We Had THE WORST TIME At Disney's NEW Lookout Cay At Lighthouse Point
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 มิ.ย. 2024
- Lookout Cay At Lighthouse Point is Disney Cruise line's Newest Private Island destination. We were lucky enough to board the Disney Magic Cruise Ship to be the first to visit Disney Lookout Cay. Lookout Cay at lighthouse point to needs to make some updates. The Way lookout cay is, We found it hard to enjoy fully. Hopefully disney cruise line does something to change this, and be more available to everyone.

"We are on the Mayflower and we're taking our pilgrimage to the new world." Absolutely hysterical!!🤣😆🤣
And that's why I came to the comments. That's new merch right there! Aka "Send it to Darrell" for the the first drink of the day crew... :)
This is good to know especially walking that long walkway with small children or elderly 😭
Bring a wagon! Lol
I a totally turned off by it¸ what they charge for a cruise and THAT is what they are offering? Disney? Oh well no!
Pushing a wheelchair will be a nightmare
A 12 minute walk doesn't seem so bad for a relaxing time on the island. Plus if you have been to the Disney parks you are walking all day so what's 12 minutes? It's summer in the Bahamas, wear a hat and bring your water bottle.
That easy huh? lol ok
@@TravelSpreeOfficial Yes. :)
12 minutes for young adult fast walkers. But nearly 100 degrees at like 11am isn't good for anyone not used to it, especially pale northerners, children, seniors and people with disabilities.
The walk BLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWS!!!
That's a great point. People who cruise Disney probably go to the parks too. You walk all day at the parks.
It's not a private island, it's Eleuthera. It is an island in the Bahamas with people who are very proud and some who are not very happy about the whole Disney takeover of the Southern part of the island. Some of that "private beach" to the North is public.
The walkway/ dock was built that way to try to preserve the coral reefs.
That’s garbage. Disney destroyed the natural reef and got away with it by reseeding baby coral that will take tens of years to grow to the size of what they destroyed. This whole enterprise is an environmental disaster for Eleuthera.
They can still have shade
They can still use trams
They can still have benches, water stations, cooling sprays.
But the walk BLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWS!!!
Disney should probably add some intermittent shade structures - maybe with H2O misters - but even at a casual stroll pace, this is only a 9 minute walk on a flat, smooth surface. Excluding those with physical limitations, we have become soft, like the passengers of the Axiom from WALL-E.
They also should add some benches in case people start walking out and realize they need a break.
They better get some trams running from the ahip to the island and back cuz little kids aren't gonna want to walk that
Yeah I’d be curious to see what families think of the walk
Unfortunately I don't think that's going to happen anytime soon. From what I've read it seems like it's not structurally sound for consistent transportation from ship to shore. They do have transportation for those with disabilities but walking will likely be the only option for most a long time. I would imagine they will add shade though!
Yes, Disney is known for generations traveling together, I don't see Grandma and Grandpa going to the island. I hope they are not done with the walk way
I think it’s going to be us moms pushing the kids in strollers & carrying their backpacks… and leaving Grandpa on the boat.
@@TravelSpreeOfficial We know why they did it, but we have zero interest in going. A lot of things bother me about this island, but the lack of chairs and umbrellas along the beach is the worst. There's no way I can relax or sit on that upper part bc I need to be able to watch my kids. And I can't imagine Grandma walking all that way to look at the back of a chair. It just looks like so much stress to me. Maybe they'll make some changes, but there's a reason they put the expensive cabanas at the end of the pier.
No amount of relaxing on the beach is going to erase the memory of that walk back. That's the last memory you are leaving the island with. When we were at CC, we stayed until the last trams and zipped back to the ship. It was delightful because we were still high on beach fun when getting back on the ship.
I love your name, it's too bad we couldn't have met on the cruise that would have been funny
That walk is just way too long for littles, elderly and the physically challenged. It’s even worse because there is no shade and no benches. Perhaps Disney expects to use golf carts when necessary. If there is enough backlash, they’ll address it.
Pier runners better stretch before making that dash though 🤦🏽♂️🤣
🤣🤣🤣
😅😂 first thought was about pier runners…lol,
@@anitaclue9868omg I just showed my 9 year old and she just laughed and said “piers runners have to get ready” 😂😂😂
😂😂
This!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I am not myself when I am hot either!!
For sure they should have some shade and maybe some benches for people to rest. It is good that they are preserving the area with the ships docking that far away.
Oooo the benches are such a good thought!!😊
Surprised water baby Laura didn't try to swim back to avoid the insane walk! 😂😂
Lmao I should’ve
Yeah. Not impressed. Too much walking and of on a longer chair you can’t see the beach/water. Hate sand dunes.
I purchased that fan a while ago from your Amazon store. I put it aside and found it just before our May cruise. OMG, total game changer. I told my partner, whatever you have to take out of your suitcase to get this fan to fit is worth it!! We turned it on getting ready because of the hair dryer. We ran it every night to move the air sleeping. We used it from the floor and tables. It was amazing! Thanks!
Literally the best Amazon purchase we’ve ever made hahaha it’s the best!!!
Very helpful info - I appreciate your honest impressions, which are rare among the early vloggers who are eager to please Disney. You never know if you’re watching an ad.
the way I choked when I saw the walk. I REALLY hope they are working on getting that covered because a 10+ minute walk in the bahamian sun could be enough to give someone heat stroke...
This is why we only Cruise in the month of December through the end of March. The weather is absolutely beautiful in the Caribbean that time and rarely do you sweat. Nice video 👌🏼👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
That beach is 10/10 beautiful 🤩
That is the WORST! I would not want to walk that because of the heat factor and no shade. I would end up staying on the boat. They need trams for people to enjoy the island. Thanks for sharing this.
I had booked the Magic May 2025 specifically to experience Lookout Cay. I will stay on the ship. Period.
Exactly!! 💯
@@elaineeike5363maybe they'll have trams by then. That walkway looks like it's made for trams!
Just trying to imagine carrying a sleeping toddler all the way back to the ship, no thanks. Disney should know better.
It’s 0.48 miles and they have wagons available. I’m sure people walk far further than that in Disney theme parks 🏰
I’m only a couple minutes in but I can tell you right now that island better be all inclusive with free foot massages if I’m walking that.
I loved your video. Love you guys! Thank you for keeping it real and honest with us. I saw Kyle’s I was not about the flies on the food. But seeing the ocean helped me change my perspective because that be worth it. Also loved your merch hall on Disney. I hope you guys got something.
That ending was 🔥
Thank you for sharing this. Wow what a long walk.
My friend is on this with you. She loved it. Just watched cruise with Ben and David and they gushed about how fabulous it was. Such different opinions from two couples on the same day of the same event.
I see you fought the flies off for the food.
Love you both! Always get excited when you guys post!! 🙌🏼
We 🩷 you!
The island looks beautiful.
Love the beach the water is so beautiful.🎉🎉🎉
Great googley moogley 😂😂😂
😂😅
great vid, love you guys
"I'm Not me when ii'm hot" is a great tee shirt idea Run With it Put out the merch!!!!!!!!!! Your so cute..
I’m an old lady with hot flashes and I can say I believe my head may have done the exorcist thing a few times… I’d buy one.
I keep waiting for the "Gemstones" to appear on the island... lol!!!
Ben and David had a similar reaction to the length of that walk haha
All things aside, it was absolutely fabulous getting to meet you all in person!!!
We go next year…hope Disney listens and adds shade! Pre knee surgery I was ok but now it’s making me nervous🥺 walking in heat + cement = swollen knee🤦🏻♀️
My family is going next year too. My dad is in a wheelchair, my sister will have finish chemo and her surgeries, and I have a bad knee. This makes me so mad. The walk is so dangerous. Heat stroke waiting to happen.
Great video. Thank you!
Thanks so much for getting this video up so quickly!! I'm gonna share this with my LP sailing FB group!
Appreciate that!!
Thank you for the review
Wow…that is an insanely long walk from the ship to the island in the heat with no shade or transportation. That is a huge fail!
A 20- min walk isn't going to kill anyone, nor should it be a bad thing, but I can see for the elderly, people with young children or disabled it may be a challenge. Unfortunately our society has become car- heavy on transportation and over the years we have become conditioned to the fact that we should be transported or ferried everywhere. No one wants to walk or exercise anymore.
While I don’t disagree with you 100%, I think your missing one big part. The sun. A 20 minute walk with no shade, while the sunlight and heat are being reflected off the water and white pavement, makes it worse that “just a 20 minute walk”
Pier is 1/2 mile long...That is longer then walking end to end across Magic Kingdom. Its like walking from entrance to world showcase around to middle of American Adventure area..
What a gorgeous natural island, can't wait to go!
Hope you have the best time!!
Seems very hot on the island with little shade...looking forward to getting there. Thanks for sharing!
It was so nice meeting you guys in the elevator aboard the ship! That bridge was definitely rough (and pushing a wheelchair), but the island was so beautiful.
Having just experienced the island, I can understand exactly what you guys are talking about. Great video!
I loved this review.
As a redhead, I'd have a sunburn before arriving from that walk. 15 minutes in direct sun would ruin my vacation after that point. A "Nope" here until things get built up.
Thanks for such an honest review. I think we can relate to being so hot you can't even enjoy yourself.
It's so beautiful. That water!!! I feel like a beautiful resort would have been a better fit for that island.
Yes! I had the same exact thought. 🤷🏻♀️
@@katcalico9142 great minds.
I had heard that they cannot run trams on the pier for multiple reasons. The pier had to be that long to preserve the coral reefs in the surrounding area. Also, to help preserve the reefs the pier had to be built in a way that cannot handle large trams and permanent shade structures. They could put up temporary shade structures but they would have to be disassembled very quickly in the event of inclement weather and with the pier being so long I doubt they would put many up if at all. It is nice to see that they can use golf carts for anyone that needs to use them but the walk doesn't seem that long, unless it is excruciatingly hot.
It might have been better to be a tender port than a pier one. That would open up the availability to everyone
@@TravelSpreeOfficial Agreed, the only downside to that would be the amount of time it takes to get everyone off the boat. Still will be a nice place to visit I think!
It's almost a mile one way!
“Walk doesn’t seem that long…” ya. You tell that to my families with disabilities, people who cannot tolerate heat, people with little kids… there are WAY better options than that crap.
@@deo3367 I agree with you that it sucks for those with little ones and those with disabilities, especially in the heat. They do have golf carts for those that cannot make the long walk. Not sure how many golf carts they have and how often they run though. I do hope Disney does something to fix the pier to make it accessible for everyone.
Yes the travel fan has been a staple for me and my husband. We have two and take it everywhere.
That water looks amazing!
Walking is great on a cruise so much eating! I never use an elevator either.umbrellas and water is a must walking in high heat!
We have a cruise that’s scheduled to stop here in December. I’m not sure about LP now. Maybe I should wait until it’s more developed. There’s very little shade!!
Absolutely beautiful beach tho, so worth the walk. And you are right about the rocks at Grand Turk. Still, spectacular water.
It looks so miserable and hot. Thanks for a great video. Thanks
Thanks so much ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The walk reminds me of when the trams were not running at Disneyland and you had to walk a mile. Not so bad in the morning but at night after a long park day it was brutal!
The oceanfront at half Moon cay is absolutely stunning
Great tour, great shots and great narration as usual! You guys rock! The beach is BRAND NEW. See how they are able to maintain the beach after a hurricane or two. Some of the things that you found to be deficient may be because you all are basically the first large group on the island. Kind of like the inaugural cruise on a new ship. Disney may have rushed some things because they did not want to miss opening in time for this tourist season. Just a thought. Congratulations on your engagement and up coming wedding! You guys are awesome! Thanks for sharing your adventures plus! 😎😎😎
This is the first video the algorithm suggested of yours but I subscribed super quick and you two are A-dorable! Congrats on the engagement and here’s to many happy adventures 🎉
Omg not the Atlanta water boys - core memory unlocked
I think this video is going to save a lot of people! Lol.
I believe they built that long pier is because of a coral reef on the outskirts of the Island.They dont want the ship to get stuck nor sustain damage from the coral reef.
its me....the tropical water is for me!
I knew it was for someone!! ❤️
That beach looks like a dream come true! I am 52 and never been able to leave MN/WI. I never have extra money. ❤❤❤❤
The beach front on Half Moon Cay is awesome too.
We go on Disney cruises occasionally but after seeing that walk from the ship to the shore, I think we would literally not even get off the ship! I don't blame you guys for being a little peeved about that walk in the hot sun, and no shade. Not us, they better fix that, or we'll stay on the ship. Disney!!!!! Give us trams to shore!!! Wow! Thanks for the stream, guys!!
Walking is good and something too many people don’t like doing nowadays. It might help people work off the excess food they will have eaten at the bbq earlier in the day.
Thank you Steven
You all made a mistake? You went on the first week of opening, that’s on you guys, you should know what’s coming
These vloggers didn’t address it, but another channel pointed out the hundreds of flys covering the food at the buffets. It was DISGUSTING.
Ben and David also agreed about the 20 minute walk without shade!
@@Lkb5555This is a hateful and revolting comment about Ben & David! @TraveSpreeOfficial should ban you!
That slipped through, thank you for bringing it to our attention
Love yall and thank you as always for letting me tag along. 💙🙌💙
Great information guys. That’s the green mile….lol
Looks like a great beach! I dread the walk back though! Hopefully Disney has plans to add a tram, carts, or maybe Pedicabs.
I'm booked on Disney's November 4th sailing to Lighthouse Point and clicked onto your video to see the good, the bad, and the ugly.
I booked a DCL cruise next year specifically for the two island stops - the lack of transportation to family beach as I’ll be with a senior and two little kids, this looks like a nightmare for accessibility getting on/off pier. Ugh.
You're right they need golf carts
Great video Laura and Fain! Have to agree, wasn’t really getting Disney vibes (give ‘em a few years to improve it). But that beautiful, cool blue water … that was something else!
Congrats on your engagement guys. Sending you love from Australia 🇦🇺 💙🫶
Thank you so much!!
You've probably have been told, But it is said as Key... for Castaway Cay & Lookout Cay.
Dang Disney. Thank God my first Disney cruise will be going to Castaway Cay & not here lol
Hey!! I just "met" you guys today after coming across your channel and instantly subscribed; you're so unique and fun!! So happy to have found you!
That beach looks amazing. If all you care about is a great beach, this might be the stop
That walk would really suck after my 5 margaritas on the beach 😂😂
ngl i was on board with the walk but my feet started to blister real bad on my second walk back, i 100% agree that some tram system would be super helpful especially with how many families disney cruises tend to pull. great video! fun to look back on the “maiden voyage” again haha
You know why the pier is so far away. Right? Same with the elevated boardwalks? But yes, they have to have golf carts or transportation for guests with mobility issues. Otherwise, the half mile walk shouldn't be too bad.
Everything looks pretty, but the last thing I wanna do on any island is walk a mile to find a shade somewhere
I’ll stay with cococay half moon cay or msc ocean cay
Nice to see an honest review instead of the junk you-know-who always posts that’s always super positive. Just bc something is comped, doesn’t mean you can’t be real.
Haha that’s probably why we didnt get our trip comped
i grew up loving the disney cruise. love your channel:)
“ATl water boys”. Haha IYKYK
😂
I plan to jump in the pool with my pool clothes on before crossing the Sahara. haha
The walk way looks big enough for a tram
That’s definitely a long walk. Strange for Disney to not provide trams across.
Also, you are directly on to the island right off the end of the bridge. Castaway has a long walk once on the island too. So its give and take it seems like.
The UV rays from the sun and heat are not directly related. The water temp cools you but the UV will reflect off water and white sand. Massive good sunscreen is the key here. Drinking water in that heat is vital to stay hydrated. I live in S. Florida and you learn what you can and can't do. Have fun. Wearing lite colored shirts will make a huge difference.🌝
Sorry I missed the video live. I work 6 days a week at the moment. Training for a new management position, and I have a few more weeks to train. But glad to see you both. Hot here in San Antonio, Texas too, lol
Glad you caught the replay 😊
I love you guys!!!!
i think you should try an Alaska cruise. the Bahamas and Caribbean islands are HOT HOT HOT from April through November.
Thank you for telling us the truth. This is the 4th video I watched about Lookout Cay and no one mentioned the walk.
What size fan do yall have for the cruise ?
Appreciate your honesty, love your vlogs. Water is beautiful but I’ll stick with Coco Cay ❤
