"This program is such a natural fit as both PLAYSKOOL and Disney are about sparking imagination and discovery," said Lorrie Browning, general manager of infant/preschool at Hasbro. "The introduction of PLAYSKOOL toys and related activities in the ship's play centers translates to fun for kids and trust for parents. We expect that kids will enjoy the fun and comfort of playing with PLAYSKOOL toys that they already have at home while also discovering new play experiences that will stay with them for years to come."

Additionally, Flounder's Reef counselors will have the benefits of the PLAYSKOOL AGES AND STAGES system designed to help make the best choices about what toys are most appropriate for an individual child based on their age, development and play levels. For example, the LET'S PLAY TOGETHER stage is ideal for children in a group environment as it teaches them to take turns, share, follow rules, cooperate, and be a good friend. It also encourages soothing and connecting types of play to help children feel secure as well as fantasy and physical play to help children explore and feel independent.

For children ages 3-7, the ship's Oceaneer Club, full of adventure resembling Peter Pan's Never Land, houses activities that are designed to inspire imagination and exploration such as a PLAY-DOH and Disney themed play session and a PIRATE MR. POTATO HEAD-branded scavenger hunt scavenger hunt
