Answer :
I'll try to answer all of your questions as best I can!
1. When is the best time to go:
-If you're going to visit Disney World, the best times to go are when school is in session and there is no major holiday or event happening. Since you are a family of 4, I don't know if you have children in school. If you do, and don't mind pulling them out for a week, this is when I would recommend going
-The end of January or early February. Early to Mid-May. The first week of June. The last week of August. Anytime in September or October. Early November. Early December.
-If you will have kids in school, try to avoid going over major holidays like Christmas or Thanksgiving. The parks will max out each day. Try going the first week they are out of school, or the last week before they go back. These weeks will be the best bet for you in that case, as most people travel in the middle of the summer.
-For the cruise line, anytime is fine to go, provided you avoid hurricane season. If you'd like to ensure warmer weather for your cruise, try to plan your trip between March-September sometime. It gets chillier in the winter.
2. The best rides are really subject to the opinion of each rider. The following are quite popular:
-Space Mountain
-Splash Mountain
-Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
-The Haunted Mansion
-Pirates of the Caribbean
-Jungle Cruise
-Test Track
-Mission: Space
-Spaceship Earth
-Dinosaur
-Expedition Everest
-Tower of Terror
-Rock N Roller Coaster
3. The cruise is fantastic! There are so many things for both kids & adults to do. There are adult-only areas that you can go to if you don't have kids with you. If you do, there are activities for the kids, and really fun/themed pools for the kids. There's water slides, Disney characters, and themed restaurants. At night there are shows in the theater. The ports that you stop at are all beautiful - especially Disney's private island Castaway Cay. Only people on Disney Cruises get to see it here.
4. Souvenirs are also subject to each person's likes & dislikes. I always like to get a picture frame with the year on it, as well as some kind of t-shirt. You have to get a pair of mouse ears, it's just tradition! You can wear them around the park, and then keep them forever. If you have a favorite character, you can stock up on pens/stationary/stickers/mugs and anything else that has them featured on it. Disney has no shortage of souvenirs! The best souvenir you can get is the pictures that you take yourself though. Don't forget to take lots of pictures!
5. A whole trip is hugely varied in cost depending on if you stay on Disney property or off property. Some Disney hotels like Pop Century will only cost you $600-$800 for the week. Grand hotels like the Polynesian can cost up to $3500 or more for a week. Also, if you eat at more fancy sit-down restaurants, your bill each night will be $100-$200. If you eat quick service meals, it will be much lower. Airfare again is impossible for me to calculate without knowing where you are flying from, and when. On average, you can usually get a plane ticket for $150 round trip - but I have seen them up to $400. As a rule of thumb, the earlier you book the better. Plane tickets tend to rise the closer you get to the date.
6. If you're just going to go to Disney World, give yourself a week. It's a long enough time to see the 4 main parks, and still have some relaxation at the pool. Any shorter, and you will be rushed. Longer is always better but then it gets more expensive. Most people I know go to Disney for a week.
7. The land & sea pack is great if you want to do both Disney and the Cruise. If you do this, make sure you make a list of what you really want to see in the parks because you won't have time to do everything. If you have a priority list, you can make sure you don't miss anything you really want to do. If if's your first visit, I would suggest just visiting Disney World, as there is so so much to do. If you really want to do a cruise, consider just going the week long cruise. There are plenty of ports to see, and plenty to do on the boat. Combining the two is nice if you've already seen Disney before, but might make you feel rushed if you haven't.
Have a great trip!
Answer :
I would HIGHLY recommend that you buy a guidebook or two. Pretty much every question you asked could take paragraphs to answer. I also recommend this excellent planning website: http://www.allearsnet.com
Disney cruises are generally the highest rated cruises at any travel website you look at. And if you have the money, then yes, I would do the combo pack. You can go on their website and get a quote for the price for everything. Anytime kids are in school is better for the parks.
Answer :
I don't know too much about Disney Cruise lines, however, www.key2disneydining.com has a lot of great information as far as Disney World goes. They give information on menus, prices and everything. They give you all this info for every single restaurant in Disney World. They also talk about dining plans, kosher meals and things like that. I highly recommend you take a look if you want to learn more about WDW.
