I'm a 26 year old single mother of a 3 year old daughter and since I
none of my friends are in the same boat (ha,ha) we would be traveling
alone. That in itself scares me! This vacation seemed to be the best
for my situation.
I'm looking into taking my daughter on the Permier cruise & Disney
Vacation. I would like to find out more about the cruise and what
they offer for the kids. It's a weird thought going on a cruise
and leaving my daughter with strangers. Though I'm sure they are
very qualified and experienced.
They promote the first single-parent plan in the industry. I'm curious
if anyone out there has experienced it?
Also, I saw an old note that said you could get 10% off the cruise with
your magic kindom card. What's a that?
I'd also be curious to find out which is better to do the 4 day in
disney with the 3 day cruise or the opposite. What are the best times
to travel, I've never been to disney but I've heard it's a mad house.

Well, I'm not a single parent, but I did just return from the combination cruise/disney vacation on this cruise line, and I do have 2 kids, 11 and 5, so I thought I'd throw my 2 cents worth in. The cruise was great! Lots of fun for both parents and kids. There are programs for kids of all ages, and both of my kids were kept busy a lot of the time by the organized activities. The 5 year old spent much of his time in "Pluto's playhouse", where there were qualified people keeping the kids busy. Movies, swimming, tours of the bridge, playdough, visits by Micky and company, pirates etc, were some of the things they did. The activities went from 10am to 10pm (except lunch and dinner). They also conduct baby-sitting from 10pm to 1am (for $3 per hour). They had mats for the kids, so they would typically fall asleep watching a movie if they were there late. And don't worry about keeping busy yourself, there was lots going on! Shows, a disco, a pub, casino, pools etc. Not to mention the absolutly fantastic dining experience! If you've never been to Disneyworld, I suggest 4 days there (we spent 6), and a 3 day cruise (though we'll do a longer cruise next time). We went the last week in April and I was surprised to see that the lines were not bad at all. I've been going to DisneyLand since I was a kid (too long ago!) and this was one of the best as far as ling-waiting was concerned. They are either getting better at it, or loosing business...

I'd also highly recommend this as great for both yourself and kids.
I think with a 3 year old, I'd opt for the four day cruise and the
three days at WDW. Kids can get worn out fairly quickly wondering
around the park but its so easy to deal with then on the ship.

In case you didn't get an answer to this... it's a card you can get from
your personnel/benefits administrator. It offers a variety of discounts
that change from year to year, but always has some kind of discount for
Premier. It's main purpose is to provide discounts on resort packages
for Disney.
