Is it possible to cruise a 4 night and spend 4 days at WDW for 4adults/1 kid for $13k?? very flexible with time of year. is this possible?

I think more than possible. All depends on what type of accommodations you are looking at and how many rooms. And the cruiseline - with Disney cruiseline not sure. My family goes on cruises quite often. We normally cruise with Carnival or Royal Caribbean. I usually book quite a bit in advance but we normally sail in a balcony (4 of us in 1 cabin ) and pay around $3000 or so for a 7 night cruise. Of course alcohol and excursions and stuff is extra. You can get some really good deals on 4 night cruises.

Only 2 adults but our last cruise was ~$2500 all in for an interior balcony (Oasis of the Seas) and our last Disney Trip (1 week with 5 days in parks) was just under 1k with heavy travel hacking.

Cut your budget in half and give us a real challenge.

Yes. You can do a 4 night Disney cruise at non-peak times for under $5000. My family of 4 is looking to do 2 verandah cabins in early January for a 4 night dream cruise for around $5000. All 4 in one cabin would be less. That would leave $8000 for disney world. Very realistic budget.

Interior balcony? Anyway, definitely possible on many cruise lines. Possibly possible on Disney. Possible but unlikely on luxury cruise lines - but do any of those even embark on Florida?

Interior balcony?

The Interior balcony overlooks the interior of the ship in contrast to an exterior balcony that overlooks the water.

Yeah, I should have probably called it a Boardwalk view balcony as that would have been clearer. The boardwalk/central park balconies are generally a bit cheaper so I didn't want to misrepresent the room we had.
