Welcome aboard, Kathryn! January is such a great time to escape from the cold Michigan winter and head south to the warm waters of the Bahamas for a vacation with Disney Cruise Line! My family and I have sailed many times in the winter and it's simply our favorite time of year to head out to sea with Captain Mickey!
Castaway Cay is one of my favorite beaches in the world, and once you arrive, I think you'll agree! With so much included in the cost of your cruise, you'll enjoy a relaxing and also adventurous day on Disney's private beautiful island! Renting bikes to explore the island's bike paths is such a great way to spend some time. You can either book the
bike rentals as a Port Adventure ahead of time, or simply walk up to the rental booth on the beach that day and rent bikes then, the cost is the same. Rows and rows of different styled bikes will greet you at the bike rental spot. There are a variety of sizes for men, women, and children, and some of the kids' bikes even have training wheels. Child seats are also available on some of the adult bikes, and helmets of various sizes are there too. With all of those options, your little guy will certainly get to be included in the fun of riding!
When you head out, be sure to make the entire bike loop, but stop halfway through and climb to the top of the observation tower. It boasts 360 degree views of the whole island, and makes for some great family photos! Then, ride to the end of the old air strip and turn right to ride out past Serenity Bay on the other side of the island, where there is another gorgeous photo stop at the very end of the path before you head back.
Have so much fun this winter when you enjoy your day at Disney's Castaway Cay, Kathryn!
