Disney Cruise Line Castaway Cay

Disney’s Private Island: Castaway Cay

One of the biggest perks of a Disney Cruise is the daytime stop at Disney’s Private Island, Castaway Cay! This secluded island features bike trails, an adult beach, snorkeling, water fun, and all-day dining options. And if you’re on a Disney Cruise with Teens, or interested in what there is to do on Castaway Cay for Adults, then you’re in luck. Check out all our Favorite Things to Do on Castaway Cay. 

Disney’s Private Island: Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point

Available as part of some Disney Cruise sailing to the Caribbean, this new Disney Private Island is located at Eleuthera, Bahamas, and offers up market-style dining onshore, curated Bahamian arts and culture shops, port adventures, and a kid’s only area! Read our Lookout Cay Lighthouse Point Island Guide. 

Disney Cruise Castaway Cay 5K 

If you’re Disney Cruise Itinerary includes a stop at Castaway Cay, then be sure to check out the Castaway Cay 5K race! This self-paced 5K brings you through the trails on Castaway Cay and is perfect for both kids and adults. You can walk or run it, and simply have to sign in at the bike rental kiosk on the island to get started. Once you complete your 5K, you can collect your Castaway Cay 5K Medal to take home. We love this as a meaningful Free Disney Cruise Souvenir, and since it’s part of an experience, one that you should proudly display! While not an official runDisney marathon race, we still loved this activity as a way to see the island and give us a bit of a challenge. 

Disney Cruise Photo Tours

One of our favorite parts of any Disney Vacation is taking pictures. We love photography and can never resist the chance to capture something beautiful. And on a Disney Cruise beauty is everywhere! We’re pulling together photo tours of the boats we’ve traveled on so far so that you can get an idea of the magic that awaits on your next cruise! 

Specialty Cruises with Disney Cruise Line

As part of Disney Cruise Line’s specialty cruises, there are holiday cruises to enjoy during the holidays! So if you’re up for traveling during the holidays then be sure to check out our reviews on Disney Holiday Cruises. And if you’re trying to decide between Halloween or Christmas, read our post comparing the  Disney Halloween Cruise VS A Disney Christmas Cruise. 

Halloween on the High Seas: A Disney Halloween Cruise

Our love for Halloween doesn’t stop on land! And on a Disney Cruise, you get just as much fun as you would in the parks! From seasonal snacks to dining and activities, to special shows, costumes, and more. 

A Very Merrytime Cruise: A Disney Christmas Cruise

Christmas may be a stressful time to travel but you can get away on a Disney Cruise to stay out of the crowds. We recommend leaving early in the holiday season so you still have a cozy time at home with the family. Plus Christmas Cruises are cheaper earlier in the season. 

Disney Cruise Shirts

We’re always adding new Disney Cruise Shirts to our shop at Polka Dot Pixie Shop. So, we figured we do a roundup if you’re looking for souvenirs or a Disney Cruise reveal gift. Our shirts are Bella and Canvas, soft jersey, and unisex. We always recommend sizing up if you’re unsure. Take a look at our Disney Cruise Shirts for each ship so far.
