Disney Fantasy

Disney's Oceaneer Club located midship of deck 5 is a children's activity centre for children 3 to 12 years of age.

The central rotunda features a 103" plasma screen for watching movies and for magical interactions with Crush, the animated sea turtle from Disney Pixar’s Finding Nemo, who speaks like a surfer dude. The turtle personally chats with children during his real-time animated appearances, asking them about themselves and the human world they inhabit. The rotunda also includes an interactive magic play floor where activities such as storytelling come alive as the floor allows children to fly over the streets of London with Peter Pan or ride the waves with Crush. Children’s movements on the floor control all the actions bringing stories and games to a new dimension.

Leading off the central area of Disney's Oceaneer Club are 4 themed play areas:

Andy's Room, bringing the world of Toy Story to life, enables kids to play with larger-than-life characters from the film including Rex the dinosaur, Hamm the piggy bank and Mr. Potato Head. The room also features a huge Slinky Dog structure for kids to climb through and a large remote controlled car to sit in.

Monsters Academy, based on the animated film Monsters Inc. incorporates a central elaborately themed play structure, where kids can immerse themselves in the world of Monstropolis along with computers with unique interactive games. An assortment of clothes and props can also be found allowing children to dress up as characters from the film.

Pixie Hollow - Inspired by the series of Tinkerbell movies - transports children to the magical world inhabited by fairies with a pixie dust tree in the corner of the room glittering with fairy lights and fun acorn and mushroom stools to sit on. The area is designed for dress-up play, individual craft projects and storytelling sessions.

Explorer Pod - Children can explore the bright blue and yellow Nemo Sub surrounded by a seascape with virtual environments for children to discover and 16 interactive computers stations on board the submarine for fun-filled individual or group games.

Mats for naps are also available in the Oceaneer Club for the younger guests, whilst children who wish to can enjoy lunch and dinner at the club too (those not wishing to dine can still enjoy activities during meal times).

Registering children for the Oceaneer Club can be done either at the terminal or once onboard the ship. Once onboard, both children and parents must check in at the front desk at the club for the confirmation process where parents fill out final paperwork and children receive a wristband indicating that they are part of Disney's Oceaneer Club. At this point parents can also tour the facility and meet the counsellors.

Children ages 3-12 with special needs are welcome at Disney's Oceaneer Club and whilst one on one care is not available if counsellors are notified in advance they will accommodate the best they can.

A host of activities take place within the club and while some activities are recommended for certain age ranges, participation is based on a child's interest level and maturity, not age, enabling siblings and friends ages 3-12 to play together without restriction.

Examples of activities include:
Disney's Once Upon a Time interactive story time where characters come to life.
Puzzle Playtime with Mickey and Friends
