Actually, the 8K for the cruise was for an indoor stateroom for a 7-night cruise during the summer. Obviously, it's cheaper in the off-season, but with kids in school that is not always an option. I would love to cruise with Disney, but I can cruise with several other lines for a third of the price. We aren't all faux one-percenters around here!
Ironically, cruises get cheaper the longer they are--the transatlantic, for example, are dirt cheap. Only retirees and the hardest core lifestylers have two weeks to take out of their lives. Agreed that if you go off-season, and especially if you're a Floridian willing to go last minute, you might pick up a deal (were quite a few this Spring), but generally you're paying a premium over any other cruise line.
The difference from WDW is that it's absolutely worth every penny.
