Disney Cruise Teen Clubs, Are Disney For Teens?

Share

In this post we are talking about Cruising on Disney Cruise Line with teens and the Disney Cruise Teen Clubs. These are split between the Vibe Teen Club and Edge Tween Club two incredible areas that teens and tweens wont want to leave. As such we have done the research so you have everything you need to know right here.

We have previously talked about the truly wonderful kids clubs and exceptional baby facilities, but what about the teens? Being a parent of teens and tweens is wonderful, but somewhat confusing. Because you never know what they are going to love or indeed not love.

Additionally booking a family cruise changes dramatically as your kids hit the teenage stage. Why, because you are then considering ships they will love, itineraries they will want to get off the ship for and working WIFI?

I have to be honest, before I started researching for this post, I had Disney firmly pegged in the amazing for younger kids category. However I take that back, Disney Cruise Line is a teens dream.
