Thanks for liking and subscribing - we can't wait to bring you more fun! Make sure you ring that notification bell so you never miss a video!
I love that Molly and Alan research why things are so we all can better understand verses just complaining like many others do. Their philosophy of not being the first but being informed is so refreshing! Thank you Mammoth Club 😊
Exactly! I stumbled upon this channel a few months ago and now it's clearly a favorite!
💯 they’re my favorite Disney vloggers because of those reasons
Yes, another example is Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. The research and thoughtfulness that went into the video/vlog was unparalleled.
My favorite theme park vloggers. I'm glad they frequently visit universal and other places as well. They keep it fun and interesting.
Exactly they r the best. ❤
Lets be honest, no one does it like mamoth club.
As a nature and conservation girlie through and through, I absolutely ADORE that Disney made that little walkway so they wouldn't dredge up the coral reefs in the area! Those are SO important to the ocean's ecosystem. I do agree that they should have put up little signs explaining that and explaining what local wildlife live there and depend on the coral reefs. If I ever get lucky enough to go on a Disney cruise and visit there I will be the weird girl trying to see if I can see any animals in the water and taking way too long to get across the walkway lol
as an aunt myself, i TOTALLY agree with your parenting observations regarding strollers and sugar fixing everything!
As a parent of three, an aunt to 6, a great aunt to 5, and a bonus aunt to many I can also confirm sugar and strollers are very helpful in fixing all the problems that come with taking young children places. Teenagers also tend to respond well to sugar and opportunities to be lazy.
Totally bribe my kiddo with Mickey Bars NO REGRETS
OMG the flies on that buffet. Holy cow. That's ridiculous!!
Otherwise, great video guys, as usual. You're one of my favorite channels to watch Mammoth Club ❤
Current reports are that the fly problem has been resolved.
I agree with Molly. Add some signs about the island and the critters that are in the water and around the island. At each one add a shade canopy and a bench. Put some education in the stroll.
Yes! The signs like the decade facts ones at POP Century would be perfect there
I sure hope that fly and wasp situation gets resolved soon. Hopefully they can figure out a way to. If castaway cay and coco cay can control the fly situation I’m sure lighthouse point will soon.
I appreciate that you clearly did your homework on all the elements of Lookout Cay before you got there and could speak more eloquently on the cultural and environmental aspects - versus just walking around and pointing the camera at things. Gold star. :)
I have watched a few other you tubers who have done videos here. They talked about the long walk to the island but you guys were the only ones to tell us WHY it's like that. This is why I love your channel. Oh and I can't wait to go there!!
I love the info regarding the long walk on the pier because I know a lot of people were upset but conservation is way more important! ❤ Signs definitely would have been helpful in explaining this
I have mobility issues so when I first saw the dock I was concerned, but my next thought was "I bet there's a reef there." Yes I wish it was shorter, but I personally put protecting reefs above my desire to lay on the beach, especially as they do have transport for people with mobility difficulties. If they damaged the reef there would have been way more uproar than the walk has caused.
I agree signs would have helped a lot. Maybe some sculptures of the local sea creatures would have been cool and helped break up the intimidating sight of the walkway. Just something to make it look less industrial.
It looks like one mile.
@@Teresasaparetime3110it’s a half mile, according to some other vloggers.
It is exactly a mile one way.
I think the Bahamian theming is so on-point, and I really like that they contacted Bahamian locals for the design and educational aspect. The costuming on the characters is 🤌🏻. I did scream when I saw the buffet and the flies. Caribbean flies are a nighhhttmarrreeee. Had to deal with them in Turks and Caicos. They should set up the sternos with lemon to deter the flies. When they get bad like this, you can't even eat outside. Also, really surprised at that long walk off the boat. There should definitely be a canopy for the entire walk, fans at set points, benches, garbage cans, and perhaps a vendor set up at the halfway point to sell or hand out water.
The Junkanoo celebration was so good! Bahamians don't play around with this, the competition between the teams with the elaborate dancing and drumming and the costuming is cutthroat. If you can catch actual Junkanoo, I would highly recommend it.
Or knowing full well there were all these flys why did they not build indoor areas to get your food? Gee…what a concept!
The Bahamian theming is good yes, but this whole place is very generic and could be for any cruise line as there is nearly zero Disney theming - And isn’t that why folks go on a Disney Cruise? I have not yet been on a cruise, but I would choose Castaway Cay over this for its immersive Disney theming and story.
I know this is petty, but can I just say THANK YOU, Molly! EVERY video from other CZcamsrs I've watched about this destination says Bohemian when describing something from this island. It drives me CrAzY 😂. Molly kept saying Bahamian, which is correct, and THANK YOU, lol. Also, the video was great. Thanks for showing us your experience.
I know exactly what CZcamsrs you’re talking about too😂
@@laurenhinrichs9084 I mean those specific CZcamsrs are notoriously stupid and lazy LOL - unlike Molly and Alan... who put in the work and aren't ignorant!
Agreed!
That’s a very important distinction… I have ancestors from actual Bohemia, but I’m pretty sure no one in my family tree has ever spent more than a few days on vacation in the Bahamas 😂
@@laurenhinrichs9084lol which CZcamsrs is it? Spill the tea please
I am so excited to see you guys explore the new port! I love that with this one, Disney chose to highlight local culture and really bring the spirit of the islands to life in their own way.
Just made it to the section with the specialty drinks. Molly holding her cup looks like she's holding a normal cup for normal sized people. Alan always makes whatever drink he's holding look like it is in a Dixie cup. Sometimes my wife says "those drinks look small" when Alan holds the drinks, and I have to remind her, "look, no, when Molly tries the drink it's back to normal size."
Funny…I was always told to take a long walk on a short pier! 😊 Avast! 🏴☠️
My 8 year old son has some physical limitations (he's fine in small chunks, but does not have the stamina), so we asked about a golf cart for the walkway when we got on the ship. At that point, they told me they did not have all the details for that yet, but took my information and would let me know. Well, that never happened, which I won't complain about since they are just figuring things out. We knew the walk there would be okay for him, and that kid seriously left us in the dust. He then met Molly and Alan on the island, which was a highlight of the trip. We were very happy to have access to a wagon on the way back, though, because by that time, he did not have the stamina for the walk.
Another great and informative video. Thank you. I love how Alan compares the distance of the walk to Epcot. Well done.
Shout out to Disney for providing so many creative local jobs, and not just food & bevie service jobs! 💃🏼
MAM content is just superior. Chef kiss. No notes.
When Allen describes food & bevies as ‘refreshing’ gives me the feels every time 🥰
Another great video! Totally love Molly’s videos. I like how informative the video is with suggestions for some of the challenges. Some Disney vloggers have gotten to be so negative. This channel is so refreshing. Plus love that you know the difference between Bohemian and Bahamian 😂
Me, a parent: laughs at Molly's parenting advice
Also me: bribed my kid with a donut this morning
@@GiddyGarlic90 This is the way. 😉
This is totally random but Molly is always rockign the Quay glasses!! My favorite brand of all time!!! Thank you for showing us Lookout Cay!
As a parent, yes strollers and sugar do indeed fix everything 😂
Totally agree with everyone appreciating your explanation of the long walkway, your focus on nature and culture, and your balanced review of the pros and cons. This is why I support and watch everything you post and click away from most other creators.
I’m looking forward to Lookout one day. I want to say that my husband and I in our 50’s were sat with two other couples. When I tell you I don’t know how Disney does it but we had an absolutely fabulous time for our seven days! We all had adult children the same ages. The stories we told! 😂 When one couple wasn’t there perhaps because of specialty dining we were so sad. Then the next night they would say it was very nice but would think only if so and so were here. Wonder what they’re eating? Lol!! We were kicked out every night laughing until our stomachs hurt. 😂
Hey Molly and Allen, you should do a concierge room review. For one, you will definitely get that Cabana you’ve always wanted Molly! It would be good for everyone to know about how the concierge gets you personal booking, first dibs on port adventures, and a different room experience. It would be really good to position as a once in a lifetime splurge vs. an everyday booking. It really is an interesting experience, so fun, and really different between each class of ship.
Loved the video. There’s no way I could eat the food though.
Molly I have to tell you this! You are so beautiful with make up but by golly you are stunning with out girl ❤❤❤ love your videos 🎉🎉
The QUALITY of content (both educational and entertaining) from mammoth club is literally unmatched. Top tier human beings and hands down the least basic Disney content creators out there. Thank you for always being so inclusive and transparent in the content you share. I feel like Disney should be taking notes from y’all. Lol ❤️🦣✨
If you go now you will see that the flies are a lot better than the first two sailings
My friend from college was one of the producers for the song - really proud of him! Wonderful human!
My family is headed here in a couple weeks. We’ve watch ALL the vlogs out there on Lookout Cay. You guys do the best job out there covering the details and providing really useful info (plus the adult drink lowdown!) Great job and thanks!
Enjoy!!!
"This will keep me...regular?" I snorted. 😂 I don't understand why they couldn't put similar coverings over the walkway like they had in the eating areas.
coming from a Dietitian enjoy your coffee, it does count as hydration !! I only would consider alcohol to not be hydrating.
Your review of all that I have seen has been the best and most thorough! GREAT JOB MAMMOTH CLUB!!
I love the goofy movie music 😂 I can't even believe that's almost 30 yrs.
Dang that piano player/singer is awesome af!!
Appreciate that you both ordered, described, and honestly reviewed some of the vegetarian options on the menu at Animator's Palate. Thanks for letting us see the items and giving us honest comments...especially those pursettes. ;-)
for a company RENOWNED for their fun transportation methods, i just don’t understand why they couldn’t find a solution for the giant walkway. like, universal has a covered walkway to get from the parking garage to citywalk
Not building any shade on the walkway was a wild choice
Adding shade would have been so easy 😅 its definitely not the length that's the issue it's the lack of shade in a very hot, sunny place where people are already going to be making bad choices
Yeah I’m hoping they fix the shade issue. I think that’s really the main concern. I think after that the walk should be fine for those that can access it
and like to be clear… i totally get it and dont want them to destroy a coral reef. i also dont want to complain just to complain. but just bring the imagineers in and do the thing disney is known for!! if im on vacation, i would love a unique means of conveyance (cmon, peoplemover, parking tram, a TRAIN?? i dont care but its literally right there)
@@emilyjones9859it’s so bizarre to me that trams are available once you’re onshore, but first you have to schlepp a half a mile on concrete in the blazing hot sun. That was badly thought out.
Always the most thoughtful take and perspective! I love your point about the signage on the pier. Something like a “Your walk is helping to protect my home. Love the (insert adorable sea creatures here)” with a little factoid or two sign
Yay! I’ve been waiting for this!
I approve more Powerline music being incorporated in Disney events/parades :D
Molly never fails with her videos
I love your pirate night dress Molly!! You look fabulous!!!
Loved the incorporation of so many cultural elements!
I need the link to Molly's dress on pirate night! I love it, so cute! And of course Molly got the Black Truffle purseittes lol
Came here looking for a link!
Great video. I love the banter between you two. You’re the cutest. I also love all the extra info you provide about the different destinations. I learn so much watching your videos .
I would skip all of the food on the island. I can't deal with sharing my lunch with a pile of flies.
I was on this same sailing and met Molly and Alan at the Sail A Wave party. For our Lookout day (June 20th), my family had brunch at Cabana’s, skipped all food on the island and had dinner on the ship. We weren’t interested in eating with the flies.
I would love to see you cruise concierge once. You get free cocktails in the lounge at night, sometimes they will let you go to Palo more than once, and most importantly, you get first dibs on the island cabanas. It is outrageously expensive, but manageable on a short cruise for a really special occasion, and it is a very different experience to share with the many people who won't ever get to do it. Plus you will be seated by hourself at meals.
Can confirm about the dinner seating! The last time we went as a small party (just my husband and I), we were seated with some other couples without children (as we had non at the time) in our same age range.
Yes, it is definitely been Disneyfied! I lived in the Bahamas for three years and that was the most covered I have ever seen people be during Junkanoo!
Another outstanding video! Thanks for taking us along with you as you explore the new Island! 🏝️ It looks like it has some amazing features and has a lot to offer!
The Flies!!!!!!! Got to figure that one out……
Awesome video! Thanks for the overview of Lookout Cay!
Never avast being your fabulous selves!! 😜
Love your dress for pirate night!!!
I ❤ how you let us hear the tram telling us bout the Island n just how you narrate is wonderful to listen to plus informative. N Molls ❤❤❤ the black n white dress adorable n Alan's shirt perfect match. ❤u guys
Forget about the beach---I'm all about Molly's old fashioned with bacon---showing moments like this is why I keep coming back for more Mammoth Club high jinks!
The ship’s captain is hopping mad! 😂
I can't get passed all the flies on the food!! I'm sure you guys struggled a bit with that too. The food looked great though. Hope you had the best time!!
With the flies situation, I prefer eating on the ship. I much prefer eating on the ship until the fly situation gets resolved.
Great job showing the pros and how special the island is! The island looks so pretty and I love how empty it was. I also loved how you approached the cons…as usual, you two are wonderful.
I love Molly's style so much! Great Video Mammoth Club :)
Mmmm…Carved chicken and flies….. Uncle Fester would love that!
Good morning! 🎉
Thank you so much for ANOTHER great video !! This was just shared in our Feb 2025 cruise group to help folks prepare. LOVE THE MAM FAM !
The BEST Disney experience channel on CZcams ❤
Land of the flies ...you guys are more daring than I to eat that food.
Great video
Imagine what the waves are like on that bridge during a stormy day
Excellent content where we can appreciate the research and work you all put into this so that I won’t be complaining as much about that long walk. It definitely helps to know why. Thanks again you all!
You guys are too cute. Another great video. The Island actually looks really nice. Can't wait to be there one day.
I appreciate you taking one for the team. There is no way I would eat there. I couldn’t get past the flies. I agree that they will figure it out eventually. The beach looks beautiful
Some see through windows on the long walkway to the island would be cool too. Like a glass bottom boat to see the animals!
As a Kentucky girlie I love that you all love bourbon!
Loved this video! Very fun and informative as always from you guys! We will be sailing there in April so hopefully the fly problem will be fixed by then but very excited to go to this beautiful island!!
So we can build an infinity pier from the cruise ship to the Lookout Cay Beach. But we can’t build a pedestrian bridge to permit military families and retirees to cross the road separating the Polynesian Resort and Shades of Green Resort.
They don't want us military riff raff at the Polynesian.
You guys are hilarious! One of my new fave travel CZcams channels!
Weird. Definitely not pink sand from "insect" shells, as the narrator says, lol, but foraminifera and corals. Thanks for braving the flies, though. Pretty gruesome in large numbers. And aperol spritz! I'm with Molly this time.
I want to go! My 5 year old watched with me and said, “This walkway actually never ends.” 😂 A stroller would indeed be helpful. 😊
Love your videos. I do think signs would be helpful for that walk, and a little shade like at Coco Cay. I’m sure they’ll add some of that as they get more feedback.
I do love how culture -forward Lookout Cay is! It’s so beautiful. But I still think Castaway is better.
Also yes. There is NEVER a wrong way to speak pirate 😂
I think the next merch drop needs “we avast!” on it for sure. Haha
Thanks for all the info! Food hack--get the rice dish and the rotisserie chicken and add more chicken to the dish!!!
Thanks :)
Love your honest and thorough review of Lighthouse point! I love the history and details you gave about the island and why they design things the way they did. Pirate night is always the best and you guys nailed it with your attire! MOLLY THAT DRESS ❤ Looking forward to being back on Disney Magic in Sept! The only thing that shocked me about this video…you SKIPPED dessert!! 😱
Absolutely loved your video. You always bring the best information. Myself NO WAY could I eat food where so many flies are and landing on the food. Ultimate disgusting. Hopefully Disney is listening to the unanimous complaints of the insects and quickly does something about it. 🤢🥴🤢🥴
Why is Alan picking Muppets Treasure Island my favorite part of this 😅🏴☠️
Hi Molly and Alan thank you so much for your video. I'm a cast member at Magic Kingdom.
A great review!! We just got off the Magic yesterday and visited Lookout Cay, and I couldn’t agree more with your review. The beach itself is one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen and the water is so lovely. The walk there in the AM really not bad and we had a nice breeze. But it is summer, and the walk back at the end of the day was brutal. I hope that Disney figures something out to make it better, perhaps a fleet of continuously running golf carts so that anyone who would like to can hop on? I’m happy to report the fly situation at True True BBQ is much improved. Can’t wait to sail again!! 🚢❤️
I'm not fighting flies for food and bees for drinks and ice cream. They can have it.
I’m glad you were able to show Lookout Point, but I wish y’all could go back and do one of the Bahamian culture excursions.
Lord of the flys 😅
The flies around the food.
My fiance and I started watching your videos and you guys are great!!! Neither of us were raised on Disney but we find the videos so informative and the depths of the fan culture are great. We love the detail!!!
Kudos to you guys for trying that food and giving us the review on Lookout Cay.
I would have had to skip out on that one. I really hope they can figure that out because that’s a big turn off.
This gives a new meaning to-we try things so you don’t have to.
Coffee does count as hydration ☕️
I haven’t seen a single thing that makes me want to visit Lookout Cay. Honestly I don’t think I’d even want to get off the ship if I were to visit Lookout Cay right now.
That's a sad mentality, especially since these are Bahamians that are getting work, educating tourists, and sharing their islands and their culture. Outside of the built up areas in the Bahamas, people don't make much money, and are very reliant on tourism. To say something like this is extremely insulting to the Bahamian people.
Say it again there’s nothing about this island worth getting off for. I go on vacation to enjoy myself not a charity meet as these previous poster suggested
@@CampbellzS0upa “charity meet”? Aka you want to remain ignorant to the world around you.
I was on this sailing (June 19-22), and I agree. I don’t need to revisit Lookout. It will be a ship day for us if it’s part of a future sailing.
@@KalEL224 If that’s what you took from my comment then I can’t help you.
Sugar and a small drum kit yeah? That fixes everything :p
Molly, you gotta try the red skin potato salad in the deli area @ Publix....yum!
Raisin Bran is delicious! Alan, I am here for you, and I personally prefer "making" my own by combining Wegman's bran flakes (they are extra thin) and adding my own preferred amount of raisins.
Molly's jaw drop at 58:35 😂
