Greetings, and welcome to
planDisney, Lisa!
Thank you for consulting planDisney, I appreciate your patience and would be honored to assist you further.
Lisa, I completely understand your great anticipation to arrive at beautiful
Disney Castaway Cay and participate in the Castaway Cay 5K. In fact, we will be sailing later in October and my husband plans on the Castaway Cay 5K, so in preparation, I’ve been reading Disney Cruise Line’s – Know Before You Sail resource. It states that medals will be presented upon completion, however, in my opinion, as a person who worries about things like this, I feel that since the 5K at this time, is available throughout the day, with no set time for a start in a group-like format, and with no required registration, that more Guests may opt into the 5K, therefore, there may be the possibility that medals may run out. This is my brain working overtime. My best advice would be for you to consider beginning your 5K as early as possible. And that's what I'm going to suggest my husband does - good luck to me waking him up!
In summation,
Disney Cruise Line’s – Know Before You Go – Port Adventures – 5K Race, states, “Though the 5K group race on Disney Castaway Cay has been temporarily paused, Guests can still run the race on their own (no registration required) while practicing physical distancing. All participants who complete the 5K run will receive a finishing medallion. Information on where and when Guests can pick up their medals will be made available via the Disney Cruise Line Navigator app.” This is subject to change.
Lisa, if you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact
Disney Cruise Line for further support because as a fellow Guest, I am not privy to the exact details regarding the availability of medals, I apologize that I cannot give you a guarantee.
Kindly refer to
Disney Cruise Line’s – Know Before You Sail for important steps that will be required for your arrival at the port. Please refer to this resource often as information may change.
Tips:Complete your Online Check-In 30-days before your sail date. You will need to fill out important documents and select a port arrival time regardless of your
Castaway Club membership status. As well, you should ensure that you have reserved your premium activities to enhance your voyage.
Lisa, I hope that you enjoy your Castaway Cay 5K and your medal – I have seen many photos of the medals recently online and they are beautiful!
See Ya Real Soon!Jacqueline
