There is a reason why Disney Cruises are the best for families. It’s because of the Disney Cruise Kids Club & Youth Spaces. Disney pulled out all the stops in creating safe spaces for kids and youth to be themselves. These youth areas are state-of-the-art and filled with things to keep them entertained throughout the entire cruise.
Disney Cruise Kids Clubs: Oceaneer, Edge & Vibe
Disney Cruise Kids Club & youth spaces are divided by age and give kids a chance to get away from their parents for some wholesome fun!
Wondering what fun activities your kids might want to do while on a Disney Cruise?
Disney Cruise Oceaneer Club & Lab: Ages 3-12
Disney’s Oceaneer Lab is slightly different on each ship but has one thing in common, the space is all about learning while having fun!
Kids get to explore opportunities to dress up, pretend play, interact with kids their own age, and more.
There are dance parties, character visits, and interactive games!
Those who love arts and crafts will find a space to create.
Disney Movie fans can enjoy watching Disney videos on the big screen TV.
There is always something fun to do in this space whether kids want to be on their own or hang out as a group.
You won’t feel guilty at all about leaving your kids to explore this amazing space that was built just for them!
Pre-registering for Disney Cruise Kids Club
You can either preregister online or at the cruise terminal.
If you fail to preregister, you can also show up on Embarkation Day at the front desk at Disney’s Oceaneer Club or Disney’s Oceaneer Lab.
Parents will be able to explore the space as well at this time.
During the check in process, kids will get a Disney Cruise Line Youth Activities wristband, which grants them access to both Disney’s Oceaneer Club and Disney’s Oceaneer Lab.
Disney Youth Spaces
Disney Youth Club Edge: Ages 11-14
The Edge teen area is also different depending on what ship you are on, but still the perfect place for teens to chill.
Tweens & Teens will be able to connect & meet new friends while engaging in fun activities like board games, video games and daily guided activities.
Those who want to be low-key will enjoy watching the big screen TVs, doing a quiet art activity or just finding a bean bag to enjoy a time to get away from the family.
The Disney youth club will have different activities each night. Sometimes its a craft, other times it is an activity that may have them explore the ship, like a scavenger hunt!
No matter what, your tween or teen is going to love this space that is just for them!
Disney Youth Club Vibe: Ages 14-17
This teen-only hangout is different on each ship, but the “vibe” is the same!
This is a place they will love!
Each Vibe location features a coffee bar serving a wide selection of nonalcoholic beverages, including fruit smoothies and more.
All spaces have a high-tech media room, where teens can watch movies or play video games, and schedule group activities like Karaoke, scavenger hunts or talent shows.
On the Disney Dream, Fantasy & Wish, Vibe has a private outdoor sundeck where they can sunbathe away from everyone else.
No matter the age of your children, they will find a place to enjoy at the Kids Clubs on any of the Disney Cruise ships! In fact, it might be hard keeping them out of them when you want some family time!
What was your kids favorite part of the Disney Cruise kids club?

Shorts are totally acceptable for boys and my son (12) usually wears a nice pair of shorts with a polo shirt to dinner.
