Disney Cruise Vacation Day 4: Castaway Cay

Today was the day I was most looking forward to.  I had heard so many great things about Castaway Cay and it definitely lived up to my expectations!  Once again we started our morning off by eating breakfast on our balcony before getting off the boat in Castaway Cay.  We made sure to stop at some of the many photo ops as we got off the boat.  Shawn and Emily had a 10:00 reservation to go parasailing while the rest of us walked to the beach to find chairs for the day.  Along our walk we came across a ton more characters, so of course we had to stop! 

These were the 2 troublemakers of the group!

We spent all day on the beach and swimming in the ocean.  They had a really yummy BBQ buffet set up so we made sure to stop and get some of that for lunch too.  The ocean was a little chilly, but that definitely didn't stop the kids.  I'll admit I was pretty sad when it was time to board the ship. 

After we got on the boat, we convinced Evan to take a nap.  He was exhausted from the late nights we had been having.  Since he fell asleep we decided to skip the show this night. 

Every Disney cruise has 1 pirate night during the trip and tonight was our night.  We kicked off the night with a pirate party on the pool deck.  Not going to lie, it was freezing cold! 

This night we got the great idea to feed the kids early and then take them to the kids club while we went to dinner.  We fully enjoyed a quiet dinner.  When we picked them up from the kids club, Shawn took Evan back to the room for bed and I took Em up to the pool deck to watch the Pirate night fireworks.
