Another great day...

We got up around 8am this morning. We had breakfast and then got ready to go to Castaway Cay, which is Disney's private island. We leave the ship around 10am, as we had an excursion at 11am. we stopped and had our picture taken with Donald, Minnie, Mickey, and Goofy. We then headed to the fin shop to check in for Snorkel with the stingrays. It was pretty cool. We got to feed them, which is a weird experience and then got to snorkel with them for about 45 minutes. we then headed to the lagoon to do some more snorkel. We were hoping to see more fish, but our experience has not been good at other private islands. Well this time, we hit the jackpot. we saw about 15 different kinds of fish and saw them in hugh schools. It was an awesome experience.  We spend 2 hours in the water watching and taking pictures of fish. Our hand looked like prunes, so we decided it was time to go ashore. Well the only problem was the shore was about a 1/2 mile away and against the waves. We finally made it and were tired and hungry. We made it to the buffet with 5 minutes to spare. We had lunch and walked back to pick up our stuff. Disney is the only place I know of , where you can leave your stuff laying out and no one with bother it. Pretty cool. We did a little shopping on the island and came back to the boat. Beth's back was hurting, so we took showers and rested a bit. we went to diner, picked up our pictures, and came back to the room. We finished packing around 10pm and are ready for bed. We have to be up at 5:30am as we have breakfast and leave the ship at 8am for Disney world. We have had a great time and look forward to coming back and taking another Disney Cruise. They now sail out of NY, so it might just be seeing them soon. So tomorrow, we start a 5 day stay and will be home on Saturday. I suggest anyone who has not taken a Disney cruise, should really look into it. It is a blast. Since we will be in the US, we will try and post some pictures to facebook of our trip.
