We decided to order some coffee and tea from room services before we went out to breakfast. The new process for getting off the ship is to join a virtual que. When we added to que, we were in the 8:35-8:50 slot, which was a little early since the breakfast we wanted to go to didn’t start until 8:30am. We kept leaving and returning the que until we were given a time that was better aligned to when we wanted to get off the ship. 

We got ready for the beach and headed down to Enchanted Garden to have breakfast. 

I decided to have a chocolate donut. It was a glazed donut that was dipped in chocolate! 

I had a Sausage and Cheese omelet with white toast and hash-brown.

Then it was time to fill up our water bottle and get off of the ship.

As we were walking over to the beach, we saw Chip and Dale out playing volleyball.

Captain Jack Sparrow was also at the beach.

We found some seats in the shade and headed to the water. The water was nice and cool and very clear. We floated in the water for a while, then it was time to go for our Aqua trike adventure. The aqua trikes are these giant bikes that ride over the water. Short person problem I could not pedal and steer at the same time! We rode around for a while, I tried getting some pictures of the ship, but it was hard to see the camera it was so bright outside! We had a good time and got in a good leg workout.

Once we made it back safely to shore, we saw Mickey chilling on his jeep like vehicle, so mom was able to get a picture. 

After that adventure it was time for a fruity drink!  

Lunch was at Cookie’s BBQ. There was a limited menu and again things look a little different. Once family would be in the line at a time getting your food. They would pass your plates around until you made it to the end where everything was placed on a tray. No spicy chicken sandwich. 

It was starting to look like rain was headed to the Island, so mom and I gathered our stuff and headed back to the ship. It did start to rain on us while walking back. We went up to the 13^th floor to go Satellite Falls pool. We enjoyed the rain and pool for a little while. I really wanted some soft serve, so we headed to Eye Scream. Well my brain and my mouth are not staying connected so I ordered strawberry and vanilla ice cream! Then was confused when she gave it to me. I could have asked for a new one that was chocolate/vanilla swirl which is really what I wanted, but I decided just to eat the vanilla and throw away the strawberry. 

Now time to go watch Black Widow. There weren’t a lot of people in the theater. Every other row was blocked off to help space people out when it does get full. I had difficulty staying awake during the movie. Not because I don’t like it just because it felt nice in there and it was dark. So, after the movie we headed up to Cove and got a coffee. We got there at the right time after we were given our drinks it was busy and no seats were open. Here they also have every other group of seats blocked off. There had some fun Halloween treats we did not get the ghost puff the first day and they didn’t have them anymore. 

It was getting time to leave Castaway, so we stayed up stairs to listen for the horn and watch the ship sail away from Castaway. It was a little hot and muggy outside, so we went back inside to relax until dinner time. 

Dinner was in Royal Court again tonight since it was Pirates Night. The dinner was also Pirate Themed, the cast members were dressed in pirate gear, and some pirates came into the dinning rooms. The pirate that was doing all the talking had a very high pitched voice, so we could not always understand what she was saying. There were other pirates that came around the room and they sang some pirate songs.

After dinner we decided to some more walking – we walked inside around the shops to see if there was anything else we might need. We did a few laps around outside. 

Shang -Chi and the 10 rings was the movie of the night- it was really good. After the movie it was time to head up to deck 12 to watch the fireworks. It was a short show only about 3 minutes, but still fun to see the fireworks.
