You sure you want to go on another cruise over a WDW Trip?

Yeah I’m 75% sure. September is still pretty hot and airfare is pretty high right now. I wouldn’t fly to FL to cruise over going to WDW, leaving out of SD is more doable.

It is, and we’re doing one this fall, but even though SD is an easy drive from our house, we feel a huge part of the overall value proposition is Disney’s private islands in the Bahamas. If they start slashing prices on SD departures, we would probably do a few more to accelerate the journey to Pearl.

My husband has unlimited PTO. It's ok. He has a great boss who really stresses work/life balance so taking off hasn't ever been an issue. But it's inconvenient in that there's not a set number of days off in our heads to use up every year so I'm pretty sure he takes off fewer days now than he did at his last job (granted, he had a generous amount of PTO there).

I'm from Europe, and I know our working conditions are different that of the U.S, but forgive me for say, without knowing if you have 10 or 20 days off per year, why not just ask for it?

Yearly I have 35 days off, with pay, weekends not including in those days. I can get more, but without pay. My experience is if you don't ask you don't get anything. My vacation days are written into my contract, so even with a new boss, they can't take it away.

We're east coast and not yet done a cruise. Our default will be to just do the Bahamas, for the private islands. But I've been intrigued by west coast/Alaska options as an excuse to see other parts of the country before/after the cruise, instead of just going back to FL again.
