Hi there, Scott!
Ahoy and a BIG welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! I am so excited to “sea” that you are headed out on an adventure with Captain Mickey! Boy, oh, boy you will have so much fun! From the minute you step onboard to that final “See Ya Real Soon!” so many memories will be made, and I am thrilled for you to experience it!
Disney Cruise Line is perfect for Guests of all ages, but the excitement that you will witness from your toddler is unparalleled! Some of my most favorite onboard memories are from when my boys were smaller because they just loved everything about it! Always be prepared with a camera because you never know who you may see and you sometimes those unexpected
character sightings are the most magical and memorable – for all! Disney Cruise Line does an excellent job of ensuring that all Guests are comfortable by providing bed rails, highchairs and boosters and a WIDE variety of “kid approved” food! To my knowledge, they do not provide potty chairs, but I will say that the stateroom bathrooms are incredibly toddler friendly…and this is coming from experience of traveling RIGHT after completing potty-training with BOTH my boys (what was I thinking?!?!)! I did bring my own potty seat with us, but we didn’t end up using it! But, if you feel that your little one will be more comfortable using something they are used to, then definitely bring one with you! I have OFTEN seen potty chairs carried onboard!
If your little one is at least three years old, they can visit the onboard
Oceaneer Club and Lab, but please be advised that they must be fully potty-trained and not in any sort of pull-ups while in the Oceaneer Club or Lab. If they are under three and/or not confidently potty-trained, then they can still visit the
“it’s a small world” nursery! giving you some time to explore the ship without a little one in tow!
Wishing you the most magical and memorable adventure at sea! Remember to have that camera handy!
Happy Sailing!
