    DCL vs The World: Why Choose Walt Disney World over a Disney Cruise

    On today’s Disney Podcast, we are comparing a 4-night Disney Cruise to a 4-night Disney World vacation to see which one you should choose for your next trip to see the Mouse. This episode is Part 2, where we take the perspective of why a Disney World vacation is the better choice in terms of attractions, entertainment, autonomy over schedule, options and more. On our last episode, we argued the opposite perspective of why a Disney Cruise is, in fact, the better choice in this debate. This was a fun one to record. Enjoy!
