Ahoy, Melissa!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! We are so glad you are hEAR! I'm thrilled your crew has booked a magical voyage with Captain Mickey that includes a stop at Disney's island paradise,
Castaway Cay! It is my absolute favorite port of call, and I'm sure your family is going to have an amazing experience when you visit real soon!
Since Serenity Bay is reserved for Guests 18 years or older, cabanas on this part of the island follow the same policy. My best advice is to continue to check online for a cabana to open up on the Castaway Family Beach. Guests can cancel up to three days prior to departure so check every few days because you never know when one might become available. I also know that you can get on a waitlist once aboard so stop by
Guest Services or the
Port Adventure Desk if you don't have any luck beforehand.
The good news is there are plenty of umbrellas, chaise lounges, beach chairs and shady spots on the Castaway Family Beach. We've visited Castaway Cay many times and have never had a problem finding the perfect spot to enjoy the sand between our toes and splashing around in the crystal blue water. It's always a highlight of our Disney Cruise vacation!
I'm hoping for some pixie dust for you, Melissa! Thank you for visiting the Disney Parks Moms Panel, and please let us know if you have any further questions!
Have a magical day!
Nancy
