Disney Magic 5-night Spring Break Cruise - Day 7 - Disembarkation

Disembarkation Day

Disembarkation Day dawned painfully early, like it always does. My plan was to let Emmaline sleep as long as possible, but alas, as soon as the ship was cleared, those annoying and loud announcement woke her up. We got up and went for breakfast in Lumiere's. We said our goodbyes to our table mates and serving team and told the latter that we would see them next year. 

Once we were done with breakfast, we picked up our photo CD, hit the bathrooms and then left the ship. Luggage pickup and customs was a breeze and we went outside to find the rental car shuttle. We asked a few people and found the right spot and waited for the shuttle. We all loaded up and waited for a few more people to get on and were driven back to the Avis in downtown Miami to grab our minivan. Thankfully this was completely uneventful. 

We made the short drive from there, back past the port (bye Disney Magic, *sniff*) to Jungle Island. Jungle Island was very pricey (like, I almost fell over when she told me the admission price for our family of three) for what it was, which was a mixed bag. The birds and smaller animals were great, but the primates and big cats were in VERY small cages and it was pretty sad. They used to be called Parrot Island and had primarily birds and small creatures. They should have stuck with that model. I can't say I recommend it. The birds were amazing, but we left feeling sad about the other animals there. 

We made our way to a little lunch spot called La Sandwicherie and had some really good sandwiches which were a little pricey, but big enough that we could take the leftovers with us on the plane and eat for dinner. So I think for two meals, the price was pretty good and they were unique and tasty. 

After lunch, we drove back to Fort Lauderdale, turned in our rental car and boarded a plane for home. Until next time!
