Join us as we explore the brand new Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point on the inaugural cruise onboard the Disney Magic! This hidden gem offers a glimpse into the vibrant culture, warm hospitality, and breathtaking beauty of The Bahamas. Find out how it compares to the private island of Castaway Cay.
Walking along the blush-sand shores and diving into the crystal-clear blue waters, we were captivated by the stunning vistas of the Caribbean Sea. Disney Cruise Line truly knows how to create a magical experience, blending the island's rich traditions and stories with Disney-designed amenities.
But some things were not quite ready or up to the normal Disney Quality. Join us on this first look of the brand new resort on the island of Eleuthera and see why Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point is a must-visit destination for cruising enthusiasts.

[@user-ru6mg5uu7i]

The flies are outrageous. Disney needs get real and have enclosed, air conditioned spaces for food service to keep the flies out. Flies on food and flies laying dead next to it as seen on this video is awful. Even worse the pathogens they carry. They need to control the breeding sites, too. Great video. Thanks.

[@ergloo6660]

Agreed stop Americans spreading

[@birbluv9595]

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.

[@FrielFamilyFootball]

Disgusting.

[@wiiuenjoyer36]

Idk if anyone knows this but I just got off the Fantasy’s Lighthouse Point Inaugural cruise today, and we went to LP twice. On the first day the flies were just like in the video. 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.

[@meatpockets]

Noticed the same same at the Virgin beach club in Bimini… yuck 🤢

[@Plum_bird]

I’m disappointed in Disney not being prepared for families with disabilities. Some things just seem ridiculous; no power doors, ramp that falls short, and the biggest no beach wheel chairs.

[@peteri8924]

Yeah they could easily buy a few beach wheelchairs and send them on the first ship but they just didn't bother. The ships drop supplies there every sailing so it's shocking.

[@debthomas2078]

even a manual sliding door would have been an improvement.

[@ahuss920]

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.

[@DisabledAtDisney]

I hope you can keep escalating up the company, keep fighting them. It’s awful influencers get free trips but they aren’t returning you when they finally have the island ready for disabled guests, whenever that might be

That long walk with no shade is a deal breaker for me. They need trams.

[@flyingfree3422]

DCL says that a tram on the pier is “not feasible.” I think they will come to regret not building it large enough to handle the trams. Rules it out for me as well.

[@FlaGirl2004]

Looks like I won’t be visiting either.

[@djahant]

They could put those sail shades along that walk. The walk out may be fine but after a long day in the sun, it's too much to walk back so I agree trams would be an improvement especially if you have children. They will be cranky. LOL.

[@ginacota9724]

Although it’s beautiful, I’m not a bit interested in visiting! Especially with the flies in the food (disgusting) and that long hot walk to and from the ship is a dealbreaker for me!

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.

that's exactly what i was thinking that any health department in the USA would shut them down immediately. It's crazy considering they've been operating Castaway Cay for so many years and i've never noticed a problem with flies there. One difference is at Castaway Cay you walk inside the food areas to get your food. It's not just a window that you walk by. You actually enter into the food area to pick up your food. Maybe that makes a difference?

[@Cruisewith]

We have to say we were somewhat surprised Disney didn't shut it down and direct people towards the ship for food.

[@ragdolly22]

I’m just wondering how much food is wasted because anyone seeing all those flies enjoying the food first certainly isn’t going to eat it.

I live in coastal SC. After hurricanes, many new plants and palm trees (shallow roots) get totally wiped out. That happened here a couple months before a huge PGA tournament. I’m surprised that Disney didn’t open this in mid winter to give the plants more time to take hold before the bad hurricane season that’s predicted. Fingers crossed that the area doesn’t get any direct hits.

Heys guys. Prepared this video quickly. That walk folks are saying is like 1/2 a mile and gotta be on a list for the shuttle. I’d need the tram or shuttle from the ship. 12-15 minutes walk for you is probably an hour for me 🤦‍♀️. Notice this walkway has railings. Gorgeous water indeed. The loungers in the cabana/villas look thick indeed. Beautiful souvenir shops. 🚲 rentals. Look at the art and Disney woven bags. Arts and crafts too. Oh no. I could never eat that chicken. There was a dead fly l. Some other creators reported the same. The beach 🏖️ is lovely. Nice there is an adult area only as well. The kids waterpark look fun. Well this is the preview cruise so with their amazing customer service; I’m sure they take opinions and suggestions into consideration. Thanks for sharing 🤗

$1000 to sit in a shed and eat fly-covered food? I didn’t realise Disney had acquired Fyre Festival too

[@GlitterSparklez1]

I was thinking the same thing. It reminded me of the fyre documentaries.

Such a weird pier design…a crazy long walk just to get on a tram at the end….since Disney designed the pier it would have made much more sense to just make it a little wider and have the trams come on the pier…it’s clear it can handle trucks because they drive many on it so why not the tram…

[@Cruisewith]

It’s to protect the reefs - but yes would have been much better to be a little wider!

[@ljviks22]

@@Cruisewith you don’t need a larger footprint to make the top surface wider. We have piers here in California that have a smaller footprint in the water that are 3x as wide….And just this weekend one had over 100 cars on one of them for a car show so they can easily handle the weight. I can understand not wanting gas powered trans on it for environmental reasons but they can make EV trans in 2024…especially with Disney money. Just seems like the pier logistics where a afterthought and its not the number 1 things mentioned on every video about it. Sure people should be in shape to be able to walk in but they have a tram going right up to it already so it should have just been planned to go on the pier.

I think the pier runners would be dropping like flies with the length of this pier.
