cruises we've never done this - we must make sure we do next time. Usually we're either at Palo or Remy or panic packing!
