Is this a good idea w/ 2yr old & 6 yr old

[mjenni27]

We have a 2 yr old and 6 yr old. Is a cruise a good idea? Is there much for them to do on board or would they be bored? Is it worth the cost or should we just consider 7 days at WDW?

Ask me about the 2 year old in 3 weeks!

Seriously, the 2 year old is cheaper than the 6 year old, I assume because the 2 year old cannot go to the kids club. They have to be 3 and potty trained. The 2 year old can go to the nursery for babysitting, but there is an additional charge & the hours are limited.

I think if it were me I would wait until both kids were over 3 rather than having to juggle one kid in the clubs & one with you or in the nursery.

I am leaving 9/7 with a 4 & 2 yr old and I'll let you know also. the 2 yr old will be going to the nursery occasionally and the 4 yr old is insisting on going to her "club". WDW has been fantastic for both kids since they were babies. They just love the characters!

On our first cruise our youngest daughter had just turned two. If it was the trip of a lifetime I would consider waiting until the youngest is three. If you thought you would have the opportunity to go again than I would go. The best advice I can give is that your child will still want to do all of the things that a 2 year old want to do at home on the ship. You will have to stop for naps, maybe go to bed a little earlier than you would like, etc. but still we did have a lot of fun. We are going again in another month and leaing our 6 month old son home with grandma and grandpa.
