Here is where I sat when I originally uploaded these photos to our Facebook page! The ship's wifi, while expensive, was by far the best service I've had on any cruise ship. For one...it worked! lol

Checking out the shopping district...I'm SURE we'll be back here!

I kinda feel its a bit cheating having the "inaugural sailings" span two years, but I'm sure a lot of people buy the merch and feel special.

Good morning everyone! We are currently in the Enchanted Garden restaurant. Beautiful!

Breakfast on the Disney Fantasy starts with a plate of Mickey Waffles! Yum! (Ok, so maybe these are brown sugar coated, syrup covered Mickey waffles that would kill most diabetics just looking at them...)

Those booths in the Enchanted Garden actually spin! Totally "Elissa Friendly!" (NOTE - We never actually saw anyone spinning them, so I wonder if they actually still do this?)

Well, that didn't take long for Elissa to find her dudes! I guess we know where she'll be the rest of the cruise!

Today we played "Mid-Ship Detective Agency" which is Disney Fantasy's answer to the "Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom" game you can play at Walt Disney World.

There are three different "cases" to play, one based on Disney characters and Villains, one based on 101 Dalmatians, and one based on the Muppets. We chose the Muppets themed case to play.

Here's our case booklet...

This tells us where we can find the game stations around the ship. Remember those "enchanted art" paintings you saw the video of (you did watch the video, right?) They also double as stations for the Midship Detective game, and via RFID, it can sense that you're holding a game card.

Here is the front of the Detective Agency card.

And the back of the card. I'm not exactly sure how this system works...but it's damn impressive!

Hold the card up to these "paintings..."

And they come to life with clues or mini-games you need to play. The card acts kind of like a "Wii Remote" in that you use the card to control objects on the screen. You have to turn some pieces, push things in, throw things, etc. I believe this is more advanced than Magic Kingdom's Sorcerers game as I don't think it has this level of interaction.

Head?

The image quality on these displays is really impressive! Some of the cleanest looking retina screens I've ever seen.

Pépe has his own stateroom door on the ship which you have to go find, and it also contains clues!

And yes, if you dial this number from your Stateroom phone or does connect you with Pépe!

We solved the case! The Muppets thank us for finding their props so the show can go on!
