When we went in January, I stood in line with all our paperwork to sign in, while dh and kids wandered around, looking at the model of the ship and then stood in the boarding line. I thought they would need to prove id upon signing in, but was wrong. If you don't want them to stand in the boarding line, there is a tv area w/couches for them. But there is so much to see, they will not be bored.
