Question: Has anyone taken the Disney World Cruise and WDW visit?
I have just started researching a Disney World Cruise for myself, husband and our son who will be four and a half by the end of next year when we plan to take the Cruise.
I need some info and tips from some who have been on the four day and three night cruise.
I have chosen the Polynesian Resort for our stay at DW, but I want a particular section to stay in. I want the Hawaii with a MK view. Can a travel agent arrange this?
Also, which do you do first—- the Cruise or DW?
If you do not fly into Orlando, where do you get the bus to the Cruise ship? I understand that they transport you to the ship from the airport, but what happens if you do not fly in?
Do the little ones enjoy the cruise?
I would really appreciate hearing from those who have done this.
Thanks in advance.

My wife and I have never done the land and sea package but we have been on MANY Disney Cruises. First,
Polynesian Resort~~ Great choice, beautiful location and easy access to Magic Kingdom. Perfect for your four year old. I do not believe that you can request a certain section of the hotel, unless you stay in concierge.

Next, we believe that you can decide what you do first, cruise or the theme parks, however you need to keep in mind which day your cruise departs.

Not flying? I am most certain that you can catch a Disney Cruise Line bus from either a resort or one of the parks, you do not necessarily have to fly in on the day of your cruise.

Little ones enjoy the cruise? Mickey Mouse is on the cruise with you, how can a child not enjoy it? There is almost a whole deck devoted to the children. My wife and I get jealous every time we cruise because we cannot go play with them. They have a wonderful staff to take care of the little ones and set up games and activities. We usually see the kids not want to leave the Oceaneer’s Club because they are having so much fun. There are Disney stage shows, movies, activities and much more devoted to all ages on the ship. If your child does not enjoy it, I would be shocked.

Now, make sure you and your husband get to get an evening out at Palo’s for dinner. There is an extra charge (about $ 10) but it is definitely worth it. While your son is having fun with his new friends you can enjoy some quiet time at the adult pool or take your son with you to the family pool. The characters are always hanging around. But make sure you all get a nap in the afternoon since the fun doesn’t end until late!!! When you get off of your 3 or 4 night cruise you are going to be addicted like myself and my wife are!! It is, I think, better than the parks! Be ready to want to book a 7 day!

I hope I was a little helpful. While you are enjoying it, we will be jealous! Have fun!
