Only a Disney family cruise can take little cruisers on a daily voyage to a world devoted to fun and fantasy...Disney Cruise Line has some of the most extensive children's facilities sea.A Disney family cruise on both the Disney Magic and Disney Wonder offer an elaborate Walt Disney Theater that resembles a plush, Broadway house. Buena Vista Cinema features Disney flicks. Studio Sea is styled like a television sound stage and offers a forum for G-rated floor shows. These ships also offer a children's program called Oceaneer Adventure for children aged 3-17 and a nursery facility, Flounder's Reef, for children age three and under. Age-specific activities guaranteed to transport young minds to the edge of their imagination. As an added convenience, parents are given pagers so families are always in touch. All onboard programs are organized and run by caring youth counselors and have both scheduled and surprise visits by Disney characters every day. Disney Age-Specific Programs
Oceaneer Adventure is divided into three age-specific categories:
The Club program is further divided into ages 3-4 and 5-7. The Lab program is divided into 8-10 and 11-12. The Oceaneer Club facilities resemble Captain Hook's pirate ship with plenty of places for activity. Oceaneer Lab allows participants to experience high-tech interactive programs, hands-on science experiments, and ship-wide treasure hunts. Kids 11-12 can compete in a marine biology, knowledge-quest game show and send digital post cards to friends. Teens (13-17) have their own private club, occupying a large portion of deck nine, called Common Grounds - a New York-style coffee house complete with game arcade and Internet Cafe. In Port Activities
Every Disney family cruise stops at the 1,000-acre private island, Castaway Cay.
Here, parents can relax under a palm tree on a white sand beach while their children play in a supervised area or wade in a protected lagoon. The adventuresome can go snorkeling on a course littered with tropical fish, treasure chests and faux shipwrecks (one with Mickey Mouse riding on the bow). Children are automatically enrolled in the island's activities of volleyball, biking, nature hikes, etc. once signed in on the ship. Babysitting
Children's facilities are open from 9:00AM to 1:00AM. Flounder's Reef nursery has afternoon and nightly hours available on a first-come, first-served basis according to babysitter availability. Rates are $6/hour for the first child and $5/hour for additional children. View more on Disney Cruise Lines.
