[quote=Anonymous]We went twice and loved it both times, though won't go back.  Kids were 3 and 5 the first time and we went with a big extended family, went back two years later with just us.  Those were the best ages because the kids wanted to spend hours in the kids club while we got to chill, but we young enough to be enchanted by the magic/characters.
It's been a few years but we loved:

*that it's so kid friendly.  Everyone was absolutely lovely and kind; they love spreading magic so you'd be walking down the hall and suddenly Mickey would appear and hold your kids hand, or you'd get a special dessert at dinner for your kids, that kind of thing
*the private island is awesome. So much fun
*the meals are entertaining.  And there's a program where halfway through they take the kids to the kids club. Also, one night we didn't want a big meal and ate somewhere else on board, which was also great
*the rooms. I went on a cruise when I was in college and the room was super tiny.  These felt huge by comparison. But definately get a balcony
*love the smaller ships, which involve less walking around and much fewer people
*the entertainment: the shows are great and there's lots to do

The downsides: there are still LOTS of people on board and the pools are tiny, so on sea days it feels super crowded.  And there weren't many activities on port days, so once when we didn't get off we were kind of bored
Boarding seems to take forever, as does disembarking (make sure to do 5-days or more; it would be too short otherwise).
It's really hard to find deck chairs because people put their stuff on them at 8am and leave for the day. So annoying.

We're not cruise people and won't go back now that the kids are older but we really enjoyed both trips.
