If I can only pick one, which is better Disney Cruise or

Disney vacation?

What do you think is the next age to do it? Im just looking ahead after watching a Disney Cruise Show.

Also are we talking like $10,000 for 2 adults and a kid! It might not even be an option for me.

Disney.

We went to disney for a week - park hopper, water parks. 2 adults, 1 kid, 1 free kid. Stayed at a moderate resort. Meal plans. All of that plus air fare was under 5K.

Only pick 1 ever? Disney World.

Been to Disney? Do the cruise.

I have heard the cruise is fabulous! But DW is magical

What do you think the optimal age is to take a child? J wasn't ready for Bush Gardens last December. His favorite part was the tram going into the park and the mud puddles to jump on on the way out.

Hes the perfect age for Disney between now and about 10, then its hit or miss.

I would start at 4 or 5.  DD had just turned 5 when we went and it was so incredibly magical for her.  She still talks about it almost daily.  And she cries because she misses the princesses.

Disney Cruise. Everything is SO much easier. There are tons of things to do for all ages, it's so much easier to head back to the room for a break, no lines, and your day won't be ruined if it rains. AND, you can drop LO off at the kid's club to have fun and you can hit the adult's only sections of the boat. Andplusalso, Disney is the only cruise line that lets you bring on your own alcohol.

Not interested in doing both? I thought they make it easy to do 4 days in the parks and shuttle you to the ship or vice versa.

If not an option- parks . But I have never been on a cruise. I have been to WDW about 6 or 7 times.

I agree that you should do the park first

That said, we did the cruise last year and it was pretty amazing
Hart was too young, but we'd definitely do it again when he's 4-5 yo

Would you consider Land & Sea?
