Disney Cruise Line informed its travel agent partners last week that the line is changing their infant policy by increasing the minimum age to sail from 12 weeks to 6 months for most itineraries. Disney’s new minimum age requirements became effective on Friday, July 18, 2014 for all new reservations with sail dates after January 1, 2015.  The minimum age for longer cruises (Transatlantic, Hawaii, Panama Canal) will increase to 1 year of age.

According to the Disney Cruise Line blog, “The infant policy change is consistent with the age restrictions of other cruise lines”.  Customers booked on cruises prior to the July 18 changes will be allowed to sail under the previous age rules, which was 12 weeks and 1 year.  All new bookings for 2015 sailings must adhere to the new age limits.
