Why Castaway Cay Is Disney Cruise Line's BEST Private Island Destination! Disney Fantasy Vlog 5

[@h77regina]

I wish the washing machine and dryers would lock when you use your key card to start them so that only your key card can open them to get your clothes out.

[@Jason-g6q]

It would need a time limit with that

[@GrumpyCanCan]

That family that’s done 50 cruise or more since 2017 had to have done MULTIPLE back to back 3-4 day cruises throughout the year. Has to be at least 6-8 per year and made up for it with the 2020 lockdown. I just want to have access to their bank account to be doing all that. Lol

[@ThemeParkExpress]

SAME!

[@ANathan123]

One can only dream. I’m at 4 right now (just haven’t been on the dream) and about to be 5 when I go on the treasure in 2025

[@Kris74F]

50 cruises on Disney is no less than 175K

[@icetray8804]

Laundry is so tough in some of these places. I waited all day for someone to take their clothes out of the washer at Grand Floridian. Hours 😥

[@goofeyaboutmickey]

You are a better person then me, if someone did that to my laundry, I’d have opened the door of the dryer just to stop their stuff from drying

[@heroisms]

We had someone remove our laundry too. Some people are inconsiderate! My only tip moving forward unfortunately is to return before the time is up and be there when it finishes. At least it’s just a tiny part of cruising and doesn’t take away from the good stuff :)

[@kellscrawford9076]

I’m always nervous about impatient people messing with my clothes at resort washing facilities so here’s my trick, I set an alarm on my phone for 10 min prior to when the clothes should be done and then head to the washing/dryer room early and standby next to my machine while it finishes. Watch a KZbin video or scroll socials while you wait it’s not too bad. This has worked really well at Cabana Bay. Can’t speak for Disney tho.

[@LENNIE-LCO]

That’s why I am nervous about going to public laundromats because of that very reason. When I browse through the apartments I always select the in unit washer and dryer option because I don’t want to step outside or go anywhere just to go do laundry!

[@RanjitRozario-p5z]

Since there are a lot of comments about the laundry, here are my 2 cents. Usually, you get the notification on your phone about 5 min before the dryer actually stops. So if you took 5 min to get there, the person must not have waited at all before removing your clothes. Also, the dryers on DCL ships do not dry for long enough when doing jeans. I typically have to put my jeans back in for a second cycle.

[@ThemeParkExpress]

That’s great to know for the future thanks!

[@ThatRedhedd]

I've been on a few Carnival cruises, and the idea of PAYING for a meal on a cruise is WILD! I thought the best thing about a cruise was the all-you-can-eat gluttony included in the ticket price!

[@Berrypatch360]

Castaway! What fun to get to see one of the beautiful cabanas this time around.

[@CiiCouree]

Castaway! Love these vlogs so much!!!

[@alphahunterd]

laundry situation that happened to you is such a collage thing to do.

[@Jason-g6q]

This island opened in the 90s is light years ahead of the new offering it feels looks and breathes Disney magic.

[@ThemeParkExpress]

It really does! It’s perfect!

[@sarahhanisko5128]

CASTAWAY Cay is the best!

[@dianataormino1261]

I love Castaway Cay ❤️ rain or not it so relaxing

[@kimp7160]

Why was that laundry guy in such a rush? He's on a Disney boat in the Caribbean! Just kick up your feet and relax! But that is another reason why I always over-pack. Even when I visit family and know I have free use of their washing machines I prefer to have what I need ahead of time and only use their machines if something untoward happens (and I try to prepare for at least one spill/sick incident per person). I get bored on beaches quite easily unless I have a great book with me but those cabanas would have me be willing to be CASTAWAY there forever!

[@pennstatemom12]

Regarding the maps and signs , I just think the island isn’t done yet. It clearly opened a tad prematurely. I bet within a few months we will see many improvements on the new island . At least that is my hope.

[@ThemeParkExpress]

100% it opened early and I hope we get lots of signs haha

[@danidiscovering]

Our next cruise will be our first ever visit to CASTAWAY and I cannot wait!!

[@jamison843]

I would have been mad too with the whole laundry situation. Glad to see it didn’t stop you from enjoying your vacation

[@OfMiceAndTrains]

Always fun at CASTAWAY Cay

[@DivaChicluvsCena]

CASTAWAY will always be my favorite!

[@caitlynskiff2001]

Castaway! The laundry situation happened to me once when I was living in a college dorm. I had set the timer on my phone and when I got back to the laundry room my clothes had been taken out of the washer and put on top of the machine. It couldn't have been more than 5 minutes between the washer being done and me getting back to the laundry room. People just don't have patience nowadays.

[@CandiceD7570]

That laundry situation was so uncalled for, that person needs more than a cruise to get rid of some of that impatient attitude and unnecessary anger. I’m glad that despite that y’all had a great time 🎉

[@leandraaveritte1215]

So sorry about the laundry "PEOPLE ". Hope you make this series a long one like some of the others. Love the when you put tge whole series as one and thanks for the great videos. CASTAWAY 😅😊😊

[@vanessabussiere4196]

The same thing happened to us with the laundry. !!On deck 2! With a guy (obv not you) huffing and puffing!!!! I bet it was the same guy

[@PaulAdler11]

Thank you for what you do. Your videos really help my anxiety

[@gaaraXmaiko4ever]

CASTAWAY 😝 Also the laundry thing would have had my anger issues on a spiral 😂 I would wait to see who pulled clothes from the dryer to figure out who did it 😂

[@dismom3197]

Love the towel frog! We have never gotten a frog before. Note: I have done laundry on the Wish where there is only one laundry room on deck 8 and I think that system works better for guest to guest respect. You probably have to carry laundry to a different floor, but there are so many more machines in the one location. There is probably one free for someone so they don't feel the need to kick you out! (Plus they have more dryers than washers which makes sense since sometimes people just want to dry wet swim stuff.)

[@joshuahubert6908]

If heaven had a flavor, it would be that chocolate soufflé ❤

[@mcbbear]

I don’t blame you for being mad! I would have been livid. That’s just ridiculous! I’ve really enjoyed your vlogs. Enjoy the rest of your cruise!💕

[@RohdeFam]

Oh my gosh I would have been LIVID if someone pulled out my clothes and just dumped them somewhere. Wow. I would never do that! Super rude and entitled behavior. That huge cabana is awesome! I’ve done a cabana once on Serenity with my friend so we split the cost. SO WORTH IT. The family ones are a lot pricier than the adult ones though.

[@nicolemalisa8657]

Castaway 🚢 I am shocked that someone would take your clothes out! That’s just crazy! Glad you have fun at castaway. Love the channel. Meet you on the Fantasy which was supposed to go to Bermuda.

[@irodriguez3824]

So glad you had a great time at CASTAWAY. I love that place! Loved the view from the cabana...wow!

[@Ujwjsjsmsd]

Even though it was gloomy, it was still a amazing day at CASTAWAY cay!

[@utravelvlogs]

Don't understand why some vloggers are claiming Lookout is the best island...Castaway is the best, no comparison!

[@Jason-g6q]

Paid shills

[@dominiquebrown8790]

@@dominiquebrown8790 Unfortunately! We need more honesty!

[@porkins74]

Lookout looks fantastic. Never was impressed by Castaway.

[@dominiquebrown8790]

​@Utravelvlogs 100% agree. Others acting like flies, no chairs, seldom shade....was no big deal....nah.. thats a HUGE DEAL. Even the walk to the island is. *I do get that though, conservation...* it's new...it needs improvement..call a spade a spade..don't act like everything is perfect.

[@charlesgoddard7172]

CASTAWAY. Great video as always. Yes, people can be very rude and impatient when it comes to the laundry.

[@zakiyah9022]

Another great video!!! Can’t wait for the updates on lookout point!!! Castaway ❣️

[@Kmmk467]

I must say, you are much better than me because I would have taken that persons clothes out right back. I’m surprised Disney doesn’t have a timer where no one else but the person washing can open the washers or dryers to prevent this.

[@disneyfamof5615]

Castaway is my favorite place to visit while cruising.

[@ThatRedhedd]

When did they change "cay's" pronunciation to sound like "key?"

[@baharaelena1990]

That’s really disrespectful to Koda! To have a stranger touch her underwear and then to leave it out for all to see is horrible

[@michaelhernandez5384]

We had cabana 20 last November on our trip. Nice views of the ship from there.

[@ThemeParkExpress]

The views were amazing!

[@aprilsanders4715]

We had the same problem with the laundry. I went back to the laundry room as soon as I got the notification and our half dry clothes were also removed but the person who did it told me where she put our sruff, also undergarments and all. I just folded it and took it back to the room half done. It was grand cayman day so a lot of people were taking advantage of the later ashore time to do laundry in the morning. I had lit out stuff in around 6 am and thought I beat the rush. I wonder if there’s a bit of a delay between the machine ending and the notification sending. I stayed up and did laundry late on our Alaska cruise because I was a night shifter and couldn’t sleep anyway and had better luck with less demand for the machines.

[@suziequeue2]

Castaway is going to be the best choice for a couple of years🤷🏻‍♀️ thanks for taking us along. Looking forward to Palo🥰

[@joshericacruisers2446]

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for stopping by.

[@MaureenReber-g1x]

Hello Adrain and Koda, My husband and I were just on the Fantasy a month ago. We had a very hot day on CASTAWAY CAY.

[@juliediane1352]

I wonder if the fly situation is better at castaway because there is a building you have to enter to get food and they can have more moving air. The Lookout one is just a window.

[@valentinahaggard4766]

I'm super stoked to see the spirit wear at Castaway in October.

[@CarlieSheehan]

Can’t believe someone touched your laundry…I would have wanted to rewash everything and been Soooooooooo mad.

[@grateful7785]

Sorry that happened with dryer. Tip on the machines issue.... go back 5 or so mins Before your time is up and be ready to take your own clothes out or run for a bit more time if needed. You'll beat the knuckle heads to it. I learned this the hard way during my college years. I get it!

[@laurafarmer9760]

Castaway for the win 🏆 🎉 We have done laundry on all the Disney ships and never had a problem with others taking our stuff out of the washers or dryers. We look at the amount of time expected for completion and show up a few minutes before that time. Sorry someone took the liberty of removing your clothing from the dryer....not cool on their part.

[@ANathan123]

I really wish DCL would have some sort of pool area on their islands. I think the beach is pretty but I’m not really a beach person. Also a small thing I wish they would change is the lounge chairs. I never found that style of chair comfortable….also some walkways in the sand would be nice.

[@justme-qd4uv]

Another one bites the dust! Thanks guys! I must say.. if I was ever stranded and left behind on CASTAWAY cay.. I would be in heaven. 😁💕💃🎉🎊😎

[@1akopec]

Love me some castaway cay! But I am excited to visit lookout for myself in October ❤️❤️

[@jamesgardner578]

So for the clothes thing it’s like fire dept man adapt and overcome buddy nice job with the hair dryer lol

[@porkins74]

I can’t believe an up charge exclusive restaurant allows jeans. Enjoyed the video.

[@cgavin40]

Laundry on a Disney ship is some kind of competitive sport. Some people do their laundry overnight and early morning because availability is difficult. That was a really rude to take your clothing out and put it on the table. Beautiful Castaway Cay day despite the weather. Amazing cabana wow!!!

They’re there. You just have to ask for it 😁

[@richd6362]

I'm sure CASTAWAY wasn't perfect the first two or three or fifty days it was originally opened. Lookout Cay will take a little time.

[@flexnjewels]

One day I’ll make it to CASTAWAY Cay.

[@ABC_Dragon]

Maybe this is a California practice, but here it’s actually considered the norm to remove other people’s laundry in areas with limited washers and dryers. I’ve lived in apartment complexes, stayed at various hotels, and experienced this for four years at my college dorm, where removing clothes for others was routinely done. Ironically, leaving your clothes in the dryers after the cycle was considered rude. You emphasized that the guest removed your clothes not five minutes after it was finished drying. But the guest doesn’t know that. To them, your clothes could’ve been sitting there for 5 minutes or for an hour. And especially after a beach day, the units are in high demand. The guest can either remove your clothes and stick theirs in, or wait and risk someone else removing your clothes and sticking theirs in. I suggest setting a timer on your phone to go off 5 minutes before your load finishes to avoid others touching your belongings. That’s what I do on the cruise.

[@keatonrjones]

Ever lived in apartments or went to college??? Very similar all the time. Castaway!

[@DisneyGirl1982]

I wish they would change the questions for match your mate...

[@ThemeParkExpress]

The questions can be pretty repetitive for repeat cruisers. However we have seen some variations in the past. We just love how the answers given are different every time. You never know what you’re going to get with this show so that’s why we love watching every cruise

When drying jeans always dry them on high

[@lyssie3608]

When I was in college, we had two washers and two dryers that two whole floors would share. Even then, with so many people and so few machines, we as 18 years olds knew that it was the HEIGHT of rudeness to take someone else’s clothes out (exceptions made when someone left them in there for 24+ hours). I don’t understand grown adults behaving like that
