Creator's Key Takeaways

We've now visited the island three times with varying degrees of success due to weather.

We'd really recommend this and we'll definitely be doing it again next time we visit this island.

It's a very sheltered bay with very calm waters and a lovely spot to spend a beach day.

Just be prepared that it doesn't always go this way.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Book activities as soon as your window opens, as they book up fast.
βœ“Get off the ship early to secure your ideal spot on the beach.
βœ“Check the Disney Cruise Line app for kids' activities on the island.
βœ“Pre-order allergy-friendly food to ensure it's pre-prepared.
βœ“Watch out for birds that may try to steal your food.

Weather may ruin the day β€” Be prepared that it doesn't always go as planned; previous visits were washouts due to rain.
Activities book up fast β€” Plan ahead and have backup options, especially for cabanas which are hard to get.
