Today we woke up to overcast skies and light rain showers. However, that didn't stop us from getting off the boat to explore Disney's private island, Castaway Cay. We found that bad weather means shorter lines for the island tram, a better selection of lounge chairs, and less crowded picnic areas!
As we prepared to disembark, Daddy handed out everyone's Key to the World Card, an identification card used as a room key and charge card for all on board activities.
Since many people stayed on board the ship, we had no trouble finding chairs with an umbrella on the beach!
Since our last cruise, Disney has added a new water play area called Spring-a-Leak that is similar to the Nemo's Reef play area on board the boat. The water spouts kept the boys entertained for hours!
While Ryan and Daddy waited in line for the Pelican Plunge, Mommy and Gavin played in the water. Gavin loved the crystal clear water where he could see schools of tiny fish swimming by.
After lunch, we were able to meet Pluto, the boys' favorite Disney character. Gavin was a little unsure what to make of him, but Ryan offered him high fives and hugs!
As the weather worsened, we decided to return to our room so the boys could nap and we could start getting ready for dinner.
Tonight was Pirates in the Caribbean night, which consisted of a pirate-themed dinner and a buccaneer bash deck party featuring a duel between Captain Hook and Pirate Mickey and concluding with the only fireworks spectacular at sea. Mike, in particular, really got into the spirit of pirate night. He attracted a lot of attention with his shoulder parrot and nose ring!
