1st stop at Castaway Cay

July 10, 2010 | Disney

I had been looking forward to this day for MONTHS, years maybe. Going to Disney’s private island: Castaway Cay. Also, more importantly, going to the adults only beach on sid island…serenity bay! We got up early and went to breakfast at beach blanket buffet.

We got off the ship as soon as we were allowed. We were finally here, in paradise!

they have a real working post office!

we had to change trams at the family beach to go to the adult beach. We passed a fruit stand where you just go up and get what you want! (all the food is already paid for in the price of your cruise)

passing the family beach. It was so nice being one of the first ones out, we got to see everything all peaceful and undisturbed

the entrance to serenity bay…bliss

there was no one down the beach! We went a good ways down to be away from everyone

Ok that’s all for now. Plenty more CC pics will be coming up next time I post photos. Doing this is making me want to go back So badly! It is just perfection. I wouldn’t care if the cruise went anywhere else, just let us stay here!

On a running note, Bobby and I ran 3 miles this morning. It was quite humid, and started out overcast which was really nice. About halfway through the sun came out and we were not prepared. We didn’t even bring our sunglasses because all we saw were clouds when we started. oh well. I ran FIVE days this week. that is a lot for me. It only totaled 15 miles, but still. I am proud!

QOTD: What is your favorite beach?

    We have a beautiful area that’s about 15miles from our house called Salt Creek. It has a place to camp and it’s cheap too.

Just a mom trying to get her kid out the door followed by procrastinating about work. Then I end up working late into the night instead. 😵‍💫🫣

Turning 40 has me reflecting a lot — where I thought I’d be, where I actually am, and what “success” really means. Who is in charge of making those rules anyway? 👀

I don’t have it all figured out. But I’m learning that I’m not behind. I’m exactly where I’m meant to be.
And if you’re struggling with this too… you’re not alone. 💛

Recently, I had the opportunity to enjoy EPCOT’s Recently, I had the opportunity to enjoy EPCOT’s new adults only bar, Geo-82. ✨ 

It’s beautiful, sophisticated, and very nostalgic. The attention to detail is astounding! 

You can even purchase a fireworks package and sip and dine while watching the show with the music piped in and lights dimmed.

My fave? The brown butter old fashioned, complete with spaceship earth stamped ice cube. 🧊 🥃 

Reservations can be made 60 days in advance on the Walt Disney World app, and walk-ins are not accepted at this time. 

I will admit it’s pricey, so something I would save for a special occasion! Very cool experience though and would 10/10 go again!
