Hi everyone! We are joining your group! This will be our 6th Disney cruise and first Halloween adventure. We have always sailed over a holiday (it's kind of our "thing"
) and have always always ALWAYS wanted to take a Halloween cruise!
My name is Shannon and along with my fantastic husband of 27 years Rick, we have 3 wonderful children: DD20 Morgan who is my planning partner in crime when it comes to all things Disney, DS17 Mitchell, and DD9 Melissa. We also have DSIL20 Joel, DSBF17 Stevie, and our newest addition......DGS2 Jordan!!
I am a labor and delivery nurse, while my DH is the most wonderful and dedicated house dad ever (for 20 years now.....and counting haha) We are from Colorado Springs and are absolutely obsessed with all things Disney! We have turned our DSIL to the "Disney" way of life......he fell in love with his first
DCL/WDW vacation over New Year's in 2013.
This year we are bringing along our son's best friend on the February and October vacations. Morgan and Joel were 18 on the New Year's trip and couldn't get in to the teen clubs which have always been so important and fun for Morgan and Mitchell. Mitchell wouldn't go without his sister, so we found that it was a little disappointing to both of them. So we decided that we would bring along Stevie so that the boys could enjoy the clubs and teen activities while Joel and Morgan explored the adult side of Disney
We have grown from a travelling party of 5 on our first trip in 2007 to a party of 8 in 2014....wow!! Can anyone say, extra shifts at the hospital??
We are always soooo invloved in all DIS activities, so be prepared! Morgan and I love to chat and plan. Our staterooms look like the Griswold Christmas vacation house for every holiday we have cruised and you can see our doors from space hahaha This will be our 5th western cruise, which is the only disappointing aspect of this cruise. Our Valentine's cruise is an eastern, our first eastern, and we are really looking forward to some different ports of call/excursions. The last two cruises, we haven't gotten off the ship, except for Castaway Cay and probably won't again this time around. We have been to all these ports of call 4 other times and have done all the excursions, so we will stay on board and enjoy the ship!! The only exception might be Jamaica...we shall see.
I have a lot of reading to do to catch up, but can't wait to get to know all of you and want to join EVERYTHING!! FE, meet and greets, t shirts, etc....
