Hi there, Claire! Welcome to planDisney! When my son was younger, he loved Disney's Oceaneer
Club and
Lab. In the Oceaneer Club on the
Fantasy, you will find play rooms such as Andy's Room and Pixie Hollow. There are also Star Wars and Super Hero Trainings. In the Lab, kids can get creative in the Animator's Studio or watch Disney movies in the Media Room. Young Mouseketeers ages 3 and 4 can participate in guided activities just for them.
The first Open House usually occurs on embarkation day and will last until before the muster drill starts. The Open House times on the other days can vary, so you will need to check the
Disney Cruise Line Navigator app once you embark. During regular hours of operation, Guests 11 years and older will not be able to go into the Club or Lab, as you mentioned. If your daughter does decide to stay there without you, the counselors will contact you if she changes her mind and wants you to pick her up. She may meet someone she wants to play with, though!
I hope that this helps, Claire. There may be some videos on social media that you can show her to get you both excited. If you have any other Disney planning questions, sail back to visit us at
