Disney’s Castaway Cay
I recently had the opportunity to take a cruise on the Disney Dream and stop at Castaway Cay, Disney’s private island. With this being my first cruise with Disney I was not sure what to expect when we left the ship and headed toward the beach.
First, let me say, that even the island had the service and the quality that you would expect from Disney. The cast members were friendly, the roadways and beaches were extremely clean, and the water was clear.
Once off the ship you have the choice to walk to the beaches or to take a trolley. Since we were going to the adults only beach we chose to take the trolley. To get to the adults only beach you had to get off one trolley and get on another one. There were lots of beach chairs and umbrellas once we got to the beach.
After just a few minutes on the beach a cast member met with us and asked if we needed anything. They will bring you free drinks (water, tea, soda) or you can use your ship key to pay for other types of drinks.
We laid out on the beach for quite a while and then heard a familiar voice from the shore. Jack Sparrow had come to visit the guests on the beach! It was really neat and he was definitely playing the part. He posed for pictures and spoke with all the guests who were interested. I saw pictures from the family beach and there were lots of characters there as well! This is just one of the many fun things about Disney’s Castaway Cay!
After being beach bums for a while we headed to lunch. Each beach, the family beach and the adults only beach, has a restaurant. The food was awesome and there was a good variety including hot dogs, hamburgers, fruit, chips, and ice cream. It was all you could eat or as little as you could eat.
After eating we decided to head back to the ship, but decided first to take a stroll to take in the sites. We did a little shopping along the way. You can use your ship key to purchase your items at all but one store. This particular store has items that you might find in Nassau.
I was extremely pleased with our time on Disney’s Castaway Cay. It was laid back and peaceful. I am definitely looking forward to a return trip!
