Hello, travelers! You’re invited to follow the Disney Parks Blog for exclusive updates at Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point, Disney Cruise Line’s newest, one-of-a-kind tropical retreat on the island of Eleuthera, The Bahamas.
As we await the grand opening of Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point in June 2024, you’ll get a chance to learn more about the destination straight from our Cast Members in The Bahamas and beyond, right here on the Disney Parks Blog.
My name is Joey Gaskins, and I’m part of the Disney Cruise Line team in The Bahamas. Our new island destination, Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point on the island of Eleuthera, opens this summer – less than half an hour by plane from my home in Nassau. This beautiful destination will offer a window into our rich culture, warm hospitality and breathtaking natural beauty of The Bahamas.
Are you wondering about how this special island destination comes to life? Today, I’m excited to share first-look photos of construction progress, which give a glimpse of the inspiration and stunning architecture of Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point.
Cabanas
Do you see those vibrant colors and patterns designed by a Bahamian artist dotting the beautiful shores of Disney Lookout Cay? Those are the Mabrika Cove Cabanas, which will be available for families to relax and play along the white sand and turquoise Bahamian waters.
Among the first sights guests will see when approaching Disney Lookout Cay, the colorful cabanas will set a tone for the vibrant and beautiful architecture throughout the island destination.
True-True Too BBQ
Walt Disney Imagineering designed the architecture throughout Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point to resemble a series of colorful, oversized seashells scattered along the coastline. From these beautiful decks under the shade of a shell-inspired pavilion, you’ll enjoy some tasty lunch from True-True Too BBQ while taking in the beautiful views of the ocean and sand dunes.
Can you spot some nature-inspired art under the pavilion? That is just a peek of the art that will fill these beautiful spaces, all drawn from the coral, seashells, fish and flowers that inform the architecture and also inspire Eleuthera’s local artists.
Tram Stop
Another early sight of Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point is one of our tram stops. This space will soon be filled with the bright colors that will light up the destination, inspired by the warmth of Bahamian art and culture. Expect hair braiding, merchandise and lots of fun.
Stay tuned to the Disney Parks Blog for more exciting updates as we count down the days to June!
When you visit Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point, you’ll be immersed in elements of Bahamian culture. This special new island destination is inspired by Junkanoo, a longstanding Bahamian tradition celebrating the unique culture of this beautiful country.
