From Island Vibes to Pirate Skies: Castaway Cay & Disney Wish Highlights

Our family adventure at Disney’s Castaway Cay and Pirate Night aboard the Disney Wish was pure magic, from peaceful morning beach vibes on the private island to the swashbuckling fun of Pirate Night at sea.

This unforgettable day gave us everything we love about Disney Cruise Line: family-friendly relaxation, immersive entertainment, and moments we’ll never forget, especially if you're planning your first cruise and wondering what to expect.

How We Spent Our Castaway Cay Day and Pirate Night Aboard the Disney Wish

Our Morning at Pelican Point Beach

We started the day with a peaceful morning at Pelican Point — shallow waters, shady loungers, and plenty of sandcastle fun.

Midday Eats: Cookies BBQ Lunch

From juicy burgers to tropical fruit, our lunch hit the spot. Cookies BBQ is a fan-favorite — and it’s included!

Back on the Disney Wish: Ice Cream, Views, and Pirate Prep

We cooled off with soft-serve and enjoyed the breeze from the upper deck before getting ready for Pirate Night.
