Have you ever done a Disney cruise (or any other cruise)? You might want to take the kids on one down to Mexico for 3-4 days. The food on a Disney cruise has been the best so far. However the service has been better on Royal Caribbean and there is more to do on a Carnival cruise. Disney has less shipboard activities that you just show up for creating long lines.

Ive done many Carnival Cruises, most of them in the late 90s / early 2000's to Mexico and my family and I thought they were great back then. Did one 7 day Disney Cruise to the Caribbean in Spring 2023. Although we had a great time I'm not in a rush to do one again at their usual prices. We got a great deal on our cruise. Definitely not flying to Florida to do another one any time soon. I'd consider a Disney cruise to Mexico since it's convenient but I think they re too expensive. They charge what the competitors charge for a 7 day cruise. Just don't think it's worth it to go back to the Mexican Riviera which I've been to 5 times.

There is the Disney 4 day cruise to Ensenada that leaves out of San Diego. We did that one for Halloween. They had a special Costco deal $650 per person with parking/tips included. I just did a Royal Caribbean out of Port of LA to the same place for $450 per person with parking/tips included. So if you look at as a hotel room with free food, entertainment and goes somewhere for 4 days, it is cheap. The optional shore excursions and the alcohol is where things get expensive.

You just got to watch the prices and book early. $112 room and meals is a steal.

Oh that’s a great deal! Every time I look at Disney’s site I think the 3-4 day Mexico cruises for the 4 of us for an ocean view (porthole) room are like 5k+. I’ll have to check Costco from time to time.

Interesting. Our Magic Keys just became eligible for renewal and they allow you to upgrade (or downgrade) to any tier even though they are not available to the general public at the moment. Pretty sure this isn’t how it used to be?

Disney's site never has discounts. Book early with travel agents or Costco is better.

I booked our 7 day Carribean Disney cruise for the 4 of us on some Disney + deal on Disneys site for like $4,400 with a Verandah room. I hear what you re saying though. I’m sure that’s super rare.
