    I’m wondering about life jackets for smaller children for a tender to go to shore and for excursions involving a boat. Do guests bring there own or are they available?

    Ahoy there, Donna!

    Welcome aboard, planDisney! A Very Merrytime Cruise this December is the most magical way to celebrate the SEAson. I love getting in the holiday spirit with my favorite carols, the characters in their festive attire, Christmas crafts, and all the special entertainment. Disney always knows how to make this time of year the best, even on the high seas. 

    Donna, Disney Cruise Line puts safety first for their Guests. Any tender boat or splashtacular port adventure will have life jackets for Guests of every size due to maritime laws. Small children are not required to wear them on the tender. There will be complimentary flotation devices on the pool decks and Disney's private destinations, Disney Castaway Cay and Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point

    A holiday sailing you'll always remember will be here before you know it, Donna. Be sure to have the Disney Cruise Line Navigator app downloaded before you arrive at the port so you can have all the festive fun at your fingertips. My favorite way to kick off a Very Merrytime Cruise is with Mickey & Minnie's Merrytime Tree Lighting! It's quite a magical sight from every deck in the Grand Hall or Lobby Atrium. Be sure to arrive early to grab the perfect spot to see the lights sparkle and shine for the first time. 

    Thank you for your question, Donna. Please let us know if you have any others before your magical turn aboard Disney Cruise Line!
