Disney Vacation Part II - Walt Disney Cruise
(To simplify things, everybody is referred to from Madeleine's point of view.)

After three days at Walt Disney World we got on a bus and headed to Port Canaveral to take a four night cruise on the Disney Wonder.

WDC04013.jpg (112559 bytes) Madeleine in the porthole of our stateroom.

WDC04014.jpg (162785 bytes) On shore at Castaway Cay, the Disney run island.  We could have spent the whole cruise here.

WDC04015.jpg (137213 bytes) What would be an eyesore at any dockside in the world is happy and festive on the Disney island!

WDC04016.jpg (169200 bytes) Uncle David and... uh... well... Uncle David on the beach at Castaway Cay.

WDC04017.jpg (160053 bytes) Madeleine and Dad enjoying the lunch they served.

WDC04018.jpg (106848 bytes) The beautiful beach.  Look how far out those people are;  nice, shallow, warm water.

WDC04019.jpg (189748 bytes) The airplane on Castaway Cay.  I included it because it shows up on the brochures and some of the collectible pins.

WDC04020.jpg (115182 bytes) Somebody will accuse me of scanning a postcard with this picture, but this beautiful shot was taken by Nancy.

WDC04021.jpg (150504 bytes) Everybody at Dinner!  From the lower left: Cousin Lauren, Grandma Emily, Grandpa Paul, Aunt Jane, Uncle Kelly, Uncle David, other Uncle David, Mom, Madeleine, Dad, Aunt Ann, Cousin Jack, and Cousin Kayla up front.

WDC04023.jpg (93997 bytes) More of those ears.

WDC04024.jpg (128023 bytes) Hanging out in one of the lounges, Grandpa Paul and the Davids.

WDC04025.jpg (117053 bytes) Madeleine with Jen at Flouder's Reef, the babysitting service that Disney offers aboard ship for children under age 4 who are not yet potty trained.  Potty training is the key for kids if they want to be able to do all the activities aboard ship.

WDC04026.jpg (123441 bytes) Madeleine enjoying ice cream up on deck after a splash in the pool.

WDC04027.jpg (123714 bytes) Madeleine making friends.  Her 2 1/2 year old vocabulary isn't impressing him I think.

WDC04TowelDog.jpg (127608 bytes) The cabin staff like to fold up your towels as cute little animals.

WDC04TowelMonkey.jpg (107999 bytes) They come up with a new animal every night. (I wonder if they know seven animals for the seven night cruise?)

WDC04TowelRabbit.jpg (122457 bytes) Madeleine with the towel rabbit.  She looks very happy, but I think that is because she has spotted the chocolate. 

WDC04028.jpg (112209 bytes) Uncle Kelly and Aunt Ann.

WDC04029.jpg (123946 bytes) Mom and Dad.

WDC04030.jpg (139985 bytes) The queue to get off the ship.  That is Dad in the red shirt pushing Madeleine in a stroller.  Getting off, getting our luggage, and getting through customs was a breeze.

WDC04031.jpg (123321 bytes) Lauren, Madeleine, Jack, and Kayla behaving themselves for the moment at the airport in Orlando.

WDC04032.jpg (132825 bytes) Dad, Madeleine, and Grandpa wait for the flight.

WDC04033.jpg (132232 bytes) And after a long flight, a stop over in Chicago, and an even longer flight, we're back home in San Jose.
