Most people don’t realize that Disney cruises are a literal treasure trove of character meet-and-greets!

Disney Cruise Line boasts an impressive lineup of characters to meet onboard the ship but if you don’t know where to look for them on Castaway Cay you could be missing THESE characters?

Castaway Cay is Disney’s private island that most Disney Cruise Line itineraries make at least one stop to visit while on your sailing.

There are so many incredible things to do while visiting the island like the Castaway Cay 5K, snorkeling to find hidden treasures, and getting your grub on at Cookies BBQ outdoor cafeteria and most people don’t realize another great opportunity that they probably walk right by or shuttle past.

At Disney’s Castaway Cay character meet and greets are peppered throughout the day visiting the island, and we’re breaking down where you can catch up with your favorite pals like:

• Mickey Mouse
• Minnie Mouse
• Donald Duck
• Daisy Duck
• Pluto
• Goofy
• Chip & Dale
• Capt. Jack Sparrow
• and on occasion: Captain Hook & Mr. Smee

If you’re looking to catch these characters out on the island, you’ll want to be familiar with a few key locations!

Here’s where you need to be on the look-out:

• Castaway Cay Post Office
• Dig Site
• Mount Rustmore
• Cookie’s BBQ
• Summertime Freeze Drink stand
• By the dock in the afternoon & evenings

Occasionally you can find Mickey Mouse hanging around the Dig Site to snap a few photos in passing. Mount Rustmore — which is one of the most picture-esque locations — typically likes to rotate one of the fab 5 characters throughout the day. Chip and Dale like to hold dance parties right by Cookies BBQ. The cool hangout of choice for Olaf is Summertime Freeze Drink Stand. And as you’re wrapping up your fun-filled island time, alternating characters will be close by on the dock ready to welcome your return to the ship.

You’ll also want to pay close attention to themed sailing nights like pirate’s night because you may even get a rare opportunity to meet with the characters in their own pirate costumes!
