During a recent sailing on the Disney Dream, we made a special trip to visit the Edge, the club for 11-14 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 11 through 14 year old range. The Edge is located in the forward funnel and is accessed from Deck 12.
Our friend, Steve Kriese of the DCL Podcast, recently went on a cruise on the new Disney Wish. He was kind enough to send us pictures of the Pre-Teen “Edge” club. The Edge is located on Deck 5 near the rear elevators on the Starboard (right) side of the ship.

During a recent August 2018 sailing on the Disney Fantasy, we made a special trip to visit the Edge, the club for 11-14 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 11 through 14 year old range.
The Edge is located in the mid-ship funnel on the Fantasy on Deck 13. To access the Edge, you have to go to Deck 12 and walk up the stairs. Alternatively, there is a single midship elevator that can also access the club (it will have a button for Deck 13 in it).
Once you head up the stairs, you will see the entrance to the Edge.
Once you enter the club, you will be greeted with a lot of bright colors and television screens.
The main section of the club has two large television screens and a light up dance floor.
On the right, once you are facing the dance floor, is a small room that used to be a recording studio. This used to be one the favorite things to do on the cruise. It has been converted into another movie watching room.
There is a small room in the back as well where you can watch movies as well or hang out with your new friends. They might also host smaller group activities back here.
On the other side of the dance floor is a ping pong table.
Back near the entrance of the Edge is some information about the activities and the counselors.
Since the Edge is high up in the midship funnel, we decided to check out the view.
To make friends on the cruise, we always suggest showing up to the first night’s “Ice Breakers” activity. Most friendships are formed that first night and they continue the rest of the cruise.

During a recent cruise on the Disney Magic, we got a tour of the Edge, which is the club for Disney cruisers ages 11-14. The Edge is located on Deck 9 inside the mid-ship funnel, where the old arcade used to be located.
The Edge has some cool frosted glass that keeps prying adult eyes away (although you are always welcome to go in to check on your child). There is a supervisor desk right at the entrance, although the kids don’t have to check in or out of the tween and teen clubs like they do with the Oceaneer Club and Lab.
The Edge has an “under the sea” nautical theme to it. The area is broken into several spaces focused on different activities.
There is a large television for karaoke, movies, and video games.
The control station can cue up whatever songs these karaoke singers want!
The back of the club is set up for board games with several tables. The virtual portholes show under water scenes, complete with fish.
There is a table for just hanging out, as well as some televisions in the front corner of the club for more video game competitions.
Our kids have both enjoyed the Edge. If you have kids who are the right age to visit, just make sure they attend the “Ice Breakers” activity the first night so they can make new friends. That first night is crucial to forming the friend groups that will carry them throughout the cruise.
