It has come to my attention took AFTER filming this video that the larger ships (dream/fantasy) do have sailings coming up to Lookout Cay fairly soon so please disregard me saying otherwise in the video. 😅
From what I noticed the older ships are sailing to Lookout Point while the newer ships are mainly sailing to Castaway Cay. I feel like that was to maintain interest on the older ships since they will sail somewhere new. There are a lot of sailings for the magic to both Disney properties next spring and summer, which is what we will be doing. We’ve only been to castaway once so we have a lot of visits to make up there.
Yup we’ll be going there on 11/10 Fantasy cruise! Can’t wait. May eat on the ship though 😂😂
@@lorid3112Us too!!! double dip to castaway and one visit to lighthouse point on the Fantasy. I am obsessed with the fly issue. I think we will have a big breakfast and then an early dinner on the ship!! I saw another vlog that shows the flies had ended up on the ship at Cabanas!!😮
Eeek I saw that about Cabana’s too! Hoping they sort it out before November. Haha. I’m really excited for this port. I’m happy to just hang out in a beach chair all day.
Doing Nov. 2nd on the Fantasy. Castaway Cay and Lookout Cay. Beats going to Nassau again.
On Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point,
A cruise ship docked, the crew disjoint.
We stepped ashore with dreams so high,
Till flies attacked our apple pie.
They swarmed our lunch with zest untamed,
Each bite a challenge, each sip maimed.
In salads, drinks, they took their stand,
A buzzing blight on tropic sand.
So here’s a tip for those who sail:
Pack fly swatters without fail.
For paradise can swiftly die,
When your main course learns to fly.
BEAUTIFUL POEM!! 🙏
This! 😂
Your poem painted a very graphic picture. Kudos to your rhyming skills. Hope Disney reads it and fixes it!🤞🏽🤞🏽👏🏽👏🏽
😂😂😂😂
A shame about the flies on the island. Hope the second visit worked out better! I feel like I'd be the type of person to bring a sun umbrella. That looks like it would be a brutal walk back to the ship.
OMG the flies in that one clip, I think they were worse on your cruise than videos I saw of the preview cruise!!!
Adrain, as a nurse and type 2 diabetic on Ozempic. I inject in my stomach. I use a clock face around your belly button. Each week I use a different spot. Pinch your skin (tents up) insert needle and dispense dose. Make sure you wait 5-10 seconds before withdrawing needle (this is to ensure all of dose has time to be injected). I find that it is less painful in this area. Even for my patients at work I always teach around bellybutton. The newbie nurses teach leg and arm. I’m older and I was always taught to use the stomach around bellybutton for insulin, heparin and Clexaine. Hope this little tip is helpful to you. Love Perth Western Australia 🇦🇺
Yeah our docs told us the belly would be the better spots for sure!!
I had to inject myself with insulin while pregnant. I just picked up Ozempic and starting Friday. The fat belly area is best. Doesn't hurt and really can't feel it. Good luck!
Just had a thought: could they be thinking it injects like epinephrin, in the thigh? Ouch.
Looks like a Beautiful ISLAND... Just need to get rid of those flies before I'll be booking a trip and eating there.. I would have to wait to eat back on the ship.
I’m going on the Treasure in September 2025 and at first my family was a bit disappointed that the treasure wasn’t going to Lookout Cay. Now seeing videos, I’m kinda glad I’m not going yet. I would like to see the island evolve a little more and Disney take into consideration guests complaints to make the island better. My friend was on the preview cruise on the Magic and she said was that there was a lot of concrete and open space but not much shade. I also noticed that the renderings were A LOT more colorful than what was actually built. I would also like to see Disney put a pool in at their private islands. I’m not a huge beach person. Won’t be able to get there for a few years so I hope it changes for the better
We went a month ago, trust me, you’re missing nothing. After a long walk in the heat and sun, you wait another 20 minutes at least, in the heat and sun, only to find all the seating, lounges and umbrellas gone unless your willing to walk 100 yards through sand to take a chance. We got stuck sitting on a bar stool for two hours…went back to the ship early. DVC member here.. .. this was a HORRIBLE experience. It was 45 minutes exactly from the time we left the ship, till the time we got stuck on barstools by the beach bar.
Island! The flies! Oh my!
Enjoyed this trip to the new island. Looking forward to your day 2 recap of Lookout Cay. Those flies were something else. Wow
Appreciate your review of the “island.” We are going in January and hope they have worked some of the kinks out on Lookout. The video gives Busch Gardens vibes to me…
I'm hoping the island will look a lot better once the trees and other vegetation grow in. That will likely help with the insect problem as well by giving them another source of food than *our* food 😂 I think some of the things will iron out by themselves but I think Disney rushed this and now have to listen to guests when it comes to correcting the fallout
You mentioned in your video that bigger ships won't be going to the new island, but we just booked The Fantasy for a 6-night at the end of October & it includes one day there, 2 @ Castaway, & 1 at Nassau. I'm hoping some of the kinks will be worked out by then, as I hear the beaches are beautiful. Thanks for the informative Fantasy series as a whole. We just got off The Wonder & loved it!
Honestly, we may wait to visit the new ISLAND. Although we love everything Disney, I’m sure there is still more to come. Thank you! Excited to see your next videos.
The water and the beach is truly breathtaking. But until they provide more shade and the nauseating fly situation is resolved, we won’t go. Hopefully it’s addressed soon
Island. I’m not going to lie-we have changed our next cruise itinerary so that we will not be going to Lighthouse Cay this morning. The flies alone-I wanted to 🤢. I am a nurse-no.dang.way.
We love Castaway Cay so we will head there instead.
Thank you for showing ALL aspects so we can be informed!
It has changed my mind to I don't think its worth $$$.
I’ll be changing mine if things don’t improve 🤷🏻♀️
I love Disney but it seems like the opening was rushed 😢
Thanks for another awesome video Adrian. What I really love about what I love about watching your videos I feel like I’m on traveling with you guys and not in bed having to relearn how to walk again. As for the ISLAND it would be a pass for me right now. Can’t wait to see the next one! 😁
Island. We loved watching this video and can’t wait to see your upcoming full review of the island. I really appreciate your complete honesty. It will definitely help us decide where to cruise to next.
Worried about all the flies at the island.
I wanted to say how much I enjoy your videos. When I need something calm, enjoyable and makes me want to feel nostalgic about Disney and the other parks, I always look forward to your videos.
Island, seemed like they have alot of work to do. Thank you very much for sharing.
One thing I don’t understand is why they didn’t build a pool like Coco Cay. I feel Disney missed an opportunity to make Lookout Cay different than Castaway Cay. Feels like the same thing looks like the same island with the one exception you have to walk a mile in the heat with no shade. Very surprised they didn’t make it very different just like their Parks! Oh well
We were very tempted to try a cruise with this on the itinerary, but opted to wait just a little bit to let them work out some of the kinks and return to castaway. I think in a year this island will look absolutely beautiful once everything is grown in.
I was wondering how Lookout Cay was going to handle the crowd from the Fantasy, as it wasn't handling the Magic very well when we were there. Simply not enough tables for the lunch crowd. Let's not even discuss the flies.😑 You mentioned that the Fantasy will not be going there for the foreseeable future. However, we will be on the Dream in December, and it is scheduled for both Castaway Cay and Lookout Cay. I wish I could say we're looking forward to it. But after the first visit I'm not sure I want to go back. In any event, always love your vlogs!
We will be on the Fantasy Nov 10th sailing going to Lookout Cay, and have watched a few videos and hope they figure everything
Theres a reason why they call it "port" side. Use to be that ships would be steered by a long oar and the side it was on was the opposite side they would load from.
Loving the videos; Adrian & Kota! I’m also happy that you’re pairing up with Peter & Kitra. Excited for the vlogs & you honest opinions for Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point. I know so far; the biggest issues & complaints have been the “long” walk along the pier & the flies. Not sure I’ll ever cruise the East Coast sailings; as my disability limits a lot of how much I can travel without lying down. Plane rides from my home in San Diego would be too long; or adding extra expenses. So for now; my hope is to sail The Wonder in Spring 2026. Can’t wait to hear everyone’s take ; on “the island” 😊🏝️🏖️❤🚢
Loved the review of the Island !!
We are on the Fantasy in November for a 5 night cruise that is going to to Lookout Cay and Castway. I hoping they can get the flies 🪰 undercontrol 😯 Thanks for sharing 🤗♥️🚢😃
I can't wait to see the new Island! Your videos are so informative! I love how Nugget goes everywhere with Kota and he's wearing the band!
@ThemeParkExpress love your videos! Going on our first DCL vacation on the Magic next year in April! Question for you- did you guys ever post the link to the pattern Koda uses for her crochet ducks? I was looking for that! Thanks!
We enjoyed the video exploring the island. We’re set to visit on the fantasy in November and are eager to check out
Lookout island and castaway on the same trip.
We're on a Fantasy sailing to Lookout Cay in February, so the larger ships are definitely coming out there. But it looks like what they're doing is taking what would be a double-dip to Castaway Cay and turning one of those into a stop at Lookout Cay instead.
I think the bigger issue is that the island just isn't finished. I'm sure Disney will keep making improvements and additions over time, I'm just hoping the fly issue is sorted by our cruise next year.
Thanks for the heads up on the snorkeling. We have our own gear we'll bring.
Thank you for your honest review of Disney’s new ISLAND destination. We go in December. Wonder what changes by then!
Flies and food do not mix!! Like you, I wonder what their solution will be for the Island. We have booked the Magic for 2025 (Sept 5-10), going to Lookout Cay (and Castaway). Last year, we shared the Fantasy in September with your guys! Enjoy your Vlogs-we did make a Cameo appearance in one, lol. We are scheduled for the Fantasy this year as well, Sept 14-21. We can't wait! Blessing!
The walk to the ISLAND looks long and HOT! And the flies yuck!
We noticed on Castaway, the cabana taxi's will sometimes go above and beyond. When re-boarding the ship (albeit we went back early to shower before dinner so it wasn't as jammed up) our taxi dropped us off 2 steps from the ship, while others were getting dropped off at the tram by the family beach. Make that personal connection as early as possible and they'll take care of you.
We are not sailing to this ISLAND til next January on the WISH. Hope they have the flies worked out. Thanks for your video
I’m interested to see in your upcoming video of your second stop to the island and see how your perspective of the island has changed.
Ohh this was SO great! 💃🎊 No matter what ISLAND Disney decides to make a private destination out of , it will always be a magical experience. Thank you for sharing. 🫶😊💕
Hey! Good to see you on the Fantasy this trip. Thanks for your content as it's very informative.
Sincerely, the guy dressed as Rufio on pirate night.
Thank you for sharing ❤Island
Will be going to Lookout Cay this October on The Fantasy. Hoping the flies are under control by then! But I am looking forward to seeing everything!
Thanks for another interesting video of this part of the" Island". Looking forward to your opinion after your second day.
Also, make sure you are letting the alcohol dry before your injections as that may be why you are getting the stinging sensation from your injections :)
What a beautiful ship. The island🏝️ is so beautiful! Thank you, guys!
I’m very disappointed there are so many flies on the ISLAND. While the sand and water look extraordinarily inviting, I can’t get over the flies around the food.
Love the content! I definitely feel like DCL has a great opportunity either way the island… so far it might be a miss for me… but I’m interested to see how they will improve it over time
Adrian where’s that hat from? The hubby wanted one right away when he saw it! We will also be on the island in Nov for the triple dip (2 castaway 1 lighthouse stop), looks like some of my fellow cruisers are here too!
I can’t wait to see your review on Lookout Cay! I’m excited to visit the ISLAND in September!
Island I hope by the time I go next year they have taken care of the flys problem.
My family and I are heading to Lookout Cay on the Fantasy for their 10 day sailing in July. Makes sense now they wouldn’t bring the larger ships here. But nervous 😬 I hope some of these kinks are worked out by the time we sail. Thank you for sharing your experience!
One day I wish to visit an Island, there are many Islands in Hawaii that look really cool. Ohh! Maybe I’ll go and try some dole whip on one of those Islands. 🎉
Island - looks beautiful! Yes hope they can do something about the flies. :) Great video!
Adrian when you are doing the shot try rubbing the area a little harder and I usually pinch some of my skin and put the shot there. Hope this helps with the sting.
The Dream will be making regular stops at Lookout Cay. We are on the 11/18 five day that stops at both private islands. Just chiming in after your comment about LC not mean to accommodate the larger ships.
Great 'island' video, you covered a lot thank you and keep up the great work.
Island…Lookout Cay looks pretty but I’m not impressed I think the fly issue has completely turned me off☹️
Island life, I guess is fly life. Haha. As for your comment on bigger ships not going, not true. The Dream will be going. We're on a cruise next spring with a Castaway /Lookout double dip.
At the time of filming I didn’t realize this 😅
@@ThemeParkExpress how dare you not know every DCL itinerary 🤣
Excellent video - I always enjoy both your commentary and videography. You have a similar vacation vibe to my family 😊❤
Cool…….I just saw my user name post as a member on your vlog!!! 😊😊😊
I really enjoy your vlogs. I’ve cruised on DCL 9 times to date but still learn new things from watching your vlogs. Late cruise was during the Fall of 2018. Next cruise will be Fall of 2025 where my wife and I will be celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary and once that cruise is finished I will have received my platinum status.
😊😊😊
Loved watching the video! Great coverage of the ISLAND 😂
I will be on the fantasy for with a stop at Lookout Cay in October, really hoping they sory out the fly and seating problems by then.
I’m excited to see how this ISLAND progresses. More tree growth & less flies.
Island!!!! Loving this series and thanks for sharing!
I still don’t understand why there are no benches on the walkway or shaded walkway what they have to do is make dining inside no one wants flays all around them and in their food
So they can get a Sysco food truck to the ship, but they can’t get a trolley to haul people back and forth ? 🤔🧐
The Fantasy is going there on November 10-16 Very Merrytime cruise.
Island!!!
Going to LC@LHP in Jan, on the Fantasy… hoping for a good time!! 😅
Lookout Cay looks amazing. The trees will grow in time providing more shade. Honestly though, I've been to many islands in my travels and shade is not all that common, except in town. I really like the raised walking platforms. I've been to that island a few times but at Princess Cays (also amazing) and while not as bad as Disney's area, there are a few more flies there than alt the other islands I've been to. Not sure why everyone is complaining about the half mile pier walk. Aren't most people watching this theme park fans? You walk A LOT more at a Disney park each day and no one complains about that.
Lord of the Flies, Lookout Cay version. Didn’t understand point of so much ISLAND travel.
I enjoyed watching your day on the island!
As a Type 1 Diabetic I feel your pain, I used to take multiple shots of insulin per day. I'm currently on an insulin pump, so I can go as much as 3 days without stabbing myself now.
That’s what I’m hearing is there problems on that island… but I’ve been waiting for yours n kodas pov
Can't wait to see your opinion video for the island
I checked Google Maps to see where this is at, geography wise. Was surprised to see reviews for that beach already....and they were all reviews from locals and visitors to the island who used to go to that beach on their non-Disney-Cruise island vacations. They're grieving for the loss of what most of them called an island paradise and cursing at Disney for ruining one of the best beaches they'd ever been to. Made me shake my head. Feels like Disney took advantage of the local govt (they did a lot of infrastructure development on that end of the island) to set down their latest money grab. Be better, Disney!
It is crazy people would pay for this. The water is pretty, but everything else seems dismal.
There doesn't seem to be enough beach loungers on the beach. So if you miss out not
being first ones out you have to sit behind that grassy dune/hill? Or if you didn't pay the
pricey cabana cost?
From what we saw yes you miss out if you’re not the first off. Your view will be the dune. And no we did not pay for the cabana. We were invited by a family of viewers to enjoy and tour it
@@ThemeParkExpress Thank you for your video. It was one of the best and very thorough and clear. Your video of DCL Alaska is why we booked cruise there!
The new island looks like it will be amazing!! Once the plant life grows in and they work out the kinks. Can’t wait to one day visit!!
You said something about the fantasy not going to lighthouse, I’m going on a cruise in feb on the fantasy that stops at castaway and lighthouse
Island… I was looking for information for the best beach to go to that has the chairs/umbrellas on the beach so I can veg out while my family is swimming. Which beach was that? Looking forward to your next video 😊
There are 4 and 5 night Fantasy Cruises in Feb. I had a couple reserved.
We're on a cruise that stops here in January on the Fantasy. I'm legit debating on switching to a different cruise....
try letting the alcohol dry before you inject i find it helps
The Island looks amazing.
I love islands!
I’d like to know your thoughts on dangers of those giant rocks…if they are reefs they look dead or will be .
Island ❤
Disney needs to look at what the other cruises are doing with their islands and realize they fell way behind
What size is the biggest Disney carries for the sun shirts? Either cruises or water parks?
Island I can’t wait to go. I’m going in January next year.
That snorkeling water was way too shallow
Will be visiting the ISLAND in January on the Fantasy!
ISLAND. We are on the Marvel Day at Sea cruise in January with a stop at Lookout Cay. My adult son has autism and I’m not looking forward to Lookout Cay because of all the reviews.
Came here to say that is it bad I’m not impressed with this new island. I’m not excited to want to book a cruise here. There definitely needs to be some stuff fixed. Do you think it’s because Disney is sharing the island with the Bahamas government and not theirs 100% is why it’s lacking in more Disney magic? Also I can understand not wanting to disrupt the ecosystem as much they can is maybe why there’s not much to see with snorkeling?
Island looks substandard
MY FAMILY WAS IN THE VID at 7:22 I didn't know there was a youtuber there!
ISLAND!
Thanks for the info. Will be visiting the "Island" in Sept.
Everyone passing you was waving at the camera in front of Disney Tings. I thought that was funny
Island
I dont think i can get my husband to go to this island and i admit not a fan of it either
The island looks ok but I’ll wait to hear your second visit before I make a decision
