MouseFest Tuesday, December 4, 2007 Part 2

Ah… a day at Castaway Cay is like no other. After a fun time on the island it was time to head back to the ship.

Jennifer Marx and I are the judges for the Cabin Door decorating contest, an annual MouseFest Cruise event. This year we had the most entries ever and it was REALLY hard to pick the finalists. After returning onboard from the island, I made my way around all the decks to see the doors. What’s amazing is that Jennifer and I are usually in complete (or near complete) agreement about the finalists! That certainly makes it easier for us.

Tonight’s events all take place in the Promenade Lounge. In addition to the cabin door announcement, there is also a pirate costume contest and its PIRATE night onboard the Disney Wonder.

Jennifer and Deb announced the 5 finalists in the Cabin Door Contest and Randall Dobson, of the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin awarded the grand prize. The photos of the doors really don’t do them justice…..they were quite creative, original and decorative. Contestants must include MouseFest in the theme of the door.

The first cabin announced was Justin and Sunnie. Unfortunately, they were not present so Maggie accepted their magnet for them. Their theme was the SS MouseFest. Simple yet fun and included the necessary MouseFest theming.
