There is a lot of construction happening on the island right now in preparation for next year when the new ship, the Disney Dream, makes its debut. They are adding new areas (such as private massage cabanas) to accomodate more guests and to make the island even nicer! This new play area should be open in a few months!
Tanek wanted to say hi to Mickey and have our picture taken. He wasn't interested in having his picture taken with the other characters this time, though. Somehow, we did miss seeing Pluto - I'm quite sure Tanek would have wanted his picture with his favorite character! Pluto showed up on the beach sometime later in the day.
Here we are in front of the Pirate ship.
You can tell Disney put a lot of work into this island and its beaches. They created a large "lagoon" type area that is fairly shallow and safe for swimming and snorkeling. The color of the water is beautiful!
This picture is looking down on the island from the ship - you can see some of the construction in the background.
Here is Tanek after we finally convinced him it was time to leave Scuttle's Cove (the kids' activities program) so he could have some time to swim in the pool. He was covered with sand, so we went to wash him off at the showers before going back to the ship. By the time I could put our stuff down to help turn the shower on, he was standing there naked! Luckily, there was only one other person who showed up at the showers before I could get him dressed again! He can be so funny sometimes!
Tanek was having great fun at the beach digging in the sand and making sandcastles! 
Such a cool little dude! Once he realized he could dig all he wanted to with all kinds of sand toys, he was ready to go to Scuttle's Cove and spend some time at the kids' club. When we went to check on him, he was having the best time eating lunch with the other kids. Hopefully, he ate better being around the kids than he does for us!
And, of course, another picture of the Disney Wonder from the island.
