I have heard amazing things about Disney cruises and your kids are the PERFECT ages so I would say Disney cruise (and I am not one of these Disney fanatics Chat Icon but i def plan on doing the cruise once in our life bc of the rave reviews)

Does your 3 yr old still nap? We took DS on a cruise in nov (he still naps once a day) and while we had a great time - napping on port days was a nightmare!

If he doesn't nap, I'd go for the Disney cruise! There is so much to keep them busy. If he does, I'd go for Beaches most likely.

Have fun!!!!

I am one of those mothers you want to beat b/c I have 2 kids who will sleep anywhere - I'm not worried about the napping situation.

We went to beaches and had an amazing time! Never been on a cruise so I can't compare but they are a great age for beaches.

Re: Which would you choose?

I am dying to take a Disney cruise one day, once we have our family complete with kids who are the right ages, so that's my vote! Keep in mind that I am both a big fan of Disney and cruises, so I'm a bit biased.

I guess I chose Disney cruise.

With Disney, I was able to book a short cruise (4 nights) for much less than the price of beaches & the flight was substantially cheaper. We will stay in Florida at a hotel for a few days. Even with all the extras (excursions & alcohol), it will be well under half the price of a beaches vacation.

I can't justify the cost of beaches. I think a beautiful resort in, say, Aruba or Mexico would cost a fraction of the price & have the same effect on us & the kids. I do know that people LOVE it... I just can't get over how much $$ it costs.

I would pick the Disney cruise.

We went to Beaches last year with a 2yo and 4yo and both my kids did not want to go to the Camp. My 2.5yo was traumatized and got scared of anyone who resembled a camp counselor. My 4yo didn't even seem to enjoy it. Both kids were bored with the sesame show. They are not sesame st fans though.

I would do Beaches but not the camp thing. Not big on being apart.

Re: Which would you choose?

My boss just got back from a Disney Cruise and RAVED about it. He and his wife are pretty picky and opinionated so it had to be good. Chat Icon

They were even considering buying a part of the timeshare or club that they offered while on board.

His DS is 3 and they did the kids club the entire time. He said his DS didn't want to go in the beginning, but by the end he warmed up to it.

Your situation may be different because your two will be there together.

Enjoy! Chat Icon
