[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the OP of the Christmas in the Sun thread , and just read the Disney Cruise thread, and wondering if we should consider a cruise.  But I am not sure of the logistics for excursions for the youngest.  We will have a 1, 3 and 5 year old.  What happens at ports?  Are people bringing car seats?  Is there a lot of waiting around for transportation?

I know the kids club is a big hit, and I think that’s not for us this trip.[/quote]

Did a Disney Alaska cruise with our daughter's family in June: grandsons 3 and 1.  I stayed behind to watch the boys during one adult only excursion (tickets were sold out for the family version).  Otherwise, the little guys went on all of the excursions and had fun.  Train ride, salmon hatchery, panning for gold, lumberjack show, etc.  During at sea days, the one year old went to the nursery and 3 year old to the kids club for a couple of hours so that my daughter and her son could have a break.  We chose this trip specifically because littles are accommodated.

The one place where we had a bit of trouble was at some of the dinners.  The restaurants were very noisy with entertainment, etc. and the 3 year old had a hard time waiting through multiple courses.  I might utilize the burger place more, or do more room service (included in price) if they were my kids.  Or put them in the nursery and enjoy a more adult dinner.  But he got used to it by the end of the cruise and The Animator's Palette was amazing for him.[/quote]

The 1 yr old went to a nursery?! Geez.[/quote]

Yes, it is really cute and they took him to nap and to have one hour of play time.  Gave them 3 hours of adult time, you know, so they could relax on vacation.

You do know that many, many children in the US go to daycare during the day?[/quote]
