    Castaway Cay bike rentals. Our son is 11 years old and autistic. He cannot pedal a bike. Therefore do any bikes have two seats that my child can sit on while a parent pedals. Or would he be too big for a child bike if any with handle that parent can push.

    Hello Allyson,

    Welcome aboard planDisney again! Thanks for trusting us with your Disney Cruise Line planning questions. 

    You and your family are in for a wonderful time enjoying Disney Castaway Cay no matter which activity you choose. The bicycles available for rent are standard 2-wheel bikes. There are a limited number of bikes with child seats attached. These child seats are recommended for children up to 40 pounds. There are child-size bikes, sizes 16" and 20", and the 16" bikes have training wheels attached. So, while I'm not sure if one of these bikes would work for your son, I hope one will. Please speak with the Crew Member at Goofy's Sandlot Bike Rentals (at the far end of Family Beach), to discuss your options.

    Allyson, depending on your son's mobility level, and if your son is comfortable and mobile in the water, perhaps you could consider an Aqua Trike Rental. The aqua trike allows two people to sit next to each other and one or both passengers can peddle the trike. 

    You will need to book the Bicycle Rentals (C04) Port Adventure and the Aqua Trike Rental before arriving at Castaway Cay. You can book this activity once your Onboard Booking Activities Window opens or at the Port Adventures desk onboard the ship. Waiting to book on the ship may allow you time to ask Crew Members about which adventure is best for your family.

    Did you know that Disney Cruise Line offers services for Guests with autism to make the cruise experience more enjoyable? If you have specific questions or concerns, please call or email Special Services, and a Cast Member will be glad to assist you. I encourage you to see the Information for Guests with Autism Spectrum Disorder document for other useful information.

    Allyson, I hope this information is helpful as you continue to plan your vacation. Sail by again with other questions you may have; we are here to help!

    Wishing you many magical memories,
    Shannon

Hi! I'm a dreamer and doer who loves exploring the big blue world! My love for Disney began at Walt Disney World Resort and after my first Disney Cruise Line vacation I was hooked. I especially enjoy the ships' adult-exclusive spaces and activities while experiencing the magic only Disney can create. A Land and Sea vacation combining an action-packed Walt Disney World Resort visit and a relaxing Disney Cruise Line voyage is my favorite way to do Disney. I can't wait to help you create your magical memories! Learn More About Shannon
