Heres the thing: I have never had a desire to go on a cruise. Its just not my bag-o-chips. Why? Well, I am not a big fan of large bodies of water. Which is strange, considering Im a triathlete and frequently swim in large bodies of water. But I never swim more than a mile from shore. I dont know much about cruising but I do know that it takes you more than a mile from shore.
However, this last May my DD15 and DS6 auditioned for a local dance studios performing company. They both made it. DD15 made the Senior Team and DS6 made the youngest team, Hot Shots. We were super excited for them both. THEN we found out that one of the team events is a Land and Sea Disney Trip with a performance and audition at WDW. My entire family was super excited. I was nauseous. A million thoughts ran through my head: someone is going to fall overboard Im going to be super sick all you do is eat, Ill get really fat this is going to cost a fortune
So, in the last 3 months, I have done extensive research and I can honestly say, IM SO EXCITED ABOUT OUR TRIP!!!!
Yes, I realize Im starting my Pre-trip Report a little early. As of this entry, we are exactly 32 weeks away from our sail date of March 22, 2009. Im writing/posting for a couple of reasons:
Join us as we prepare for our first Disney Vacation!!
Our crazy fam:
DH35- The only non-dancer in the family. (But wait til you see his Disco moves!!)
DW35-Yours truly. I enjoy Jazz and Ballet but Tap is my thang. (Oh, and I race triathlons in my "spare" time )
DD15- Been dancing since 6 so shes good at everything. Contemporary/Modern is her current fave.
DS10- Hell say Hip Hop is his favorite but he hates to miss Ballet class! (Loves to help me plan. He GoogleMapped the Pirate Museum so we wont get lost!)
DS6- Hes into Ballet and Jazz but Tap is his favorite. (Asks at least once a day, How many days til our cruise?)
Well be joined by several other families with the Fired Up Dance Company which should make our Land and Sea Adventure quite entertaining. Why? Because dancers are the weirdest people youll ever meet!

- This is, most likely, our only cruise so I want to savor every minute, including the massive preparation.
- I want help/input/confirmation/advice in regard to the planning.
- I find comfort in knowing that Im not the only Obsessive Compulsive Planner.
- I havent found many Land/Sea Trip Reports so Im hoping to add to the conversation.
