For Kids, It's Neverland.
For Grownups, It's Shangri-La.
One port of call for the Disney Magic® and
the Disney Wonder® is Castaway Cay,
Disney's private island in the Bahamas.
They've taken the island's decidedly
inappropriate history--it's said to be a
former fueling stop for drug-running
airplanes--and fictionalized it, inventing a
story about a group of castaways
who once made the island home.
This is the island experience as theme
park: scrubbed-down and sanitized.
But with its customary attention to detail,
from island music to bright pastel beach
umbrellas, Disney has created a small paradise for families who want a day to sun, swim or snorkel without worrying about safety or convenience. It's hard to quarrel with a setup that ensures such carefree enjoyment of the swaying palms, pale beaches and sparkling water of the Bahamas.
A tram ride away from the main beach, dining and entertainment area is a private beach for adults. There's a bar, a place to rent bicycles and two cabanas for massages in the open air, overlooking the sea. Unfortunately, there are very few slots available for massages; if Disney's going to boast about them so temptingly in its literature, it needs to be able to accommodate more guests than that from a ship that holds 2,400 people.
Welcome to paradise.
