I also think Castaway is overrated, not because I don’t love it, I do, but because at the end of the day it’s just an island in a tropical paradise. There’s nothing inherently Disney about it. It feels authentic, which might just be the Disney touch, but I don’t see why another line couldn’t replicate it.I'm looking forward to Lightouse point more now... Castaway has always seemed a bit overrated to me (I first visited 2019 or so) and whilst the principles seems quite copy and paste I think I am going to like the 'authentic' design more than Castaway and also it seems like there are more activities to do (the cultural centre etc.) than their is on Castaway. I do wonder how long this will all last but hopefully it is part of the deal with the island that they have to have some level of cultural exchange.
I've always got the tram to the adult area of Castaway so having to get one doesn't bother me. Never really had to wait or don't mind walking if necessary.
I think the only miss is the lack of the adventure course/area that was on the original plans. I thought that would have been another thing to differentiate from Castaway and also appeal to me. I would say it could happen as a Phase 2 but we know those never happen.
I agree for Lighthouse. I don’t want a Castaway v2, but also don’t want a Cocoa Cay. Something in between would be nice.
