Seriously? Lewis said it better than I, but other than a few ignorant and overly fearful people, I doubt that is the case. There are often short term deals on cruises in the spring/summer but in your circumstances I don't think that it makes sense. Your family model just isn't suitable for cruising at the moment, as I outlined above. There are cruise lines which do a better job than Disney in the infant area, but even then you will be extremely limited.

'Euro Disney' has not existed since 1994, when the name was (thankfully) changed.

I am not familiar with DLC in London so cannot comment on that, but are you suggesting that a cruise which 'lands' in the UK would be somehow safer? I think that you are mistaken, if that is the case.
