Hi there, Damian!
Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! The countdown IS on! Your
Land and Sea vacation will be here before you know it and I know you must be so very excited for the fun that you are going to have both at Walt Disney World Resort AND onboard!
There are complimentary life vests available for children to use onboard and at Castaway Cay for you to use so no need to bring your own! There are a couple different sizes to choose from and readily available for you to use as needed! On the pool decks, they are located in a couple different places near the pools and on both Family Beaches at Castaway Cay. While there are plenty to go around, I do recommend grabbing one early in the day and holding on to it so that you have the size you need, especially at Castaway Cay where more children use life vests than at the pools! Leave those puddle jumpers and floaties at home saving room for fun souvenirs to remember your trip by!
Did you know that
Castaway Cay has an Youth Club at the beach?! My boys love visiting Scuttle's Cove with their favorite counselors from the Oceaneer Club and Lab and splashing around in the water! They do get to play in water features at the Youth Club, but there are not any pools there so you don’t need to worry about any non-swimmers! Just a great place for them to play and you to get some downtime – maybe even at Serenity Bay!
Have the most magical time at Walt Disney World Resort AND onboard, Damian! Sooner than you think you will be on your way for a fun and memorable adventure!
Happy Sailing!
