Answer 3

Yes, this a perfect time.  We just returned from the Disney Cruise Ship Magic and we had the best vacation ever.  Disney is very well organized.  From the moment we landed at the airport, Disney was waiting for us as we signed on for all ground transportation.

To start, go to the www.disneycruise.com web site.  You can get a free DVD mailed to you and the site has pretty much all the key information.  If you want more data, go to www.cruisecritic.com.  This site has professional and recent reviews of all cruise lines and all cruise ship...both good and bad points/experiences which helped us prepare for our trip.

Disney will send you all the information you need for your cruise including arrival/embark details, shore excursions, dining schedules, activities, shows, lectures/seminars, etc.  The information is sent to you each day with schedules for each age group and venue.  Plus, while on the cruise, Disney broadcasts key information of the cruise on several channels.  They have activities for kids, teens, couples, and even singles/single parents.

Disney cabins are bigger than average....almost like a mini suite on other cruise lines...the two bathroom set up is great to help get everyone started every day washing, brushing teeth, etc.

You'll have a great time!

Answer 4

disney is worth the money. Yes it is more expensive than a RCCI or Princess cruise to the same itinerary.  Disney pays attention to detail.  They have GREAT kid friendly programs (as you would expect from disney). go to www.disneycruise.disney.go.com  

have a wonderful time with your son and family.

Answer 5

Absolutely.
