Imaginations, Assemble! Kids Explore Disney Stories in Youth Spaces Aboard the Disney Magic

Disney Cruise Line revolutionized the cruise industry with elaborately themed youth areas where a generous sprinkling of pixie dust and beloved Disney characters combine to lead children into their favorite Disney stories. On board the Disney Magic, there is nearly an entire deck of spaces designed to inspire, entertain and spark the imagination of children.

Disney’s Oceaneer Club

It’s A Small World Nursery

In the It’s a Small World Nursery, infants and toddlers up to age 3 enter a whimsical world inspired by the classic Disney theme park attraction and original artwork by Disney Legend Mary Blair. The theme’s signature fanciful style in a patchwork of pastel colors creates an inviting and comforting space for little ones.

Upon entering the nursery, parents and children can meet and interact with counselors in a welcoming environment. Parents wishing to check on their children, without disturbing them, can glimpse into the nursery’s main play area through a one-way window.

In the nursery’s main play area, children are welcomed by cheerful, three-dimensional façades resembling the nursery’s namesake Disney attraction. Interactive, hands-on features, such as horns that honk, wheels that spin and buttons to press, are sure to delight curious kids. A boat in the center of the room “floats” on a river pattern along the soft-surface floor and is surrounded by colorful, kid-sized tables and chairs for toddlers to enjoy crafts, books and games.

At the back of the nursery, a separate room with a serene motif and a calm, quiet atmosphere is reserved for naptime.

Edge and Vibe

Catering to this basic fact of family-vacation life, the Disney Magic provides ultra-cool plush pads exclusively for teens and tweens who want a little independence. These trendy and tranquil areas offer an elite getaway for teens and tweens to set their own vacation agenda, whether socializing with new friends, playing the latest video games, experiencing cutting-edge technology or just chilling out.

Edge

Tweens ages 11 to 14 can kick back and hang out in an inviting lounge – designed to look like an old boiler room – with flat-screen TVs, multiple gaming systems and a dance floor. A basement-inspired feel lets tweens feel instantly at home as they enjoy both free-form and structured activities with kids their own age, from impromptu karaoke sessions and tween dance parties to special themed nights.

Vibe

Teens rule in their own exclusive club aboard the Disney Magic with Vibe, an open-plan lounge located in the iconic red forward funnel of the ship.

Vibe invites teens to unwind at an urban, loft-inspired haven where stylish industrial elements merge with music, gaming and all the latest trends. Amid brick, concrete and technical architectural flourishes, teens can sip on a flavorful coffee or smoothie, play the latest tunes and socialize with kids their own age during fun video and virtual-reality game sessions.

Chill Spa for Teens

Guests ages 13 to 17 have the coolest spot on the ship to “chillax”: Chill Spa. Located inside Senses Spa & Salon on Deck 9, Chill Spa includes two treatment rooms with showers where teens can stress less and chill out with spa treatments designed just for them.

Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique

At Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, aspiring young princess and knights become Disney royalty with the help of a fairy godmother-in-training. When the pirate deck party is on the evening schedule, the space transforms into The Pirate League, where young sailors can unleash their inner buccaneer with a piratical makeover.
