I agree with parks first. We did a 4 night Dream last year, followed by three nights at Universal. While I was fine onboard, it took me several days to get my land legs back. It is quite disconcerting to walk around a theme park while you feel like the ground is tilting.

The cruise is also a great way to relax after the stimulation overload of the theme parks.

I really enjoyed your review. We are taking our second 4 night Dream next month, a year and a half after the first one. Reading your review and looking at your photos brought back how much I enjoyed the first one, and got me really excited for next month's adventure.

I've been to WDW 12 times, my 18 year old has been 10 times (first time at 4 years old), and my 12 year old has been 8 times (first time at 2.5 years). So, you get the picture that I was a diehard WDW person for many years. My kids loved all the trips. My elder even had her senior photos done there.

Then last year we took our first ever cruise, the 4 night on the Dream. Now I don't care if I ever go to WDW again.....I'm hooked on cruising and so are the kids! Still, I am really glad we did all the WDW trips when they were younger. If you can only do one or the other this year, I recommend WDW. Once you try DCL you may never make it to WDW!
