    Can we take our own snorkel gear?

    Ahoy, Michelle! Welcome to planDisney, and thanks for bringing this question to us. You must be a master packer! Now, I can plan the heck out of a Disney trip. I happen to have six trips planned between now and January! Still, not sure I could pull off the feat of packing all the essentials, plus the snorkel gear. I’m impressed!

    Yes, you can pack the snorkel gear, including fins, masks, and snorkels, to enjoy at any ports of call, especially Castaway or Lookout Cay. I should clarify that you are not allowed to use the snorkel gear in any of the pools on board the ship. Keep the gear stowed until you reach the port. 

    If you are stopping at Castaway Cay or Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point, get ready for the time of your life! You’ll probably want to head to Family Beach and Snorkel Lagoon to get good use of the gear you packed. Be sure to grab a life vest before heading out to the two snorkeling trails to see the underwater world and all its hidden magic!

    Michelle, I hope you and your family have a magical voyage. If you have any more questions as you approach your embarkation day, don’t hesitate to stop back by planDisney!

    I hope you have a magical day!
