    My 13 year child wants to do parasailing at Castaway Cay. I read that you need to be 96 pounds in weight minimum. If my child is under this 96 but riding tandem with an adult so combined weight it be over 96 is this allowed.

    Hi, Allyson!

    It is good to hear from you again! I hope you are getting excited for your upcoming cruise. You are getting close to your sail date, so I hope you have started packing. Don't forget plenty of cruise-casual clothes, swimsuits, sunscreen, and of course your Mickey Mouse ears!

    Per the website, guests must be a minimum of 90 pounds for the Parasailing adventure. The tandem weight may not exceed 375 pounds. Because safety is always the number one priority, they will be strict on the weight requirements. Please read through all the information provided regarding Parasailing at Castaway Cay

    If your child does not meet the weight requirements, there are so many other adventures that might be fun! Enjoy Kayaking, Float & Tube rentals, or my favorite: Bike Rentals. There is so much to do on Castaway Cay so your day will be filled with never ending magic. 

    When debarking the ship for your beach day, remember to take a photo ID and your Key to the World Cards (each guest will need their card to exit and re-board the ship). Towels will be available as you are welcomed onto this fabulous tropical island. Lunch will be provided at Cookies BBQ so bring your appetite. Try the potato salad - it is my favorite part of this yummy beach buffet. 

    Allyson, let the countdown to your magical cruise begin! Our planDisney team will be here if you have any last-minute questions and stop by Guest Services once onboard if you need any assistance. Have an amazing cruise with Captains Mickey and Minnie!
