Creator's Key Takeaways

I am currently at Disney's Castaway Cay, and I'm about to have a fantastic day.

Back in 2017, it was my first time at Disney's Castaway Cay, and I told my husband, 'Run. Run to get a spot on that beach.' And we did not need to.

If you want to sleep in, get some good breakfast, and then go out and enjoy your day on the beach is going to be my very first tip for you.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Don't rush off the ship immediately; enjoy breakfast or a morning swim first.

✓Have your camera or MagicBand ready upon disembarking for photo opportunities.

✓Listen to the tram stop announcements to ensure you get off at the correct beach.

✓Utilize the island kids clubs (Scuttle's Cove or In Da Shade) to allow for adult time.

✓Wait until the afternoon to take photos at the Mount Rushmore spot to avoid long lines.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Rushing to secure beach space — Take your time, have breakfast, and enjoy the ship amenities first; there is plenty of space.

Kids safety/swimming in the ocean at kids clubs — The counselors are the same as on the ship and they do water play, but they will not be going in the ocean.

Long lines for iconic photo spots — Wait until the afternoon to visit Mount Rushmore to avoid the morning crowds.
