@bbel no flames from me. I totally get where you're coming from, and agree with you. My issue is also with Disney.
It doesn't seem obviously apparent that there's much of a difference between 10 and 11, but there is a big difference between elementary school, and middle school kids, which is what Edge caters more to. My biggest gripe is that I feel the 8-11 age group is underserved on DCL. I know why they combined Oceaneer Lab & Club, but it's a disservice to that age group. It's been discussed here before. Many kids don't want to just sit around doing arts n crafts, or yet another dance party or standing around waiting for the computer games that may never free up. My kids fell in that crowd. I was SO excited about a Disney cruise because everyone raved about how much fun the kids clubs were, and how they couldn't get their kids to leave, but mine dreaded going because they were bored in Oceaneer. If there's a gap between 10 and 11/12, there is an even BIGGER age gap between 3 and 10. I don't think it's fair to expect CMs to be able to entertain kids with a 7 yr age difference.
