Disney Dining: Legal Storm Builds as Disney To Enforce New Ban Across Cruise Line
Picture this: you’re soaking in the sun on the white sands of Disney’s Castaway Cay on a Disney Cruise Line. You lather on your sunscreen, trusting it’s protecting both your skin and the environment. But what if the label claiming it’s “reef friendly” isn’t true?
That’s the unsettling reality surfacing now, as major sunscreen companies face mounting legal pressure for misleading environmental claims. And with destinations like Lighthouse Point and other tropical ports on the Disney Cruise Line itinerary, this could directly affect what guests should bring on board.
In California, the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office has launched a series of civil lawsuits against some of the biggest names in the sunscreen industry. The focus? Brands that labeled their chemical sunscreens as safe for reefs—without the science to back it up.
