Re: Cruise or POP

I would try something different, I don't know how old your child are but it looks like they've already been lucky enough to visit WDW more than several times. Doing the cruise would be something new to explore but still has the Disney signature & everything that comes along with that.

Re: Cruise or POP

Have you considered the Land/Sea cruise? We thought it was fantastic!
You still get 3 or 4 nights on the ship and the rest at the park. The best of BOTH worlds in my opinion :)

Re: Cruise or POP

That is a tough one. I love cruising. If you said a week long cruise I would say do the cruise. But 5 days is a little too short to me for a main vacation.

I agree. We did this a few years ago and loved it! I would recommend looking into the price of this.

Wife and I loved the cruise. Kids would definitely choose the parks. Do both!
