We recently went on the Disney Destiny for a 4 night Bahamian cruise. While on board, we visited the Teenage Club “Vibe” (Ages 14-17) and took some pictures during the open house. The Vibe is located on Deck 12 Starboard (right) side of the ship.
We recently went on the Disney Wish for a 3 night Bahamian cruise. While on board, we visited the Teenage Club “Vibe” (Ages 14-17) and took some pictures during the open house. The Vibe is located on Deck 12 Starboard (right) side of the ship.
During a recent trip on the Disney Dream, we made a special trip to visit the Vibe, the club for 14-17 year olds. We made sure to go during open house when anyone of any age can visit. Otherwise, the club is strictly limited to the 14 through 17 year olds.
When you embark on a Disney Cruise, you will be given a Key To The World Card. The card will not only unlock your stateroom but also uniquely identifies you to the crew. It has a lot of information embedded on the card as well. I'll try to breakdown the information as well to show you some examples of the card.
Our friend, Lauren Shields, recently went on the Disney Wish with her awesome family. While on board, they visited the Teenage Club “Vibe” (Ages 14-17) and were kind enough to share pictures with us. The Vibe is located on Deck 12 Starboard (right) side of the ship.

Here are our pictures of the Vibe teenage club (for ages 14-17) on the Disney Wonder from our Southern Caribbean Trip taken in January 2020. It was updated in Fall 2019 to a more open feel. We have previously discussed what the club looked like before the refurbishment. The club is located in the central smokestack of the ship. There is an elevator that goes directly into the club as well.
When you enter the club, immediately to the right of the entrance is a set of video games, as well as the ever present canister of hand wipes.
Looking to the front and left of the entrance, is the elevator that opens into the Vibe. The counselors also have their profiles on a board for the cruisers to read.
The central part of the club is focused on the main television, with lots of comfortable seating surrounding it.
There is a room in the back as well, with a Guitar Hero machine in the entrance.
The back room is just a quieter place away from the noise of the central room.
To the front of the central room is a smoothie bar! There is also a new coffee machine there for everyone to enjoy.
The front windows have been opened up so there is more light. I believe the area in front is the concierge sun deck area.
Next to the bar is a small booth to sit and talk, or to enjoy a smoothie or coffee drink.
Overall, the club has been opened up and given a lighter feel. If you would like to hear a teenager’s view on the available activities on the ship, my daughter has talked about the Vibe Club on Rope Drop Radio.

Here are our pictures of the Vibe teenage club for ages 14-17 on the Disney Wonder from our Spring Break Trip in April 2019. The club is located in the central smokestack of the ship. There is an elevator that goes directly into the club as well. My older daughter went to register while we took some pictures.
Here are some pictures of the main portion of the club:

Here are our pictures of the Vibe teenage club for ages 14-17 on the Disney Magic from our Spring Break Trip in March 2018. It was updated in March 2018 to an urban loft theme. We have previously discussed what the club looked like before the refurbishment. The club is located in the central smokestack of the ship. There is an elevator that goes directly into the club as well. My older daughter went to register while we took some pictures.
Here are some pictures of the main portion of the club:
There is also a back room to the club for watching TV or for smaller groups.
There is a smoothie bar in the front of the club, right near the window.
Near the entrance to Vibe is an activity schedule. As our daughter said, ice breakers on the first night is definitely the one activity not to miss. It is the time when friendships are the easiest to make and they will last the length of the cruise and beyond.

When you embark on a Disney Cruise, you will be given a Key To The World Card. The card will not only unlock your stateroom but also uniquely identifies you to the crew. It has a lot of information embedded on the card as well. I’ll try to breakdown the information as well to show you some examples of the card.
| A | The dates of your cruise |
| The ship you are on | |
| C | Your name |
| D | Your Castaway Club status |
| E | Your lifeboat station |
| F | Your dining rotation:
Fantasy
Dream
Magic
Wonder
|
| G | Your dining time |
| H | Your check in line number |
| I | Indicates you have a Disney Visa Card as your credit card (entitles you to additional perks) |
| J | Your table number in every main dining room |
| K | Your Castaway Club account number |
| L | A for Adult, M for Minor |
| M | P for Disney Transportation to the Port, A for Disney Transportation to the Airport, R for Disney Resort, PA for Port and Airport, PR for Port and Resort, and RPA for Resort to Port to Airport. |
Here is our first card, which was for a cruise to Alaska. The only difference here is that we didn’t have any Disney Transportation booked, didn’t have Castaway Club status, and Disney had not yet started to indicate if you were using a Disney Visa Card.
On our second cruise, we had obtained Silver Castaway Club Status. We went on a Spring Break cruise on the Wonder.
On our third cruise, we got a star added to our card. This was to indicate that we had visited the Immigration and Custom Officials before the ship docked in Key West. This cruise was a four night Caribbean cruise on the Wonder.
Nothing new on this card for our fourth cruise. Although, it is interesting to note that there is no check in line number on this card. I think my Key To The World card got demagnetized on this cruise (and wouldn’t open my stateroom door), so it got reprinted while we were on board. This was a five night Western Caribbean cruise on the Wonder.
This was our fifth cruise and it was our first time on the Fantasy. This was a 7 night Eastern Caribbean cruise on the Fantasy.
Back on the Wonder for our sixth cruise, where we changed to Gold Castaway Club Members. We also don’t have a check in line number for this cruise, but I remember that we did upgrade our stateroom in the cruise terminal. This meant that our card got reprinted in the supervisor’s line. This was another five night Western Caribbean cruise on the Wonder.
For our seventh cruise, we returned to the Fantasy. We also paid for Disney Cruise Line transportation from the airport and the port, so the card has a PA on it. We also used a Disney Visa Card for the default credit card for this cruise, so they added the DV to this card. We didn’t actually use the credit card, since all the charges were paid off using Disney Gift Cards. This was a seven night Eastern Caribbean Star Wars Day at Sea Cruise.
Our eighth cruise was our first cruise on the Dream. We again paid for round trip Disney Cruise ground transportation and used our Disney Visa Card. This was a three night Bahamian Cruise on the Dream.
On our ninth cruise, we went on the Magic for a Very Merrytime Cruise. We drove to and from the Port of Miami, so no annotation about Disney Transportation. We used our Disney Visa Card as the default credit card for this cruise. This was a 5 Night Very Merrytime Western Caribbean Cruise on the Magic.
On our tenth cruise, we went back on the Magic for a Sprint Break Cruise. We drove to and from the Port of Miami, so no annotation about Disney Transportation. This was a 5 Night Bahamian Cruise on the Magic.
Our eleventh cruise, where we were Platinum for the first time, was another cruise on the Fantasy. We drove to and from Port Canaveral, so no annotation about Disney Transportation. This was a 7-Night Eastern Caribbean on the Fantasy.
On our twelve cruise, we went back onboard our favorite ship, the Wonder, for a Spring Break Cruise. We left from San Diego on a 5-Night Baja Cruise. This was the first time we had been on the Wonder since its refurbishment that added Tiana’s Place. Disney Cruise Line changed the way the dining rotation was specified on the card to add two letters for the name of the restaurant so there was no confusion with Tiana’s and Triton’s. We actually didn’t sit at Table 57, as we discussed in the trip report, because we wanted to sit with our favorite crew member. Since we took an Uber to and from the port (we had additional vacation days before and after the cruise), we didn’t use Disney transportation.
During some recent cruises, our daughter was old enough to go to the Vibe. When the kids check in to the Vibe, they get new Key To The World cards printed on this special card to indicate they are allowed in the Vibe. If they don’t have this card during a “Card Check”, they will be asked to leave the Vibe. Our daughter indicated they do this check every so often.
Some friends sailed in a Concierge Cabin and were kind enough to share their Key To The World card with us. As you can see, they had Port/Airport transfers and also used their Disney Visa Card as the default payment. The card is gold because they were Concierge guests and had access to the Concierge Lounge. There are two interesting items to note with this card. One first is the Concierge check-in desk number “993”. The second item is the crossed Mickey Keys in the bottom left, which also indicates a Concierge guest.
We just added some information on how you can store your Key to the World Card as well, talking about Lanyards available from both Disney and Amazon.
