Creator's Key Takeaways

I first have to say you guys have far more experience sailing Disney Cruise Line with kids than I do just the sheer number of cruises

all of the Disney ships are fantastic and I haven't even been on all of them so and you know for me I'm never really looking I I I want to pick a ship I haven't done yet

the teenagers have it the best on the dream and the fantasy not that the club not that the activities are any different pool priv they aiv they have this really cool area

I think Disney is a parenting Helper because this is this is hard this is harder with some kids than others

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Pick a ship based on itinerary and your kids' ages, not just the ship itself

✓For families of four, most staterooms work; consider location on the ship to avoid noise and be close to elevators

✓Request a Diaper Genie and pack-and-play before boarding and confirm with your stateroom attendant

✓Prepare kids by showing them videos of the ships, characters, and kids clubs to reduce anxiety

✓For young kids, use the nursery for childcare and make reservations, but walk-up availability may exist

✓Give older kids check-in/check-out privileges and use the Disney Cruise Line app for communication

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Young kids may be overwhelmed by kids club — Start with the nursery for a reset and gradually transition to the kids club; prepare kids for separation

Potty training requirements for pools and slides — Kids must be fully potty trained for pools and water slides; use splash pads for non-potty-trained kids
