We arrived at Disney’s private island Castaway Cay. Taylor and I had tickets to do the stingray experience at 11am. So we had a leisurely morning on the ship, loaded up our backpack and walked over to Stingray Cove. We arrived a little early so we hung out on the beach and waited. Our tablemates “cameron’s dad” were also doing this excursion. We joined with them, got our pre lecture done, donned our required lifevests and walked into the ocean. The stingrays and fish are just swimming all around you…very strange.
Taylor was a little apprehensive at first ( I was A LOT) but eventually she thought this was very cool. We were able to touch them and feed them and then swim around and watch them. It was very neat, although I couldn’t get over the fact that they swim right up to you!
After that we headed back towards the family beach. On our way we saw hair braiding and Taylor decided that she wanted to get that done. About ¼ of the way in, she started crying.
So I asked her if she wanted to continue and she said yes. What a trooper, she has now experienced the pain of beauty. After they were done, Taylor was done too. She wanted nothing more to do with Castaway Cay. So we had some lunch and headed back to the ship. It was nice being on the ship with everyone off at Castaway. We swam in the pool and then Tay decided she wanted a nap. So off we went to our room and she turned on the TV and I fell asleep! A lazy day for sure!
Eventually we made our way to the Hypnotist Show. Ricky Kelmon was the Hypnotist and he was great. He had a good group on stage and they were so funny. Taylor enjoyed it a lot. Then it was off to dinner. The kids are having a blast at dinner. We were in Animators Palate which changes scenery during the meal. It was very cute.
The kids went off to kids club and the adults had “shots around the ship”. Unfortunately there was a Cabaret Act in the main bar, so we had to hang in the Piano Bar for a while. It was definitely uncomfortable in the Piano Bar since our group was so large and they did not know what to do with us. We were impatiently waiting for the Cabaret act to finish so we could go to Rockin’ Bar D to get our dance on, but alas…he did not finish until 11:45pm. Basically, my carriage was turning back into a pumpkin as kids club was closing. I did not get to stay and hang with the group. I heard they had a great time and somewhere there are pictures posted…glad I wasn’t in them! ;)Monday is a Sea day….what does that hold?? Stay tuned…….
