ok, I'm totally going to write about saturday at
Castaway Cay, but I figured out how to download a video to photobucket so I'm going to add that here. It's from the pirate party on Friday night. There were fireworks and Mickey on a zipline!!!
Ok, now on to Castaway Cay!
Saturday May 11th...
When we woke up we were already at Castaway Cay.
We had breakfast at the buffet again and then we disembarked the ship. It was a cloudy day, but at least the sun wasn't blazing. We headed to the tram that would take us to the adult beach. On the way we ran into this scalywag...
We got to the adult beach and I was hoping to find a hammock but they were already all taken. We found 2 chairs under an umbrella and laid down. Ahhhh.....
I went out into the water and it was such a great temperature. Not too cold. I walked way out and just stood and looked around. It was so peaceful. I took this picture from the middle of the water looking back at the beach.
I honestly could have stood there forever. I felt so calm and at peace there. It was as if I couldn't believe that I was there. I felt very lucky and fortunate to be able to be there. It was a great moment...
A little while later we went to get lunch and then took the tram back to get back on the boat. I took some pictures of the Flying Dutchman. It's amazing!
the windows are creepy!!!
we got back to the wonder and went to cove cafe (yes, again!) I had to get my fun coffee drink for the day. Michael was working and we chatted. I got my drink and he asked if Drew wanted anything. Drew doesn't drink coffee and we told him that. We said he only really drinks soda and water. So he told us to wait a minute and a few seconds later he came back with this...
He gave us a cooler bag and filled it with evian waters and some canned sodas. It was so nice. He also told us that we would have a surprise in our room later on. Plus he didn't charge me for my coffee again. What a great guy!!!!!
We laid out at the pool for a while and then went to get ready for dinner. We ate at Tritons and it was the fanciest out of the restaurants. We ate alone because the couple at our table were eating at Palo.
it was a great dinner and our server even brought us extra desserts
We went back to the room to finish to pack to get our bags outside the door of our room for them to be able to pick them up by 9pm. We had champagne waiting for us in our room with a card from the staff of Cove Cafe telling us that we were their magical couple and congratulations. It was so nice!
They were having a farewell show with all the characters in the main lobby so I went down to see that.
They sprinkled pixie dust from the ceiling and the characters sang. It made me tear up!!! We had to get up early the next morning so off to bed we went. Home the next day........
