The list of Prohibited Items confirms that items such as rafts, pool noodles, or floats are not allowed. I confirmed with a Crew Member that since the puddle jumper is a U.S. Coast Guard personal flotation device (PFD) it will be welcome onboard.

So, to answer your question, yes! You can definitely bring your own floatation devices with you when you visit. I also corroborated this info with a Cast Member to make sure, and they confirmed. So please do bring it with you and enjoy a splashtastic time at the Walt Disney World Resort.
Can I bring my own personal flotation device/life jackets for use at water parks and pools? Yes. As long as they are US Coast Guard / UL approved flotation devices. They are also complimentary and available upon request at the resort pools and water parks.
Yes, all Puddle Jumper branded flotation devices are certified by the US Coast Guard. Please refer to below product literature: Teach Your Child to Float with a PFD.
Complimentary flotation vests are provided and may be used in all pools and waterslides except the AquaDunk. Floats, rafts and fun noodles cannot be brought on board and are not permitted in the pools.
Clothing such as T-shirts, swimwear and sports attire is not permitted. Themed Nights – On 7-night sailings and longer cruises, the ship offers themed nights—including a formal night—and you're encouraged to dress up and participate in the evening's festivities.
Puddle Jumpers give kids a false sense of security that they can actually swim, when they actually cannot. Plus, did you know that puddle jumpers are in fact created for ages 3 and up (30-50 pounds)?
You can absolutely bring a water bottle with you into the Walt Disney World theme parks, including Magic Kingdom. The water bottle cannot be glass, but others are absolutely fine. My family always carries water bottles with us into Walt Disney World theme parks!
While shoes must be worn, there is no specific footwear requirement for attractions within Walt Disney World Resort theme parks, although skates or shoes with wheels are prohibited. I have seen Guests wearing everything from basic flip-flops to stilettos. (Though I do not recommend either of those options!)
For most all attractions there, you'll even be able to wear them down the water slides. Do make sure they are true water shoes, however, as flip flops are not permitted on the water slides themselves. I will say that I have pretty sensitive feet but most of the time I don't pack water shoes for the water park.
Our 3-year-old 30 lb child is doing very well in a puddle jumper which is designed for children from 30 to 50 lbs. We have a 20lb 1-year-old and we are trying to look for something equivalent for that lower weight.
Lanyards are gifts for members of the Castaway Club. After completing your first cruise, you automatically become a member! If this is at least your second Disney Cruise, your lanyard will be waiting for you in your stateroom when you board the ship.
You will find that you do not need to bring towels from home, as there are many available poolside, and even at the ready as you step onto Castaway Cay.
Disney Cruise Line will allow you to bring your own soda onboard. However, it must be carried onto the ship in a day bag no larger than 22 wide by 14 high by 9 deep. So your wheeled collapsible cooler needs to meet these dimensions or find a different bag to carry the soda in.
