I would do it. 100%. Although, if I was spending that much for one day my park of choice would be MK. The sights, sounds, classic park feel, etc. Everyone has different preferences though!
2-day tickets cost almost as much as two 1-day tickets, so there is no significant cost savings there, unfortunately.Would it make sense to buy a two-day ticket, and plan another park day after your cruise? Might be a fun way to bookend the trip, and more economical per day than buying single day tickets.
We did this after our December Dream cruise last year, and for us it was money poorly spent, because the weather was bad (a bitter cold snap), and one family member was really slow due to a last-minute foot injury, and also didn't tolerate the cold well.For the people who have done this, would you do it again?
If we had a day or 2 in the area, we'd definitely have to do a Disney day (or more).We are taking a RC cruise in October. We can fly into Orlando the day before we leave and arrive at MCO at 8:13 a.m. We would love to spend the day at HS or another park that day and even stay at a Disney resort that night, then arrange for transportation to the Port for Sunday. One day tickets for five people are costly. For the people who have done this, would you do it again? Can you take ME for a one night stay or do you have to book a package of more than one day tickets?
Are you they type of person who would spend close to that much for a tour on your cruise at one of your ports? Would you spend that much to go see a special sporting event or a Broadway show?
If we had a day or 2 in the area, we'd definitely have to do a Disney day (or more).
In fact most of our winter vacations over the past 10 years or so, involve a cruise and 1-4 days at Disney or Universal or a combo of both.
If we have a short visit window, we sometimes even only do a 1 day ticket with park hoppers and do a "full commando" style day (rope drop until close - actually not as bad as it sounds in Jan/Feb the parks aren't open all that late) . We try to hit at least 3, and sometimes, all 4 parks. I think that was around $170 per person, per ticket when we did it in Feb of this year.
People who say it's too much for one day could be the ones who have the luxury of spending a week or more.
For those of us on a short timeline, 1 day for the family of 5 for $550 is the option we have (or 2 days for $1000, or 3 for $1500, or 4 for $2000)
So do we think it's "worth it"...put me down for a big yes
The pricing structure is setup to encourage longer stays.
1 day to 4 days is basically $100ish per day (1 park each day)
After you have been to all 4 parks, day 5 and on are just repeat visits (hence the much cheaper for each extra day you add after the first 4)
