Anyone have the scoop on what this is and who is it for?

Per Google

"Hangar 98" is likely a misunderstanding of the MYAG airport code for the former airstrip on Disney's Castaway Cay, which was built by Frank Barber for drug smuggling before Disney bought the island. The island's history includes being a filming location for Splash and Pirates of the Caribbean, but "Hangar 98" is not the name of an official structure there.

MYAG is still an active runway per Flight Aware and I'll bet DISNEY uses it if needed.

Saw on FB that it is going to be the new BBQ restaurant for serenity bay and the new family cabanas. Not sure that I like that it won’t be adult only anymore for lunch.

We saw it last month and it looked almost ready to open. It is directly behind the current serenity bay BBQ.

That's what I heard but wasn't sure if it was fact. Hopefully they still keep the adult area adult.

Yeah I got the same. Google's AI isn't the most accurate at times.

Wait, so no more adult-only dining on Castaway??? Way to ruin a perfect beach day!

Them adding family cabanas near the adult beach is legitimately my least favorite thing that DCL has ever done. I don't want to deal with kids at Castaway, and frankly cabanas are overrated and people need to just get over themselves if they can't book one of the existing ones.

Hoping this is just a rumor, but I will say I had the same thought while eating lunch there last month. Hangar 98 towers over the original serenity bay BBQ. It is way too big to just be for serenity bay and too close to the new family cabanas for them to not eat there. DCL just continues to make the adult only cruising experience less.
