Tuesday 9th January ‘07

I woke up around 7.30am and wandered onto our verandah to find that we had already docked at Castaway Cay.

We all got up and had breakfast at the BBB and around 9.30am we disembarked onto Castaway Cay.

As we wandered to the family beach, we took loads of photos and it was great to see the Flying Dutchman anchored in front of the Disney Wonder.

The beach was quite empty, so we took our usual ‘falling out the hammock’ video and we found some loungers. At one point Becky was roughly swinging her poor dad in the hammock when there was a huge 'crack' and the hammock broke, so being the good responsible people we are, we quickley grabbed our stuff and legged it to another hammock :rolleyes1

It was a lovely morning, just chilling on the beach, reading a book and listening to the DJ in the background. Around 12ish we went for lunch at Cookies BBQ. I thought the food was really nice on the Island, especially the burgers and potato salad (mmmm).

It started to get rather cloudy, and the girls were getting bored, so we walked back to the ship, but first we took more photos and hit the shop for T-Shirts and souvenirs.

Once back onboard, the girls vanished to the Promenade Lounge to use the internet, so Paul & I went ashore again to pick up a T-Shirt that he’d seen earlier. Once back onboard we got ready for dinner and PIRATE NIGHT !! pirate:

First we had photos with Pirate Stitch and then we went to dinner.

We were once again in Triton’s tonight, and it was the Pirate Menu too. The menu is so cool, it is rolled up like a treasure map and it made a great souvenir. All the servers were dressed like pirates too and the evening had a great atmosphere. As always, the food was delicious as were the cocktails and Asti.

Now it’s Paul’s birthday on Friday, and as a surprise I had booked us all into the Contemporary Resort for the night, a tower room with a Magic Kingdom view, I don’t know how I managed to keep this to myself for a few months, but tonight I revealed the surprise to him and the girls while we were at dinner. It was nice to see the shock on their faces.

After dinner we saw Pirate Goofy, then had a walk around the shops onboard and then we went to see the Golden Mickey’s show, which was really good.

After that, we headed up to deck 10 for the Pirate’s in the Caribbean Party, it was quite chilly so we sent Paul back to the room to get our jackets. The Party was lots of fun, and the Disney characters were dressed like Pirates ~ but I must admit that I really miss the Tropical Deck Party that used to be on a few years ago.

After the Party, the girls went off to a Glow Jam party with the Teen Club and Paul & I hit the wonderful Dessert Buffet. We were not hungry at all, but there was no way that I was going to turn down more desserts from the huge selection.

We were really tired tonight, so sadly we missed going to Studio Sea and Wavebands, and by the sounds of it, everyone had a great night and I was sad to miss everyone singing in the karaoke – especially Kelly. I think we were in bed for around 11.30pm and the girls rolled in around 1.30am (can’t be bad !!)

Tomorrow ~ Brunch in Palo & a Day at Sea

Another great day
 
Loving your photos and report :thumbsup2

waiting hard on hearing more
 
I am really enjoying your reports and taking everthing in. I am surprised how early the ship docks at islands. From your dinner photo I see you have a table for four to yourself. Do you think we will get a table of three to ourselves?

I honestly don't know Sue, we've never requested a table to ourselves, but on all 4 of our cruises we have had a table to ourselves. If it's important to you, then I would send DCL an email, I guess it wouldn't hurt

Glad you're enjoying the trippies

Everyone - thanks for reading my trip reports :thumbsup2

Mandy :)
 
Great day Mandy - what a suprise for everyone staying at the contemporary!thumbsup2
 
It all sounds lovely Mandy...

LOL's about the Hammock!

Do you get given the bandana's at dinner or did you have to buy them?
 
A great day, Mandy. What a lovely suprise for your hubby, and well done for keeping it a secret for so long.
