Help! Portofino or Yacht/Beach - Cruise

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Everyone! I'm looking for some suggestions. We have the opportunity to choose between 2 trips. The 1st is in March staying at the Portofino with 5 day Unlimited Admission Universal and IOA pass and 2 day Disney Hopper pass. The 2nd is in July spending 4 days at the Yacht/Beach club with a 2 day Disney Hopper pass and then 3 days on the Disney cruise. We are a family of 3. We have a six year old daughter. In 2004 we stayed at the Boardwalk and absolutely loved it and really enjoyed the Disney parks. We also took our daughter on NCL cruise last year and she loved being on the ship. So, do we try something different and new and go with Universal where we have never visited or go back to the Disney parks and cruise which I know my daughter will love. It's like getting 2 trips in 1! I'm sure Universal is great, but if anyone has any experience with a 6 year old there I would love to know what you think! Thanks for any advice or suggestions!!!

I would choose the Yacht/Beach Clubs---Cruise combo. Portofino Bay is very nice and l like the Universal parks, but I think that you would get a lot more bang for your buck with the Disney resort and cruise option. You can also easily upgrade your park hopper passes if you want to spend more time in the Disney parks.
