I am going to break up the Pre-Trip Report for September 4th into two parts; Part 1, which is the morning of the cruise and Part 2, where I'll talk about my plans for the cruise itself and my first day on board. I started to write this and it was becoming a MONSTER post since this is such a busy day, so you get two posts for the price of one. Bonus!
Today is September 4th - the day that I leave on the Disney Dream! WOO HOO! I cannot wait. I just LOVE to cruise.

| Hello, gorgeous! |
But in the morning, there is still plenty of time to see and do before heading to Port Canaveral.
I am picking up my friend Caletta from Art of Animation Resort at about 9:30AM, so I have a few hours free in the morning. I am renting a car to get to the port, so I figured, why not go somewhere in the AM and catch a yummy breakfast before heading to Port Canaveral?
And because I like to cram as much Disney into a day as humanely possible, how about an hour or so at a park, too?!
Last week, I asked on Facebook where you'd make a breakfast reservation on property and got a few resounding votes for Kona Cafe at the Polynesian Resort. I whole-heartedly agree with this, so I made myself a 7:30AM breakfast reservation for Kona Cafe on the 4th. Bring on the Tonga Toast!!
I am going to drive over to the Polynesian, enjoy my breakfast and then take the monorail into Magic Kingdom. There are Extra Magic Hours at Magic Kingdom that morning, starting at 8AM, so I figure I'll be able to spend an hour or so there before it's time to head out. I'll ride the monorail back to the Polynesian and then head out to Art of Animation to pick up Caletta and her daughter. Then it's onto Port Canaveral and the Disney Dream!
