2 year old on cruise...no pool???

[lovetheworld]

I read that children under 3 are not allowed in the pools. What can they do??? I will be going with a 4 and a 2 year old?? Should we wait another year???

If they are not potty trained they can not go in the pools. There is one ear of the Mickey pool that they can go in, it has a little fountain in it.

We elected to wait a year. In addition to no pools, by waiting until my daughter was three (in her case three and a half - she was four when we cruised) and potty trained meant we could put her in the kids clubs (which she loved). For us, the wait definately made for a much more enjoyable vacation for everyone.

But plenty of people travel with toddlers and love it.

We are going with a 2.5 and 4 year old in Oct. We thought about waiting until both of them could go to the club (maybe even in the same group) but they currently go to a play group separately and do fine. It would also be nice if both were potty-trained but we're saving that time for WDW.

As far as the pools go, DH will take the 4 yr old to the pool and I'll take the 2.5 one to the "fountain." We are most looking foward to the beaches though. Both can play in the sand together.
Let me know how it goes if you go before Oct.
Good luck
