We are thinking about taking advantage of KSF and taking this cruise with our 5.5 DS and about to be 3 year old DD. I had been looking into the possibility of WDW (possibly staying offsite) for a less expensive Disney vacation. So, we really hadn't been thinking about this, but then I saw the KSF promotion.
It would be just under $2500 for the four of us in a verandah room - does this sound good? We might have been able to stay off-site and do WDW for less, but with additional cost of rental car and food, we might have wound up close ago the same.
So, I guess I'm just looking for general advice and info on this cruise. Any thoughts on Grand Cayman and Cozumel? The date of this sailing works better for us than the Cozumel/Castaway Cay, I think - plus a little less expensive.
Do we have to fly into Miami or can we get Disney transportation from FLL as well?
How is the character interaction? My kids are not as into the rides but VERY into the characters - at least DS. I'm hoping DD won't be too scared by them.
How often do you see them - and where? Do you get fireworks on every cruise?
Any other tips for a first time Disney cruiser? (DH and I have cruised before, pre-kids).
Kids have been to WDW once before, DS was 4 and DD 15 mos. DD will turn 3 a week before the trip, is very into princesses, and I'd like to celebrate her birthday on the cruise (a party would be less expensive - ha!)
