Before I get into the details I'm just going to warn you now. I'm starting this pre-trip report early. Really early. Over a year early. 456 days early to be exact! That's just how I roll and I'm pretty sure the Hubs is already tired of hearing everything Disney Cruise related. So, I'm coming to those who understand
Now that you've been warned let's get to the details:
Who: My Sweet Family of Four
From left to right: Shannon (that's me!) I'm the planner, Mom, Wife and all around Disney freak James (we also call him Cinco because he's 5th Generation) our 2 year old Son (will be 3.5 at the time of the cruise) he went on his first Disney cruise last summer and still talks about "Mickey's agua" so I know he will be thrilled to go back. Candido aka Candi aka Hubs he is a closet Disney freak and becomes more addicted to cruises with every one we take (this will be our 4th).
Wait a second ... didn't I say this was a family of four? Who are we missing?
This sweet little bean who will be joining our family around August 31 This will make the baby 8ish months at the time of the cruise. I should note, this will be a first for us - traveling with a baby so young!
What: A Disney cruise of course! Specifically the Disney Fantasy
Also a pre- and post-cruise stay at Disney World for a day or two each. These are still to be determined...
Where: We have chosen the Eastern Caribbean itinerary for this cruise.
We made this choice for a couple reasons. 1) I really wanted to try a 7-nighter; all our other cruises have been 4 or 5 nights. 2) We are tired of the Bahamian itinerary but still wanted to ensure we got a day at Castaway Cay. 3) All the excursions we are interested in here are kid friendly. 4) We both wanted to cruise one of the new ships having already sailed the Wonder and Magic previously. So this seemed to fit the bill!
When: May 2014 - so, so far away!
Why: Does this category really need an explanation
And, there you have it, our plans in a nutshell. I hope you join along as we hash out the details and watch this trip come to life...
