A Disney Dream... Day 3

Our third day was spent at Castaway Cay, we got some breakfast from Cabanas, before making our way off the ship. As we went past the Aquaduck we noticed it was just about to open and there was no queue, so took our chance to ride, it was cool and a great way to see the ship :)


We debarked the ship and could instantly tell the island was owned by Disney, compared to leaving the ship at Nassau, I was still in the Disney bubble. We made our way to the tram/transport thing, we decided to go to the adult only beach first which is called serenity bay, you have to get two seperate transports to get there, I'm unsure why there isn't one that goes straight there but it was easy enough to do.
The beach was everything I imagine a tropical beach to be, beautiful white sand, clear water, hammocks, cocktails on the beach and quiet due to the lack of people on the cruise without kids. It was so relaxing, we spent the morning on the beach, there were bbq's on the island for lunch, and one was at serenity bay so meant it was pretty quiet. The food was great and there were ice cream machines and cookies for dessert :)




After lunch we got the transport to the regular part of the island to explore the shops and get hair wraps :)
By about 2pm it was super hot so we made our way back to the ship.






When we arrived back on the ship we got changed and went to the animation class, it's very similar to the animation classes at California adventure & Hollywood studios, we also went along to the Disney quiz and we won!! haha turns out having Disney knowledge comes in handy :)





We got ready for dinner and the pirate night, the show that night was a Magic show with the magician we saw at the club the first night. Dinner was pirate themed, and there were pirate characters to meet and a pirate party with fireworks :) There was even a Monkey waiting in our rooms when we went to get ready for dinner with gold coins. We also watched the sun set from the end of the ship, it was so odd watching it set with nothing else on the horizon and made the decision tat the next day we would get up early to watch the sun rise.

Get Ready With Me: Walt Disney World

Click here to watch my new get ready with me video :)




I love watching getting ready with me videos so figured I would make my own and show people how I get ready for a long day at the most magical place on earth :D

Disneyland Diamond Celebration Merchandise

So this week the Disney Parks blog gave us our first look at some of the merchandise that will be available throughout the celebration. Click here to view the post and video!
Here's what I spotted that I loved while watching the video...


Minnie Ears! I love my pair of sparkly Minnie ears, so I'm super excited to buy there special diamond edition ears, I love the blue bow! Now my big decision is, do I take my original sparkly ears with me too?


To be honest I'm not a huge fan of all this jewellery, however I do really like the little Mickey hat necklace, and depending on the price tag, I may well purchase this for myself :)


Pandora! Last time I visited a Disney Park in America was August, so before they released the Pandora's so I was already excited to get my hands on them, and now with added 60th anniversary charms I'm even more excited, that diamond Mickey hat will look great next to the Sleeping Beauty castle charm on my Pandora.


Autograph books! My old autograph book is full, and although I bought a new one when I visited Disneyland Paris in December, it's not my favourite, it's an odd size, doesn't have the elastic band for my pen, and is really thin. So I'm excited to buy myself a new autograph book and these one's look great :)

What merchandise are you looking forward to seeing/getting?

Name change for Hollywood Studios!!

So it was leaked at the shareholders meeting yesterday that Hollywood Studios is getting a name change, considering the removal of nearly all the attractions that could link it to a 'studio' that's not a huge surprise. But what will the new name for the park be?

Will they opt for something similar to California and change it to Florida adventure or Hollywood adventure, or would this be too similar to the rival park, islands of adventure at nearby universal.

I'm excited for all the changes coming to Hollywood studios as I love the California Adventure park at Disneyland and hope it will become just as good if not even better, what are you hoping to see from the park in the future and what do you think they will change the name to?
