My family went on a $6,000 Disney World vacation and a $5,900 Disney Cruise, and the latter was a much better deal

My family of four recently went on a Disney World vacation and took a Disney cruise.
On the Disney cruise, we got to see different places and explore new countries.

As a travel planner at Marvelous Mouse Travels, clients often ask me if I prefer Disney cruises or Disney World vacations.

My family did a split trip where we spent four days at Disney World and four days on the Disney Wish, which gave me a great insight into the differences between the two options.

Here's why I think the cruise was a much better value.

We started our trip at Disney World with fun in the theme parks.

After visiting the parks, we boarded the Disney Wish for a four-night Bahamian cruise.

Throughout our cruise, we experienced so much of what the ship had to offer.

While our kids were supervised, my husband and I enjoyed the adults-only lounges and activities.

Another great perk of the cruise was getting to explore different places.

The cruise ended up being more affordable, and I think it was a better value overall.
