DISNEY NEWS ROUNDUP: New Poly Room Reveal; New Private Island Preview; Special Treats Unveiled for Tiana’s and Lion King 25th; All New Merch & More
This week was an exciting one. We were able to experience the new Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point, Disney Cruise Line’s newest private island destination. We’re so excited to share everything we’ve learned about this beautiful location. We’re also gearing up for a few days at Walt Disney World to experience the new summer offerings that are coming soon! Disney released the limited-time treats that will be available for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and “The Lion King’s” 30th anniversary celebration at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. We got a look inside the new Island Tower coming to Disney’s Polynesian Resort & Bungalows that will open in December. Finally, we got a look at upcoming Disney merchandise. Learn about all of these and more below.
1 – We Visited Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point and Loved It!
On June 7, we were among the first guests to visit Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point, Disney Cruise Line’s newest island destination on the island of Eleuthera, The Bahamas. We have so much to share with you about what the island destination has to offer. We’ll be working hard this week to bring you articles that cover everything you need to know to enjoy your time there. In the meantime, visit the links below for our Instagram Story for coverage of our cruise so far.

Disney Lookout Cay offers a different vibe and experience than Disney’s Castaway Cay. We’ve heard from some guests who were disappointed in their experience on the island. As we cover the island, we’ll be sharing about its natural beauty, especially the cultural beauty, and how it offers a different kind of retreat than Castaway Cay. We hope that guests give the island a chance and see it as a compliment to Castaway Cay and not something inferior. We really enjoyed our time on the island and believe that it’s a great addition to Disney Cruise Line.
2 – Follow Along as we Experience New Experiences Coming to EPCOT and Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
We’ll soon be visiting Walt Disney World from June 9-11 to experience a media event where we’ll be enjoying the new summer experiences coming to EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom. We’ll also get a preview of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure on June 10! We’re so excited to share with you our thoughts and offer tips for the best summer vacation at Walt Disney World. Be sure to follow us on Instagram for live coverage of the event. Of course, we’ll also have lots of articles coming to our website with everything you need to know about the new offerings!
