Hi Yvonne!
Hearing that your daughter suggested a Disney Cruise made me smile! I think you have a future Disney Parks Moms Panelist in your house! You will have the vacation of a lifetime whether you choose a trip to the Walt Disney World Resort or aboard the Disney Cruise Line.
My toddler loves visiting the Walt Disney World Resort as well as sailing onboard a Disney Cruise! You may be familiar with the wonderful family attractions found at the Walt Disney Resort but let me share some of the many reasons why cruising with kiddos is packed with fun and adventure, too! Onboard, your kids can enjoy
Youth Clubs, movies,
aqua play areas and pools,
Character Experiences, Deck Parties, Royal Court Royal Tea and so much more, all while traveling to exotic locations! Another reason why we love cruising with a little guy is all of the fun activities onboard are just steps away from our stateroom door. If my son is a "Mr. Grumpy Gills," being a short walk from our stateroom has its definite advantages!
Being a fellow mom, I completely understand the importance of vacationing on a budget! The best budget-savvy time to take a land or sea vacation is by visiting during the off-season. Other ways to reduce the cost of your Disney Cruise Line vacation is to book your cruise early, explore various Stateroom Categories and find a port closest to your home. I notice you and your family are from Texas! Currently, during certain times of the year, Disney Cruise Line offers sailings out of Galveston, TX!
No matter which Disney vacation you choose (land, sea or both!) your kids will be guaranteed a trip filled with Disney magic!
