Disney Dream Oceaneer’s Club – Focus High on Clean Environment for Children

Before boarding the Disney Dream, my son and I had just (finally) gotten over having the flu.  I was a bit apprehensive about sending him (age 5) to the Oceaneer’s Club in fear that he may come down with some other child’s illness while we were on vacation.  This is not to say that I thought that the facilities would not be clean!  However, my son does not quite understand yet that he should not put his hands on objects, then into his mouth.  So much to teach him, so little time!

So, when we got aboard the Disney Dream, my son was very excited to go see the Oceaneer’s Club in person.  He and I had long studied the online information and photos, but he was ready to play!  When we first arrived, we were told that he was required to wash his hands.  Instead of a sink, they had these turbo charged, timed hand washing systems!  They were AMAZING!  The children would put both of their hands in the washer, water would swirl around and up and down the arms and hands of the child for a set amount of time, then automatically shut off!  On his first experience with the hand washing system, my son squealed with glee and then insisted that I try it!  And he was so right, this washing system felt great!  My hands felt so clean after using the contraption!

Once inside, the cast members explained that the toys and items are regularly cleaned and that the children are required to wash their hands before snacks, before meals and after using the restroom.  They also explained that the dining tables are wrapped in saran wrap during meals to ensure that the children are eating on a clean space.  (I am sure it helps a bit with clean up too!  I may just consider doing the same!)

The review of the Oceaneer’s Club and discussions with the cast members really made me feel much better about the cleanliness of the space.  My son’s time in the Oceaneer’s Club was every bit as wonderful as he had hoped!  He spent quite a bit of time there throughout our time aboard the Disney Dream.  He made many friends and had an amazing experience all his own away from his parent in a safe, clean environment!
