"Witty Western-Fantasy Trip Report Title"... January 5th-12th With Pictures

[MrRay]

My wife and I have been lurkers for several years and have gotten a lot out of trip reports, so now we are finally giving back.

Introductions...

I'm Bob, 30 years old. I'm a lighting guy in the entertainment business in New York.
I've only been on one cruise, a 7 night Norwegian cruise last year.



I'm Jenna, 27 years old. I'm a dancer and have done a few cruises, including a Disney cruise ten years ago and I worked on a Princess Cruise ship for 6 months back in 2008-2009.


We decided as the Fantasy was coming out last year that we wanted to try a Disney cruise together. While the Fantasy was getting christened in New York I had the opportunity to do some work on the ship for some tv spots and it was an easy decision to book once I had seen it.

There were a few different variations on how we were going to do this trip but we finally decided on... Flying down 2 days before the cruise and taking the first day to unwind and get settled and the second to visit Kennedy Space Center. Then one night at Animal Kingdom Lodge after the cruise.

Spoiler Alert- The trip was amazing and we even had a few surprises along the way...


But we'll get there...
