Ahoy, Amanda! Welcome to planDisney!
It sounds like you’ve got your excursions booked for your upcoming sailing. How exciting! It won’t be much longer now.
Disney Castaway Cay is my favourite Port of Call when sailing with
Disney Cruise Line. There is so much to see and do!
My family and I just did the
Castaway Ray's Stingray Adventure on our sailing in November 2025. It was such a fun experience! My kids had a blast feeding the stingrays and then getting to swim with them afterwards. It was the highlight of the day for us.
To answer your question, Amanda, guests who purchase either package will be grouped together based on their chosen return time. When guests purchase the Castaway Ray's Stingray Adventure or the
Extreme Getaway Package, they choose a return time for their experience. Spots are limited for each time slot, and regardless of which package was purchased, once spots fill up for a certain time slot, that time will no longer be available.
Within the larger group, you are separated into smaller groups to feed the stingrays. So it’s an even more intimate experience once you break off into the smaller groups. We did not feel like the experience was crowded at all, and there was lots of space for us to interact with and explore the enclosure!
We also love Pelican Plunge. The waterslides are so fun! And if you’re feeling like a morning workout, you can take part in the Disney Castaway Cay 5K. Once you complete it, you’ll be rewarded with an exclusive Disney Castaway Cay 5K medal for your efforts. After that, you can indulge in some soft-serve ice cream at Cookie’s BBQ or Cookie’s Too BBQ!
If you have any other questions as you continue to plan your magical sailing, Amanda, please don’t hesitate to come back and see us here at
