Wish or Dream for 3 year old?

[Anna131517]

You're right that the Wish is actually only 4 nights! I kind of glossed over that because they do both do two stops, but the Dream itinerary has one more day at sea. To be honest, I'm a little hesitant about doing even the 4 nights and was initially thinking about just a 2 or 3 night cruise as we've never done any sort of cruise and aren't sure we will like it for a few reasons. This is really an entirely different topic, but these concerns are being re-affirmed as I'm looking more into reviews of both ships. In particular, the concerns I have about cruises generally are being stuck in a crowded place and seasickness. I know the seasickness issue is likely dependent on weather and hopefully not an issue on such a large shop, but I'm seeing reviews of people saying they had to wait 30 minutes at least for just about everything on the Wish and that Castaway Cay is jam-packed and like a city beach on a holiday. All of that sounds deeply unappealing and has me re-thinking this entirely. I don't like crowds and take great pains to go to WDW in the off-season and strategize to avoid crowds, but it seems like some of this is unavoidable on the Wish (unless perhaps I guess I book concierge and can snag a cabana at Castaway Cay?). And my husband HATES crowds and is going to be miserable if we're standing in lines all day (not to mention, the 3 year old will be bouncing off the walls)

Is the Dream likely to be less crowded since it's older? Or should I just go do a resort-only stay at the parks for the laid-back Disney fun that I'm looking for?

We’ve been to Castaway Cay with the Fantasy and the Wish. I never felt like it was crowded,
and I hate crowds. We do get off the ship as soon as we can, and get back on around 2-3 pm.
