New details released on Disney’s Bahamian Island Lookout Cay
Disney has released new details about Disney’s Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point which is scheduled to debut in the summer 2024.
Here’s a look at what’s coming:
Mabrika Cove – Is the arrival point on the island. Mabrika” means “welcome” in Taino, the language of the Lucayans, who are considered the indigenous people of The Bahamas. While the language is no longer used, a few words remain – one of them being “Mabrika.” At this colorful arrival point, guests will immediately experience the warmth of Bahamian culture.
Goombay Cultural Center – The center will embody the essence of “Junkanoo,” a Bahamian festival filled with joyous music and vibrant parades that will come to life in many ways across Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point. Goombay is one of the traditional music styles of The Bahamas, involving singing, dancing and drumming. The brilliantly colored cultural pavilion and its Junkanoo-inspired arch will invite guests to embrace the traditions of The Bahamas, along with the sights, sounds and spirit of the country’s signature festival.
Triton’s Trumpet Stage – Family entertainment will be performed here. The gazebo’s name is inspired by one of the stunning natural wonders found among the Bahamian beaches – a large, spiraled seashell commonly called “Triton’s Trumpet.” And for you Disney fans, if Triton sounds familiar, you might recognize it as the name of the mighty king from the beloved Disney animated classic “The Little Mermaid.”
Treasures of Eleuthera – This retail shop will feature locally made gifts and artisan crafts.
Serenity Bay – Is the adults-only space on the island and will feature a tranquil beach experience with a dining area and private cabanas available for reservation.
