Disney Cruise with a Toddler

Is it worth is to take a 4-year old on a Disney cruise or will he enjoy is more when he is older?

Just off the Disney Wonder with my 3.5-year-old. It’s absolutely worth it! He had a great time and is already asking to go back to “Mickey’s Boat!”

We're taking our son when he'll be 2.5. It's up to you. Our kid can have fun in a Target, so I'm not worried about him enjoying it. It's kinda more for us.

PP is right -- my kid had the most amazing time running around IKEA the other week...

That said, he also has been cruising since he was 18 months old and has had a lot of fun on every cruise. As PP said, it's really more for you -- if you think you'd have fun going on a cruise with your child at this age, go for it! 4 is definitely old enough to be able to get excited about things like meeting certain characters or going to the pool. Assuming he's potty trained, he could also go to the kids club, which many kids really enjoy.

If you only have the budget for 1 cruise in the next 2-3 years I might wait. If not one had fun with all 3 kids starting at 6 months!
