Sun Kissed Dream | Disney’s Castaway Cay
I’ve never been one to put the camera away during the middle of the day as it is not always practical to get up extremely early or stalk sunset. I figure, why waste a perfectly good opportunity to be creative and shoot for an HDR image.
While on a Disney Cruise the early mornings are simple, the sunsets for me are not. We always choose main dinning which usually runs through the sunset. Then, there is the fact that the ship leaves Castaway Cay at 4:30 PM or earlier if there is a weather system approaching. Even when there is a late departure in another port it would not come close to the beauty of Castaway Cay.
I’d love the opportunity to spend a few nights on Castaway Cay even with the man-eating bugs.

Castaway Cay’s Mount Rustmore Revisited
Mount Rustmore, yes that is RUST, not RUSH, at Disney’s Castaway Cay is one of those must have family photo ops for families visiting the private island. Imagineers re-purposed old marine scrap into pop art featuring the likes of Mickey Mouse, Pluto, Donald Duck, ad Goofy.
However, for some reason, I cannot find a single family picture at this location. I guess there is another good reason to go back!

A Palm Frond Dream | Disney’s Castaway Cay
The one thing Disney has yet to figure out is how to control the weather. I’m sure there is an Imagineer or two tucked away in a remote office working on solving this problem…..
Regardless of the weather, Castaway Cay is always a fun time. Just find a hammock under a palm tree, relax and realize your car will not be full of sand at the end of the day!

The radar domes offer a place to kick back and relax on the sundeck. If you look closely you can see the Meyer Werft ship builder plaque.
