- Castaway Cay - Disney spent $25 million to develop the island in the 1990's. It is the only private island for cruise ships featuring a dock, so no tendering (taking a boat from the ship) is necessary. The island is developed in the theme of a castaway community, with buildings made to look as if they had been improvised after a shipwreck. Activities available include bicycles, personal watercraft rental, snorkeling, and parasailing. There are three beaches for guests: one for families, one for teens, and another exclusively for adults, called Serenity Bay. Two submarine-ride vehicles from the now-closed 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea: Submarine Voyage ride at Walt Disney World lie underwater in the snorkeling area. The Flying Dutchman pirate ship, from the Pirates of the Caribbean film series, is on display in the lagoon.
