We are going in April....

how is the water at Castaway Cay? Is it too cold to swim?

Does the shop on board have the gold by the inch sale and the precious stones sale like the three night cruise?

Who has used Shirley for gift baskets? Is it possible to send her items that I want included in the kids baskets? Is it a reasonable fee?

Does the teen group make exceptions and let a 18 year old in? My 18 loved the teen group last year and her brothers will all be there and she will have to hang with mom and dad if not....???

Do the bars serve bottles or cans of beer? My DH only likes bottles....go figure!! To me, beer is beer!!

For my kids, can you buy a pin trading hat or binder on board? OR even where I can get one anywhere would be great....can not find one here in the disney store and no where locally.....

Thanks so much for all of your tips...
Have a disney day!!
 
Ok, I can answer only one question, about Shirley. Yes, in the past she would let you send things. She is just wonderful and will almost anything to make your basket wonderful! Can't say enough about her.

We went in January '04 and the water was a little cold at Castaway Cay, but didn't bother the kids...the weather got warm fast, and the cool water felt good.

Have a great time!

Not sure, but would think it would be perfect in April
Does the shop on board have the gold by the inch sale and the precious stones sale like the three night cruise?Yes, at least they did in September. They had different specials each night.

Who has used Shirley for gift baskets? Is it possible to send her items that I want included in the kids baskets? Is it a reasonable fee?Not sure, we did not do baskets this cruise.

Does the teen group make exceptions and let a 18 year old in? My 18 loved the teen group last year and her brothers will all be there and she will have to hang with mom and dad if not....???Don't know, but it does not hurt to ask.

Do the bars serve bottles or cans of beer? My DH only likes bottles....go figure!! To me, beer is beer!!I think most are served in bottles and on tap.

For my kids, can you buy a pin trading hat or binder on board? OR even where I can get one anywhere would be great....can not find one here in the disney store and no where locally.....I know that they sell the lanyards, but not sure about the hats or binders. You could also check Ebay.

For your Pin Binders.......most certainly check ebay...we bought 4 of them at 1/2 the price they sell them on board the Magic....and yes...everytime I have been on the Magic they did have the binders and lots of pins. When you go to Castaway Cay make sure to get the special pins they sell only there...they are so cool!

Does anyone know how old you have to be to rent scooters in Grand Caymen or Key West? :moped: :moped: :moped:
 
We went the last week of April in '04 and the water was a little cool, but we got used to it quickly. Definitely not bath temperature like it was in Grand Cayman, but not uncomfortable. The air temperature was very nice. Bring lots of sunscreen and reapply often.
