In an industry first, Disney is reinventing the children’s experience, and will no longer have groups of children’s programs based on age. This could be a key selling point with families with smaller children who no longer have to be separated from their older siblings.
Both the Oceaneer Club and Oceaneer Lab will be open to all age children ages 3 to 12, and the activities will be divided by interests rather than age. There will be more than 100 activities, events and programs for children of all ages, which only means more choices than ever before. Mouseketeer Training, Cinderella’s Royal Ball, So You Want to be a pirate and Ratatouille Cooking School are just some of the amazing activities to choose from.
And those are just the children-only offerings. Disney stage productions, family activities, first-run films in digital 3-D, poolside movies, deck parties, a family club and the Castaway Cay Family Beach provide even more opportunities for families to make memories together.
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
