    We're traveling on a Disney Cruise with a 2 1/2 year old and would like to use the daycare so the adults can take an excursion. The childcare center starts at 9 but the excursions start at 8 AM! What do we do?

    Welcome back to planDisney, Terry! I hope you and your family are getting excited about your upcoming Disney Cruise Line sailing.

    I love the youth activity spaces on Disney Cruise Line. "it's a small world" nursery! is great for the youngest Guests on Disney Cruise Line. The expert Disney counselors will take good care of your toddler, and this service is at an additional cost. While 9:00 AM is the typical opening time for the nursery, it can change based on the ship and time of arrival in the Port of Call. Because you have an early excursion, it is possible that the nursery will be opening early on that port day.

    Space is limited, so plan to book your reservation when your advance booking window opens. You can also check for availability once you embark. Since you plan on debarking your ship, make sure that the Disney counselors have the best contact information for you before you leave. All personal items, like extra clothing, need to be labeled with your child's name.

    Terry, if you have any other questions, planDisney would love to help you again. Sail back with your questions anytime.

    Adventure is out there!
