Rob and Amy are back, this time with their friends Ann and Matt and five kids between them, for a 5-night Disney Fantasy sailing with two stops at Castaway Cay and one at Lookout Cay. They talk through the planning trade-offs, a Palo Prima Notte that won over a non-drinker, cruising with celiac, and why comparing the two private islands misses the point.
In this episode:
- How a surprise placeholder discount and the “fifth person tax” steered two families from the Treasure to the Fantasy
- Pairing the cruise with a DVC stay at Animal Kingdom Lodge, plus a night at Shades of Green
- Palo’s Prima Notte with zero-proof pairings, and why the Palo team rose to the challenge
- Why Ann chose an all-Disney-island itinerary to manage celiac, and how the gluten-free dining held up
- Castaway Cay vs. Lookout Cay, three island days in a row, and passing on a cabana
- Edge, Vibe, and Oceaneer Club, the Aladdin show, and a late-night karaoke duet
“Castaway Cay is kind of like Disneyland from the 50s, right? And then... Lighthouse Point is Epcot in the height of Epcot times.” — Rob
