Hi there, Linda!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! You have an incredible trip coming up and I know you are getting excited as the date approaches! Before you know it you will be setting sail for an incredible time at sea enjoying the sun, sea and
multitude of activities available for you!
An itinerary with a stop at
Castaway Cay is always fun! It might be one of my favorite stops when sailing the Caribbean or Bahamas! Beautiful beaches, clear blue water and Mickey and friends sightings; what more could you want?!? But, before enjoying all that Castaway Cay has to offer, we love participating in the fun Castaway Cay 5K; it’s a great way to start your day and get to see parts of the island you might not normally venture to! It is so much fun and it is for runners and walkers alike! Everyone receives a finishers medal which is a great souvenir to show off your accomplishment! Whether you are a competitive runner or a leisurely walker, its fun for all and you will see all types of participants on the course!
Register for the 5K onboard with Guest Services and the morning of, you will meet as a group around 8 or 8:30AM and go as a group to the starting line for the event to begin. Once you complete your 5K and receive your medal you can head back to the ship or head directly to the beach to begin your day of sun, fun and relaxation! I definitely recommend participating in this event; the first few times I visited Castaway Cay, I did not participate and realize how much fun I missed out on! Plus, a way to get a workout in before enjoying that delicious lunch from Cookie’s BBQ! Remember to hydrate before and during and HAVE FUN!!
Happy Sailing!
