Hi Tamela and welcome aboard planDisney!There is nothing quite like seeing where the sky meets the sea while on Disney Castaway Cay! Like you, I'm a fan of starting the day with the Castaway Cay 5k. Currently, Guests are invited to start the 5k at their leisure and disembark the ship at the same time as other guests. So, just listen for the “all-ashore” and you can head off the ship with the rest of your traveling party. I find this a great way to have a more leisurely start to your day in paradise and allows more time to enjoy your breakfast onboard the ship, secure your place on your preferred beach, or participate in one of the early morning Port Adventures.The Castaway Cay 5k begins at the Bike Rental hut near the Pelican Point tram stop, by Castaway Cay Family Beach, all of which are easily found on the map as you disembark the ship or ask a friendly Crew Member. You will see the “5k start line” and then just follow the signs and you will be running on the Castaway Runway in no time! The course finishes back at the Bike Rental hut. Once you finish, a Crew Member will award you a tropical-inspired, Mickey Mouse-approved medal!Now, Tamela, many of my planDisney pals share our enthusiasm for the Castaway Cay 5k and we have some magical tips for you:
I hope you have a swashbuckling day at Castaway Cay, Tamela. As you continue to plan your Disney Cruise Line vacation, please set sail back to us here at planDisney. We have all hands on deck to help you create magic on the high seas!Wishing you smooth sailing,Shannon
