This summer, Disney cruisers are in for a double dose of fun when special 4- and 5-night cruises visit our private island in the Bahamas, Castaway Cay, not once, but twice!

With two days in paradise at Castaway Cay, plus a chance to swim with dolphins or visit the world-famous Atlantis in Nassau, Bahamas, these envy-worth sailings aboard the Disney Dream in June and July are an incredible option for your summer vacation. The 5-night voyages also include a bonus day at sea so Guests have even more time to soak up fun and relaxation aboard the ship.

What makes a visit to Castaway Cay so amazing? Our award-wining island was built with families in mind, just like our ships, with spaces uniquely designed for kids, adults and families. Everything your Clients need for a perfect day at the beach is included, like our all-you-care-to-eat buffet lunch, beach chairs, umbrellas, towels, hammocks and more. Whether you want to soak up the sun on the white sand, embark on a water adventure, explore the island on bike or all of the above, we’ve got them covered.

Things are heating up around Walt Disney World® Resort, quite literally, and one of the best ways to enjoy the beautiful weather is a fun and relaxing day at Disney Water Parks! This spring, we’re rolling out some new offerings that are sure to make your visit to Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon or Disney’s Blizzard Beach even more “cool” and magical.

Aside from signature attractions such as Summit Plummet, Crush ‘n’ Gusher and two relaxing lazy rivers, Disney Water Parks offer unique food and beverage options that you won’t want to miss. After a day of splashing around, they’ll also want to get their hands on the new menu items available this season.

You can chow down on the Blizzard Burger at Blizzard Beach, topped with cheddar and a sweet and smoky ham-jam on a pretzel bun, served with cole slaw and steak fries. There are also new plant-based rice bowls, and for dessert, chocolate-dipped key lime pie.

You know what goes perfect with those options? A milkshake! Choose from salted caramel, peppermint, chocolate, or vanilla.

Over at Typhoon Lagoon, munch on the guacamole flight with vegetable, pineapple bacon, and shrimp varieties, or enjoy a jerk chicken rice bowl or a plant-based bratwurst sandwich. And while you are relaxing in the sun, they’ll want to have a Blue Typhoon Colada or Tropical Storm in their hand. 

These are just some of the new food and beverage offerings available at Disney Water Parks.

And your day enjoying Typhoon Lagoon or Blizzard Beach just got more convenient, thanks to the new Splash Pack.

For the first time, Guests can bundle and save 20 percent by purchasing the Splash Pack, which includes select food entrées and dessert options, a refillable Disney Water Park mug and a Disney-themed towel to take home. Guests will be able to chose from “Lilo and Stitch,” “Toy Story,” “Finding Nemo” and of course, Mickey Mouse-themed towels as a souvenir from their fun-filled, water park day. Available March 26-May 4, 2019, the Splash Packs is $44 per person, plus tax. You can purchase this limited-time, convenient offering at Singapore Sal’s at Typhoon Lagoon or the Beach Haus at Blizzard Beach.

Now it’s easier – and yummier! – than ever to spend a day soaking up the sun at Disney Water Parks. 

It’s been nearly 100 years since the entity that is now The Walt Disney Company was founded and over 80 years since the studio began to produce theatrical length animated films. Thanks to consistent re-releases and the advent of home video and DVD, those movies have remained in regular circulation for that entire time, which means several generations have grown up with these great animated movies and have taken advice from many of them.
