Disney Cruise

| We are planning a trip on a Disney Cruise. We will be taking our four year old with us, but plan on leaving our 21 month old at home. He will be 24 months when we take the cruise. The reason is that he does not sleep well at night and we are worried that none of us will sleep well since we will be in the same room. Plus, we need to use a crib tent because he will otherwise jump out of the crib. And, whenever we take him anywhere he runs away from us & will not sit still. I am feeling a bit guilty for not taking him (he will be with my parents whom he loves). I think he will be happy at home or happy on the cruise. I am wondering if I will not enjoy the cruise because of the guilt. We are going with several other families who are taking their infants/toddlers/preschoolers. We will be the only ones leaving a child behind. Any thoughts? Thanks! |

| Isn't it kind of late to ask this? Can you change your plans at this point? If not, do you really want to ask what people think because it could make you feel worse. |

| You shouldn't feel guilty. Focus on your making it a fabulous trip for your 4 year old (which would be hindered with the younger one along). Your younger child will enjoy being with his grandparents and you'll all have a graet time. Enjoy! |

We did the same thing last year. Don't feel guilty, the 2year old won't know any different. I told our 4 year old that we would go again when her sister was 4. Relax and have fun. If you're stressed and guilty the entire time you will stress out your 4yo.

| OP here- We decided to postpone the trip for now. We had paid only a deposit with the travel agent, which is refundable. I would rather take both kids next year when we can all enjoy the trip. Thanks for everyone's support! |

That is a great decision!
I personally think that we should all do everything together as an family,no matter if we are going to sleep at night or anything else. |

Agree. I think you would have felt guilty every time you looked at pictures from your trip. |
