Mickey woke us up with a phone call at 7:15 so that we could put on our swimsuits and get breakfast before getting off the ship on Castaway Cay. The ship was cleared and we were off the ship by 8:30. We began our Treasure Hunt and then found our beach chairs on the Family Beach and picked up our snorkel equipment and floats/tubes. Regan, Kelsie and I went snorkeling. The fish were coming very close to us and it kind of freaked Kelsie out a little and she wanted t...

We were at sea today and we had agreed to let the girls sleep in again. I woke up at 7 and went out to read. I finished my book and while I was reading Nikki came out. Scott and Cheryl had filmed the Panama Canal Crossing and Scott made us a DVD of it so we watched it. It was really cool to see it all in time lapse...a whole 10 hours compressed into about 18 minutes. At 9:00 we had a DVC member group photo in the Atrium so Nikki and I went down for that. I had de...

We got a call from Mickey at 6:30 this morning. We needed to get ready and grab breakfast before our 8:15 shore excursion. We got breakfast at Topsiders and tried to find a table but there were none inside. We went out on deck to eat only to discover...rain. Luckily we found a table by the Mickey Pool that was covered. After breakfast, we ran to the room to pick up our bag and then go down to Diversions, our assigned meeting place. We arrived at Diversions and th...

We were at sea today but not able to sleep in too late as we had our character breakfast at 8:30. We met in Parrot Cay and saw Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Pluto, Chip and Dale. After breakfast, Nikki and I went to another Art of Entertaining presentation with the Executive Chef of Disney Cruise Line and Michael Jordan from Napa Rose. They made appetizers. While we were at the show, Regan napped and Kelsie went to Ocean Quest. Right after the cooking demo Nikki and I w...
