Hey there, Disney fans! We have some thrilling news from the enchanting world of Disney Cruise Line. Get ready to embark on an adventure to a brand new, magical destination—the stunning Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point, located on the picturesque Bahamian island of Eleuthera.
Just this week, Mickey and Minnie Mouse, with their delightful charm, welcomed the first lucky guests to this tropical paradise. The celebration was nothing short of spectacular with a mesmerizing Disney twist on Junkanoo, the Bahamas’ own beloved festival of unity.
Designed by the talented Walt Disney Imagineers alongside local Bahamian artists, Lookout Cay seamlessly blends sustainable efforts with the vibrant culture of the Bahamas. The island features enchanting nature trails, gleeful water play areas, and pristine, sun-soaked beaches perfect for both families and adults seeking a touch of magic in their tropical getaway.
Kevin Thomas, the creative director at Walt Disney Imagineering, shared a heartwarming perspective on the project: “Rather than creating a fictional story here at Disney Lookout Cay, we are offering Guests an opportunity to relax, enjoy and experience the magnificent landscape and culture that abounds through the islands via expressions of art, music and storytelling.”
With dramatic structures inspired by oversized seashells and splashed with bright Bahamian colors throughout dining pavilions, bars, and the Goombay Cultural Center, every corner of Lookout Cay bursts with life and local artistry. Notable Bahamian artist Antonius Roberts expressed his pride in contributing to this vision, enthusiastic about the long-lasting impact it will have on visitors.
Equally impressive is Disney’s commitment to environmental sustainability on the island. The company has preserved over 84% of the land in its natural state and promises to meet 90% of the destination’s energy demand from renewable sources, ensuring that the environmental beauty of the Bahamas remains unspoiled.
