Moving on now to other “common” areas around the ship.
This is the entrance to the Quiet Cove Adult Pool. One great thing about the Disney Cruise ships is they all have adult only areas. And they adhere to them!
Yes, this pool has its own bar.
Another adult only area is Satellite Falls. This is hands down my favorite area to be when I’m kid free on the Dream or the Fantasy!
You can’t see good in this picture, but all around the perimeter are padded loungers. And there’s a glass wall to block the wind.
This next picture is showing the Mickey Slide and Mickey’s Pool. Above you can see the AquaDuck slide.
At the other end of this area is Donald’s Family Pool. (not pictured) There’s also a big screen where they play movies throughout the day.
In case you didn’t know, in order to swim in the regular pools, children must be POTTY TRAINED! NO SWIM DIAPERS! And please, please, please adhere to this. If there’s an accident in the pool, the entire thing is shut down, which is no fun for anyone. So please, just follow the rules! Available for children ages 8 and under is Nemo’s Reef. This is more of a “splash pad,” but is a great option for those kids who wear swim diapers.
From here we moved to the Kid Clubs.
There are a few different age-specific experiences on Disney Cruise ships. For children under the age of 3, group babysitting and play time happens at It’s a Small World Nursery. A small fee DOES apply here!
Children ages 3-12 have the option of going to the Oceaneer Club or the Oceaneer Lab. There are so many activities going on at both of these locations! Here’s a quick summary of the CLUB. And here’s a quick summary of the LAB. One note…your child can participate in a scheduled activity, or they can just go there and find something to do on her/his own. All kids participating will get one of these Magic Bands. They scan this everytime they enter the clubs. One topic I read about often is parents in clubs. The only time parents are permitted inside the club is during “Open House” hours which will be listed on the Navigator (schedule of events for the day).
Oceaneer Club:
On the Dream you have Andy’s Room
Pixie Hollow
Star Wars Millenium Falcon
Disney Infinity Game Room
This is the large room right where you enter. It has a magic floor!
This is the way to get to the Lab once inside the Club. Kids don’t have to walk out in the hallways, as you can get back and forth once inside. This is also where they eat if they are eating a meal in the club.
EDGE:
This club is meant for kids ages 11-14. Unfortunately I got no pictures!
VIBE:
This club is mean for kids ages 14-17. This space was….AMAZING! If I was a kid, I would never leave this space. It has its own sundeck!
Watch this video of Vibe that I took!
Up next…{Day 4} Evening! Magic Kingdom and Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue
