Disney has it’s own island in the Bahamas – of course! It’s named Castaway Cay (pronounced “key”) and depending on your cruise, you might visit it once or twice. It’s a fun port of call on this relaxing vacation. Here are the highlights:
Free beach wheel chairs and strollers available at Castaway Cay.
Accessibility
There are wide, paved pathways to every destination on the island, and a tram connecting main areas that is wheelchair and scooter accessible. Free beach wheelchairs and strollers are available, I saw one person’s scooter being charged at a bar, so no worries about low batteries.
