I am so confused about what to do about our next vaca!! As of right now, we are booked for 4 days at the Poly at WDW followed by a 4 day Dream cruise. It is myself, my hubby and our four kids aged 1,3,5 and 8. My daughter will actually just turn 3 on Oct 13- so this trip was booked for Oct 6 cruise as then we save for her ticket at WDW.
Now, I see the double dip Magic cruise come up Oct 20. I LOVE CC, and so this grabbed my attention. Also, the fact that we could book one of the 1 bedroom suites on the magic as of now... which I would love to do as well. If we did the magic cruise, we would not split with WDW- cruise only.
Which would you chose? for the record, my 8 yr old has been to WDW twice ( the most recent being this past september when we split one day at MK with a 3 day dream cruise). My husband has never done DCL, and neither have my middle kids.
The advantages of the Dream are:
- covered splash area for my 1 yr old
- i have been on the ship and loved it
- can split it with WDW
Disadvantages:
- shorter cruise
-only one stop at CC
- would have to book two interior staterooms.
The advantages of the Magic are:
- concierge
-bigger room that we can all easily fit
-smaller ship
-two stops at CC
Disadvantages:
- small uncovered splash area for the baby.. I am worried he would be hot
- older ship
-flights a bit more to Miami
- no aquaduck
