New Private Island

[JM_97]

I know Disney has bought land to build a new island in addition to Castaway Cay. And that they have an agreement with the Bahamian government. But can someone explain what the island is going to be like compared to CC? I've tried to find some information but haven't had a lot of luck and it's mostly been about locals complaining that Disney is doing it.

Joe Rhode, the lead imagineer for Animal Kingdom, is in charge of developing the new island. They released some details a few days ago. You can see a video and some images here :

The DCL blog has some scans of documents handed out during meetings where you see the dock in relation to the different zones, but those are not official plans. I can’t seem to find a more detailed plan I saw this week, but it was similar :

That’s pretty much what’s known. One aspect that is different from CC is that they will allow local use of some facilities when not in use by the cruise passengers.
