Long renowned for its youth programs, Disney Cruise Line has reimagined the onboard experience for all ages with exciting new spaces and activities on Disney Dream.

For the smallest sailors from 3 months to 3 years old, It’s A Small World Nursery, inspired by the famous attraction in the Disney Parks, offers a safe and playful environment.

The central rotunda of Disney’s Oceaneer Club is not only an interactive stage, its ceiling sparkling with Disney constellations, but leads to other lands:

• Andy’s Room: kids can play with larger-than-life characters from Toy Story and even climb up on Andy’s bed to watch a movie
• Monster’s Academy: Mike and Sully host all of children’s favorite activities – climbing, dressing up in costumes, and playing computer games
• Pixie Hollow: Tinkerbell and friends invite kids to pull up a mushroom and enjoy crafts and storytelling, then play dress-up
• Disney’s Explorer Pod: the Nemo Sub is the centerpiece of this undersea-inspired land where virtual worlds come to life

Disney’s Oceaneer Lab offers supervised activities, toys, games, and movies with opportunities to learn some new skills in specially-designed areas for animation, gaming, music, exploration, crafts, and just kicking back.

The main hall connecting the Lab and the Club boasts a huge 102” plasma screen features Disney movies and interactive fun with Crush and Stitch.  It’s the place where kids can learn to be a pirate and be the star in a pirate play.

A workshop and laboratory are the venues for experimentation, both scientific and culinary.

Passengers from 11 to 13 years old will have access to Edge, the cool loft lounge in the forward funnel, where they can dance, socialize, enjoy the giant eighteen-foot video wall; even pose for spectacular photo postcards in three green-screen rooms.

There’s more than 9.000 square feet of  indoor and outdoor space for teens from 14 to 17 at Vibe, where key-card technology keeps it private; sunbathing areas, video games, a 103” plasma screen, even a juice/coffee/smoothie bar, keep it fun.
