We had no clue where we were going. We knew we were in an inside room so we were looking down each hallway, luckily for us our luggage was waiting outside our door for us!
Brad and Sarahs cabin was right next door, Ma and Pa were staying right behind Brad and Sarah. Gma, Aunt Lisa, KC and Jackson were on the same deck just on the other end of the boat. I never went to Danielle and Adams room, so I have no clue where they were.
As we walked in we just EXPLODED! Literally! I mean when we walked in we were greeted with a gift on our bed
We waited to open them and checked out our little cabin we would be calling home.
When you first walk in you need to place one room key into a slot by the door to turn on your lights.
We got a cabin with a split bathroom so as soon as you walked in there were 2 doors on our left. The first door was the toilet and a sink
The next door led to a very tiny shower and another sink
We got some lovely H2O products, the lotion became our best friend throughout the trip
Across from the bathrooms was a closet that held our life vests and safe.
From there it opens up into a bigger living area
Alicia and Andy took the bed, while Brittany took the couch, which turns into a sofa bed and I got the cot that came down from the ceiling.
So after looking around we got changed and ready for the night that was awaiting us. I had Alicia write all our names on our Fish Extender.
Then it was time to decorate our door!
Our lovely FE
What is a fish extender?
A Fish extender is a fish that is hanging on the wall outside your stateroom door. It is there for CMs to leave you messages throughout your stay. A group of people started a thing called the fish extender exchange, which is almost like secret Santa in a way.
On the cruise meet page for this cruise you could sign up to participate in a couple different fish extender exchanges. Once you sign up, you get a list of all the cabins participating, which includes how many people are in the room, ages, and celebrations if any. You then bring gifts for each room on the list, you can either do a room gift or a gift for each person. Then throughout your cruise you go around the ship and place them in their fish extender pockets. It was so FUN, most of the time when you went back to your room there would be a little gift awaiting in your FE pockets.
Next it was time to open up our DVC gifts. We all sat on the bed and opened them up. Each mini suitcase had a little message hopping we enjoyed our gift and more would becoming each night&.I was the odd ball out who didnt get the message.
Inside included a baseball cap, water bottle, tote bag, sand cup to keep things safe from the sand on castaway, and sunglasses. I personally use the bag and water bottle a lot.
Kiss came over to our cabin because it was time for us to go explore the ship.
We had no idea where we were going, we just wondered around till we found something. First thing we found was some portholes
After walking around for a bit we came across the oceaneers club.
Luckily for us they were having a open house, which meant we were actually allowed to play in there! The CMs welcomed us in and told us we could explore what ever we wanted.
But before we could have any fun, we had to wash our hands
I could wash my hands ALL DAY there! These should be EVERYWHERE!
Soon we were entering the world of Disney movies!

And the best way to dry off after getting soaked on Splash is DEFINITELY getting whipped around on Big Thunder.
Maybe that was only back when they did Land & Sea packages or something?
That's really cool that you were able to get on a bus set up by other DISers. For a long-ish trip out to the port, it's pretty cool to be able to share a cheaper ride with a bunch of people you already know you have something in common with.
