Hi Michele!
Happy to see you at the starting line here at planDisney as you begin the race to your Disney cruise. Even better, you will be visiting my favorite island paradise,
Castaway Cay! I’m so happy to hEAR you’ll be soaking up the sun on Disney’s private island.
The Castaway Cay 5K is a great way to get going early and make the most of your time on the island. You are not imagining things either: there was a Premium Package offered! Along with the complimentary race sign-up and completion medal, the Castaway Cay 5K Premium Package included an exclusive cinch sack, water bottle, and hat. This package was only available when pre-booked online ahead of the sailing. The items were then delivered to your stateroom on the second day of your voyage (in advance of the Castaway Cay day). The Castaway Cay 5K Premium Package was last priced at $59.99.
To register for the Premium Package, you would select the package when you are making your onboard reservations and
Port Adventure selections once your cruise is paid in full and your
advance booking window opens. You’ll find it under the Onboard Fun tab on your Castaway Cay day. Once the Premium Package was added, it showed up in the Guest’s list of activities for the day at Castaway Cay.
Once you are finished with the race, be sure to take some time to rest and relax on the beach! Besides the Castaway Cay 5K, some of my other favorite active experiences include watersliding at Pelican Plunge, snorkeling on Castaway Family Beach, and biking around the island. Whatever your plans are, scroll to the bottom of this link to find the
Castaway Cay map and get a lay of the land in advance.
Run back to planDisney if you need additional planning advice, Michele. We'd love to SEA ya real soon!
