Disney Cruise - Day 5 Back at Castaway Cay

Another beautiful morning on CASTAWAY CAY in the Bahamas
I wish I could join these so you would see a panorama of Castaway Cay. However, my camera doesn't have that feature. It's time to use your imagination.



 A friendly seagull stopped by as we were having breakfast. He was probably hoping we would share.
 
Captain Hook was by the Post Office as we were heading to the beach.


Look at these two castaways just hanging out and enjoying the island sun!


Today we decided to go to the family beach. We went to the far end where is was relatively quiet. All the activities were to our left. There were a few families with small babies and children, so we had fun with them.

 

The water is as clear as clear can be. After we took this picture I realized we should have taken it in the morning. By afternoon the water was a little cloudy from everyone stirring up the sand on the bottom. Still gorgeous and so warm.

This is our last  dinner and dessert on The Dream. Can you imagine the sad faces? The pear is really  mashed potatoes. Pretty cute huh?
Yummy Baked Alaska for desert.
Here's the dinner gang:
Carole, Candy. Carol, Cindy, Laura
Nixen and Benedict

See Ya' Real Soon - A Disney Character Farewell
The Characters gathered in the Lobby Atrium for one last chance to take pictures and then gave us a musical farewell.



 

MIDSHIP DETECTIVE AGENCY
I think this was designed for the kids, but the technology fascinated me. Cindy surprised me today and signed me up. Since this was our last night on the ship I had work to do and miles to walk, or so it seemed as it took you all over the ship.
 
Here's the mystery: Well, I understand there are 3 different mysteries to solve. Wish I had started earlier and done them ALL. So much fun!! My case involved stolen paintings and I needed to find out who stole them. I went armed with my detective badge which did magical things. But remember I am on a Disney Ship and everything is magical!
 
Here's how it works: I walked up to a picture hanging on the wall and stood on the little brass button on the floor. That's what brings the magic to my badge and this is what I see first.
As I move my badge up and down and sideways it begins cleaning the glass so I can see what is behind it.
 
As the glass gets clear I see that Goofy has one of the missing paintings.

I
It then shows me the painting I have found and which characters I have ruled out as suspects.

 A bunny and frog are wishing us good night for our last night on board. We have enjoyed them every evening.
 
As Mickey always says,
See Ya' Real Soon!!
