I’m the one from the “ADA cabana.” Some back story here might be important, I’m in my 30s and have incurable life threatening illnesses. My full time job is to stay alive and battle these illnesses. Every day I’m taking over 40 pills and doing IV medications. Very real chance I won’t live to see 40. Being among the first to go to the beach and swim at Lighthouse Point became an item on my bucket list. We confirmed over a month prior to sailing they would have beach wheelchairs on the island. They obviously did not. So I never got on the beach or in the water and got to watch everyone else do what I’ve spent over a year dreaming of that day. Disney is now having a different story about said beach wheelchairs and not being helpful at all. We used to sail Disney because they used to be so good at accommodating guests with disabilities and I have a large number of severe food allergies. They care more about their “influencers” than about a guest fighting for their life. They don’t want to make it right and they’ve been awful to deal with. This was our 23rd Disney Cruise and we can’t believe the way this situation has been handled. Truly disgusted. Ben and David it was lovely meeting you two! Thank you for sharing about these accessibility and disability problems.

There are metal mesh basket-like covers in frames which have been used for decades in the American South to keep flies off. I’ve noticed in other tropical places that the native people seem used to flies - after generations of not being able to do anything about them. But the tourists are North American and Northern Europeans, and will never accept this! I’m sure that Disney will heed suggestions made during this first opening of the resort. They will have the problem resolved quickly.

However, when we returned, poof! They were gone. I only saw one fly the entire day. Maybe it was just whether we ate at Too or the other one, or maybe there were less people due to it being the second day. But honestly, we think that Disney poisoned all the flies or something and got rid of them.

Always take an umbrella for shade on walks along with sunscreen coverage. The fly problems are easily resolved with screen or solid covers, and the whirly machines or fans to keep them at bay. Anyone who has ever eaten outdoors in hotter temps knows you have to keep the flies off the food. That is disgusting. Also, they should advise cruisers to take water bottles full off the ship, and refill them often to stay hydrated. Put misting machines along the along the path to cool off walkers. None of this is difficult to do.

Thank you so much, Ben and David! You never disappoint! I think “Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point” (😂😂😂) is beautifully designed! Can’t wait for those new plantings to grow - Ben, you’re right, the walkways will be shaded, with spectacular views. The inclusion of Bahamanian culture, availability of the work of local artists, and the employment of the those folks whose island this really is, make this a port I would really enjoy. Thank you for describing all the features and giving us the prices.

I think Disney need to figure some details out, lot of comments mention the walk and the flies and those are massive issues. The accessibility is also pretty important.

They definitely need another tram. One dedicated one for the pier, and one of the ones used in the resort to go to the pier for disembarkation when the need is concentrated. They also need resting spaces with benches and sun covers.

I, uh, I'm trying to think how to respond to this flies thing. I don't generally like to eat on Castaway Cay as it is because I just don't like the sand and food combo so this is going to be a hard pass for me unless something is resolved. I . . CANNOT. Now, sadly, it's not as quick to get back on board to eat as it is at Castaway so . . this is just . . a lot. We got in August and I'll keep an open mind and hope some things get resolved but I'm speechless.Having said that amazing video and the beach and the water look incredible!

Your video is very well done. Having visited the otherworldly beautiful Lighthouse Point on many Eleuthera vacations and most of the time being the only people there, seeing all of these people and knowing what it will do to the coral reefs and other wildlife makes me cry.

The beaches there look gorgeous! As far as the shopping, I liked the local stuff more than all the overpriced Disney stuff. As for the food, OMG, so gross with all the flies! I'd eat before going there. And they need to have a lot more shaded areas, including that horribly long walkway to get to the island. I can easily walk a few miles, but there will be elderly and people with mobility issues that will not be able to handle that. There should be trams or scooters to take people back and forth.
@aliehansen33182 ай бұрын
Can I just say it’s great that you guys were so professional and positive about things and upbeat saying “hey we are here the first day and there will be issues but I’m sure Disney will address them.” I’ve been seeing several vloggers be so negative and nasty about the first visit there.

I think you were very forgiving about the fly issue. I think if it was MSC you wouldn’t have been as soon understanding! The walk from the ship without any cover from the sun is also a massive oversight from Disney.

23:46 that’s how the buffets on Carnival’s Princess Cay was too. The food was COVERED in flies. We just ate on the ship and came back. The walk and the lack of shade for this is a no for me too. Hopefully they can work out the kinks since it is a new location.

What a beautiful resort, Ben and David. It is a shame about the flies and lack of shade. It may possibly get better when the palm trees grow and if they add more of them. But that long walk to and from the resort is pathetic. They need to add shaded benches along the way and/or run a tramcar from ship to entrance. I would be totally burnt before I made it to the beach, irregardless of how much sun block lotion I'd used.

Glad for this honest review, we are gonna let Disney hopefully improve somethings, the flies mainly! But also if they put covering to shade on the long walkways and walk from the ship that would help. The beaches are absolutely stunning! Well done review
