Diapers and wipes!

[Alban4]

We are going on our first Disney cruise in March... I have a one yr old that will need diapers and wipes. Do they sell them on the ship or should I just pack them?

Thank you!

I would recommend you pack some. If you run out you will be able to purchase some on board, however I just filled up a rolling suitcase with a bunch of wipes and diapers when DS was younger I calculated that he would use about 6-8 diapers per day and brought that amount.

As noted, they are available onboard, but pricey. I'll second the "fill up a suitcase" suggestion (you can then refill the empty space with souvenirs). Or ship a box of supplies ahead of your cruise to yourself.

I'm not sure of the brand that they sell on the ship. I know that Disney characters are featured on Huggies.

We figured out the number we would need for 7 days, and by day 3 we needed more due to tummy troubles as a result of a new time zone and traveling. But I agree, we filled up a suitcase of stuff to include prepackaged food, bottles, juice, whatever, and then refilled it with other things for the return trip.

If @Alban4 is flying they can either ship a box, or pack a box, this way they don't have to pay to bring it home!

This is very good advice, all of your LO favorite prepackage snacks will be needed at the time my DS was really into Pediasure as well I brought about 20 of those onboard as well.

If flying, they can ship diapers and wipes. Food and drinks, including baby food or formula, cannot be shipped ahead. Beverages should be carried on, though food pouches can be in checked luggage.

OP -- I agree with either shipping or bringing an extra box/suitcase for the baby supplies. I know some people who arrive in Orlando a day early will make a WalMart run and then just put a luggage tag on a case of diapers. Buying onboard will be pricey, and they may not have the right size in stock at the time.

Enjoy your cruise!

I have also noticed the packages sold on board are not as large as those sold in your regular store. So you would be getting less diapers for more money. As the others have said I would take all with you. My daughter traveled with one in diapers and they have one suitcase that was diapers and wipes. It was almost empty when they disembarked so they folded it up and put inside one of their other suitcases or you could use that suitcase for souvenirs.

Thank you all. I appreciate the advice!!

AND...even the same brand of diapers sold in ports are not the same as you are used to at home. Definitely pack your own.
