Wow! That was one heck of a margarita!
Atlantis is nice but very over priced. Look into rooms at the Comfort Suites....usually its cheaper to get a room there to get the wristbands for Atlantis. It's super easy and cheap to taxi over to Atlantis from the dock.

Sadly the Comfort Suites won't work for us. I looked into it several months ago actually and because we are 5 people, we'd have to get 2 rooms (they don't have any rooms for 5) so it ends up being more expensive than booking through
DCL. Booking a room at Atlantis directly, which some have had good luck with as well, was more. So it's DCL or not at all. It does look very cool but it's a chunk of change. Jeff is typically far more frugal than that so we will see as it gets closer if that idea sticks.
There are a few other excursion options that look ok, just not as fun as Atlantis but they are less. If we do it, it will be a surprise for the kids that day so that way they don't get their heart set on it and then we decide it's too much $$. Besides, I love having a few surprises!
I just picked my jaw up off the kitchen counter. WOW!
Wait - maybe he's using some kind of backwards psychology on you!
maybe!
Or - Maybe he is really tired of cold, wet, rain, damp, snow, ect. OK - that can happen as you age.
no, it's not the weather, it's all about living somewhere he can dock his plane outside our window and take off at any time. His chances for that are much higher there. He has a very strong agenda of his own. Actually I guess in some ways it is the weather, the reality of weather being conducive to him flying more is dramatically higher down there for a large part of the year. Seaplanes obviously do best in better weather! His vision is 1/2-3/4 of the time there, the rest up here over the summer.
Well, looks like you have some booking to do missy. Wait - why did you say it would be hard to get a cabana? Are the very limited in availability? I did not know that. I think the cabanas looks awesome.
Yeah, there are only something like 38 or 48 of them? I forget the number. Not a lot for a cruise that size and likely that platinum and gold will have snatched them before this lowly silver can book it. But it's worth a shot.
What the.....?
The first couple of loops, I was surprised.
I was in stunned disbelief by the time I got to the "we'd get part-time jobs as CMs" comment!
But it sounds like a great plan -- all the way from Atlantis, to a cabana, to a Backstage Safari, to retiring in Florida and working part-time at the World!
You and me both! It was interesting to say the least and fun food for thought. Not sure how much of it will actually ever happen but it was a fun conversation and certainly eye opening to me! He's working his own agenda for sure but awfully cute he's factoring mine in too! Win Win.
That sounds like we were drinking the same stuff! After driving through Celebration last week we have decided to relocate down there. It will be just in the next few years though....
A few years, that sounds lovely! We've got probably 8 more years of regular school and then probably staying put through college so 12-13 years at a minimum. Jeff would love it to be then, after Eric is done but after 4 tuitions...I think 18-20 is a much more doable number.
It would have to be on a lake that the seaplane can land on, and dock. That's what he's looking for and FL is a huge community for that. I admit, he probably won't have to twist my arm! Other than the fact that my family is all here...but who knows by then.
Atlantis and the cabana? I wouldn't be able to say no to either of those. 
Uh, no way!! So our next opportunity is end of Sept/beginning of Oct because we have school conferences that week and I wouldn't feel as guilty pulling them out of school on a couple of half days.....Lots of GOOD decisions by your DH!!!
you're here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
