New Tower on Castaway Cay Island on Disney Cruise

If you are up for a little adventure on your Disney Cruise vacation, consider renting bikes or hiking up to the new Tower on the Castaway Cay Island. During the 3-Night, 4-Night and 7-Night Cruises, you make a stop at the Disney owned and operated island called Castaway Cay. This is always my favorite stop on the itinerary. It is Disney World, but in the Bahamas! Disney's own island which the superior service, Children Activities, Disney Characters, and loads of fun. During my last cruise, we decided to hike to the new Tower that gives and incredible view of the whole island. Here are some of the pictures from this adventure.

Extend your Disney World Vacation with a Disney Cruise

When planning your vacation to Disney World, you may want to consider extending your vacation with a relaxing 3-Night or 4-Night Disney Cruise. This is a wonderful way to end your Disney vacation. The Disney Cruises are the ultimate in relaxation and fun. Your meals and activities are pre-paid, so you do have to worry about money during your cruise. Disney offers children activities (camp) all day from early morning until midnight. The children activities are some of the best activities for kids anywhere. Your kids can enjoy character meet and greets, parties, playtimes, science experiments, and so much more. Each camp is divided by kids ages, so the activities are specialized to their needs and wants.

With these activities for kids, this leaves some relaxation time for the parents. The adults can enjoy the adult pool area, spa treatments, or activities just for you like dance lessons, wine tastings, and more. In the evening hours, the family can come together for entertainment like Broadway style shows, movies in the Buena Vista Theater, or other family fun activities like deck parties or family games.

Disney Cruise vacations are the ultimate way to extend the “Disney magic” for the kids and add some relaxation for the adults. Contact us for more information about a Disney Cruise vacation.
