Why this guide exists
Disney's private island, planned the smart way
Castaway Cay is Disney Cruise Line's private island in the Bahamas, split between a lively family beach with bike rentals and water slides, and Serenity Bay, an adults-only beach at the far end of the island. Getting the layout right on arrival makes a real difference in a port day that is otherwise tightly scheduled around Disney's embarkation and departure times.
The Smarty Ports Castaway Cay guide is a self-guided plan timed to your ship's actual arrival and all-aboard time, covering which beach to head to first, whether bike or tram rental is worth it, and how to fit in the Stingray Adventure. For current, specific pricing and booking links, the guide links you straight to the vetted recommendations on smartyports.com.
