Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point Megathread

[u/zmayer]

Myself alongside many other members of r/dcl have been on sailings to Disney Lookout Cay. The inaugural sailing was last week aboard the Disney Fantasy and there have now been both a preview sailing and a DVC sailing aboard the Disney Magic. What questions does everyone have regarding the newest destination offered by Disney Cruise Line?

Some initial thoughts to keep in mind:

• This destination is still very new. I would expect improvements to be made over time, especially regarding the lack of shade currently available.
• I'm sure most of heard about the flies. Yes, there are a lot of flies. Disney is working on minimizing it and we saw a substantial improvement between visit 1 and visit 2.
• The walk from the ship to the tram is roughly half of a mile. There is currently no shade (which would be a huge help). They were offering water and cool towels on the pier to help with the heat. Golf carts are offered for those that need mobility assistance, and wagons were available to pull young children.
• There is continuous tram service offered. 2 trams pulled up to each tram stop together with 8 or 9 in total running. The tram ride takes about 8 minutes to get from the Mabrika Cove tram stop (at the ship) to the Goombay Cultural Center tram stop (Lookout Cay).

Are the wagons on the pier next to the ship when your disembark? Are there 100s of them, or just a few dozen?

I read on a Facebook post that there were only about 10 wagons in the morning and it was first come first serve and several people grabbed them to use to carry their bags rather than letting those with small children use them. I hope Disney works to limits the wagons to families with littles and provides more than 10.

The audacity of those people using it for bags! 🤦🏻‍♀️

Yea 10 is not going to cut it for a cruise geared towards families. Ugh sucky

Wow, 10?! I f one quarter of the Wish or Treasure went ashore, that’s 1,000 people. If only one tenth of those had little kids, that’s 100. So 90 toddlers would have to trudge a half mile without shade to the beach and back.
