Disney World or Disney Cruise??? Decisions, decisions... HELP!
Have you been watching the news? Disney World. - MagicalCaprice

I had finally talked myself into cruises being ok, and then, that happened. 😁 - Sweet_Irish_Cream 2596.0 #20 11:36AM
That accident had everything to do with the captain being an idiot and nothing to do with cruise safety. He is responsible to give the abandon ship order and stay until all guest are off board. He just took off. He also was not on the approved course when they hit that reef. And most appallingly they had not done their lifeboat drill! We did ours on the Disney cruise before we left the dock! - Pixarprincess 531.4 #216 11:41AM
Did you hear the captain took one of the first boats off and left so many to fight for themselves in chaos. I'm happy he's going to jail. - Nyghtngale 547.9 #205 11:41AM
I am just catching up on that story. So so sooo sad. - BooEve123 800.6 #117 11:43AM
Such an idiot. And so very sad for those who didn't make it. What a senseless accident. - Sweet_Irish_Cream 2596.0 #20 11:43AM
The point is, Disney World is superior. - MagicalCaprice 480.6 #249 11:44AM
No I'm sure it is. 😊 - Sweet_Irish_Cream 2596.0 #20 11:46AM
how sad and disgusting at the same time. crew had no idea what to do - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint 1803.2 #42 11:55AM
I just want to punch the so called "Captin". What a jerk. - MagicalCaprice 480.6 #249 12:06PM
Well, not being a very manly man, I guess the Captain took the Women and Children first literally. - splashphotoCM 880.9 #102 12:06PM
The parent corporation for that ship is Carnival. They are horrible and I would never cruise with them. I have been on two DCL and I never felt unsafe. - Lelundrial 341.7 #429 12:50PM
What exactly happened? - theRealDisneygirlforevr 175.3 #1926 2:06PM
Agree the disney cruise was SO much better than any other cruise I've been on, in every aspect, safety included - Pixarprincess 531.4 #216 2:08PM
Off the coast of Italy the capital veered off course hitting a reef, the power went out and boat began listing to the side. Regardless of this they kept delaying removing passengers from the sinking ship. Things went downhill from there. People are still missing and the boat is resting on its side in the ocean. The captain has been arrested on multiple charges of manslaughter - Pixarprincess 531.4 #216 2:11PM
Captain not capital - Pixarprincess 531.4 #216 2:11PM
My brother went to school to be a ship captain and is currently working his way up the ladder, and from what I understand cruise ship captains are usually the most unreliable captains - ladylikesdisney 924.7 #94 3:23PM

Cruise - donnievegas 1127.5 #73 11:35AM
Disney World, then a Disney Cruise. 😉 - Nyghtngale
547.9 #205 11:37AM
Both! Wear yourself out at the parks then relax on a cruise! I loved our land and sea Disney Cruise when I was a teen! - cynDOLEwhip
744.1 #137 11:40AM
We did 5 days at Disney world than 7 on the cruise. We could have done 2 weeks on the cruise there was so much to do. - SteamboatAndy

Do the cruise! It looks amazing and eat at animation paint restaurant. So cool. - lesley.belle.

The Animator's Palette is in the normal dining rotation. Do bring a camera to that one. - Lelundrial 341.7 #429 3:17PM
Disney World (my opinion) - JanAriel
8.5 #7340 11:34AM
I believe some of the cruise packages include a couple days in WDW if you leave from Florida...you could do both! =0) - iyuzMickey
509.7 #231 11:35AM
I know I saw that but is a couple of days enough to get the full experience there? - GoofyFace 18.0 #5286 11:37AM
Disney World! 👍 ✨°O°✨ - LMAO-Asturi

Cruise - Pixarprincess
531.4 #216 11:38AM
The cruise is fun, but a lot of the activities are for kids and teens. For adults Its good if you like sun bathing and learning to fold towels into animal shapes. I'd say go to disney world, more to see and do. - BlackCanary86
40.9 #3976 11:38AM
There was TONS to do on the Disney dream for adults! I spent less than 2 hours sitting by the pool on the whole trip - Pixarprincess 531.4 #216 11:42AM
no casinos on disney ships; i'm not a serious gambler, but my husband and i enjoyed the cheapy slots after dinner on cruise we went on - ima-pirateswife

woah reallly :( I understand why not but same here I loved walking by the roulette table and throwing 5 down on black :-D - BooEve123 800.6 #117 11:45AM
A whole $5 Boo! - donnievegas 1127.5 #73 11:49AM
Disneyworld it's amazing and a incredible experience - MikaDreamsEverythingDisney

the month, that is. - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint 1803.2 #42 11:59AM
I suggest going to Disney World. Both seem to be wonderful, but Disney World has so much to offer, and although the cruise has plenty to offer as well, the fact remains that Disney World has **more** to offer. I went in 1997 before they added the Animal Kingdom and plenty more. Even still, I felt like I wouldn't be able to see even half of it. Turns out, it took one week to see the majority of it. So I would personally choose WDW. I'm sure you'll have lots of fun either way though! - nappyrocks2
5.9 #9181 11:59AM
It depends on what you like to do. If you love the sea and beach, go to cruise... If you love rides, go for WDW... If you choose WDW, go there when they have a special events (christmas time is awesome!) - otilegna
883.1 #101 12:12PM
I would say wdw, but you can do a land and sea thing when you do both, if you do go to wdw post pics on the wdw side, if you can't do both then go to wdw! - nodell111
153.3 #38 12:15PM
We've done the cruise/WDW twice (anyone remember The Big Red Boat?!). We hit WDW first, then relaxed on the cruise. - Gia
785.7 #121 12:17PM
Thats easy WDW. - Motorboatrider
37.8 #4074 12:19PM
Disney world! - JazzSingingMermaid
338.6 #439 12:47PM
How about WDW this year and DCL next year? For one thing it is best to reserve your stateroom a year in advance for DCL. The room you want might already be gone. - Lelundrial
341.7 #429 12:52PM
Thanks everyone for the input it's making the decision much easier. ;) - GoofyFace
18.0 #5286 12:54PM
Both! In June, my family will be doing a week at WDW, 5 nights on the Dream, another week at WDW. The best part about DCL is the interest free financing. - 415beachgirl
469.0 #261 2:05PM
If your taking the cruise from California then my vote go to WDW. - Bambi.
595.2 #185 2:08PM
Cruise! They are so much fun and all-inclusive. - MXPrincess399
482.1 #246 2:12PM
We are doing the 3 day Disney cruise to Bahamas to get married then go to disneyworld after we return to port for like 4 days. I wanted to do the alaska but then I looked it up and the boat that goes in ca dosnt have any of the fun watersides and water activities.. So that's what sold me on fl. We took it as if we're spending that much to fly to Florida we should just go to disneyworld.. Can't wait!! Hth - jeanicej
9.6 #6911 2:12PM
Ok more seriously though what cruise vs wdw and what time of year? - Pixarprincess
531.4 #216 2:12PM
The price of cruises might go down - Mouse4life
1085.8 #78 2:15PM
I hope so I have fun on cruises! - donnievegas 1127.5 #73 2:23PM
I haven't done either. But I'm going in March and would like to do both. - splashphotoCM
880.9 #102 2:32PM
