Castaway Cay

Our last day was spent at Castaway Cay which is Disney's private island. To be honest with you, I wasn't overly excited about a beach day since we have all the beach here that we need. (I know - spoiled rotten. I'm aware.) I was however, looking forward to a very chill day that we could actually relax.

Of course, the kids were up before the break of dawn and we ate before most people were even up. We decided to explore the island a little bit before we even got dressed. Callie got to meet Chip & Dale and Goofy without waiting in line. Wyatt met a Johnny Depp pirate guy since they dumped the ship from Pirates of the Caribbean right off of the beach.

While we were scoping out the perfect chairs to creep, Callie and Wyatt started getting upset as it was dawning on them that this day was going to be nothing more than hanging out at the beach. This was girlfriend's reaction:



Oh, yes. She's for real. Divalicious!

We met Mickey Mouse on the path on our way back to the ship to get our beach stuff. He grabbed Wyatt's hand like they were old pals and they walked together for awhile. It was too cute and one of my favorite moments of the whole trip.

Basically, we ate lunch and snorkled before meltdown mania got too overwhelming and we were forced to plunk the little suckers down for a nap. We hung out on the balcony, had lunch, and drank while they snoozed. Before dinner, we dropped the kids off again at the Oceaneer's Club to learn a dance routine that they later performed onstage in one of the auditoriums with Minnie and Mickey. It was the coolest thing ever! Brent and I met them in the theater to watch the performance. We were those proud parents with the video camera and everything. So cute!

We were sad going to bed that night, knowing we were going to wake back up in Florida again. It was heartbreaking to leave and the kids didn't want to go either. Luckily, we have another one planned already for next year so it's kind of a crutch when we feel bummed about wanting to go again. No doubt, we're addicted!
