Disney Dream Cruise: Day 3

Our last full day on the cruise we actually slept in. The late night pirate party wore us out. It was kind of OK that we slept because the weather wasn't the greatest and the director on the ship made an announcement that all activities on Castaway Cay island was canceled due to the low temperature and wind. So we decided to take our time getting ready, though we did miss out on breakfast at the restaurant. We grab some goodies at the cafe for breakfast.
Once off the ship and on Castaway Cay, we had found the weather was tolerable and so after dropping Tyler off at the Kid's Club on the island, Steve and I decided to go find a cache. It was a good thing that Tyler didn't come with us because it was about a mile walk to the cache location. There are a few bike trails throughout the island that we walked on to get the cache. The island was beautiful and it was even better exploring it with just Steve and I. We never get to spend time with just the two of us.

The cache was cleverly hidden inside a coconut shell. After signing the log and placing the cache back where it belonged, we decided to keep on the bike trail and see where it went to. It brought us to a dead end, but a great view of another beach that wasn't occupied. Steve and I hung out for a bit and then headed back on the trail.

Upon coming out to the runway on the island which is just off the trail we took, we got on the tram to take us back to the more populated part of the island. We checked on Tyler and asked if he wanted to join us for lunch, however he already ate with the other kids and he was having way too much fun to join us. So, Steve and I got some lunch which was barbecue food. While eating it started to rain, so we moved from our picnic table to a pavilion. Even though it was poring rain outside, we still really enjoyed the food and music. 

The rain started to really come down hard, so we picked up Tyler and waited for the tram to come take us back to the ship. By the time we got back on board, we were soaked. We went back to our room and got changed. Tyler wanted to go back to the kid's club so badly, so we dropped him off there again. Meanwhile Steve and I got some goodies at the cafe and enjoyed some cappuccino while watching the farewell show with the characters in the main lobby.

There was still lots of time before dinner, we decided to take the last show at the theatre. We missed the previous nights' show, so we really wanted to see this one. The show was fabulous! It was all about believing. There were a lot of characters featured including Peter Pan, the Lion King, Mary Poppins, the princesses, etc.

After the show, it was dinnertime. We headed straight for the Kid's Club and picked up Tyler. Our waiters, Louis and Louis, were very excited to see us. They even made a special hat for Tyler out of a napkin and gave him some soy beans. They knew he loved his vegetables, especially green beans.

As always, the desserts were super delish. I especially loved the one I picked out that night. It was a sampler of three different types of desserts.

By the time we finished our meals and headed back to our room, we were sooo tired. Waiting for us was a special surprise for Tyler. Aunt Janell told us that if we left a white pillow case at Guest Services when we boarded that all the characters would sign it for us. She was right. They did! It is so cool! A terrific souvenir from our trip.
The next day we basically woke up, had breakfast and left the ship. Did we have a good time on our cruise? You know we did!!! :) It was a great first experience being on a cruise. Mickey and his friends definitely showed us a good time on his ship.
