Our friends, Kaitie and Lake from MouseGen, are back with us to discuss their latest cruise on the Disney Wish, featuring Run Disney’s Castaway Cay 5K challenge. Fresh off Marathon weekend at Walt Disney World, they jumped on the Disney Wish for a four night sailing featuring stops in Nassau, and Castaway Cay. This was their second sailing on the Wish, so it was fun to get their perspective on things they hadn’t experienced the first time (like lots of relaxing time spent in the Rain Forest Room of the Spa), along with their second impressions on the rooms, dining, onboard entertainment, and thoughts on some of their favorite lounges. Since this cruise also featured Run Disney’s Castaway Cay 5K Challenge (part of Marathon Weekend at WDW), they also cover what was offered onboard before the race, along with all the race day fun and excitement. So grab your running gear, your sunglasses, and your swim suit (hey, you gotta relax a bit as well!), we’re headed out to sea on the beautiful Disney Wish, with our amazing friends Kaitie and Lake from MouseGen.
