Hi there, Caitlin!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! I am so glad you sailed by with your question about your Disney Cruise Line vacation! If you are thinking about
excursions, then your
Online Check-In and onboard activity booking window must be fast approaching! It always seems to take forever for that day to arrive, but once it does, your vacation will be here before you know it!
We have been cruising with Captain Mickey with our boys since they were both under one year old, so I understand the challenge in fining excursions where you all fit within the age restrictions! You can most definitely leave one – or all three – of your kiddos onboard in the
Youth Clubs while the grown ups go explore on land! The Oceaneer Club and Lab will be open early in the day so that you can check your older two into before meeting onboard for your organized excursion. They will even serve lunch during lunchtime if you will be gone during lunchtime. While you do not need to make reservations for them in the Oceaneer Club or Lab, I always alert the Youth Counselors if we will be leaving the ship so that they are aware we will not be reachable via wave phone or through the
Navigator app. Your littlest Mouseketeer will need to go to the “it’s a small world” nursery! onboard and you DO need to make reserve time there. This can be done online once you book your excursion and I recommend doing so as soon as possible to secure your spot in the nursery.
Wishing you a magical adventure at sea!
Happy Sailing!
Stephanie
