Disney Cruise Line Children’s Programs Changes

Disney Cruise Line announced a wonderful new change to their children’s programs! Again, the Disney Difference shows, as Disney introduces a reinvented approach to children’s activities. While the Oceaneer Club and Oceaneer Lab will remain available to children age 3 to 12 on the Disney Wonder and age 3 to 10 on the Disney Magic, children now have the option to personalize their cruise vacation by selecting activities and events, regardless of age.

Disney Cruise Line will recommend activities that appeal to a child’s maturity levels and age, the entire list of offerings will be open to every child. This cutting edge approach to shipboard activities for our children allows children and parents to select programs based on the specific interests of each child. You can create and customized a very personalized experience. The best part of this deal is that it allows families of all ages to do things together.

So, what are some of the offerings? There are more than 100 activities, events and programs to choose from. With all these being open to children of all ages, this gives children have more choices than ever before on Disney Cruise Line.

Right in line with Disney taking what was old and making it new, many experiences draw inspiration from classic Disney stories and popular Disney characters:

• During the new Cinderella’s Royal Ball, young guests can feel like royalty as Cinderella shows them how to be a prince or princess.
• So You Want to be a Pirate offers adventurous tales of the high seas, pirate training for young buccaneers, swashbuckling fun and a special appearance by Captain Hook.
• Children are immersed in the world of Disney-Pixar’s “Toy Story” during Toy Story Boot Camp. Led by Corporal Green, toy recruits participate in interactive activities.

In true Walt Disney manner, hands-on activities appeal to children’s sense of creativity and invention:

• The next great celebrity chef could be discovered at Ratatouille Cooking School, where children work together to bake tasty chocolate chip cookies.
• During the new Animal Tracking Series, children discover that conservation can be fun as they learn about endangered animals, create an animal tracking device and locate (plush) cotton-top tamarin monkeys using telemetry tracking on Castaway Cay.
• In Flubber, one of the most popular youth activities on Disney Cruise Line, children join Professor Goo in creating magical green goo and other interesting concoctions.

Some of the other onboard youth activities include fun programs such as Mouseketeer Training and Little Einsteins for preschoolers; challenge-and solution-games like Stitch’s Great Adventure and Detective School with Goofy; interactive group activities such as Kim Possible: Cruise Control and The Challenge of Davy Jones; and unstructured free time to enjoy the youth areas, play on computers and spend time having fun with new friends.

And, I have to mention another new option that was recently introduced. Dine and Play allows families to enjoy dinner together, then gives kids more time to enjoy youth activities while parents relax at the end of the meal. With Dine and Play, parents may check their children (age 3 to 12) into evening youth activities during second seating in all of the main dining rooms. Families enjoy dinner together, then youth counselors whisk children away to play so the grown-ups can savor some time together in the adult-exclusive areas of the ship.

Disney Cruise Line is again setting the bar, catering to the average family vacation need, and proving again why they are the best cruise line.
