More Magic at Castaway Cay – Enhancements at Disney Cruise Line’s Private Island
Disney’s private island paradise, Castaway Cay, is getting an extra dose of pixie dust! New enhancements include an expanded family beach, new water features and play areas, private beach cabanas and more. Completion is scheduled for summer 2010.
Castaway Cay is consistently rated by Disney Cruise Line® Guests as their favorite port of call – the ultimate private island escape for adventure, relaxation and quality time with family.
Expanded Family Beach
- This popular area is being extended by more than 700 feet so that guests have more room to enjoy the pristine white sand, relax under an umbrella or take a dip in the warm, azure waters of the lagoon.
- As an added convenience, the area also will include a new family lunch-buffet location, a new beach bar, and additional beach rental and merchandise locations.
New Water Areas
- Guests can slide, splash and plunge at a new water feature called Pelican Plunge. The 2,400-square-foot floating platform, located within swimming distance of shore, features two corkscrew water slides.
- A new water play area called Spring-a-Leak lets parents and kids cool off. There’s also a new water play area just for the youngsters at Scuttle’s Cove.
New Beach Cabanas
- Guests can have a little piece of paradise all to themselves at one of 20 new private cabanas. The premium rental cabanas provide the privacy and luxury of a deluxe beach retreat with an option to add the personalized service of a cabana host.
- Most private cabanas are located on the far side of the Family Beach, but a handful of private cabanas are situated on Serenity Bay Beach, exclusively for adults.
