Key Aspects:
- Disney Cruise Line has added new Mickey & Minnie Cove Cabanas for rental on Castaway Cay.
- Reservations for the new cabanas are available for sailings visiting from December 5, 2025 and beyond.
- Cabana rentals include a variety of exclusive perks such as snorkel gear, fresh fruit, and more.
There’s nothing quite like casting one’s cares away to truly relax on a cruise, whether that might mean lounging on the beach, sipping a cool beverage, or floating away on calm ocean waves.
Now, guests to Disney Cruise Line’s Castaway Cay will be able to do all three at the new Mickey & Minnie Cove Cabanas. The just-revealed rentals are available for booking for all Castaway Cay port visits beginning December 5, 2025.
As with all private villa and family cabana rentals, the numbers of these new attractions are limited. In fact, there are only 30 of the new cabanas opening, but they include such prime features that they’re sure to sell out quickly.
Each cabana includes comfortable seating: chaise loungers, a hammock, and other cozy seating. To stay cool, a sailcloth shade provides expansive cover, while a ceiling fan ensures a balmy breeze.
More active guests can enjoy some exclusive features with these new cabanas. Snorkel equipment, float and tube rentals, and an hour-long bike rental for each person is included with the rental, ensuring great family fun when visiting the private island.
Furthermore, no need to worry about valuables while cycling around the island or exploring beneath the waves. Each cabana has a small private safe for guests’ exclusive use.
After so much fun, it will be nice to rejuvenate with chilled face cloths, fresh fruit and snacks, complimentary bottled water, and soft drinks. To really cool off, the freshwater shower will get rid of gritty sand or seawater.
For guests who want to raise a toast to their private piece of island paradise, alcoholic drinks can be purchased at an additional cost. Dedicated beverage service is part of the cabana experience, so no need to head to a bar!
Guests will be able to book the new cabanas during their individual Castaway Club booking windows, which depend on sailing date.
Prices have not yet been revealed but are likely to vary depending on sailing date and the exact date of a Castaway Cay visit. The size of the ship will also impact the cabana cost, as well as just how quickly they are sure to sell out.
Why Spend So Much on Cabanas?
Every private island in the Bahamas features some sort of villa or cabana rental, whether it is on Royal Caribbean’s Perfect Day at CocoCay, Norwegian Cruise Line’s Great Stirrup Cay, or Carnival Cruise Line’s new Celebration Key.
They all have different features and amenities, but one thing they all have in common are extraordinary price tags.
Think hundreds of dollars, even $1,000 or higher, for a one-day rental. Who would ever pay such extraordinary prices when they can visit the beach for free?
First of all, the guarantee of a cabana rental can be priceless. With cruise ships such as Disney Wish and Disney Treasure welcoming as many as 4,000 guests, the individual hammocks and beach chairs provided free on Castaway Cay can fill up quickly.
Even if there is seating available, it may be in less desirable locations. Sitting in the beating sun, too far from activities, or in some of the noisiest spots, is never ideal for island relaxation.

The included extras in a cabana rental, such as the tubes, floats, snorkel gear, and bikes, are nice bonuses without adding on even more fees.
Finally, many families enjoy using their private cabana as a home base. This ensures they have a dedicated spot to meet and relax despite different activities throughout the day.
After all, you’re on vacation – isn’t splurging for those once-in-a-lifetime memories worthwhile?
