Hi Shawn,
Welcome to planDisney! I'm so glad you sailed by.
It sounds like you are interested in learning more about the Castaway Cay 5k on
Disney Castaway Cay. It is one of my favorite activities when I sail to this little slice of paradise! The good news is you do not need to register ahead of time and you can run (or walk) at your leisure and at your own pace. I usually get off the ship when disembarkation begins so I can enjoy the run during the coolest part of the day. The course is well-marked and there is usually a water stop, but I often bring my own water. After the run, stop by the bike rental stand and let the Crew Member know you completed the 5k and you will be rewarded with a fun medal (subject to availability).
After you've enjoyed your run, there is so much to do on Castaway Cay. I highly recommend taking a ride on Pelican Plunge or
renting a float or tube and relaxing in the gorgeous turquoise water. If you want to treat yourself to a delicious adult beverage, visit Heads Up Bar. It is one of the best places for a picture with the lovely ship in the background. And don't forget, a great beach-friendly lunch is available on the island, including self-serve ice cream.
I hope this information is helpful as you plan, Shawn. Let us know if you need other tips for making the most of your
Disney Cruise Line vacation!
Wishing you many magical memories,
Shannon
