Castaway Cay

Our last day of the cruise was spent on Disney's private island, Castaway Cay. The morning began early for me as I got up to run a 5K trail on the island (which was the most beautiful run I've ever done). After the run, I went back to the cabin to get ready for a long day at the beach. We stayed almost the entire day down on the island. Here are some pictures of our day in paradise.

Who did we see while on the beach? It was our favorite pirate Captain Jack Sparrow. We also saw the "Flying Dutchman" ship- which is now a permanent fixture at Castaway Cay.

After a day at the beach, we came back on the boat to get ready for dinner and the show. Owen had had a stomach ache the day before, and could not stay in the nursery. Therefore, he came with us to the show. I thought that his presence would be a total disaster. It was not- Owen actually watched the entire show and he liked it. I really underestimated his attention span. The show on the last night was called "Dreams" and it was the story of a girl's journey through her favorite Disney tales. The highlight of the show for our kids was the musical performance of "Under the Sea"- complete with puppets, bubbles, and people dancing around in turtle costumes.

Sadly, this night marked the end of our voyage on the Disney Wonder. The next morning we got up and were off of the ship by 8am. We had such a great vacation. Maybe one day we will be able to make a return trip on the Disney Wonder. After all- on the ship they don't say goodbye; they say "until we meet again".
