Thoughts on Disney World before and after a cruise

[18sprint]

Boy, we are sure in the minority on this one! We have done it three different ways. 1) Cruise at the beginning, then vacation at the parks, 2) a week at the parks, then cruise, then back to the parks for another 4 days, and finally, 3) Parks then cruise at the end. My wife and I completely agree, we love arriving 1 day prior to the cruise, spend 1 day/night at WDW, then head to the cruise via Disney cruise transportation from our resort (usually OKW). Then after the cruise, we go back to WDW for a minimum of a week but usually 10 days. To us, the cruises seem to go very fast but we really get relaxed on them. It's like a recharge after working all year then we're ready for fun & relaxing at WDW.
