Welcome back, Lindsay! First of all, I have to congratulate you on potty-training your 18-month old already! What a great accomplishment! Doesn't that simplify your life? I remember when we said goodbye to daytime diapers! I was one happy mommy, that's for sure!
Disney Cruise Line only allows children who are potty trained to use the pools onboard. Swim diapers are not allowed in the pools. You can read more about the
Pool Usage and Toilet Training Policy on Disney Cruise Line's website. Since it sounds like your daughter fits this category, she can splash and play along with the rest of the family in the pools! There are also special toddler splash areas for those young children who are wearing swim diapers and not potty trained. She is certainly welcome to enjoy those spaces as well, as they are tailored just for her age. If you're on the Dream or Fantasy, that space is
Nemo's Reef, and was a favorite of my son when he was a toddler! With water spouts and geysers all around, fun interactive water sprayers, and a small toddler slide on Mr. Ray, you may even find that your daughter likes Nemo's Reef better than the pools anyway! Both the Magic and the Wonder offer smaller versions of toddler splash areas. The new
Nephew's Splash Zone on the Magic is so cute and fun for toddlers, and the littlest cruisers will also have fun on the Wonder at Mickey's Splash Zone.
Your little one has all sorts of wet and wild water play options when you set sail, Lindsay! Have fun planning!
