I think she is excited about the teen club, but that's definitely why we booked this cruise, so we could hang out with her and have some fun shore ex with her before she is not able to hang out with us anymore. <3If she doesn’t like other kids but can tolerate you, maybe it’s a sweet spot to do things as a family before she goes off to college and the rest of her life.
We have frequently been told on several occasions that our teens were not allowed during the day in the district bars and events scheduled within. Though, I will also add that we have seen several minors present on other occasions as well- so I guess it depends on the cast member. I find the lack of consistency extremely annoying, as I would love to have my kids with me at these times during the day. (And no my kids are not ones to act up that they are being asked to leave)
The bars and lounge areas in the "adult" areas can vary as to when/where under 18s are allowed during the daytime when there are activities scheduled in them. All bars & lounges in the adult area are 18+ in the evening/nighttime.We have frequently been told on several occasions that our teens were not allowed during the day in the district bars and events scheduled within.

Even in the Cove Bar we have been told immediately after being handed our orders that the kids cannot stay.
I have found this rather disappointing as Disney is marketed as a “family cruise line“, and there seems to be a large amount of adult only areas or activities that don’t necessarily need to be exclusive to adults, though I do understand some parents wanting alone time. I am anomaly, as my kids get older, I see it as the less time I have with them before going away to college.
). I stand by my lack of consistency comment.
This is one location I do not understand why it is considered/in adult exclusive area.
Yeah, our kids were 12 and 16 on our Disney cruise. 7 days on the MagicIf she doesn’t like other kids but can tolerate you, maybe it’s a sweet spot to do things as a family before she goes off to college and the rest of her life.
Because I am a family of adults and I go to the adults-only areas to be with other adults and away from those under 18 and that's the rule. Yes, they are inconsistent sometimes in enforcing it, and if it's more than an in-and-out of someone under 18, I will make a complaint. I don't complain if it's in-and-out, but I'm still annoyed by it because the rules are quite clear. I don't pop into the children or teen areas which are reserved for them so I don't see why adult-only areas can't be respected by others.I know Cove Cafe is in adult area, however I frequently have seen kids go in with parent. I do not have issue with this but apparently many adults do.
Yes, that's kind of how I feel as well. When we have been on NCL, our daughter hangs out in the adults only pool and we have never been scolded for it. Maybe it's because she looks much older than she is. But my hubby is definitely bummed that she can't be in the adults only pool in DCL.We have frequently been told on several occasions that our teens were not allowed during the day in the district bars and events scheduled within.

Even in the Cove Bar we have been told immediately after being handed our orders that the kids cannot stay. We are not ones to be rule breakers, but haven seen others take kids in….yet the time we bring ours in to get a drink or pick out a pastry, it never fails, we are the ones to be scolded lol.

I have seen some adults go to the extreme by just seeing children even if well behaved and just passing through. My mind says try Virgin if kids bother you that much lol!!

My husband and I are two adults with no children; we are a family.And I am not trying to stir up drama on the boards by any means… I completely get that some want adult only time. For me that is my time in the spa. But at the same time it is family oriented cruise line, so I just try to not to let things like this bother me, unless the kids are acting up, which is a different story.
But again, if Disney was consistent, I probably wouldn’t have posted either way.
We're all family here.
