We Visited Disney's Lookout Cay At Lighthouse Point And Noticed A Few Problems...

[@ThemeParkExpress]

It has come to my attention took AFTER filming this video that the larger ships (dream/fantasy) do have sailings coming up to Lookout Cay fairly soon so please disregard me saying otherwise in the video. 😅

[@aprilsanders4715]

From what I noticed the older ships are sailing to Lookout Point while the newer ships are mainly sailing to Castaway Cay. I feel like that was to maintain interest on the older ships since they will sail somewhere new. There are a lot of sailings for the magic to both Disney properties next spring and summer, which is what we will be doing. We’ve only been to castaway once so we have a lot of visits to make up there.

[@lorid3112]

Yup we’ll be going there on 11/10 Fantasy cruise! Can’t wait. May eat on the ship though 😂😂

[@juliediane1352]

@@lorid3112Us too!!! double dip to castaway and one visit to lighthouse point on the Fantasy. I am obsessed with the fly issue. I think we will have a big breakfast and then an early dinner on the ship!! I saw another vlog that shows the flies had ended up on the ship at Cabanas!!😮

[@lorid3112]

Eeek I saw that about Cabana’s too! Hoping they sort it out before November. Haha. I’m really excited for this port. I’m happy to just hang out in a beach chair all day.

[@CarmenCookie]

Doing Nov. 2nd on the Fantasy. Castaway Cay and Lookout Cay. Beats going to Nassau again.

[@TravelSpreeOfficial]

It’s nice to see that added towel and a water station after dropping the ball the week before. All about learning and growing

[@TheOldRaven]

On Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point, A cruise ship docked, the crew disjoint. We stepped ashore with dreams so high, Till flies attacked our apple pie. They swarmed our lunch with zest untamed, Each bite a challenge, each sip maimed. In salads, drinks, they took their stand, A buzzing blight on tropic sand. So here’s a tip for those who sail: Pack fly swatters without fail. For paradise can swiftly die, When your main course learns to fly.

[@Mitchellfamily7814]

BEAUTIFUL POEM!! 🙏

[@sparklyjewlz]

This! 😂

[@florencedelvalle8145]

Your poem painted a very graphic picture. Kudos to your rhyming skills. Hope Disney reads it and fixes it!🤞🏽🤞🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@MissDisneyUSA]

😂😂😂😂

[@heatherharper0224]

You mentioned in your video that bigger ships won't be going to the new island, but we just booked The Fantasy for a 6-night at the end of October & it includes one day there, 2 @ Castaway, & 1 at Nassau. I'm hoping some of the kinks will be worked out by then, as I hear the beaches are beautiful. Thanks for the informative Fantasy series as a whole. We just got off The Wonder & loved it!

[@charlieaction6178]

our friends are going on a 5 night fantasy cruise next april and it makes a stop at lighthouse point!

[@FraserAtSea]

What a beautiful little island. However, it's clear that Castaway is still the primary resort stop, judging by what I've seen so far. I guess it's still early days - will be really interesting to see how Disney continue to evolve this island over the next few years!

[@debbeneke7802]

Flies in the Island would do it for me, doesn't matter how magical the experience there is something that can be done managing the flies,

[@mikeortiz8411]

They need to fumigate the island to keep the flys controlled.

[@emilydanger03]

OMG the flies in that one clip, I think they were worse on your cruise than videos I saw of the preview cruise!!!

[@scottpiner2149]

Enjoyed this trip to the new island. Looking forward to your day 2 recap of Lookout Cay. Those flies were something else. Wow

[@almond_jellii]

A shame about the flies on the island. Hope the second visit worked out better! I feel like I'd be the type of person to bring a sun umbrella. That looks like it would be a brutal walk back to the ship.

[@zakiyah9022]

Thank you for being raw about your opinions about the new island! About to watch the review video now!!! ❣️❣️❣️

[@leslienorman61]

Thank you for all the island content!!

[@kathysutler90]

Looks like a Beautiful ISLAND... Just need to get rid of those flies before I'll be booking a trip and eating there.. I would have to wait to eat back on the ship.

[@ANathan123]

I’m going on the Treasure in September 2025 and at first my family was a bit disappointed that the treasure wasn’t going to Lookout Cay. Now seeing videos, I’m kinda glad I’m not going yet. I would like to see the island evolve a little more and Disney take into consideration guests complaints to make the island better. My friend was on the preview cruise on the Magic and she said was that there was a lot of concrete and open space but not much shade. I also noticed that the renderings were A LOT more colorful than what was actually built. I would also like to see Disney put a pool in at their private islands. I’m not a huge beach person. Won’t be able to get there for a few years so I hope it changes for the better

[@Teacher659]

We went a month ago, trust me, you’re missing nothing. After a long walk in the heat and sun, you wait another 20 minutes at least, in the heat and sun, only to find all the seating, lounges and umbrellas gone unless your willing to walk 100 yards through sand to take a chance. We got stuck sitting on a bar stool for two hours…went back to the ship early. DVC member here.. .. this was a HORRIBLE experience. It was 45 minutes exactly from the time we left the ship, till the time we got stuck on barstools by the beach bar.

[@Julescasper]

Thanks for another awesome video Adrian. What I really love about what I love about watching your videos I feel like I’m on traveling with you guys and not in bed having to relearn how to walk again. As for the ISLAND it would be a pass for me right now. Can’t wait to see the next one! 😁

[@danidiscovering]

Thanks for sharing the new ISLAND stop!

[@clarehagley2165]

Adrain, as a nurse and type 2 diabetic on Ozempic. I inject in my stomach. I use a clock face around your belly button. Each week I use a different spot. Pinch your skin (tents up) insert needle and dispense dose. Make sure you wait 5-10 seconds before withdrawing needle (this is to ensure all of dose has time to be injected). I find that it is less painful in this area. Even for my patients at work I always teach around bellybutton. The newbie nurses teach leg and arm. I’m older and I was always taught to use the stomach around bellybutton for insulin, heparin and Clexaine. Hope this little tip is helpful to you. Love Perth Western Australia 🇦🇺

[@keatonrjones]

Yeah our docs told us the belly would be the better spots for sure!!

[@maggieesquivel4533]

I had to inject myself with insulin while pregnant. I just picked up Ozempic and starting Friday. The fat belly area is best. Doesn't hurt and really can't feel it. Good luck!

[@maggieesquivel4533]

Just had a thought: could they be thinking it injects like epinephrin, in the thigh? Ouch.

[@indyburns]

The flies on the ISLAND are disgusting!! Love your vlogs as always thanks for sharing.

[@jillisenberg9704]

Island! The flies! Oh my!

[@AudreyCooper-er7uh]

Island, seemed like they have alot of work to do. Thank you very much for sharing.

[@irodriguez3824]

I have been waiting for this vlog. I have seen many other vlogs about this island resort, but yours is the one I have been wanting to watch. Flies seem to be the common thread on all the videos. So sad. It is beautiful and I am sure that as the trees and greeney matures, it'll be even nicer. Hopefully we can visit next year. Ill be waiting for the cabanas vlog. They look spacious and comfy.

[@mjhadley2001]

Island. We loved watching this video and can’t wait to see your upcoming full review of the island. I really appreciate your complete honesty. It will definitely help us decide where to cruise to next.

[@heatherbender]

This was such a great vid! While it looks like Disney has some things to work out, I feel like they will and this would be a beautiful vacation spot. I have a lot of anxiety, so the amount of detail you put in your vids helps me so much and helped me feel confident to book our own Disney cruise!! Keep being awesome!

[@lisarog0503]

I wanted to say how much I enjoy your videos. When I need something calm, enjoyable and makes me want to feel nostalgic about Disney and the other parks, I always look forward to your videos.

[@lightning2k]

Wow, that is one long walk to the Island but the view from the Cabana's is really nice. But I'm not a fan of all those flies.

[@janetd57]

I was wondering how Lookout Cay was going to handle the crowd from the Fantasy, as it wasn't handling the Magic very well when we were there. Simply not enough tables for the lunch crowd. Let's not even discuss the flies.😑 You mentioned that the Fantasy will not be going there for the foreseeable future. However, we will be on the Dream in December, and it is scheduled for both Castaway Cay and Lookout Cay. I wish I could say we're looking forward to it. But after the first visit I'm not sure I want to go back. In any event, always love your vlogs!

[@sjeagles609]

We will be on the Fantasy Nov 10th sailing going to Lookout Cay, and have watched a few videos and hope they figure everything

[@flexnjewels]

Honestly, we may wait to visit the new ISLAND. Although we love everything Disney, I’m sure there is still more to come. Thank you! Excited to see your next videos.

[@warrenjones1883]

Great 'island' video, you covered a lot thank you and keep up the great work.

[@olafpamela]

We are on the Fantasy in November for a 5 night cruise that is going to to Lookout Cay and Castway. I hoping they can get the flies 🪰 undercontrol 😯 Thanks for sharing 🤗♥️🚢😃

[@mattanderson7419]

We noticed on Castaway, the cabana taxi's will sometimes go above and beyond. When re-boarding the ship (albeit we went back early to shower before dinner so it wasn't as jammed up) our taxi dropped us off 2 steps from the ship, while others were getting dropped off at the tram by the family beach. Make that personal connection as early as possible and they'll take care of you.

[@trisharobinson5733]

@ThemeParkExpress love your videos! Going on our first DCL vacation on the Magic next year in April! Question for you- did you guys ever post the link to the pattern Koda uses for her crochet ducks? I was looking for that! Thanks!

[@jodimaranville]

Loved the review of the Island !!

[@mrsdamm61408]

We enjoyed the video exploring the island. We’re set to visit on the fantasy in November and are eager to check out Lookout island and castaway on the same trip.

[@valentinahaggard4766]

We are headed to Lookout in October. Based on your video the ISLAND looks amazing. And it sounds like Disney has some improvements to make. Thanks for some of the ideas too. I was pegged for snorkel gear but now may not do it since we will at castaway.

[@catski23]

Loving the videos; Adrian & Kota! I’m also happy that you’re pairing up with Peter & Kitra. Excited for the vlogs & you honest opinions for Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point. I know so far; the biggest issues & complaints have been the “long” walk along the pier & the flies. Not sure I’ll ever cruise the East Coast sailings; as my disability limits a lot of how much I can travel without lying down. Plane rides from my home in San Diego would be too long; or adding extra expenses. So for now; my hope is to sail The Wonder in Spring 2026. Can’t wait to hear everyone’s take ; on “the island” 😊🏝️🏖️❤🚢

[@samandkellealbrecht9034]

The water and the beach is truly breathtaking. But until they provide more shade and the nauseating fly situation is resolved, we won’t go. Hopefully it’s addressed soon

[@emmasutton80]

[@elizabethdurr9665]

Island. I’m not going to lie-we have changed our next cruise itinerary so that we will not be going to Lighthouse Cay this morning. The flies alone-I wanted to 🤢. I am a nurse-no.dang.way. We love Castaway Cay so we will head there instead. Thank you for showing ALL aspects so we can be informed!

I felt that kid when they said they needed a nap on the tram 😂😂 had a big day on the ISLAND ❤

[@PrestonMcNair]

We were very tempted to try a cruise with this on the itinerary, but opted to wait just a little bit to let them work out some of the kinks and return to castaway. I think in a year this island will look absolutely beautiful once everything is grown in.

[@colleenkearney7922]

Island - looks beautiful! Yes hope they can do something about the flies. :) Great video!

[@shaun3423]

That orange ball is called a Monkey Fist. Every ship, even Naval, used them when tossing lines. It is a weight on the end of the mooring line so that the line travels further when thrown or launched using a modified M1 Carbine.

[@lyssie3608]

I'm hoping the island will look a lot better once the trees and other vegetation grow in. That will likely help with the insect problem as well by giving them another source of food than *our* food 😂 I think some of the things will iron out by themselves but I think Disney rushed this and now have to listen to guests when it comes to correcting the fallout

[@Cristhyavi]

Loved watching the video! Great coverage of the ISLAND 😂

[@laurenmullins4383]

Adrian where’s that hat from? The hubby wanted one right away when he saw it! We will also be on the island in Nov for the triple dip (2 castaway 1 lighthouse stop), looks like some of my fellow cruisers are here too!

[@msmoss8515]

Thanks for another interesting video of this part of the" Island". Looking forward to your opinion after your second day. Also, make sure you are letting the alcohol dry before your injections as that may be why you are getting the stinging sensation from your injections :)

I will be on the fantasy for with a stop at Lookout Cay in October, really hoping they sory out the fly and seating problems by then.

[@pattynoble3787]

I take Victoza for diabetes and additionally I use 2 types of insulin each day. Total of 7 injections at the least every day. I use pen needles i did not see a pen needle on the injection end of your pen. Thinking it maybe be a one use injection like when an injection is needed due to an allergic reaction to something. . I could see the pain in your eyes and on your face. I have no idea the size of needle you need to use. Since i take right at 50 injections a week I totally understand the " Where do i poke myself now?" look. Keep doing what ever it takes to lose weight which will help keep you away from type 2 diabetes. I have watched your vids from your early days. I appreciate your honesty with reviews. Thank you both for bringing us along on your adventures.

Thanks for the video we are going to the ISLAND May 2025 it will be interesting to see how the facilities of Lighthouse will evolve between now and then.

[@kiwisun529]

There doesn't seem to be enough beach loungers on the beach. So if you miss out not being first ones out you have to sit behind that grassy dune/hill? Or if you didn't pay the pricey cabana cost?

[@ThemeParkExpress]

From what we saw yes you miss out if you’re not the first off. Your view will be the dune. And no we did not pay for the cabana. We were invited by a family of viewers to enjoy and tour it

I think it will be a lot better in a couple of years, it also took some time for Cast Away to be the way it is now. I saw you are at our "homepark" in Paris right now, can't wait for those vlogs!!!

Theres a reason why they call it "port" side. Use to be that ships would be steered by a long oar and the side it was on was the opposite side they would load from.

The Fantasy is going there on November 10-16 Very Merrytime cruise.

[@RobStevens64]

We're on a Fantasy sailing to Lookout Cay in February, so the larger ships are definitely coming out there. But it looks like what they're doing is taking what would be a double-dip to Castaway Cay and turning one of those into a stop at Lookout Cay instead. I think the bigger issue is that the island just isn't finished. I'm sure Disney will keep making improvements and additions over time, I'm just hoping the fly issue is sorted by our cruise next year. Thanks for the heads up on the snorkeling. We have our own gear we'll bring.

You said something about the fantasy not going to lighthouse, I’m going on a cruise in feb on the fantasy that stops at castaway and lighthouse

[@Kris74F]

One thing I don’t understand is why they didn’t build a pool like Coco Cay. I feel Disney missed an opportunity to make Lookout Cay different than Castaway Cay. Feels like the same thing looks like the same island with the one exception you have to walk a mile in the heat with no shade. Very surprised they didn’t make it very different just like their Parks! Oh well

[@richd6362]

The island itself looks beautiful, but they need to do something about the flies, the lack of shade, and lack of enough seating.

The “island” needs fly control

[@xatuyou8045]

It’s obvious they needed these first few cruises to get feedback for what they can do better for the new location. They could try bug zappers or fly paper or whatever Disney world does to get rid of mosquitoes.

[@jimlaurito7938]

Zappers would be better than seeming fly paper, at least close to food. Unless they can put some fans around.

[@PeaceTrainJump]

It is crazy people would pay for this. The water is pretty, but everything else seems dismal.

[@Kris74F]

That’s not true I’m coming on the Fantasy in October and we’re going to Lookout Cay also the Dream is going in November so that’s not right what you saying about the ships going to Lookout Cay. Also I can’t blame people for getting upset about nowhere to sit and eat I mean you’re paying a thousand bucks a day to go on these itineraries just to go to this island! And on top of that you have to swat flys away from your food.

[@mikeortiz8411]

Disney needs to net off the entire food areas. That seems the only way to really be able to enjoy your food without inclosing the entire area. I also noticed a mix match on the tables and chairs some are made out of wood and some out of metal. Should be consistent, Also need hamocks shaded area. Also the water bottles with the coolers for puchase they should already be refrigerated or shaded off. Maybe they should have some smaller beach Cabanas like Cococay.. The Bars seem way too small with tiny little counters. They need to create some large bar huts like Cococay and maybe a larger shop.

[@davidartibello3988]

Thanks for the info. Will be visiting the "Island" in Sept.
