Castaway Cay Grand Cabana - Family beach #21

[DisneyokwSSR]

Has anyone stayed in the Castaway Cay grand family cabana (#21)? I was hoping to find some newer pictures and/or pictures inside of the cabana.

Thanks!

Is grand cabana the name or is it really bigger than the rest. Our huge group has #19 reserved and a handful of us are not going to be able to take advantage.

 

[DisneyokwSSR]

Yes, the grand family cabana fits between 10 and 16 people. I have heard it is about double the size of the regular cabanas. You have to call Disney Cruise Lines to reserve. It is not offered online. In the picture below it is farthest on the left, hanging over the water. I am trying to find a newer picture, to see if there is now any vegetation around the cabana. I am also interested in seeing what the interior looks like.

So far, i've not seen any pics of inside that cabana. Someone on here was the first person to stay in it in january so it's not had a lot of people in it yet. I don't think much vegetation is around those cabanas. We have #15 in May and I will try to take photos for you.

Yes, we were the first to stay in cabana 21
We got married on castaway cay and booked 3 cabanas for our guest..as Disney had not opened the large,one. Despite many attempts to book it...it was not completed yet
Our Disney fairytale wedding ship board wedding planner pixe dusted us and told us after we had our Cermony...that we would be the first guest to use cabana 21!

Love the location of this cabana..even though it's remote from everything. But that sort of the appeal. Even more so with a large group of people. Felt like we had our own private beach.

The cabana is larger...it's basically 2 normal ones put together.

Still waiting to get our photos from everyone...think there are some pics of the cabana and its location etc
Will try to remember to post them once we get them.

If you have any questions ask away
But it's the same as other cabanas...just much larger

We had 16 people and had plenty of room. Did not feel small or cramped at all

If you go to "dream concierge" thread and to "castaway cay private cabanas" thread you will see lots of pics of the new area outside at least and a video from someone who stayed in 18 so you can see that area.

I have searched and searched for the "castaway cay private cabanas" thread and can't seem to find the one you're referring to! Do you think you could bump it? Or tell me a different way to search? Thanks so much, cashe!

Congratulations!! Thank you very much. It looks nice. I do have a few questions:

It seems that you look out on the Disney cruise ship. Is that true?
Did they provide swim tubes and rafts? I did not see any in any older pictures.
Do you look right out on the beach or is there a "tide pool" I have seen mentioned in some cabana threads.

Thanks, again!

Thanks! I will be there in mid-May. I will also try to post some pictures of #21 when I return.

Yes, you look back towards the ship. Great view!
Yes, swim tubes,rafts,snorkel gear etc is all included. Just like all the other cabanas you get wrist band so you don't pay for these items.
Right out front just past the hammock is beach and then tide pool...I guess you would call it
Water did get deep at further

I would note that anything you order from the serves takes a while to make it back to you. The waiters all walked no carts. Had a couple of drinkers in our group and they figure out its best to order a few drinks...as it took a long time from them to deliver them.
Think the servers should have a golf cart to use to expedite the process...or they need to add a bar closer to these cabanas.
