Disney should probably add some intermittent shade structures - maybe with H2O misters - but even at a casual stroll pace, this is only a 9 minute walk on a flat, smooth surface. Excluding those with physical limitations, we have become soft, like the passengers of the Axiom from WALL-E.

[@victoriamahon3765]

They also should add some benches in case people start walking out and realize they need a break.

[@mindyschocolate]

Yup

[@kimluarks2418]

The walkway/ dock was built that way to try to preserve the coral reefs.

[@soniajohannesson2713]

That’s garbage. Disney destroyed the natural reef and got away with it by reseeding baby coral that will take tens of years to grow to the size of what they destroyed. This whole enterprise is an environmental disaster for Eleuthera.

Bring a wagon! Lol

[@kpl-CA]

​@@TravelSpreeOfficial sooo... screw sick, injured, disabled and just plain TIRED people, then? Screw parents for not bringing equipment ("just bring a wagon!") nobody knew was needed - and that Disney "outlaws" in the parks? Oh, and screw anyone not local and not able to haul enormous, heavy equipment on a flight (because only Florida people "matter"?) In other words, the "I got mine, screw everyone else" typical USA attitude. Well, typical for a certain... "segment"... of the USA. That island is, objectively, a barren, unfinished, CHEAP hellhole. It *IS* inaccessible, hot, unshaded, minimal, food was infested with flies, stores were under stocked, bathrooms were sparse and dirty, staff were clueless/lazy, and it is all CHEAP, gaudy, racist, and very poorly done. And this is the "best" it will look. That area is all cheap facades slapped on cheap shanties. It should have been an embarrassment for Disney to "reveal" THIS. And this was a "god" Joe Rhode project? Where, exactly was his supposed "brilliance"? Wow, painted thatched roofs and a few gaudy decorative facades? Big deal. How absolutely minimal and disrespectful and cliche. Where is the creativity? Innovation? Inclusion of nature? Inclusion of all people? And where did aaaaall the money go? The money for development certainly didn't go into those Walmart quality "luxury" cabanas, cheap beach chairs, or minimal, bare, unimaginative design. I've seen better quality facades on movie sets. Disney Imagineering has utterly, utterly failed. Yet again. Which simply proves all the talented, knowledgeable Imagineers left a LONG time ago. A *huge* portion of Mexico looks better than this, at nowhere near the cost. Columbia has a brand new port/zoo area that puts THIS to shame - it is completely accessible, inclusive, innovative, fully shaded, and very enjoyable. This "resort" looks worse than a cheap national park, except national parks are *mandated by law* to be accessible, shaded, offer faculties that are FREE, to be built robustly and of good quality materials, and nobody LIES about national parks being ever sooooooo "creative" or "luxury" or "innovative". National parks are functional, accessible, inclusive, informative and planned by experts. Disney talked big about this project, and then delivered... This. 💩 Why on earth can't vloggers talk about the REALITY in front of them? Is it sunk cost fallacy? Once you pay for a cheap Disney "cruise" (that *isn't* a *real* cruise, and goes essentially nowhere, and certainly doesn't explore or respect other cultures). The "private island" three-day-specials with deep discounts for locals are the absolutely cheapest offerings Disney has. Do vloggers feel they HAVE to justify even that minimal cost by never mentioning problems? That's so dishonest. Refusing to discuss problems means offering nothing USEFUL, new, or CONSTRUCTIVE. Every time Americans have the opportunity to PROVE equality, their actions prove they don't really believe in *actual* equality. That's true for both corporations and individuals. Corporations are composed of the demands of individuals, they do not make decisions themselves. Instead of simply being inclusive and honest, at least half of Americans - and their corporations - have to be threatened and sued into inclusion, decency, respect and sharing. If Americans really believed in equality, all instances of accessibility failures would be a HUGE ISSUE, deeply offensive, unacceptable, and a dealbreaker for all until EVERYONE was included. But that isn't what happens, is it? Instead the privileged ignore everything unjust. The reality is, everyone *will* become severely ill or disabled, if they live long enough. The vast majority of people will also be parents, either deliberately or "by accident", and all people will be elderly, if they are still here. The inaccessible, bigoted society that the privileged permit now... is the future for them. And they deserve it.

Very helpful info - I appreciate your honest impressions, which are rare among the early vloggers who are eager to please Disney. You never know if you’re watching an ad.

[@JourneytoBaja]

I came here just to leave this. The bridge to the island is to protect the coral. It’s a 5 minute walk. You don’t need to “prepare” for a 5 minute walk. Nor do you need to warn people of a short walk .

[@TravelSpreeOfficial]

So you came just to seek attention, after many people have already made a statement about it… ok lol

[@JourneytoBaja]

I’m not looking for any attention, I’m just saying you are ill informed of why they have the nature friendly walk, vs running gas shuttles or other environmentally unfriendly things. A good walk is healthy for all ages. They also do have carts for folks in need of assistance. But speaking of attention, subject line never again.::: implies the whole excursion is trash which it certainly is not, it’s a poor take on questionable content.

That walk is just way too long for littles, elderly and the physically challenged. It’s even worse because there is no shade and no benches. Perhaps Disney expects to use golf carts when necessary. If there is enough backlash, they’ll address it.

[@countrygirl23256]

I had heard that they cannot run trams on the pier for multiple reasons. The pier had to be that long to preserve the coral reefs in the surrounding area. Also, to help preserve the reefs the pier had to be built in a way that cannot handle large trams and permanent shade structures. They could put up temporary shade structures but they would have to be disassembled very quickly in the event of inclement weather and with the pier being so long I doubt they would put many up if at all. It is nice to see that they can use golf carts for anyone that needs to use them but the walk doesn't seem that long, unless it is excruciatingly hot.

[@TravelSpreeOfficial]

It might have been better to be a tender port than a pier one. That would open up the availability to everyone

It feels like a lot of the issues can solved over time. Trees need to grow to help shade, plants in general will ease the heat (which is bouncing off and lingering in the concrete and sand) , and they are trying to keep the land preserved, which is way a lot are on walkways and very specific paths, that once they see where the bad hot spots are, can put up shades. I do think they should do first is seats on the dock, but i can see why they would be worried that people/children will use them to climb over the barrier.

I think they built the long pier so that they didn't have to dredge close to the island. I'm guessing they'll probably make shaded areas along the pier. It's brand new and they're still working on it, I'm sure.

Is Disney cruise a good fit for young couple like you guys? We did it before when our children were in elementary schools. It’s way too pricy for couples without children.

Disneys first island was awesome. Good food, trams and alot of activities. Snorkeling was fantastic. Only bad thing that happened was that my son got stung by a jellyfish. AWESOME BATTLE SCARS 🤣🤣!! The older island seems to be much better rhan the new one

I understand they are trying to preserve the reefs, but most ships then take you via Tender.

That walk would really suck after my 5 margaritas on the beach 😂😂

[@remyd8767]

That beach looks amazing. If all you care about is a great beach, this might be the stop

No. I completely get it. The heat is absolutely just too much sometimes. And I’m a native Floridian, guys. My husband and I went to Bonaire once and I swear we were in hell it was so hot. And ALL of their dining was outside. I couldn’t believe it! We finally found a hidden spot where we sat at this little counter but I didn’t care. Anything for relief.
