Castaways

We had never been on a cruise before.



I am glad this was our first, however, I think it has tainted any cruise we could possibly take in the future.



I remember a good friend of mine talking about her many cruises, "the good thing about cruising is that you only unpack once, and you go to many places." She was sooooooooooo right.



We did a combination land and sea cruise that was so much fun. 7 days at Disney World and 3 days aboard the Disney Wonder.

The ship was incredible, and had so much to do. While my son was in the Oceaneer's Club, my husband was in the theater watching a first run Disney Movie, which at the time was The Haunted Mansion!

Every night was a different restaurant, every turn was a different character. Even Captain Hook showed up to show the kids how to talk like a pirate!

The highlight of every Disney cruise is a stop at Castaway Cay (pronounced key), Disney's private island. The island was known throughout the Caribbean as Gordo Cay, a place where drug-runners would operate. After zillions of dollars, beaches were made, buildings were fabricated and Mickey fans now come by the thousands.

They even have a real post office, which used Bahamian stamps.

My favorite part of the cruise was enjoying a Mickey shaped ice cream bar each night for dessert.

My men, on the other hand, enjoyed the pools and the idea of being 'lost at sea.'

Can't wait to go back...........
