    I have a reservation for a cabana on Castaway Cay that I would like to pay for with gift cards. Is it possible to do that? Thank you!

    Hi, Andrea!

    Thanks for sailing by planDisney! It looks like you are going to be sailing real soon, so the countdown to sail away is on! Make sure to complete your online check-in, select a port arrival time, and have your passports and travel documents ready as you will need to have them when you arrive at the cruise terminal.

    I am so happy to hear you were able to secure a cabana on Disney Castaway Cay! Lounging in a cabana is truly paradise as you watch the beautiful blue water and swaying palm trees. Don't forget that snorkel gear, floats, and bike rental are all included with your cabana rental so take time to enjoy it all. 

    The cost of your cabana will be added to your stateroom folio. Simply stop by Guest Services with your Disney Gift Cards and they will add them to your folio balance. Any remaining balance you have on your account at the end of your cruise will be added to your credit card on file. 

    Your cabana wristbands should be dropped off to your stateroom the day prior to arriving at Disney Castaway Cay. When exiting the ship, you will not need to take any towels as your cabana will have an ample supply. Ask your attendant if you need additional towels. Floats and tubes will be on the beach for your use and simply show your wristband at the bike rental if you want to take a spin around the island. Your cabana will have a mini-fridge with cold water, soft drinks, and chilled towels to cool off. Your magical cabana even includes sunscreen and beach toys. It is like your fairy godmother stopped by to stock the place!

    Enjoy your Castaway Cay day. The ship is usually cleared by about 8:30am so be ready to debark the ship and get your beach day started. Have fun as you dip your toes in the sand and make a splash in the water!
