New too Disney cruise

[matsterrocks]

My wife and I just got back from a couple of days at Disney and then a 7 night eastern cruise with Holland America. We had a great time We now want to take the kids on a Disney Cruise plus a few days at the parks. I noticed that they have 7 day packages on there web site but didn't notice anything with a 7 day cruise plus 4 days at the park. Do they have this type of package. What is my best way to book something like this? I'm way ahead of the game as my daughter is only 2 and don't want to take her until she is 4/5. Just planning ahead

I don't think there are any packages that incorporate the 7 night cruise plus WDW stays. There are 3 night and 4 night "land and sea" packages, but from what I've read on these boards it works out better if you book the land and sea separately on your own (less expensive, more control over hotel choice and park ticket options). I imagine it would be better to book the two aspects of your trip separately with the 7 night cruise. Good luck!

We just did the 4 night cruise with 5 days in WDW. I can tell you that it was DEFINITELY cheaper with us doing it on our own!!!!! We were able to use a discount code and get our room rate cheaper. We were able to get the exact tickets that we wanted. It was much better our way. If you can take the time to do it yourself it should pay off to do it that way. Check and see.

We did the seven day followed by three days at WDW. We just booked WDW seperately and got three-day park hoppers. It worked out wonderfully.

you'll do much better costwise going it alone vs a package for 7 day....right after hurricane Frances, we stayed at Embassy Suites Lake Buena Vista for $100 per night...far better amenities than comparable on-site hotels (All Star et al)...

The only advantage that I can figure in booking any land/sea package is convenience....

we've done the 3 and 4 day cruises as part of the 7 day packages and they can add extra days on - it'll depend on when you are going - during a busy season you can get good prices on the hotel rooms - but during the low season you would be better booking separately
