I don't know if I'd necessarily agree that Animal Kingdom has better themeing. I think the best way to describe it is that Busch Gardens felt like a Cedar Point/Kings Island/Six Flags crammed into a zoo like place. While Animal Kingdom feels like a Disney park crammed into a zoo like place...

I wasn't sure what it would be like. But we decided to give it a try. For years I've always been on a Disney trip and saw the signs for sea world, busch gardens (not exactly orlando), etc, and always felt like I was not giving other places a chance. So we decided to do a Sea World/Busch...

Not sure what that means. Are you saying I should just tell them they are 2 when the trip starts (which is true) and then just let it be? I'm actually trying to be honest here.

If we start a 5ish or so day vacation package and my kids are 2, but turn 3 the 3rd day...what happens? Do I start paying more halfway through?

All the people who say, "If they do this, I'm not going anymore..." Yeah right. That's like people who say, "if so and so gets elected, I'm moving to Canada..." I doubt that a system that will not be very visible will cause you to stop going.

We went when my wife was 5 months pregnant. We've always been hard-core super headliner, running right at the rope drop, type people. We obviously knew we couldn't do that during that trip. I was a bit concerned at first, but it ended up being a completely different experience, and a really...

I didn't say that, I said: " Even all the extra fees and such, it is simply more expensive in nearly every way you look at it." I never said, in any of my posts, that disney is ALWAYS more expensive. I stressed that in nearly every way and a large majority of the time, it is more...

I don't actually think I did that. I started off on this by saying that it is more expensive, no matter how you look at it. Even all the extra fees and such, it is simply more expensive in nearly every way you look at it. Then I was just disagreeing with some of the justifications, such as...

No. Sorry, I didn't see it asked before.

I just want to make another point. My first cruise was on Royal Caribbean on the Voyager of the Seas. Right after, I thought, "I never want to go on any other cruise except Royal Caribbean." But the following year, we ended up sailing to Alaska on Princess, and then I thought, "I never want...

Aside from the fact that Castaway Cay has a dock, it is going to be mostly the same as any other of the cruiseline private islands. Holland America's private island (I think Carnival goes there too sometimes since they are owned by the same parent company) is Half Moon Cay....seriously, just...

There's always a HUGE difference between a cruise in July and a cruise in January. Pricewise, January seems to be THE time to go.

To the original poster, I strongly suggest going to cruise critic and reading their own reviews of ships. Sampling a few from each of the lines should give an overall good picture. And it will be much more subjective, because let's face it, we're all Disney slappys here (myself included)...

The reason I had to respond is because the question was asking for "concrete examples of things included on disney that other lines do not"

Alot of people have mentioned many items....but seriously, I'm pretty sure the only thing is the inclusion of non-alcoholic drinks. Food is included on all lines, so is entertainment, the kids programs, even watered down drinks at some of the receptions. And by the way, I'm one of the few...

I'm certain this is all true, I'm in no way trying to say otherwise, all I'm saying is that comparing similar cruises, Disney is almost ways more expensive...and not a trivial amount more either.

I'm not trying to be argumentative here, I promise, but the only real example in this the soft drinks being included. I don't think any of the other major lines charge for kids clubs for 3 and over (it's even 2 and over on carnival). Food is included on all other lines as well, even...

Ok, then Oct 2012, western caribbean. Of the 21 cruises listed on travelocity, sorted by price per day, #s 20 and 21 are the Disney cruises (#20 is the Disney Magic and #21 is the newest disney ship, which you'd expect to be the most expensive). The next two most expensive are on the huge...

January of 2012 to the western caribbean, the lowest priced Disney cruise is around $130/night, whereas MOST of the other cruises are less than $100/night. There are a few that are priced similarly, but a very few. Yes, you could set up some situations where disney isn't the highest priced...

I would like to see that, because I have a hard time believing that.
