 | re: Port of NO Pitching to Disney Cruise Line - Mr. Tom Morrow on 2/18/13 at 9:01 pm [quote]Actually I've heard great things about these cruises. Essentially, Disney "babysits" the kids for several hours at a time while the adults can go spend time in the adult area having fun. [/quote]
While I haven't been on one, several friends have and they loved it for this reason. They said...

Yeah man the International Gateway. The Boardwalk is my favorite place to stay because of ESPN Club, Jelly Rolls, and its proximity to Epcot. I absolutely love the Boardwalk. O...

I guess it just doesn't bother me. It takes additional planning and a little more patience, but not something that would prevent me from taking a vacation. :cheers:...

I'm not trying to be ugly, but a WDW vacation is comparable in price to most other vacations, outside of a cheap beach rental. If you know how to plan, a WDW vacation can be inexpensive, but it requires some thinking. Like bringing your o...
