Review! Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point

Last week we took a look at the original Disney Magic Cruise ship and shared our four night experience from Port Canaveral to San Juan, Puerto Rico. Day 3 of that experience was visiting Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point. There is so much to talk about here that I chose to use it as a separate podcast. We had a review from David Zanolla last year, but everything at that time was brand new and really just getting underway. This was an opportunity to see it about a year and a half later, and for me, I was surprised by how much our family really enjoyed this. From arrival to the beach; from lunch to Junkanoo, we’ll share it all. And we’ll talk a little about how it compares to my vacation from my vacation home–Disney’s Castaway Cay. Join us as we visit and review Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point.
