No pool time for little ones?

I read that kids under three can't go in the pools???

I don't believe this to be true. Last week there were young kids in the pool including my 2 1/2 year old. They don't allow the "swimmer diapers" and the kids have to be potty trained for health reasons, so infants or young toddlers would be out.

Children in swim diapers are now allowed, in one "ear" of the Mickey Mouse shaped pool. More like wading than swimming, but easy to clean up if there is an "accident". This was the case when were on the Eastern on the Magic on 12-27-03

I am glad swim diapers are now allowed!!

Unless it has changed I was under the impression that there are NO swim diapers allowed in the pool and the only place non potty trained kids can go is in the one ear of the mickey pool....I hope they haven't changed that since those swim diapers do not hold anything in there!

When you see them drain the pool, and re-clean it, because of an "accident" you are happy for the rules.

Here is what my Navigator from January 2, 2004 says.

"FOR THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF OUR GUESTS, PARENTS MUST OBSERVE THE U.S. PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE REQUIREMENTS BY ALLOWING ONLY CHILDREN WHO ARE TOILET TRAINED TO ENTER SHIPBOARD POOLS & SPAS. CHILDREN WHO ARE NOT TOILET TRAINED MAY USE THE FOUNTAIN PLAY AREA LOCATED IN MICKEY'S POOL STARBOARD EAR, SWIM DIAPERS ARE REQUIRED"

So untoilet trained kids can't go in the Mickey pool proper, the port ear, or the Goofy pool, but they can go in the starboard ear IF they wear swim diapers.

[tvguy]

One ear of the Mickey pool

The one most toward the back (aft) of the ship and on the right (starboard) side of the ship when facing toward the front of the ship (forward)

Pluto's pool is the middle pool (family) and Quiet Cove (over 18 only) is the forward most pool (open for guests).
