Welcome aboard, Sheila! Congratulations on booking your very first sailing with Disney Cruise Line! I'm really excited for your family to set sail! I remember my family's first cruise with Captain Mickey. Everything was so new and magical, with moment after moment of creating special memories! From the second we stepped onto the ship in the atrium as the Cast Members announced our name and applauded our arrival, we knew that a Disney cruise was extra special and truly offered
something for everyone! I can't wait for you to experience the same!
Disney's private island, Castaway Cay, is one of our favorite spots in the world. The private island just for guests of Disney Cruise Line is such a paradise with so many activities and events included all day long. There are not lockers on the island, but we just scope out a "home base" of sorts for the day on Family Beach and set up there. With plenty of chairs and umbrellas for everyone on the beach, it's not hard to find a great spot. I don't leave anything valuable just sitting out, but we've never had a problem leaving our bag and towels at our spot while we swim or take a thrilling slide down Pelican Plunge. I keep my valuables like phone and camera with me when we wander the island to do a little exploring or bike riding. It's really an amazing place with so much to offer, Sheila!
Have a wonderful time planning over this next year, and stop back if you have other questions before you set sail!
