I am so glad you got to visit Castaway Cay again with the family Chris. One thing that I found very interesting was the jamacan language they use to give those feelings. Thank you for continuing to provide me my Disney fix while also bringing joy through your videos. I suffer from anxiety and hearing these words of affirmation sprinkles beneficial positivity to my life. It's been an honor getting to be part of your family watching your journeys. Safe travels coming home!!
My mother, wife, and daughter are in the video riding the opposite way on the runway, and I was all over your dunns River Falls video. It is so fun re-living our cruise through your vlogs!
I'm so glad you and your mom got to go back and visit that beach! She reminds me of my mom and seeing you two together is so sweet. I actually brought my own mom to Disneyland for the first time last May and saw you and Miles at breakfast. I get major social anxiety and didn't want to interrupt, but if I had come up to you, I would have thanked you for the warmness and joy your videos bring. Your little messages you sprinkle in every video mean the world! And the tips helped me prepare for an unforgettable trip with my mom. I don't think we would have been able to see everything if it weren't for your UA-cam. You all are the best! 💗
Amanda, I’m with you about shaded beach places. People don’t realize how intense that sun is! Last thing you want is to get sunburned and be miserable the rest of your vacation !
I can’t wait to get there soon. I’m glad your mom made it. It broke my heart last time, when you all missed going there. Your mom is so precious. I hope she gets many more trips to Castaway Cay, and maybe one day, get that $20,000 Mickey diamond bracelet too (I remembered that from The Wish video).
Love that hat!! Castaway Cay is my wife's happy place. Our last Disney cruise was a five nighter that was supposed to go to Castaway Cay twice, but there was a tropical storm, so we only went once. Instead - we did donuts out in the ocean staying away from the storm (I have a funny screen shot of the 'path" our cruise took). Thought Disney Cruise Line would have done some sort of an adjustment, but nothing was provided. Castaway Cay is a great place to be.
I just wanted to comment. I have recently found your videos thanks to my boyfriend. I’m a CA native relocated to TX. Disney makes me so happy. And your videos are so wonderful and bring me so much joy. We love tuning in every night to watch what you posted. In a challenging year your kind words mean so much. Thank you for being such a wonderful human.
We had an amazing time at Castaway Cay 8 years ago. We even ran the 5k one morning. I have the medal still, I got some pins on that trip that I keep on it as a keepsake. The 99% humidity was insane to run it (we are California people).
Its great to see you and your family having fun together. Life is so short. Life life at its fullest day day by. Treat each day like its your last, because it may. Blessings!
Your comment / message to us, thank you for your kind and lovely words. You are right. People don’t hear that enough and you putting that out there is generous and thoughtful. ❤ Your content is wonderful.
These videos have me really excited. I'm going on the Fantasy in October and will be doing the Castaway Cay 5k. I've been wanting to see the course, and was a little disappointed you didn't do it, but your bike ride actually followed the 5k course, so wish fulfilled! Thank you so much for all your videos, I've been to Disneyland 3x and Disney World once in the last year and all trips have been enhanced by watching your videos ahead of time to plan, and I expect my Fantasy trip will also be better because of the previews you're currently posting. Best of luck to you and your family!
I did the CC 5k the same day PPP was there. I started my run at 9AM and 1.5-miles into the run, I was getting really hot as the sun was just beating down me, and had to take 2 water breaks. Do the run as soon as you get off the ship, because the weather will be cooler, and walk to the start/finish line (the walk will be your warm up). Make sure you talk to the guide about the 5k route or else you'll be doing a 4.5-mile run rather than a 3.1-mile run. Don't forget to buy Castaway Cay 5k merch.
I love your mom! So glad she got to go with you. I have tried and tried and my mom will not get on a cruise ship! 😩 I can’t wait to get back to Castaway! Just 50 days until our cruise. 🚢 Have you ever rented any of the water vehicles?
The ship looks so huge next to you standing on the pier. Of course it is massive but wow! The island seems very nice and lots of fun. Thank you so much for taking us all with you on the fun times you’re having with your family!
It looks fantastic…I would definitely be up early grab my beach spot and chill out.. The bikes looked fun….. My friend has been here,he said it was fabulous…..it is strange how you get tired doing nothing!! 👍🇬🇧
I have to point this out because I know it'll be right up Chris's alley. At 4:46, it's not "THE sells...and everything else" its "SHE sells...and everything else" because the sign originally said "She sells seashells" like the tongue twister but seashells is crossed out!
I am not sure about Disney cruises, but other cruise lines have discounted things going in the ship when the ship is in port. Went on the quick little three cruise from Los Angeles to Ensenada. Had no interest in Ensenada so stayed on ship and enjoyed a spa day for half price.
Just wanted to say that this probably the most helpful Castaway Cay video I have ever seen! We’re preparing for our first visit this April, and it’s hard to get a sense of layout from most cruise vlogs. So glad you guys finally made it!
What a fun day for your family. I've seen a few videos of Castaway Cay and it looks like a great way to getaway. A whole day of that would be too much for me in my current health situation but if I was about ten years younger I would love a day on that island. Totally would be riding a bike there and getting in the water. Lots to choose from and I learned some good tips from this. Thank you! 😊
👍As always, thank you for sharing. We are a huge family of disney fans, who have been to all the theme parks throughout the world and will continue to travel and support the brand. Even through and beyond all the politics that go on behind the doors of the House of the Mouse. We are a blessed family who've been able to sail on many different cruise lines multiple times throughout the decades 🛳. But we are very taken aback by how Underwhelming Disney's island is in comparison and contrast to other cruise lines island's like Royals Caribbean 🏝 and Norwegians cruise line 🏝. We feel Disney needs to up their game, as well as focus on plusesing the East Coast and West Coast Disneyland parks. The competition is fierce whether at sea or on land for DISNEY, no doubt, and in the future. Safe travels to you and your family and many more happy memories to be made and shared.👍💯🫶
So just one boat at a time docks there? I mean there's that going for ya, did not look terribly crowded at all really except maybe at the food stop. Good to see Disney still has buy some so you can buy more "promo" deals even at private islands 🤣
Oh man, I went on one of the cruises back in the late aughts and we stopped at Castaway Cay and it was amazing! My favorite part was going to the dock where you could pet the stingrays! We went during the off-season so the ship was fairly empty. It was the most relaxing vacation I’ve ever had and I’m trying to convince my boyfriend to plan a Disney cruise with me for our next vacation! 😂
Hey Chris, I just found something interesting about Disney that you may not know. (my guess is you do), No cast members will point with one finger because in some countries is known to be a rude jester, so they always use two fingers. Also in signage showing directions, its done with two fingers.. Also, Walt was a heavy smoker and 99% of the photos that he is in, they "photo shopped" the cigarette out of the picture, which in result kind of showed him pointing with two fingers!.
Pluto is probably not on the island map because he's Mickey's dog & the Disney cruise (only way to get to the island) isn't exactly a bring your pet venue. Just theorizing.
I'm so happy Mimi finally got to go to the private island since she got ripped off that last cruise. I'm wondering if Disney ever compensated people for that ordeal??
Sooo fun! Wanna go, but my 84 year opd mom says shes too old for Disney cruise. i think not! What can i say to convince her to come too?? Want her to have fun too!
About 30 people live there full time (6 months on, 6 months off) they do maintenance, grounds keeping etc... the servers, child care staff and merchandise people come from the boat.
“You come here often?” Cute to see y’all having fun and keeping it fresh, Chris!

I think your hat is cool Chris!! Also your mom has great taste in disney merch that blue and orange 😍👌🧡💙
I’m glad MiMi made it to Castaway Cay this time. I was so sad for her last time.😁

Hey Chris and Amanda! Thank you for sharing your special day! Looked like you all had a great day at Castaway Cay🥰
I would go crazy for those pins!!!! And the survivors
Wow the view of the ship from the observation deck - MASSIVE!! It looks like a small city from a distance
I'm new to your channel and I absolutely love it,You seem like a great caring person,That is so refreshing. I'm a new fan to your channel...Thank you
Yay!! Glad you found us.
Thanks for the video. I had no idea what to expect besides swimming. It’s nice to see they have some shopping.
Yes they do
Its great to see you and your family having fun together. Life is so short. Life life at its fullest day day by. Treat each day like its your last, because it may. Blessings!

So Glad Mimi got to go on this trip with you and experience castaway cay. I’ve been excited all week for her (and you🤪)
Hope you enjoyed it!
Castaway Cay is definitely on the Disney bucket list for my wife and I. Looks amazing.
It's so good!
It looks fantastic…I would definitely be up early grab my beach spot and chill out..
The bikes looked fun…..
My friend has been here,he said it was fabulous…..it is strange how you get tired doing nothing!! 👍🇬🇧
Hi Mimi. I happy that you got to enjoy Castaway Cay on this Trip. 🎉🎉🎉 Chris thank you for the Tour. Stay Positive and on to the next Adventure.
Your mom is so sweet
Love your mom ! She's so cute!
Your mom is adorable ❤ I'm glad you guys had so much fun!

That was an awesome day got to spend it with family is always great. Thank you for keeping those inspirational messages they are so uplifting.
It depends on what time of year you go. We were there at this time in 2015 and had jeans and blankets at Castaway.
Our first cruise was a double dip to castaway. So amazing!
Just wanted to say that this probably the most helpful Castaway Cay video I have ever seen! We’re preparing for our first visit this April, and it’s hard to get a sense of layout from most cruise vlogs. So glad you guys finally made it!

I have been to Castaway Cay and it was very memorable!
Pat looks amazing! My Aunt Kathi live across the street over off of Neffs Lane ❤️ Love watching all of the Disney tips!
Looks like you all had a great time there. I really need to go there with my family.
I freakin love momma provost!! What a fun day, hope to get to Cast Away Cay someday!
Great island tour’. Thanks 💕💕💕
Glad you enjoyed it

Castaway Cay🌴🥰
Chris,love your videos, the colorful shoes and the puns and am impressed with the arches shade hat you wore. Go Utah!
Rock on!
Right on for some odd reason Mimi reminded me of the movie “Stop or my will shoot” don’t know why? Those kids are going to sleep tonight!
Thanks for sharing your journey with us! Looks like so much fun. Been watching all of it. 😊
So just one boat at a time docks there? I mean there's that going for ya, did not look terribly crowded at all really except maybe at the food stop. Good to see Disney still has buy some so you can buy more "promo" deals even at private islands 🤣
One of my very favorite places! It's almost like I'm there. 🙂
Just finished your cruise series…great videos!
Mimi we've missed you!
Love your mom!
Oh man, I went on one of the cruises back in the late aughts and we stopped at Castaway Cay and it was amazing! My favorite part was going to the dock where you could pet the stingrays!

If you like castaway cay, you would love a trip to Hawaii

You’re an awesome 😎 UA-cam channel.
Merch money pit. I love relaxing at home. 🎉
Thank you Sir
I am Pisces something fishy is going on! lol.
Hi Mimi! ❤
I can drive a fork truck, can I work there? lol.
I'm so happy Mimi finally got to go to the private island since she got ripped off that last cruise. I'm wondering if Disney ever compensated people for that ordeal??
Chris is great, but I miss Amanda in these videos--you are stronger as a team
Love the hat ! Where did you get it !
Do they still have the snorkel hunt in the water for the hidden treasures.
Does the Disney island still have the pirate ship from the movie pirates of the Caribbean?
Sooo fun! Wanna go, but my 84 year opd mom says shes too old for Disney cruise. i think not!
What can i say to convince her to come too?? Want her to have fun too!
Is there any nighttime activities on the island?
Good parenting having Miles wear a life jacket since you were not with him.
I'm curious if the staff at the castaway cay are the same staff from the ship or do they have them pre-staged there?
About 30 people live there full time (6 months on, 6 months off) they do maintenance, grounds keeping etc... the servers, child care staff and merchandise people come from the boat.
Are there people who dont use bathrooms?
Heyooooo!
👍👍👍❤❤❤
Please wear a helmet especially trying to film at the same time gosh it’s not worth the risk
Cay!! It's castaway CAY! Not key. Lol. Drove me nuts a little bit.
Actually either pronunciation is correct but it’s most commonly “key”
