Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Tina!
I am beyond thrilled to hear that you and your pirate crew will be setting off on your Disney Cruise in just two short days! I wish I could be joining you and heading to my favorite home away from home,
Castaway Cay.
When traveling with pirates-in-training, a plastic shovel and pail is a must when searching for buried treasure! Neither of these items are on
Disney Cruise Lines Prohibited Items list, so they are safe to add to your
packing list and carry on to Castaway Cay. If you don't want these items to take up space in your luggage, sand toys are available for purchase on the island at Buy the Seashore.
It is also good to know that you do not need to pack your own beach towels, as these will be provided to you as you debark the ship. I learned this lesson the hard way on our first cruise! Talk about saving space in your suitcase!
There is so much fun to be had at Castaway Cay! My kids LOVE to cool off at In Da Shade Game Pavilion. We didn't find this gem until our second visit. This covered shelter has oversized games like checkers and basketball for your family to get a little playtime in while taking a break from the sun. The pavilion is just past your lunchtime spot at Cookies BBQ. Be sure to check it out!
Enjoy making magical memories with your pirates! Bon voyage! Angie
