Creator's Key Takeaways

We are back from two visits to Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point.

Disney's Lookout key is exactly that in fact we think the water and beaches are much nicer on Lookout key than its sister Island cway key.

The flies were a big issue near the food stations as I already mentioned making it difficult to eat lunch without constantly swatting these insects away.

Honestly there's really nothing that would lead us to pick an itinerary calling and Lookout key over one in caway key.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated and save walking trips.
Check the algae-friendly menu if you have allergies and arrange with your waiter ahead of time.
Plan for the long walk from the ship to the island, as there is no shade or benches along the way.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Long walk from ship to islandPrepare for a hike of about 12,200 steps or half a mile; those with accessibility needs can request a transfer, but the service is limited.
Lack of shade and seatingBring sun protection and be prepared to stand or walk, as there is no shade or benches along the way or near tram stops.
Cost of extrasMany activities are free, but alcoholic drinks, coffee, smoothies, cabanas, and excursions cost extra; plan your budget accordingly.
