Castaway Cay is a private island in the Bahamas which serves as an exclusive port for the Disney Cruise Line ships. It is located near Great Abaco Island and was formerly known as Gorda Cay. In 1997, The Walt Disney Company purchased a 99-year land lease (through 2096) for the cay from the Bahamian government, giving the company substantial control over the island.

Castaway Cay was the first private island in the cruise industry where the ship docks on the island, eliminating the need for guests to be tendered to land.^[1]

The island is still largely undeveloped as only 55 of the 1,000 acres (4.0 km²) are being used. Castaway Cay now has approximately 60 Disney Cruise Line permanent residents who keep the island running daily.^[2]

History[edit]

Gorda Cay[edit]

Gorda Cay was first settled in 1783.^[3] Gorda's airstrip (now Castaway Cay Airport) was once used as a stop in the 1930s for bootleggers^[4] and later, drug runners.^[1]

Gorda Cay had also been used for filming in 1983. The beach where Tom Hanks first encounters nude Daryl Hannah in Splash is on the island.^[3] Part of the film Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl was filmed on the island.^[4]

Castaway Cay[edit]

In 1997, the Disney Cruise Line purchased a 99-year lease for Gorda Cay from the Bahamian government and renamed it Castaway Cay, intending for it to be the line's private island. The company spent $25 million while construction took 18 months.^[1] This included dredging 50,000 truckloads of sand from the Atlantic Ocean.^[5] The pier and its approaches (1,700 ft. channel) were constructed to allow the Disney ships to dock alongside, thus removing the need for tenders to get the passengers ashore.^[1]

An additional race, Castaway Cay Challenge, was added to the Walt Disney World Marathon weekend series in 2015 with the 5K race taking place on Castaway Cay.^[6]

Ijit. On February 26, 2015, a 38-year-old man from New York died after drowning at the adult beach at Castaway Cay.^[7] A death from a medical condition occurred on March 1 of that year on a ship docked at the island.^[8]

Facilities[edit]

A post office on the island has special Bahamian postage and postmark specific to Disney Cruise Line.^[1] 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. The facilities are maintained like any other Disney theme park; the shops accept guests' stateroom keys for payment. Food service is operated as an extension of the cruise package. A variety of activities are available to guests including bicycle rentals, personal watercraft rentals, massages overlooking the ocean, snorkeling, parasailing, volleyball, and basketball. There are monkey bars and a rope for children to climb across set about 30 metres (98 ft) into the ocean on one beach and a slide about 25 metres (82 ft) into the ocean on another beach. There are three beaches for guests: one exclusively for families, one exclusively for cabana guests, and another exclusively for adults, called Serenity Bay.^[1]

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.^[4] The Flying Dutchman pirate ship, from the Pirates of the Caribbean film series, was formerly on display in the lagoon, but as of November 2010, it had been removed and taken to another location on the island where it was dismantled.

Paradise is a religious or metaphysical term for a place in which existence is positive, harmonious and eternal; in contrast to the miseries of normal existence, in paradise there is only peace, prosperity, and happiness. It is a place of contentment, but it is not necessarily one of luxury or idleness, and often described as a 'higher' place, the holiest place, in contrast to the normal world, or an underworlds such as Hell.

Quotes[edit]

• Suppose a nation in some distant region should take the Bible for their only law book and every member should regulate his conduct by the precepts there exhibited. . . .What a Eutopia - What a Paradise would this region be!
  • John Adams, Diaries (22 February 1756)

  But blessedness dwells in the human breast.

• This is the Church’s destination: it is, as the Bible says, the “new Jerusalem”, “Paradise”. More than a place, it is a “state” of soul in which our deepest hopes are fulfilled in superabundance and our being, as creatures and as children of God, reach their full maturity. We will finally be clothed in the joy, peace and love of God, completely, without any limit, and we will come face to face with Him! (cf. 1 Cor 13:12). It is beautiful to think of this, to think of Heaven. We will all be there together. It is beautiful, it gives strength to the soul.

• In the paradise, made by God, all the plants were endowed in the souls and reason, producing for their fruit the different virtues, and, moreover, imperishable wisdom and prudence. .. These statements appear to me to be dictated by a philosophy which is symbolical rather than strictly accurate. For no trees of life or of knowledge have ever at any previous time appeared upon the earth, nor is it likely that any will appear hereafter. But I rather conceive that Moses was speaking in an allegorical spirit, intending by his paradise to intimate the dominant character of the soul, which is full of innumerable opinions as this figurative paradise was of trees.
  • Philo, On the Creation of the World.

• The word paradise comes from the Persian word pairidaeza, which means 'walled garden.' ..There never was a Garden of Eden, but there was, perhaps, a Garden of Ediacara.. blob-like creatures that lived in the sea..
