A Couple Of Questions

[kristen821]

I WILL BE CRUISING FOR THE FIRST TIME AND HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS. WE ARE PLANNING ON ARRIVING SUNDAY DEC. 5 AND WILL GOING ON THE 4 DAY CRUISE. ON THURSDAY WHEN WE RETURN WE ARE PLANNING TO GO TO WDW FOR FOUR NIGHTS AND STAYING AT THE ALL-STAR RESORT AND GETTING THE SILVER PACKAGE SO EVERYTHING IS PAID FOR BEFORE WE GO. DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THE CRUISE LINE WILL TRANSPORT ME BACK TO DISNEY DOING IT THIS WAY? WHAT TIME CAN I EXPECT TO ARRIVE AT DISNEY TO START OUR DAY THERE? ALSO, I WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE HAS TAKEN THE THREE DAY AND FOUR DAY CRUISES, IS THERE A BIG DIFFERENCE? WOULD YOU SUGGEST 4 DAY OVER 3 DAY? AND ONE MORE! THERE IS A BIG PRICE DIFFERENCE IN A ROOM WITH A VERANDAH IS IT WORTH THE PRICE DIFFERENCE. I WILL BE TRAVELING WITH A 6 AND 2 YEAR OLD ANY SUGGESTIONS WILL BE APPRECIATED. THANKS

The Disney buses will take you back to WDW for $25.00 per person regardless of age (You should book your seats on the bus ahead of time).

The ship arrives back at PC early Sunday morning, but most people do not leave right away (actually nobody wants to leave). When you leave usually depends on whether you stay for breakfast and what seating (1st or 2nd) you've selected to dine.

We usually choose 2nd seating which means we are having breakfast around eightish and leaving the ship around nineish. The bus trip to WDW is a little over an hour, but you don't necessarily get dropped off at your resort. There may only be a couple of drop off locations which you will have to get to your resort from there. Call your Travel Agent or DCL direct to get the particulars.

I have rented a towncar in the past for my family of four and the cost was only around $100.00. Since the cost is the same as the bus, you don't wait for everyone to board the bus, and the towncar only makes one stop which is your resort the towncar can be the way to go. If you're really excited to get to WDW I recommend getting some kind of car service.

We love rooms with a verandah; I highly recommend them, but you have to realize there is so much to do that you are rarely in your room except to sleep.

3 or 4 day: There used to be more of a difference when the 4 day cruise went to Freeport, but now it is only an extra day at sea. Don't get me wrong any day on the ship is a great day.

There was a huge difference between the three and four day cruises!

Differences:
1 more show
1 more night to enjoy the restaurants
1 more day to enjoy the spa
1 day with no need to get up and out doing something - SO RELAXING!
no need to rush back from Castaway Cay to pack - because it's not the last day on the 4 day.
the last night is so busy - last dinner, Disney dreams show, the Farewell and having to get your luggage in the hall not later than 11 pm
on sea day there is brunch at Palos
on sea day there are all kinds of extra entertainment - and fun "classes" for both adults and kids.
