Late last week, Disney Cruise Line quietly updated their FAQ on Oceaneer Bands, the wearable band provided to children 10 and under that allows them access in and out of Disney’s Oceaneer Club and Disney’s Oceaneer Lab. The change is specific to the Disney Wish with the deposit now $25 which will be charged to the stateroom account if the Oceaneer Band is not returned at the end of the voyage starting with the July 26, 2024 cruise.
According to the current FAQ page, this change is currently just for the Disney Wish while the remainder of the fleet will remain at a $12.95 deposit.
Keep in mind, an active DisneyBand+ worn by your child will also grant access in and out of Disney’s Oceaneer Club and Disney’s Oceaneer Lab.
An Oceaneer Band is required for children to access the Youth Club areas. Guests with DisneyBand+ may use their wristband to access Youth Club areas in lieu of the Oceaneer Band. If a child does not have their own DisneyBand+, an Oceaneer Band will be provided for them with the deposit based on the ship.
We will continue to monitor for changes across the fleet.
