On our last Disney cruise (when Alea was in first grade) we booked another Disney cruise while on board to get a discount. We were able to push out the date of our cruise until we were ready to use it. We are going to go on our first seven day cruise this summer. It is a Western Caribbean cruise that leaves from Florida and travels to Costa Maya, Cozumel, and Grand Cayman, as well as Disney's private island, Castaway Cay. Our cruise leaves on June 8th. Our 15th wedding anniversary is June 6th so this will be our 15th anniversary present to ourselves. I have recently started planning and thinking about this trip. I want to take a day or two before the cruise and spend it in Disney World. We went to Disney World on our honeymoon and our 10 year anniversary. I am thinking about flying out on the morning of the 6th, swimming and exploring the hotel in the afternoon, and having dinner on a Disney property that night. The next day I want to get a one day park ticket and spend the day at Magic Kingdom. On Saturday the 8th I want to have a character breakfast at the Polynesian resort and then head to the port for our cruise.
Today while I was researching Disney cruise info I discovered there is a 5K on Disney's Castaway Cay island. It isn't an extra cost and I am thinking about doing it. Davin has been very supportive of my running and racing but when I told him about this 5K he asked me why I would want to do this. It will be humid in the Caribbean in June. I can only sit on the beach and do nothing for a short amount of time but we will be at CC all day. Davin and Alea love to hang out in the sand all day. I have to fight off the boredom so this will be a good activity for me. Also, it is the last full day of the cruise so I will have plenty of extra 'fluff' to work off.
I thought I would share some pictures from our last Disney cruise that focus on Castaway Cay.
This is Alea at the port before we boarded the ship. She looks so little and young here!
At Castaway Cay. That is the Pirate of the Caribbean ship from the movies in the background.
My cutie with the Disney ship in the background.
Alea with the Pirates ship. The back side is open because that is the side they filmed from.
It is pretty neat to see.
Look who we ran into on the beach!
This is a great photo spot on the island.
I need to get this weight thing in gear so I can at least look this skinny... preferable skinnier. :)
