Traveling with Little Ones

The minimum age to sail aboard a Disney Cruise Line ship is 6 months on the day of sailing; however, the minimum age for Transatlantic, Panama Canal and Hawaii itineraries is one year on the day of sailing.

Families traveling with babies and young children have access to a host of onboard services and amenities:

• Complimentary diaper disposal units, bottle warmers, bottle sterilizers, cribs and playpens are available upon request from the stateroom host.
• Complimentary strollers are available at Guest Services.
• Complimentary Pack-n-Play portable cribs are available. Your stateroom host can set the crib up and take it down for you each day.
• Complimentary high chairs are available at all onboard restaurants.
• Fresh pureed vegetables can be prepared at the main dining rooms and through room service upon request.
• At Disney Castaway Cay, our private island in the Bahamas, complimentary wagons are available to facilitate navigating the island’s sandy beaches.
• Essential baby supplies are available for purchase at the onboard merchandise shops, including diapers, training pants, rash cream, infant formula (ready to feed), bottles, pacifiers, baby food, baby shampoo, baby lotion and baby powder.

All complimentary services and amenities are offered on a first-come, first-served basis. To reserve a crib or make other special arrangements for your child, sign into My Reservations, select Special Requests and fill out our Special Requests form.

For food allergies, accessibility assistance and/or medical equipment requests, please utilize our Special Services form.

Keep in mind, Guests may bring baby food and formula on board the ship as carry-on items as long as they are pre-packaged, unopened and do not require any food preparation from the kitchen.

Disney Cruise Line infant care centers provide parents both peace of mind and an opportunity to relax and enjoy a little exclusive time together.

Our nurseries are for children ages 6 months to 3 years (or ages one to 3 years for Transatlantic, Panama Canal and Hawaii itineraries) and offer extended hours to accommodate the ships’ many activities.

“it’s a small world” nursery! is located on every ship across the Disney Cruise Line feet.

You’ll find plenty of magical play areas for your tots on deck at our water playgrounds:

Nemo's Reef is located on the Disney Dream and the Disney Fantasy. Dory's Reef is located on the Disney Wonder, and for tots up to age 3, Nephews' Splash Zone is located on the Disney Magic. And on our newest ship, the Disney Wish, little ones can splash it up at Toy Story Splash Zone.

Designed for younger cruisers, this complimentary, 30-page printable booklet features helpful information about what children can expect when sailing and fun activities they can do before and during their cruise. Parents will also find useful tips to help prepare their family for their adventure on the high seas.
