Going to universal on a Saturday, define key didn't even think about the space station!

I'll be going in the beginning of October so beach is on the table. Nassau and a private island owned by Disney are the main stops

I'm taking that same cruise next May....

Just a note, don't forget you can take alcohol at each port. So before you board in Nassau, check out Pirate Republic Brewing for a couple microbrew 6 packs to take back on the ship

Here is our itenerary...

Friday - fly in and do Spirit of Aloha at Disneys Polynesian Resort
Saturday - Disney park
Sunday - Disney park
Monday - pick up rental from disney car care center ($115 for the day), drive to port canaveral to board with the earliest port arrival time possible

when we return
Friday - disembark and get rental car ($89 for the day - cheaper then Disney transfers for three of us) and either hit Legoland or Uiversal
Saturday - Disney Park
Sunday - Disney park in the morning then fly home

Castaway Cay. It's legit. We had a great time there. Includes food as well - a BBQ lunch.

I think you said you are doing Atlantis in Nassau? It's very nice. Was a little too pricey for my family, so we found a deal at the Nassau Hilton.

The food is ok, but the drinks are good. I had about a half dozen Sands beers. The resort was pretty empty the day we went. Nice beach area and a nice pool. They ended up giving us a bunch of free drinks as well, and also gave us these plastic tumbler glasses.

Definetly not as nice or exciting as Atlantis but a heck of a lot cheaper.

We only stayed about 3-4 hours at the resort. Left there, did some shopping, went to Pirate Brewing, and then got back on the ship in enough time to catch a late lunch.
