Lunch at Cookie’s BBQ

Cookie’s BBQ located on Castaway Cay is the main restaurant on Disney’s private island. There are two other dining locations: Cookie’s Too and Serenity Bay BBQ that also provide guests with meals during their visit on Castaway Cay. On our recent cruise in January 2020, we enjoyed a lunch at Cookie’s BBQ, which is the recommended location for all guests with special dietary needs (because it’s the location that accommodates pre-ordered meals). We always look forward to a BBQ lunch at Cookie’s!

Lunch at Cookie’s BBQ

Cookie’s BBQ is one of three restaurants on Castaway Cay, Disney’s private island. On our recent 3-day cruise on the Disney Dream, we had lunch at Cookie’s BBQ, which is the main restaurant on the island, and the location that handles special dietary needs requests. On our last two cruises, we’ve pre-ordered our lunches, and this has worked really well for us. So, Cookie’s BBQ is our go-to spot to eat.

Lunch at Cookie’s BBQ

Cookies’s BBQ is a buffet style BBQ restaurant located on Castaway Cay, Disney’s private island. On our October 2018 3-day cruise on the Disney Dream, Castaway Cay was one of our ports of call. Both Brandon and I adore Castaway Cay, so we were so thrilled to be heading there again. On our previous cruise, we had a rather mediocre lunch at Serenity Bay BBQ at the adults only beach area. And, this cruise, we decided to go to Cookie’s BBQ for additional options and better handling of special dietary needs.
