Hey there Candace and welcome to planDisney. Can you believe, in just over two months, you will be at Disney Castaway Cay: the "practically perfect in every way" paradise where you will be splashing around in beautiful water and burying your feet in the sand in two months?
This is the most up-to-date information related to Disney Castaway Cay 5K minimum age.
- The Disney Castaway Cay 5K is an activity available for Guests 10 years of age and above. For Guest’s safety, baby joggers, strollers, baby carriers, baby backpacks, inline skates, motorized scooters, bicycles, skateboards, canes, crutches, walkers, walking sticks, and animals of any kind are prohibited from the course. Please know that Guests who violate the above rules will be asked to leave the course.
We always have a member(s) of our party who do not run the 5K every time we drop anchor on Disney Castaway Cay. The person(s) not running go out early with the runners and get beach chairs, hopefully near umbrellas, as well as some refreshments. We decide ahead of time where on the beach we want to meet and once the runners complete the race and get their special medals, they meet us at the chairs. Afterward, we head out for a Pelican Plunge, a ride on
Aqua Trikes, or a bite at Cookie's BBQ.
planDisney Pro Tip: For the 5k people, running down the airstrip can be a blast furnace depending on the time of day and the month. The earlier you disembark your
Disney Cruise Line ship for the day at Disney Castaway Cay, the cooler it is, and the more spots for your family to choose from on the beach.
Candace, close your eyes. Imagine that line where the sky meets the sea... it calls you. You will have the best time. Please
write me back directly with any follow-up questions.
Enjoy making many Magical Memories on the High Seas.
