Where/how do you keep a personal bag safe at Castaway Cay?

[auntlynne]

We don't take anything onto CC except room key and towels. We don't take our phones but I'd probably do a waterproof phone pouch.

Don‘t they require ID to get through the “immigration” checkpoint as you head back to the ship? Not necessarily a passport, though.

Yes. I have never had them check and I have in fact forgotten, but you're officially supposed to have it.

Same here. I always bring an ID, since they tell you to, but they don't always check it. I think maybe once they asked for it, but I can't recall them doing it on most CC visits.

Yes, and a driver's license is fine.

It's always interesting to hear other people's experiences as we have been asked every time over the past few years, both before and after the restart.

^^ Maybe they “check“ mine because I hand it to them.

Oh I forgot about this! We usually stick our drivers license in with the KTTW card.

We made sure to bring our drivers license but they did not check those last week. Heck they didnt even ask for my KTTWC at the check point, they just wanted to see one per room (I did have to present it when boarding the ship so they could tap me in).

Thankyou for all the great responses!

We do have the stingray experience booked mid morning. I am conflicted between finding a spot to leave our bag near that, or walking down further for chairs, then walking back for the stingrays.
Does anyone know if we will be allowed to have our waterproof neck case for that? Might be hard to snorkel with afterwards though

We use a KYSS bag. It locks to the actual lounge chair and is locked closed.

I wore my waterproof case around my neck and it stayed tucked under the little snorkeling air vest they give you.

Love our KYSS bag. Take it anytime we go to the pool or beach.

Ahhhh, I forgot we will be wearing a vest. Thank-you!

I use a kyss bag that I can lock to a lounge chair.

What kind do you use? How many phones does it hold?

We've fit four phones in it plus other little stuff. Pretty useful

Other than my KTTW card and Driver's license which fit in my pocket and are water proof, and our sun screen and sun glasses we didn't take anything off the ship. Phone stays locked in the stateroom safe. That's the beauty of Castaway Cay, no need for cash, you do everything with your KTTW card.

Can I ask as I've never been to CC yet (or on a disney cruise although booked for next year), do you pay for anything on the island such as merch or snorkeling gear with your key to the world card or is it a cash/card payment that's needed?

All is done through KTTW card, no cash needed on CC.

Oh amazing, I don't know why but just presumed the card only worked on the ship and not the island too. Thanks so much

I use a Kyss bag and secure it well to a beach chair.

I’ll add to the chorus, we don’t take anything of value except things that would only hold value to us. But we have never had anyone touch our belongings or even have anyone linger near our belongings. DM is not an early riser, so we usually end up on the far end of the beach, so no one is really passing by except others who have staked out chairs there. Also, DM cannot swim, so we tend to hang out in the ocean on the inland side closer to the beach which happens to be closer to our chair. But even if we didn’t, we still would feel very comfortable with our stuff hanging out by itself. And as other people have mentioned, we do put a towel over our bag but only to keep our iPhones cool.

Have a great cruise!
