Air purifier on Disney Dream

[DisneyMom111]

When we go to WDW, we always request a portable air purifier machine for the room for white noise. My son and I both need some kind of fan or white noise when we sleep. Does anyone know if they have these on the ships as well? If not I can try to find a small white noise machine to bring.

Thanks!

We always use a white noise app on our phones when we travel. It's not quite as good as the noise we get from air purifier at home but generally does the trick on the ships.

I never thought of that, that's an idea. Thanks.

I have a white noise app on my phone and iPad as well. The first couple of nights we didn't use it because we really couldn't hear any noise from adjacent rooms or the hallway, but I couldn't sleep without it, so we started using it. The room is small enough that with the phone on the desk, it was plenty loud enough (I kept it plugged in so the battery wouldn't run down in the middle of the night). My app also has a nice big clock display and a built-in alarm clock that gradually mutes the white noise before playing the alarm. The app is called White Noise, and I got it for free from Starbucks, but it looks like there is a free version in the Apple App Store.

You can also bring your own fan onboard, if you wish. If it's an electric one it will need to be inspected by the chief electrician before you can use it, but if it's battery operated you're good to go.

From the DCL website:
Portable fans are permitted in your stateroom. However, you must contact Guest Services to have the Chief Electrician approve your fan.

I guess I could do that too, maybe one of those small desk fans, they can be noisy. I did look up apps and there are quite a few to choose from. Both are great ideas.

Are you allowed to bring an air purifier? I couldn't find it on Disney's website. It only mentions fans and humidifiers.

While not specifically mentioned, I would imagine that would fall in the same category as fans & humidifiers.

It falls under the same category as fans and humidifiers [essentially it is a fancy fan].

If it needs to be plugged in it needs to be inspected, as noted above.

My MiL has respiratory issues and recently bought the LG personal air purifier for trips to places like FL. It's slightly bigger than a can of soda and runs off a USB port. That might be a good option for you.

I already have one and she's pretty good size. I don't mind lugging it on board as long as it's allowed.

I have an Amaircare Roomaid that I travel with due to severe allergies. Pain in the butt to travel with, especially flying, but necessary.

Before each cruise I email DCL Special Services with information about and the specs of the device [particularly the power and power cord], explain why I need it, and confirm that it is allowed on board. Each time they confirm that it is and provide me with instructions on how to get it inspected once we are on board so that it can actually be used.

To be safe, I print a copy of their reply email and carry that with me when we board. We've only had an issue once, which was resolved quickly when I showed port security the email explaining that *I* was to take the device to guest services to get it cleared.

FYI, the device must either look weird or be unusual enough as every time we go through security with it [airport or port] *it* gets pulled for secondary inspection [other things I have do too, but the air purifier always does]. So be sure to package it considering that it WILL get handled by security. And budget in the extra time.

OP, if you don't actually need an air purifier, a small battery operated fan or one of the many smartphone apps would be an easier option if they would do the job.

To answer your question, there are air purifiers on board. On one trip, they were doing lots of welding to the fire doors close to our cabin. The fumes really aggravated my husband’s asthma. When I asked for a fan, the gave us a big Dyson air purifier instead. I wouldn’t necessarily count on getting one I guess, but they did have them on the Magic.

If you’re just looking for the SOUND of a fan, I’d suggest this over an app. I always slept with a box fan running, and bought this for travel. It’s so amazing that I got rid of my fan and use this all the time now. There are plenty of noises to choose from, and it has a depth to the sound that you can’t get from any of the million apps I tried. Also, it’s tiny.

Edit to add: I’ve never had to have this inspected. It runs off of a USB cord, and holds enough charge for a night’s sleep if needed.
