Seems a possible 2nd DCL island is more then a umour!

Seems there is some testing going on with a drill rig and of course already a local group is against it.

Excellent. I'm all for another island. Not like I need another excuse to cruise.

It doesn't seem too far from Castaway Cay either. I'd be interested to see how they would make it different and how they run itineraries. They also mentioned a "cruise ship terminal". To me, that sounds like what we would find at Port Canaveral. Is this being blown out of proportion? If it merely a stop like CC, would there be a need for a terminal?

The only thing I can think of in answer to your question is that when the writer of the article said *cruise ship terminal*, they meant a slip and dock like CC.

I am going with this. Most people don't realize a terminal is like what cargo vessels dock at. Nothing more than a large parking lot with trains and cranes.

Yeah, I'm gonna guess they are referring to docking access like at Castaway Cay as opposed to tendering like at Coco Cay.

Well as usual, everything has changed. Disney has announced that they are NOT going to try and develop Egg Island. It seems after surveying and inspecting the land and reef/waterfront, it will not hold the plans Disney had in mind.

The environmental group is of course very happy and thanked Disney for seeing that the island was not suitable.

Interesting. Although it doesn't mean that they won't try to find another suitable island.

I totally agree! Lots of islands in the Bahamas and Caribbean.

Its already been publicly nixed.

For any second island? I would think with potentially three to four ships in that area (1 there 2x a week) they would need a second island.
