Disney at Sea: Your Guide to Cruising with Little Ones

Disney at Sea: Your Guide to Cruising with Little Ones

Posted on September 24, 2024September 25, 2024 by Tracy

Welcome aboard, Disney Cruise Line adventurers! Let’s explore how to make your magical voyage with little ones as enchanting as possible.

Stateroom Enchantment

Before you set sail, visit your Disney Cruise Line website or app (My Reservations > Special Requests) to conjure up these complimentary items:

  • Bed guard for the single sofa bed perfect for wiggly little princes and princesses.
  • Pack n Play complete with a fitted sheet, but leave the cot bumper at your castle.

Once onboard, your Stateroom Host or Guest Services can assist with these extra sprinkles of pixie dust:

  • Bottle warmers for perfectly temperate baby beverages
  • Diaper disposal units keep your stateroom fresh as a Neverland breeze

Disney Dining Delights

  • Do you have special dietary wishes? Disney chefs can whip up pureed foods faster than you say, “Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo!” Just remember to make your requests on the first night.
  • High chairs and booster seats are ready and fit for young royalty.

Family Fun Zones

  • D Lounge and Luna are a treasure trove of Disney entertainment, offering a variety of games, karaoke, and activities. It’s the perfect place for your little night owls to have fun, and it’s open late, so the excitement never ends! Promenade Lounge: Enjoy live music in a setting as relaxed as Baloo on a lazy river.
  • Funnel Vision is where you can watch Disney favourites on the pool deck under the stars. Wrap up your little ones and enjoy a hot chocolate or a grown-up drink while they slumber.

Stroller Suggestions

The corridors are narrow, especially during stateroom service times. We recommend bringing a compact stroller or borrowing one from Guest Services (with a refundable deposit).

  • Nemo’s Reef is a splash area for the youngest cruisers; swim diapers are required if they are not potty trained.
  • The main pools are for potty-trained children only—it’s a US Public Health rule; not even Merlin can change it!
  • The onboard shops are stocked with baby necessities, but feel free to bring your preferred enchanted items.
  • Sealed baby food and formula are welcome aboard – no magic wand required!
  • Join the Diaper Dash – a delightful crawling race for babies!
