Hello everyone! I'm a new poster to the CB, as I usually hang around on the Cruise Board. But I do read about you all everyday (I just adore those baby bird pictures!) here on the CB, and know you are the best bunch to ask for some honest opinions (I hope this is the right place for me to post). Here's the scoop: My DH, DS(5 at the time), and I took a Disney Cruise a year ago, and LOVED it! The most wonderful family vacation we ever had. Can't say enough about how much we loved the ship and crew, and just cruising in general. Well, we have another cruise booked for next summer--7 night Western Caribbean. My husband has suggested that we think about doing WDW instead, and the idea is starting to intrigue me...
Neither of us have been there in over 20 years (if I'm correct, it was pretty much just the MK back then?), and my DS, who'll be nearly eight when we go, just loves theme parks (and swimming---those pools on cruise ships are tiny, and I can just imagine the look on his face when he sees the Poly volcano pool slide for the first time
). I have in my mind the pros and cons of the cruise, and between reading the DISboards, and several WDW books, I have a general idea of what I'd like and dislike about a WDW vacation. We thought about doing a land/sea package, but would really like to see a lot more of the surrounding Orlando area (Sea World, Universal, etc...), during the week we'd be there. So please tell me, what makes WDW so SPECIAL for you?! What are your likes and dislikes, annoyances, favorites...anything! And believe me, I do realize I'm probably thinking WAY TOO MUCH about this (but I bet NONE of you can relate to that
). And, after the tragic events of this past year I am so unbelievably grateful to have the means to even consider taking such a trip, and I thank God evey day for the true blessings I have. A vacation is just icing on the cake.
I'd really love to know what you all think, and I thank you so much in advance!
