Creator's Key Takeaways

Disney has their own PRIVATE ISLAND — filled with secrets, hidden gems, and TONS of interesting history.

Castaway Key is a Bahamian Island that was originally discovered by settlers back in 1783.

Serenenity Bay is the adult's only side of the island for guests 18 years and older.

The food on Castaway Key may not be your favorite.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Reserve snorkel equipment before your trip or bring your own.
✓Get a Bahamian stamp from your ship's Guest Services before mailing postcards.
✓Arrive early to meet characters and avoid long lines.
✓Take a towel at the entrance of Castaway Cay; it's your only complimentary shot.
✓Check the navigator app for character hours and activity schedules.
