Why the Food on Castaway Cay Is a Disney Cruise Favorite

Disney’s private island Castaway Cay serves up a BBQ lunch prepared by Disney Cast Members during your day on the island. The food on the island is served in two locations.

Here’s a look at all the food offered at the island buffet and a call out of my favorite items that you really can’t miss! This is one of the best perks of visiting Disney’s island.

Castaway Cay BBQ Food Options

The Castaway Cay food can be found near the main beach area on the island and at the Serenity Bay adult’s only island beach at Cookie’s BBQ. Both food stations have the same offerings. If you are traveling without children, I would recommend Serenity Bay for lower crowds at lunch and less chaotic energy overall.

All of the food options are really good. There are a number of different entree options all of which make me wish that I got more than one meal here. Here’s a look at the different food options.

There is a salad bar with a variety of options and a BBQ lineup.

On the salad bar, some options include coleslaw, macaroni salad, and mango slaw.

There is also a fruit bar with a large number of fresh fruit options.

On the BBQ lineup there were options for ribs, pulled pork, burgers, hot dogs, and even vegetarian options.

And of course, there is a full beverage station available too.

Here’s a look at our plate on Castaway Cay! And just like the cruise, the food is all you care to enjoy.
