I'm not a WDW veteran, but if you are and you've cruised before then I'd also suggest the 7-day, with departure from NYC and an excursion to the parks if those are options during your fall travel window. Less stressful travel, easier planning, and you'd have extra days at sea to relax and check out what the ship has to offer. On our first DCL cruise we spent so much time trying to take advantage of Port Adventures that afterward we were sorry that we didn't spend more time just enjoying the ship! Our boys are 14 and 11 now, with four cruises under their belts, and they're more interested in getting off the ship on port days... at the time, though, when they were 9 and 6, everything on the ship was new and exciting and they really just wanted to stay on board. YMMV, but that's my two cents. Enjoy your cruise!!!!
