Do both. I have been on 2 disney cruises and gone to the park as well as a packaged thing. It is super fun, best time ever. Your kids will love it!

I lived in Florida for 5 years, about 15 minutes from Disneyworld. Best time to go is in the spring or fall. Orlando gets too fucking hot and humid in the summer. Those commercial scenes of happy people running around Disneyworld definitely aren't in the summer. Then you just see tired, hot, soaking wet with sweat, miserable people standing in long lines. If possible, you might also want to try to avoid the times when everyone has vacation, or at least look into when the local schools have, for example, spring vacation. It gets real crowded then.

It was 20 years ago that I lived in Florida so I'm sure a lot has changed. There's a lot more to see now. You're into hiking though so you might want to try out the Florida equivalent. About 20 minutes North of Disney is a place called Wekiva Springs State Park. Instead of being mountains, like most parks out here, it is a swamp. They have miles of wooden walkways that wind through the swamps. There's also one area where you can go swimming in a huge spring. It's crystal clear water and you can see perfectly down to the bottom 20' down. The best thing is that you can rent a canoe and paddle down the river. It's a total jungle scene with snakes, alligators, turtles, and other critters around every corner. Yeah, it is a bit freaky when a big ol' gator swims so close you can reach out and touch him but it will be something you'll never forget. Just don't fall out of the boat ;)

its 1500 for a family of 4 for six days seven nights for basic package.
or 2500 for the deluxe not that bad if you plan ahead.

I'm not too sure thet let cruise ships on 528 to orlando. If so, i'd love to see it. You can ride a bus from the airport to the ship or from the ship to the airport. It may even go all the way to the park. All I know is this. If you ever come to FL for a cruise or the park friendowl, you let me know. I'll freakin meet you somewhere. I'm dying to toke with some new people down here.
