Parents will fill out final paperwork and children will receive a wristband indicating that they belong to the Oceaneer Club/Lab aboard the ship. Once on board, parents are welcomed in the club during the open house day (embarkation day) to tour the club, meet the counselors and learn the many activities offered on board for their child.
What is a wristband? Children registered at the Oceaneer Club/Lab are given wristbands that must be worn throughout the duration of your cruise. It is a water and sand proof device and securely attach to your child’s wrists or ankle depending on what you think will be comfortable for your child. It has a black or red clip (medical alert, dietary references) attached to securely hold the bands. Upon registration you will be automatically charged $12.50/registered child on your portfolio for the bands. At the end of the cruise the fee will be reimbursed upon return of the band. You can also keep it for souvenir or future use.
The wristband is used to check in/out your child at the kids club, the same process is also used at Castaway cay’s Scuttles Cove. The wristband uses a RFID – Radio Frequency Identification technology. Any child who uses certain medical device must check their device manufacturer or ask your physician if there may be possible unwanted interferences as a result of the RF transmitters embedded in the bands. Additional information about RFID please click on the link: https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/faq/my-disney-experience/frequency-technology/
The wristband when scanned will provide all your child’s vital information including any medical alert, food references and allergies, a red clip will be attached to your child’s band to alert the staff. This will also allow the Youth Club Staffs to have an accurate count of children in the club and be able to locate them while in the club premises.
Can my child check in/out by him/herself? Children ages 8 – 12 with parent’s permission can check in and out by themselves. Without the parent’s authorization they can’t leave the club. A parent must drop their child and at pick-up they need to say the password they provided at the time of registration.
Dining
Children are offered lunch and dinner at the club and for those who do not want to join, activities are still ongoing during meal times. This is the perfect time for parents wishing to eat at the adult’s only restaurant on board. There is also a “Dine and Play” program for the families dining on second seating just let your server know that you will be participating in Dine And Play. In Dine and Play program, the children receive their meals earlier and then the youth counselors will come and pick them up from the dining room and escort them to the kids club. This allows parents to enjoy their dinner at their own pace.
