I take my commitment to integrity in sporting event reviewing very seriously! Which is why I had to review the very serious baby races that happen aboard Disney cruises, the Jack Jack Diaper Dash.

I went on a Disney cruise because my friends (though they won’t admit it) are Disney adults and got married on it. I was both the Maid of Honor and Best Man and I take great pride in being the goblin jack of all trades for my various friend groups.

Early on in our trip my friend Anarkee told me we could not miss the baby races; that they do one every sailing.

β€œSaw a baby take their first steps last time! They were disqualified though,” she told me.

The problem was we couldn’t find it on the schedule and she was so distraught that it might not happen that we went to Guest Services to ask about them.

β€œOh we are absolutely doing the race,” the cast member told us. β€œWe never skip the race. Usually it’s on the last sailing day; it should be on the schedule soon.”

Crisis averted. I should note that this was also a day before Anarkee was, you know, going to get married and this is what she was worried about.
