Everything You Need to Know About DISNEY’S CASTAWAY CAY!

[@Eatsleepcruise1]

Have you visited Disney's Castaway Cay in the Bahamas?

[@dianekenny9543]

no but i wanna go FYI im a kid

[@Kingmiles168]

Same lol

[@I_am_cheeseman]

Yes it was THE BEST DAY EVER

[@ART-kp9cn]

Just got back. Was beautiful

[@johndefalque5061]

I love that it's not over developed. No big Coney Island amusement park, no giant resort hotel, no massive pool complex.

[@deniseorlinski8056]

Thank you for the video I definitely want to a Disney cruise and I want to go to castaway cay

[@Eatsleepcruise1]

Many of their ships go to Castaway Cay. Do you want to do a full week cruise or a shorter one?

[@ChicagoSteve69]

I was there in 2000 on the Disney Wonder when our kids were 9 & 6 absolutely an amazing vacation!

[@Eatsleepcruise1]

It is one of our favorite cruise line private islands!

[@ChicagoSteve69]

@@Eatsleepcruise1 at the time we cruised the Wonder ship was only 1 yr old, looking back at our trip since it’s been 23 yrs ago from the year 2000 it was an amazing experience! We did a 4 day land at Disney World and a 3 day cruise. It wasn’t cheap around 6k back in 2000.

[@ryantaylor841]

Good cruise

[@ChicagoSteve69]

@@ryantaylor841 your absolutely correct! We totally enjoyed it.

[@AlexP253]

Looks like it’s a tic above RCL’s Labadee, clearly better than Carnival’s private island (won’t even mention NCL’s island) but not even in the same league as RCL’s Perfect Day at Coco Cay. Honestly I expected more from Disney.

[@I_am_cheeseman]

It’s way better when you experience it in real life

[@ryankoehler3170]

They need to figure out how to get this to be a two day stop with a hotel for people to stay. Maybe a 7 day cruise.

[@Eatsleepcruise1]

That would be awesome.

[@TravisAlexisNewsome]

I left a thumbs up. Thanks for sharing all of the good info.

[@Eatsleepcruise1]

Glad it was helpful!

[@anageiger9194]

Can’t wait to go next year!!

[@lesliejones7609]

Thanks for the in depth info!!!!

[@chrislambourn6226]

Hi, do you know if there are changing rooms on the island? Thanks, great blog.

[@Eatsleepcruise1]

We don’t know first hand but would think so given there are a lot of family areas on the island. When is your next cruise?

[@chrislambourn6226]

@Eatsleepcruise1 thanks for the info, we fly out to Florida on the 21st February but set sail on the Fantasy on the 24th- cannot wait!

[@petestrong5971]

I love Castaway Cay, but I'm always surprised and disappointed that they don't have a pool, seems odd to me as all the other cruise lines have a pool on their islands.

[@micahmoore9845]

Why do you need a pool when you have the ocean?

[@elmomonster6043]

@@micahmoore9845Exactly

[@UberPanzerhund]

​@@micahmoore9845 Aversion to salt water or fear of the ocean, probably. I prefer swimming in the ocean though lol

hello, this was very helpful video. about to go on our first Disney Cruise this year. took a lot of notes on this. thank you once again. got a video on the Fantasy ship?

[@Eatsleepcruise1]

Glad it was helpful! Unfortunately, we have never sailed on Fantasy. Have a great trip.

[@heidigomez001]

My 2 children and I are also going on the Fantasy ship in December.

[@nickns23659]

A fantastic island to visit, our kids love it and we are going again this April. Would love to get a Cabana but it's nearly impossible as they a quickly booked up by Platinum Castaway Members

[@Eatsleepcruise1]

Yes, it is lovely.

[@sharonrendfrey8848]

Those slides!!! Can adults go down them or only kids?

[@Eatsleepcruise1]

Adults too!

[@ryantaylor841]

Adults too

[@disneyanddaysout]

How Beautiful is Castaway Cay. This is definitely going to be on my bucket list hopefully one day we will get to experience this wonderful Island and the cruise 😊😊

[@lydiagoodloe7817]

Are there jogging stroller available for the 5K?

[@laceycsobor2481]

We have a fishing excursion then a few hours in between the glass bottom boat. Is their a restaurant near that area? Sounds like we will stay in that area

[@timbarry2743]

I wish they had a pool on this island, my wife isn’t a fan of beach water lol… I hear other private islands do have pools.

[@Eatsleepcruise1]

That's correct. Royal Caribbean's Perfect Day at CocoCay has a great lagoon pool.

[@mattdisney1132]

I can’t wait to see it again

[@Eatsleepcruise1]

Us too. We need to plan another DCL cruise.

[@dianekenny9543]

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

I remember the water burned my eyes so bad for some reason

[@bulkyturnip]

Because it's salt water lmao 🤣 What did you think.

[@nicolewhitfield6856]

Cool

[@joziah_smithh]

so what do you do on the ship when your 13 ? 😭

[@MokaraFloral]

Wondering this SAME thing. The lost age ? What the heck??

[@enhaskzbloom]

@@MokaraFloralhave you ever been on a Disney cruise before? I’m thirteen too, and I think there’s actually quite a lot to do.

[@cccreativityvlogs2971]

I don't drink. What can I do? 😂

[@FXQC]

why did you put a fake linear blur ....

[@Eatsleepcruise1]

We didn’t. But thanks for watching.

[@ingridjames9570]

Dont ever rent the cabana 2,3,4,5 you will have a beach of rocks and cut yourself and end up tearing up their floats and inner tubes!

[@Eatsleepcruise1]

Thanks for the tip!

[@RhodeIslandDude]

Disney should update the name of castaway cay, it is spelled KEY not CAY.

[@Buckle02]

Cay is a lowbank or reef of coral, rock or sand. "Key" is the correct pronunciation

[@oozcroom]

Is this like Epstein Island but with Mickey & Friends?

[@ddc163264]

Yes, it's NOT worth it! It was AWFUL! Cast should warn people that the flies swarm EVERYWHERE! Never could eat the food, because if you put anything down they covered everything. The post office was CLOSED for our whole day, so don't count on using it. As I couldn't eat I went back to the ship to eat in peace. The place isn't maintained very well, it looked old and run down. The painted buoys hadn't been refreshed and were rusted. Trams were in bad shape too. So much for a high "disney" standard. Not worth the price.

[@jessigirlrae1688]

thats crazy. I just came from Royal Caribbean's private island and it was amazing. I was sure Disney's would be, but this looks disappointing

[@nickns23659]

So interesting to hear the different experiences. We went in 2019 and it was beautiful, great weather and I don't recall an issue with bugs. Our kids had a blast and were doing another cruise with Disney in April - looking forward to Castaway even more this time now that we experienced it.

[@yikesvikes]

My wife, sons, and I went summer of 2016. We didn't find insects to be an issue..... However, I think it should be noted that flies, etc are as likely to be at any and all the islands, being tropical. 😉 Also, given that there's generally an ocean breeze blowing, that tends to limit flying insects. Everything was well maintained when WE were there, and all the recent videos I've seen, everything was well maintained, and non of the content creators mentioned lack of maintenance (And they would have.)..... Sounds a lot like you don't enjoy much.... But I wasn't there when you were. You must one of very few people who don't love Castaway Cay.

[@blondegoddess65]

We were there August 2022 and had no issues, our 5th visit there and have never seen it dirty or had an issue with bugs

[@ddc163264]

@@blondegoddess65 Flies were everywhere at the adult beach, and the food area looked like it hadn't been worked on in years. Other than the rusted and faded things at the first beach they seemed decent, but not in what should be old style Disney condition. New corporate disney style almost anything is acceptable unless it could lead to a law suite.

[@orlandopotts4819]

Is the water cold in December

[@Eatsleepcruise1]

We were last there the end of October, and the water was still nice.

[@tamrahenry1706]

I too would like to know the answer to this question.

[@corychapman2964]

Yes we went on dec 24th 2023 and the water was freezing. It was about 75 degrees out od the water
