July 2: Castaway Cay

Overnight we headed to Disney’s private island in the Bahamas. I have to admit, I was worried the little guy may get seasick, but the tide was so smooth, you barely noticed (felt slightly at dinner and in bed). Someone had a favorite vantage point.

After last night’s dinner, we headed to Deck 4, where the place was jamming. We met Mickey, a personal favorite. We also grabbed a picture with the captain’s crew.  And the show, The Golden Mickey’s was amazing. We had really good seats and characters ran up and down the aisle.  The little guy loved it

By morning, we woke to turquoise water and beautiful beaches.  The little guy was raring to go. And with the first store, the “I need” began. So we caved and bought a sand castle maker and he played for hours. The water was so refreshing. By lunch, we were hungry. The cool part about this cruise….Disney ships out food to the island.  So, we enjoyed a barbecue….and, of course, more ice cream

We headed back to the ship around 3 to rest and clean up. At 5, the ship’s horns play the Disney theme song letting everyone know to get on board. We sat on our verandah and watched the ship start for Nassau.

Dinner was at the Enchanted Garden, super cute. We got really lucky with our table mates, three sisters, a daughter and grandson, and they were originally from the Jersey Shore. The little guy enjoyed playing with Cole while we talked. And the food was, once again, exceptional.

After dinner, we headed to Deck 4 for more character pictures.  We eventually made our way into their movie theater and saw their latest flick.  By 10, someone was really tired. But we arrived to the room to a neat surprise. We has a really good cabin attendant, lol.
