Disney Cruise Line Unveils New Outfits for Mickey Mouse and Friends at Lookout Cay

Disney Cruise Line (DCL)  has revealed a full range of new outfits for Mickey Mouse and friends, crafted specifically for their adventures at the highly anticipated private retreat Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point. The new outfits, designed by notable Bahamian fashion designer Theodore Elyett, are infused with the spirit of the local Junkanoo festival, a vibrant and colourful celebration held in the Bahamas between December 26 and New Year’s Day.

Each of the eight new looks created for Donald and Daisy Duck, Goofy, Chip and Dale, Pluto, and Mickey and Minnie Mouse is crafted with traditional Junkanoo motifs in mind. They incorporate vivid designs and intricate details like the fringe seen in Goofy’s vest and the raffia pompoms that adorn the dresses. The outfits capture the essence of the Bahamas and bring out each character’s unique personality. For example, Mickey Mouse rocks a pair of conch shell-themed shorts, Minnie Mouse carries a chic pineapple purse, Daisy Duck is adorned in an oversized straw hat, and Goofy wears playful socks.

“The inspiration for this collection was to blend the exuberant Bahamian culture with the playful spirit of Disney characters, ensuring they felt on vacation, immersed in island style,” said Elyett. “The ‘Junkanoo Fun in the Sun’ series celebrates Bahamian beauty.”

Located on Eleuthera, southeast of Disney’s first private island destination, Castaway Cay, Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point will offer a new shared experience with the local community. The destination promises an array of attractions, from serene adult-only beaches and scenic hiking opportunities to family-friendly beaches and interactive water zones for children.

One of the highlights revealed earlier in the year is the Mabrika Cove Cabanas. These vibrant beachside retreats, also designed by a local Bahamian artist, are positioned to greet guests as they arrive. “Mabrika” means “welcome” in the language of the indigenous people of the Bahamas, the Taino.

Disney also unveiled first-look images of True-True Too BBQ, a dining spot that will serve authentic Bahamian-style BBQ beneath a seashell-inspired pavilion. Even the retail space will be heavily Bahamian influenced. In Treasures of Eleuthera, locally made souvenirs, art, and handiwork will be available for purchase, supporting the residents of Eleuthera.

Guests will first be able to visit Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point during a special 3-night preview cruise on Disney Magic, embarking from Fort Lauderdale’s Port Everglades on June 6, 2024. The ship will continue to offer 3- to 5-night itineraries throughout the season, with longer voyages also calling on Castaway Cay.
