Time for breakfast...?

What an awesome show. We exit the theatre with the crowd, but the evening’s not over – we have the Pirates In The Caribbean deck part later, with a few stops to make beforehand. First, a quick stop at Shutters on Deck 4 to review our cruise pictures so far.

Visiting Shutters has never been a favorite activity of mine. Like posing for official photographers, it’s something that we more just have to do rather than want to do, so the quicker it goes, the better. Disney does make it convenient by grouping pictures by event in the display cases, so locating family pictures is never too difficult. I just hope some day that the shipboard photographers get hooked into the PhotoPass system. That would be a nice improvement.

We see several photos we may return to later, but for now we just purchase one we know we have to have – Benjamin and Stitch together!

We’re back in the Walt Disney Suite around 9:40. Bob and Linda are almost certainly going to bed soon, but breakfast comes first.

Yes, breakfast. No, not eating it. Ordering it!

In our many “what do we want to do” discussions leading up to this trip, we most focused on trying things we’d never done before. Ordering from room service on board the ship was something we’d not done, since it’s always so easy to find food handy, so we thought we’d give it a try. And when we were upgraded in advance to the Walt Disney Suite and found that we would be able to order a full meal from the onboard restaurants, that cinched it – we were going to enjoy at least one meal in our suite.

Breakfast tomorrow morning is it, and the concierge guide urges us to call the night before with our order. The six of us take turns perusing the Triton’s breakfast menu in the guide and selecting the meal we each want, and I make notes on a piece of our personalized stationery that we’re not likely to use for any other purpose. We get pretty detailed, with how we want eggs cooked, side items of toast, and assorted pastries, donuts or muffins for the six of us. It’s going to be a feast.

I’m curious what it will be like calling it in, since I am to call the regular room service line and not the concierge desk, but it turns out to be no problem at all. The CM at the other end of the line is friendly, and he patiently listens as I rattle off the orders for the six of us. He reads back the order correctly, and then asks when we’d like it delivered. We’d already settled on 8:00, and he tells us it should arrive between 8 and 8:20.

That was super easy. Okay, I definitely could get used to phoning in my meals and not having to lift a finger for them. Take that and add the endless entertainment, someone to make the bed, a beautiful, frequently changing ocean view – and no yard to mow – and this comes really close to paradise on earth.

I do realize that I have to give this Suite up in about 36 hours, but they may have to drag me away from it!
