The use of towels, access to shuttles, the beach, many activities, childcare and food are included in the cost of the cruise. Some might say Castaway Cay can be experienced for free on a Disney Cruise as long as the weather is suitable to dock.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWe have had excellent experiences not spending any additional money outside of the base cost of the cruise on Castaway Cay. Of course, there are plenty of opportunities to spend money on drinks, extra activities, and souvenirs for those who are interested.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBe sure to check the daily Navigator (or schedule) for the day to find out all of the scheduled activities. I also like to ask others with more experience what they enjoy doing to get more tips.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWe think of a day on this island with our family as priceless!
