Theme parks stressing you out? Disney’s Castaway Cay is the antidote. Imagine this: warm sand between your toes, the sound of waves, and zero rush to squeeze in every ride. This private Bahamian island is pure beachy bliss, with a touch of that Disney magic.
Ready to get active? Snorkel in search of hidden shipwrecks, rent a bike for a breezy ride, or try your hand at kayaking. Need a serious chill-out session? Serenity Bay awaits – it’s the adults-only zone for massages and some well-earned quiet time.
Insider Tip: Pelican Plunge isn’t just about water slides (though they’re cool too). Climb to the top of that floating platform for an awesome 360-degree view of the island and your ship. It’s the perfect spot for those “wish you were here” vacation photos.

What is the dark history of Castaway Cay?
Castaway Cay, formerly known as Gorda Cay, has a dark history centered around drug smuggling in the 1980s. The island was used by American drug smuggler Frank Barber, who operated a drug empire there, rented the airstrip to other smugglers, and was involved in a major cocaine bust worth $100 million in 1983. Residents were terrorized by armed men, and the island became off-limits to locals until Disney leased it in the 1990s and redeveloped it as a private cruise destination.
Does Disney own all of Castaway Cay?
Castaway Cay is a private Bahamian island operated exclusively by Disney Cruise Line under a 99-year lease from the Bahamian government, expiring in 2096. Disney does not own the land outright but controls all guest operations and development on the island through this long-term lease. Only Disney cruise guests and staff have access to its facilities and beaches.
