Today on Disney Parks Blog, Imagineer Joey Gaskins shared a first look at Disney’s new island destination, Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point on the island of Eleuthera. It opens this summer and is less than half an hour by plane from my home in Nassau. This beautiful destination will offer a window into the rich culture, warm hospitality, and breathtaking natural beauty of The Bahamas.
Are you wondering about how this special island destination comes to life? Joey Gaskin gives us a glimpse of the inspiration and stunning architecture of Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point.
Cabanas
Do you see those vibrant colours and patterns a Bahamian artist designed dotting Disney Lookout Cay’s beautiful shores? Those are the Mabrika Cove Cabanas, which will be available for families to relax and play along the white sand and turquoise Bahamian waters.
Among the first sights guests will see when approaching Disney Lookout Cay are the colourful cabanas, which set the tone for the vibrant and beautiful architecture throughout the island destination.
Prices for the Cabanas were released in January.
True-True Too BBQ
Walt Disney Imagineering designed the architecture throughout Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point to resemble a series of colourful, oversized seashells scattered along the coastline. From these beautiful decks under the shade of a shell-inspired pavilion, you’ll enjoy some tasty lunch from True-True Too BBQ while taking in the beautiful views of the ocean and sand dunes.
Can you spot some nature-inspired art under the pavilion? That is just a peek of the art that will fill these beautiful spaces drawn from the coral, seashells, fish and flowers that inform the architecture and inspire Eleuthera’s local artists.
Tram Stop
Another early sight of Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point is one of our tram stops. This space will soon be filled with bright colours that will light up the destination, inspired by the warmth of Bahamian art and culture. Expect hair braiding, merchandise and lots of fun.
