Cruise or Park?

[AMG]

I do have a question?

I am planning a trip in December and I have been debating on whether or not to do the cruise or the park. I have been to the park multiple times but never a cruise.

What is the difference between the 4 day and the 7 day. With the 4 day don't you get some time in the park but not with the 7 day. I really don't want to give up my time in the park. :confused: :confused:

Is December a bad time to be cruising?

Thanks

Having done our first Disney vacation last year, I can't give a lot of advice. However, I will say that the land-and-sea package had its advantages. We choose the 4-day park option (3 days on the Wonder) and felt it was the perfect amount of time. We spent most of our time at the MK or the Poly beach. DS5 had a blast.

The cruise was so much fun that we booked a 7-day Magic cruise before we even got off. The downfall, is that the time really did fly by fast. We were on the boat Thur about 2:00, spent Fri in Nassau and Sat at Castaway Cay. Our plan was to just relax after running around the MK for four days and we stuck to that (no ressies at Palo or the Spa), but it still went by so FAST.

Despite that, we are repeating the 4-day park/3-day Wonder in '04. We thought, having been on the boat two previous times, it wouldn't be so overwhelming and the cruise would seem more leisurely.

Good luck making your decision.
