Hundreds
of Disney Internet Fans from Around the World
Gathered at WDW for MouseFest 2004
TUESDAY,
December 7, 2004
Today we awoke to another crystal clear, warm morning in the Caribbean.
We docked at Castaway Cay at 9:30. As we disembarked, we
were greeted by a family of snow people and a huge decorated tree.
Cast members were giving out holiday cookies and egg nog (no alcohol).
It was simply a gorgeous day.
At
11:15 all MouseFest cruisers met at the boat dock for a group
photo. The Disney Wonder in the background made for a great MouseFest
souvenir!

Members
of the group spent the day relaxing in hammocks, enjoying the
clear but cool water and lots of excursions. Some folks did walking
tours, others were out on kayaks, some went snorkeling and several
folks (including Deb) tried parasailing! It was an incredibly
smooth ride, several hundred feet above the motor boat that sailed
around the Castaway Cay waterways. We've even got a Parasailing
Meet all lined up for the MouseFest 2005 Cruise!

Tonight
is the Castaway Cay Club reception. Anyone who has sailed
on the Disney Cruise Line automatically becomes a member.
There are light cocktails and hors d'oeuvres and a chance to meet
the ship's captain. Also, if you are a Castway Cay Club member,
a welcome gift awaits you in your cabin upon your arrival. Recently,
the gift has been a colorful Disney Cruise Line beach blanket
(one per stateroom).

Also
tonight was the popular Golden Mickeys show. Performed
in the Walt Disney Theatre, this show highlights some
of the best Disney animated films with musical renditions. It
debuted in 2003 and quickly became a favorite of many.
Family
Fun this evening included "Who Wants to be a Mouseketeer"

After
dinner, Jennifer and Dave Marx hosted a meet at WaveBands
for '70s night. We had no idea we had even more celebrities
in our group! Vickie "Gloria Gaynor" Barrett
belted out her rendition of I Will Survive! She even won first
place in the Gloria Gaynor sing-off! Three of our men turned
out to be former Village People singers -- Chad, Matt and
Dave! The show made for lots of laughs.
