Is it free to use the waterslides at castaway cay?
Yes. The only downside is, once you've gone down the slide you must swim back to shore before you can get back in line to go again!

Very cool! Love this shot!! Can't wait to visit again July 2011 on the Dream!

but the good news is, is that Disney has said that something will be taking it's place. We just don't exactly know what. Speculations are the Black Pearl. We will find out soon i hope! 

whoa, i'm not up to speed on all things dcl, is that the pirate ship at castaway cay?
It was the Flying Dutchman frome POC movies. It was worn down by weather and waves over the years so for safety and health reasons, DCL had it dismantled last month. There are rumours another POC ship will be coming to Castaway Cay. Time will tell!

Even if it isn't replaced, we still LOVE Castaway Cay and look forward to our return!
Thanks for the info...let us know if hear of a replacement! 

To everyone that takes the time to share their pictures and memories, Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! We're taking our first cruise in May and I absolutely cannot wait! Looking at these pictures keeps me sane.
Evad~ Your photos are amazing. They are so beautiful! All of the Castaway Cay shots are so wonderful that I feel like I am already there. You keep me coming back every day. Thank you so much!

It's Definately true that some Character CM's will go out of their way to make children happy. When we were ending our day at Castaway Cay, and arrived at the gangplank, Minnie was there,and was having her last photo of the afternoon with another family. My son wanted to see her, but was extremely shy. He stood off the way side. The photographer had just left, but Minnie was waving him over anyway. He wouldn't go to her. Then she noticed his Pirate Beach Ball (an FE gift that was given to him), and held out her hands to indicate to him to throw the ball to her. Amazingly he did. And they stood there for like 5 minutes, just tossing that ball back and forth (neither of them ever dropped it), then he did stand beside her so I could take a Photo. He was THRILLED that Minie played Catch with him!
