(upbeat playful music)
(moves into slow soothing music)
(moves into upbeat relaxing music)
- It is 9:00 a.m. and these boys are still zonked.
I've opened the blinds, I've opened the door,
I'm being loud and they're still asleep.
We just got to Castaway Key, guys!
We are gonna go play in the water.
It looks like a nice, warm day.
We're gonna go have some fun on our very last day.
- [Jared] Good morning, boys.
- [Ellie] Good morning.
We're here, we're gonna go play.
Good morning, Cal.
We're at a really fun island,
and we're gonna play in the water and in the sand.
And you can even go snorkeling and see fishes in the water.
What did you say?
- My pinkle's wrinkling.
- [Jared And Ellie] Your pinkle?
(laughing)
- [Jared] It's wrinkling?
- [Ellie] Your pinkle, dang it.
(moaning)
- Don't you hate it when your pinkle wrinkles?
- #PinkleWrinkle
- [Jared] Keep working on it.
Instead of an eh, make an E sound
- Eam.
Eam.
- [Jared] Now, say it all together.
- [Ellie] Without the A.
- Dream.
- [Ellie] Yep, that's awesome.
- [Jared] Dream.
- [Ellie] Jackson, still, is trying
to read everything he sees.
We've slathered ourselves in sunscreen
'cause no one wants to get cancerous stuff removed
like I did last year.
Oh, my gosh, I can't talk.
We all have sunscreen on.
Oh, my gosh, the lighting's bad.
Let's go.
- I'll see what I can do, okay?
- Calvin has been really wanting to push the buttons,
and every time we go on an elevator,
somebody pushes it for us, so Jared is being so cute.
He's like, "We can wait a few minutes".
And he is gonna take Calvin on an elevator ride.
And they'll be right back.
So that he can push the buttons.
All you need is to be a little bit more patient
with your kids and they'll be so happy.
This is all he wants.
Hey, Calvin, how was the ride?
Was it good?
(upbeat playful music)
We're just dancing to the music.
They are cleaning the boat right now.
They do this every time we stop.
They do touch-ups on the boat.
There are so many employees that have to work
to make this run smoothly and organized, it's crazy.
Oh!
What? Jackson!
What's that move called?
- Record.
- [Ellie] The record?
Do it one more time.
(Ellie vocalizing)
Calvin, can you see them cleaning the boat?
Whoo, it's cold!
I can feel the mist coming.
There's a beautiful rainbow.
I don't even know if you can see it
on the camera from the water.
(upbeat rhythmic music)
Change of plans happen a lot during a vacation.
I'll let you take them over.
Jackson is old enough to do the snorkeling with Jared and I.
So we were gonna take him,
but he wants to go play in the play area
with Calvin which is a win as well.
That's super fun.
So, Jared's gonna take them to play
for a few minutes at this fun zone.
Oh, my goodness gracious, Joely-oely-oely.
- Just dropping off the little kids.
- [Ellie] Are you going snorkeling right now?
No? What are you guys doing?
- No, me and Cody are gonna go out
on one of those trike things--
- [Ellie] Fun.
- Whoo!
It's a beautiful day to go snorkeling.
Are you ready for this?
- Yes, today is warm, not stormy.
I'm a little sad that Jackson didn't wanna come with us.
- I know, kind of a bummer,
but this will be a fun little date, you know?
A little underwater adventure.
- Yeah.
Communication is really hard on the cruise ship,
so we don't know what our friends are doing,
or even our sister, Bonnie, is doing.
Oh, the water is cold!
But it's fun to run into people.
Right now, our kids are in the play area
and Jackson's cousins are there, too.
This is awesome, vacation with our cousins.
Ready to go snorkeling in the freezing cold water?
I'm such a boob.
- It's not that cold.
Actually, once you're in there, it'll be really great.
- I'm sure it'll be great.
It's cold, though, to my feet.
But last time we were here, it was really hot,
but it's cause the weather was hotter.
Oh, it's cold.
- You'll jump in and you'll be good.
Should I throw you in?
Thumbs up if I should throw her in.
- I don't need that, my dad did that enough.
- Okay, I know Ellie talks about it being cold,
but sometimes I even need to work up the courage
to get out there.
(Ellie barking)
- Come on!
(Jared laughing)
- I guess that's one way to do it.
- It's freezing cold.
Snorkeling is really hard cause you have to learn
really how to breathe slowly.
You can hyperventilate super easy.
Let's swim out there and see what we can find, okay?
- [Jared] Sure.
(upbeat cheerful music)
- Who's ready to go?
- I am! - Let's go!
(laughing)
Jump in, you little babies.
This girl's tougher than you.
- [Jared] Whoo.
(upbeat cheerful music)
Oh, man, the perfect timing.
(upbeat cheerful music)
(child screaming)
(Jared laughing)
- It didn't do it.
- [Jared] It didn't do it.
You gotta be on the side.
Here we go!
(upbeat cheerful music)
- Woo-hoo-hoo!
(upbeat cheerful music)
- Woo!
(cheering)
(laughing)
(cheering)
Christian! (laughing)
I lost my sunglasses, Jared.
- [Jared] I know.
- It's okay.
Dang it.
Mister, you're excited.
You're dancing. (laughing)
'Kay, did I teach about breathing?
Let's practice once.
Put that in your mouth, breathe through it.
Breathe in, out.
Out, in.
'Kay, that's how you breathe under the water.
'Kay, should we go practice?
Let's go in the water.
Woo-hoo!
Like I said, it's a little chilly,
but once you get in, it's not bad.
So I'm gonna run in and get in, like this.
Woo!
Once you get in, it's not bad.
Woo! Good job!
Now, you can lay down and you can look under the water.
Remember to breathe. Yep, perfect!
(upbeat playful music)
How was breathing? - Good.
- [Ellie] 'Kay, now look, you were trying
to go down under the water.
If you go down too much, water gets in here.
You float up, top of the water, and look under.
(upbeat playful music)
- The seashells got here.
- [Ellie] The seashells are in there?
- Yeah.
- He's picking up seashells.
He's washing his hands.
- What is that?
(upbeat playful music)
- I wanna show Olivia.
- [Jared] You wanna show Olivia?
You wanna stay here until Olivia comes so she can see this?
It's a pretty good merman, right?
- Where's Jackson?
- [Jared] You gotta look for him.
- Hey, merman.
How'd you make that?
- [Jared] He wanted to show you that.
- [Olivia] That's cool.
- I'm gonna wreck it!
- [Jared] Ah, it's Wreck-it Ralph!
Ah!
- [Olivia] Wait, I wanna draw on the tail.
- [Jared] Oh, making it pretty, nice work.
Boom.
You're free! Now go run in the water.
- [Olivia] Let's go run in the water.
- [Jared] Get the sand off you and run in the water.
(relaxing music)
(Ellie intermittently cheering)
(relaxing island music)
- Jackson keeps seeing really cool things,
and he goes, "I want a picture of that.
"I wanna picture of that."
He wants us to take pictures of things,
and we're like, "Calvin, do you want a picture?",
and he says, "No".
So, Calvin will stand back.
And after Jackson gets his picture taken,
Calvin will go, "That was great, Jackson."
It was so cute.
But they really wanted coconuts.
I've been saying no to extra purchase stuff.
- [Jared] Come on over here, boys.
- But when they both really wanted those,
I was like, "Yeah, we can get coconuts".
And they are so happy that we have those now.
- [Jared] Jackson, look right behind you.
Oh, my goodness, it's Mickey Mouse.
Hi, Mickey.
Oh, boy. (laughing)
(camera shutter clicks)
(upbeat relaxing music)
- What is that?
- [Jared] This right here
is a sculpture of The Little Mermaid.
It says, "The Little Mermaid, 30 years."
That means 30 years ago,
The Little Mermaid came out on video.
That's as old as I am.
When I was born, this movie came out.
This is a cool, little sand sculpture.
- [Ellie] And it's an amazing movie.
- [Jared] Oh, yeah.
Look how cool that looks.
Little Mermaid, what's his name?
Shoot, I'm just having a blank.
Scuttle, Flounder, King Triton.
Oh, my gosh, my Disney trivia.
And then Ursula.
- What's the big octopus's name?
- [Jared] Ursula.
You poor, unfortunate souls. (laughing)
They must have taken a long time to make that, huh?
- [Jackson] Yeah.
- Okay, let's see, one, two...
four? I think that's it right there.
Okay, boys, look.
Do you see up on the ship, the circles, the big circles?
- [Jackson] Yeah.
- [Jared] The row above the circles, four doors in,
that's our room, 'kay?
So, what we're gonna do is
we're gonna throw the GoPro up in the air,
and then we're gonna catch it once we get up there, okay?
Do you think we can do that?
- Yeah.
- [Jared] You think we can, yeah?
Okay, ready?
One...
Two...
Three...
(grunting)
I gotcha!
We made it all the way up to the top, guys.
We're here, we made it to our room.
Is that pretty cool?
That's the fastest way to get on the ship,
don't you think?
- [Jackson] Yeah.
- [Jared] Yeah, let's take one last look
at this beautiful view before we set sail tonight.
- It's Minnie and Mickey.
- [Jared] Yeah, Minnie and Mickey, pretty cool.
- When we are on vacation, or when we're out and about--
Try to get good lighting, it's hard.
We try and stick to the same schedule that we do at home.
I have learned really fast that if we are going somewhere,
there's always 100 things to do.
And you want your kids to do them all,
and you want them to have fun,
but I've learned that I just need to take two things a day
and that's what we can do.
And if we can do more, great.
But I just plan on doing two things, like two big things,
because the kids just get too tired,
and then I don't want them cranky.
Our schedule this last little bit has been:
When the kids wake up,
we go and do something big in the morning,
whether it's swimming, whether it's meeting characters,
whether it's just walking around the cruise ship,
we just go and do something.
Then right after lunch,
we usually come back and have quiet time,
but they will take a nap which they don't do at home,
but because they're in the sun and they're so tired,
they actually sleep.
Then when they wake up,
we have dinner and we do one more thing for the day.
That might be a show,
might be playing at the kid's play area,
and then we have them go to bed at a decent time.
At home, they go to bed early, but on vacation,
they've been going to bed around eight, nine.
Last night, it was 10:30.
So that's like what we've been doing even on vacation,
is kind of what we would do at home,
and the kids have been really happy.
Right now, Calvin didn't wanna sleep by himself,
so Jackson and Calvin are sharing the bed right now.
They're taking a little nap,
and that gave me time to get ready.
Everyone, I don't think got sunburned, except mom and dad.
- I have a little on my shoulders,
but Ellie's back is like, "Oh, you look like Sebastian".
- Which makes me sad because
I've been trying the hardest to keep sunscreen on me.
Anyway, I let my hair air-dry, look at these curls.
My hair is air-drying,
and we're gonna get ready to go to dinner
when the kids wake up.
- If you boys wake up happy, I'll give you a gummy bear.
- [Ellie] They are so tired.
Look at his hair, it's amazing.
- [Jared] Here's a gummy bear for you, Calvin.
- [Ellie] Oh, my gosh, can I have one?
- [Jared] Sure.
Jackson, are you gonna wake up happy
so you can have a gummy bear?
(laughing)
Here you go.
(laughing)
- [Ellie] Sometimes I don't know
what to expect from my Calvin.
- [Jared] I know.
- [Ellie] They are both wearing matching shorts.
I talked to grandma, just now, about Tommy.
- [Jared] What did she say?
- [Ellie] She said that he's been really happy.
She says yesterday,
she could tell he was a little homesick, maybe.
So, we'll see him tomorrow.
I'm so excited.
- [Jared] And boys, guess what.
If we finish dinner at a good time,
we'll go play golf on the very, very top of the boat.
I just got him to stand up.
I was like, "If you stand up,
"I'll give you another gummy bear."
- [Ellie] Oh, my gosh, it's like a dog.
- Well, I was just trying to be fun.
- [Ellie] Kind of.
- [Jared] And then he got right back in bed
after I gave it to him.
- [Ellie] 'Kay, everyone ready for dinner?
(Calvin and Jackson mumbling)
We told Calvin he had to stop talking like this.
(Jared and Ellie mumbling)
And then they all laugh.
You like your dinner?
(laughing)
What are you eating for dinner?
- Corn dog!
- Jackson's eating a corn dog, Calvin's eating broccoli.
High five.
Oh, and like a bite of a corn dog.
Say bye.
- You got chocolate?
Is that so good?
Mm-hmm.
Jackson went to the play area
and Calvin did not want to go the play area.
So what we're doing is we are watching
the sun set out on the balcony right now
because it is just beautiful.
Our last sun set on the ship.
Pretty amazing, huh?
- [Ellie] Calvin, why did you want to stay with us?
- 'Cause I wanted to drink this right here.
- Oh, yeah.
Calvin really just wanted to hang out with us.
We only have about an hour before we are gonna do bedtime.
This is what we wanted to do, is watch the sun set.
I think it's cute that Calvin just wanted
to hang out with us.
Jackson wanted to go hang out
with all the activities and festivities.
- And I think all of the cousins are there too,
so he wants to be there,
but Calvin's just been wanting to hang out with us today.
I like that a lot.
- That's why I wanna drink this at here.
- [Ellie] Yeah.
(laughing)
- Maybe it's not us, maybe it's the drink.
I don't know, I'm just kind of going with
what I'm saying and feeling, okay?
- [Ellie] Last night, I swear I heard like a whale blow.
(Jared exhaling forcefully)
Yeah, I swear I heard that.
- Are you sure it wasn't my snoring?
- [Ellie] No, that's why I ran out here and looked.
- [Jared] Did you really?
- [Ellie] You were gone grabbing some stuff.
It was just me and the kids, they were asleep.
- [Jared] I would love to see that.
- [Ellie] It would be amazing to see something, but--
- [Jared] There it goes.
- [Ellie] There's the sun.
- [Jared] The sun set is just about to go underneath.
- [Ellie] Look at that.
- [Jared] And it's gone, just like that.
Isn't that crazy?
- [Ellie] Yeah.
We'll wake up--
- Let's get 'em to bed. (laughing)
- My dad always said,
"You always wanna leave wanting to come back."
We left my Uncle Mark's home, he had this big cabin,
and the cousins would get together and they'd play.
We'd leave, and we'd be like,
"We just wanna stay, we just wanna play."
- You don't wanna stay to the point where you want to leave,
but you wanna leave wanting more.
- So, that's-- - And we definitely are.
- So, we're gonna leave wanting to come back.
- I'm so nervous
'cause you're over the edge with the camera.
And my one thought was,
"We haven't uploaded any footage--"
- [Ellie] Jared!
(Jared laughing) So, I can't?
- No!
(Ellie teasing)
(Ellie and Jared laughing)
No, do not even joke.
- I was holding on the little string.
- Nope, no.
- That would be terrible
if we just lost our week's worth of footage.
- All of our footage would be gone.
- Does that scare you?
- Yes. (Ellie teasing)
Stop, I'm gonna pee my pants a little.
- [Ellie] 'Kay.
Calvin, if you're not listening,
you'll have to go to the play area.
(laughing)
This is our set up.
If you're not good, you have to go play!
Go get it and come back out.
- Okay.
- I just want him right by us
because there was people coming in
and setting their bunk beds up,
so I just want him by me.
'Kay, come sit down.
- Look, I got a chocolate for myself.
- [Ellie] Oh, good, I'm glad.
Isn't that best is when you can feed yourself?
- Yeah, but you can have a drink from that.
- [Ellie] Aw, thanks.
- So, spoiler alert.
We didn't take the camera with us
when we went down and hung out with a bunch of creators,
but it definitely happened, we definitely had a good time.
And here is a picture of it, so we do have proof.
It was a great night.
We met a lot of people.
And we need to do this again, this was fun.
Disney, thank you so much
for bringing us on this amazing adventure
across Disney World and across the Disney Cruise.
That's gonna be it from us.
We have an early morning tomorrow.
We've got a lot of packing to do.
So we're gonna say goodnight while we're ahead,
and we'll talk to you guys next time.
Bye.
Are you gonna flush the toilet?
(toilet flushing)
Ellie went to the potty. Bye.
- [Ellie] Oh, my gosh.
