Disney Lookout Cay: It’s in the Details

We’re continuing our deep dive of Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point, starting with how it’ll immerse guests in the spirit of The Bahamas. From the minute guests first enter the welcome area at Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point, Mabrika Cove, they’ll see a destination bursting with rich Bahamian culture.

Walt Disney Imagineering collaborated with local artists to reflect the essence of The Bahamas in the design and experiences at Disney Lookout Cay. Here, guests will find themselves surrounded by Bahamian nature and culture, with venues built to reflect the natural wonders and traditions of the chain of islands.

Who doesn’t love finding seashells on the beach? At Disney Lookout Cay, the dramatic structures are designed to resemble giant, colorful seashells scattered along Eleuthera’s coastline.

Bright, Bahamian-inspired art greets guests in the dining pavilions, bars and the Goombay Cultural Center, which might quickly become their favorite place at Disney Lookout Cay.

This brilliantly colored pavilion celebrates the rich history of The Bahamas and houses a wide range of programming, including the “Sights and Sounds of Junkanoo” family workshop, where local artisans will teach guests all about Junkanoo, the signature festival of The Bahamas filled with colorful parades, dancing and music.

As guests explore Disney Lookout Cay, they should look around for more local touches. Bahamian artists inspired and created beautiful art installations, which are on display throughout the destination.
