I am thinking about a 4 night Disney Cruise on the Dream over Thanksgiving 2015.
My kids will be 19 and 17. We are a "Disney" family and have been to WDW about 15 times. We have also been on a Disney Cruise (The Wonder) about 10 years ago.
My children have been very lucky and have also been on 2 other cruises (Royal Caribbean) with several families we are friends with. They have also been to a few all-inclusive vacations. Most recently, this past summer to Mexico (again with several families we are friends with) We went to Mexico celebrating 4 of the kids graduation from High School.
My son is away at college and Thanksgiving is probably the best time for us to go. My daughter will be a senior in high school. I was talking with my son today and "feeling him out" on the idea. I think he is most concerned as to what he will be doing at night. I did explain this is a trip to spend some quality family time and he is fine with that. I just don't want them to be the oldest kids on the ship with a bunch of younger children.
I would greatly appreciate any thoughts/feedback from anyone who has traveled with children this age. I know my kids will enjoy a show or two but they are interested in what other activities are offered for people their age.
Thank you!!
