[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The previous posters grumping about Disney Cruise lines are just typical of the "Look at how cool and sophisticated I am.  I would never go to Disney World, or dine at Applebee's. Even though Disney Cruise lines is universally praised,  by families,hated it!" types.  Forget about them and just enjoy yourself, you will have a great time.[/quote]

I love Disney World. I do not enjoy Disney Cruises. They suck. Too crowded, not enough to do, too expensive for a cruise.

Don't drink the Kool-Aid, PP![/quote]

And that's exactly how I feel about Disney World. Please tell me what is so great about DW. Standing in long lines for rides, dragging kids around in heat, not being able to go to a restaurant unless you've reserved months in advance ... These are the things I hear about DW.  And huge crowds. Tell me something that would make me want to go because I don't get it. At least the cruise has great restaurants (shrimp, steak, whatever you want), entertainment every night, a kids club that my kids love and actually gives me a break to go to spa or adults only pool or restaurant, and the same waiter in every restaurant for your table which helps service and consistency. Not seeing any of this at DW.[/quote]

I don't go when it's crowded or hot. I don't stand in long lines. I don't have any difficulty getting reservations.    I've had days when my kids were the only kids in line to see Phineas and Ferb and they had 20 minutes alone with those characters to play. I've had days when we walked on to the Haunted Mansion, got off and turned around and walked back on. I've never waited more than 10 minutes for a ride on Soarin' or the Star Wars ride or Space Mountain.

There is pretty good food in lots of places at WDW, especially the resorts. There is a lot of charming design and whimsy there. There are friendly people there. There are shows that the kids love, especially the "street" entertainment in Epcot. They have one of the best waterparks in the US. They have DisneyQuest, a multistory video game arcade, that my kids love. They have spectacular fireworks shows. There are great kids' activities at the Deluxe resorts (Animal Kingdom) We usually get the kids an in-room sitter or drop them off at a kids' club for an adults only meal once or twice while we are there.

The stuff that you like about the cruise? It's all availabe at WDW and it's better done and there's a LOT more of it.

I find this hard to believe. I went during the peak of covid and all rides were running but parks were at 25-30 percent capacity as per FL rules and we still waited in lines for 20-30 minutes. [/quote]
