Disney Cruise - Iceland and Norway- Gothenburg, Sweden

And alas the last port city of our trip - Gothenburg, Sweden - we had all been to Sweden before during our Baltic Cruise and loved Stockholm so were excited for this day. I wasn't really sure what to do in Gothenburg and we saw that the Volvo Museum was there so decided to spend the day there. We loved BMW World in Munich and thought this would be fun too.

Back to the day - I started the day with another run as we approached Gothenburg and enjoyed this again. When we docked I looked outside and we were not in town but were right in front of the Volvo museum SO the girls and I ended up not actually seeing the city.

We had Cabanas in the room for breakfast and then went on the character carousel and Edge Open House. This is when we had a little melt down on C's part with a second visit to Max but all was OK - just a reminder that traveling with little ones isn't always easy!

J took the shuttle into town and got his run in before our excursion. He really enjoyed seeing the town itself.

We found C's dress at Guest Services (That I mentioned a few days back) and then went to play Who Am I - we were one of about four families playing and S rocked it so she won a coveted Mickey Medal that is proudly hanging in her room now.


We grabbed lunch at the buffet before it was finally time for our fun excursion. The Volvo museum was quite interesting - we did a tour before it was snack time for some yummy cinnamon rolls. S and C skipped the rolls to play in the kids area before S went with J for some additional museum activities. C insisted that she stay in the kids area so missed that part and then asked for some ice cream treats which I of course bought for her.


once everyone was done playing and looking around, we headed back to the ship for more character visits and some time at the Kids Club. We received an invitation to a very special event this evening so that increased the excitement level.

While the girls were gone, we finished packing up and then had our final dinner at Animator's Palate. The girls went back to the kids club before coming back to the room for baths before the special event. We decided to keep our luggage due to what Disney considered an early flight the next morning but still wanted to be super organized.

And then we went to our super special event - it's a private character gathering that the girls simply loved - we were one of about 5 families there and characters just kept coming out. C loved playing with Smee and S loved dancing with Minnie the most. I believe we got invited because S and C loved the characters and kept looking for them and meeting with them. I believe her character count caught the attention of the Disney employees too.

What a wonderful last activity before bed time!
