    Hi! Our friends just returned from Castaway Cay and they told us they were told they are not allowed to use their own snorkeling gear. All the answers I've read here say we are allowed to bring our own. Can you please confirm if we can bring our own?

    Ahoy there, Sonia! Welcome aboard planDisney! I see you and your crew are arriving in just a few days, so I'll dispense with the pleasantries and get right to weighing anchor! 

    I was surprised to hear that your friends were under the impression they couldn't use their own snorkeling gear while at Disney Castaway Cay! In my experience, we've always been able to do so as well, so I sailed over to chat with a crew member to confirm. 

    I have good news: while snorkeling at the snorkeling lagoon, Guests are allowed to use their own snorkeling gear! The only requirement is each guest MUST wear a yellow snorkeling vest, available at the gear rental locations. Guests using their own gear will not be charged for the use of the vest and can use them at any point throughout their day at Disney Castaway Cay!

    Hopefully, that clears up any confusion and marks a shiny new "X" on your map, Sonia! Have a great time visiting all the exciting sights "under the sea" while you search for sunken treasure! Thank you so much for your question, and if you have any others as you check the last-minute to-dos off your list, please drop us another line here at planDisney

    Happy Snorkeling!
