Not sure about the youth club age policies on Disney Cruise Line? Worried your child is too young or too old to have fun? Wondering what in the world your kids will do on sea days?
Donât worry! Disney Cruise Line has it covered, and Iâve got all the answers to your questions! Weâve been cruising since my 19 year old was 5 months old, so I have experience at all stages!

â˘Oceaneer Club & Lab: ages 3-10 (fully potty trained)
â˘Edge: ages 11-14

Two of my favorite things: Disney Cruise Line and Alaska đ
John Muir said it best when he said, âyou should never go to Alaska as a young man because you'll never be satisfied with any other place as long as you live.â

You could see The Last Frontier as early as this summer, or we can book for next summer giving you plenty of time for payments.

True or false: tummy troubles donât exist on vacation? đŤŁMy answer is false. But sometimes Iâll get something just to have a little taste (like, less than half of this ice cream cone from Florean Fortescueâs). Know your limits, right? đ Was it good? Yes. Was it worth it? Also yes.I went with the Sticky Toffee Pudding flavor.

Absolutely not đ đťââď¸ Remember, price â value.

Letâs check out a Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom on the Disney Magic! My opinion, not all itineraries ârequireâ a verandah. If youâre looking to spend a little bit less, but still want some daylight, then an Oceanview Stateroom is a great option! Things to consider: Is there an experience youâd rather spend the savings on? Is it a shorter sailing where you may not spend as much time in your room?Are you prone to motion sickness and could benefit from easy access to fresh air?How many sea days and do you plan to go ashore a lot, or relax onboard?Does your itinerary offer beautiful views and great weather? These are things I can help you decide when planning your Disney Cruise. Iâd love to talk more with you! #disneymagiccruise #disneycruisestaterooms #oceanviewstateroom #disneycruisetips
If youâre looking for an alternative mode of transportation around the Walt Disney World Resort, then check out the Minnie Van service! Minnie Vans are Disney owned & operated, and driven by Cast Members. They also include up to two child seats. Your quick & comfortable ride can be booked in the Lyft app while on property. Staying Club Level? Then I can even arrange one for airport service. So the next time you have an early dining reservation at another resort, or just want a more relaxing ride after a long park day, give a Minnie Van a try! Be sure to follow for more tips â¤ď¸#minnievan #disneyminnievan #disneytransportation #disneyworldtips #disneyworldplanning
The Walt Disney World Resort is so much more than just a group of theme parks. Itâs not just about rides and attractions. Itâs little moments like this one. Itâs a feeling. Itâs magical.

The other day I shared my thoughts on park hopping at Walt Disney World, so today letâs talk about Disneyland Resort! How realistic is park hopping for newbies? SO realistic! You can see Disney California Adventure and Disneyland Park are just steps away from each other. This is especially helpful for moms with small kids because that means no folding up a stroller to hop on a bus. Ease of navigation is one of the top reasons why Disneyland Resort is a great vacation destination for families with small children. Theme parks, hotels, and Downtown Disney are all connected and designed for walkability. Do you park hop at Disneyland Resort? Want to learn more? Just send me a message! #disneycaliforniaadventurepark #disneylandpark #disneylandresortcalifornia #disneylandcalifornia
You donât need a reservation to enjoy one of the best breakfasts in Magic Kingdom Park! Just head to Sleepy Hollow (in Liberty Square, to the left of Cinderella Castle). We like to select a Mobile Order pick up time so itâs ready after we rope drop a ride.

Which one would you order? #disneybreakfast #sleepyhollowmagickingdom #magickingdomfood #mickeywaffle #freshfruitwafflesandwich #disneytip

One of the features that makes Disney Cruise Line perfect for families? The split bath design! One bathroom has a vanity, sink, shower, and bathtub. The second bathroom has a vanity, sink, and toilet. That means both bathrooms can be in use at the same time, by multiple family members. The split bath can be found in most Disney Cruise Line staterooms. Need help finding the right stateroom category for your cruise? I can help!

On my last trip I met a dad who shared this sentiment with me. His feelings were so touching, and so true. Things are always changing at the Disney parks. We love the new. We love the old.
