Creator's Key Takeaways

If you want the pretty view of Castaway, you should be on the starboard side of the ship. So, when you're booking your rooms, book the starboard side.

I would forego the flippers personally. The second we stepped into the water, the sand was getting between the flippers and our feet, and it hurt really bad.

This lamb instantly made this meal the best meal of the trip so far. That's how good that lamb was. It was superb.

Things that we didn't get done on this trip are just things to look forward to for the next trip. Reasons to come back. Always look on the bright side.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Book a starboard side room if you want the best view of Castaway Cay.
โœ“Forego renting flippers for snorkeling as sand can get trapped inside and cause discomfort.
โœ“Bring regular goggles for snorkeling if you want to see fish without the bulk of a full mask.
โœ“Use Getaway Today with a referral name to receive onboard credit.

YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

Join us for Day 4 aboard the Disney Fantasy on our 5-Night Bahamas Cruise from Port Canaveral as we visit Disney Castaway Cay, experience Pirate Night, and watch fireworks at sea. We started the morning with breakfast at Cabanas before heading ashore to Castaway Cay, Disney Cruise Lineโ€™s private island in the Bahamas. For our day at Castaway Cay, we purchased the Castaway Family Getaway Package, which includes snorkel gear, bike rentals, and inner tubes. We started with snorkeling at Castaway Cay before grabbing lunch at Cookieโ€™s BBQ. After that, we spent more time exploring the island and completed the Castaway Cay 5K, including getting our medals at the finish. Unfortunately, heavy rain moved in before we could do much more, so we picked up Benjamin from the kids club and headed back aboard the Disney Fantasy. Once we were back on the ship, we got soft serve ice cream, played Disney cruise trivia, and saw the Kid Ace magic show in the Walt Disney Theatre. Then it was time for Pirate Night aboard the Disney Fantasy. The evening included Pirate Night deck party activities, the Pirate Night dinner menu, and fireworks at sea to end the night. This Disney Fantasy Day 4 vlog gives you a full look at Castaway Cay, the Castaway Family Getaway Package, the Castaway Cay 5K, Pirate Night, and what itโ€™s like to experience a Disney Cruise Line private island day with kids.
