After sailing a five-night Disney Fantasy itinerary that stopped at both Castaway Cay and Lookout Cay on back-to-back days, she changed her answer — and her reasoning comes down to a $1,000 cabana and a free beach day that delivered just as much. She's back to break down both islands, the Disney Fantasy, and a multi-generational trip with her parents. In this episode: Why the Mickey and Minnie's Cove Cabana won them over instead of the Sandcastle cabana The Lookout Cay rocks hike to a hidden view of the ship, and the water shoes you need to do it Bringing grandparents on their first Dream-class ship and first time through Disney's Terminal 8 Finding adult game shows in The Tube and family trivia in the D Lounge after five cruises of skipping them Palo brunch favorites, the football-sized calzone, and why they book it on a port day instead of the last day The case for not over-planning: two booked tastings missed, and no regrets Pull quote (Meghan): \"You could almost argue that Lookout without a cabana was just as good of a day as Castaway with a cabana. And one cost us $1,000 and one cost us nothing.\" DCL Magazine — use promo code DCLDUO for 10 percent off: DCL Magazine Stay Connected with the DCL Duo:Website | Instagram | Facebook | Facebook Group We're Ranked as a Top Podcast by Feedspot:Top 30 Disney Cruise Line Podcasts (No. 1) | Top 20 Cruise Podcasts (No. 2) | Top Disney Podcasts (No. 4) | Top 20 Disney Cruise Line Influencers (No. 12) The views expressed in this podcast are our own and do not reflect the views of the Walt Disney Company, Disney Cruise Line or any other travel provider discussed or mentioned.","meta_description":"Two years ago, Meghan told us Castaway Cay was her favorite island.
