Details of Kids' Activities

Activities for Kids (Ages 3-7)

Only Disney can take little cruisers on a daily voyage to a world devoted to fun and fantasy. Disney's Oceaneer Club offers age-specific activities guaranteed to transport young minds to the edge of their imagination. Guided along the way by Disney counselors, of course. And, as an added convenience, parents are given pagers so families are always in touch. Here are some examples of activities at the Oceaneer Club.

Ages 3-4

  • Mouseketeer Training/Inspection
    Children train to be Mouseketeers, practice marching, match up Disney Friends, watch a video clip of 1950's Mouseketeer show opening. MICKEY MOUSE comes to inspect his new Mouseketeers and lead them in a march to the Lab.
  • Where's Tinkerbell
    An adventure with clues to help find Tink's hiding place. Hopefully she will make a very magical appearance.
