1/24/09 Western cruise with 6 month old twins :)

I so enjoyed reading all the trip reports before we went on our trip I decided to try and get one written from our trip. Although it will have to be done during naps and I still have to get pictures downloaded

We loved traveling with the boys at 6 months - they were so wonderful and the first time they slept completly through the night was our first night on the ship. Now that they are home they are still sleeping through the night so the magic of Disney is still working

Okay now that I started this I have to get in gear and download the pictures - I just needed to get this up so it would be my kick in the rear to get in gear

Travel day - so we decided to let disney do the airfare for us - this was a big mistake for us and we will be doing our own next time. The reason it was so bad was that we have two infants, and we didn't want to pay full price for them - but you can't sit in the same row with them on your lap. By the time Disney gave us our tickets it was too late to get asile seats across from each other and they had booked us seats next to each other - ahh well live and learn. So traveling for us was a challenge but the boys were troppers and we made it without upsetting too many fellow travelers

We got to Orlando and stayed the night at the hotel in the airport. It was soo cool to do that and we were so glad we arrived the night before the cruise. We had time to get the boys situated, and also if something had happened with our flight we still would have had time to get to the ship. Also we realized once we got to the airport here in California that we had forgotten the ear muffs we had bought for the boys to wear during the drill so that the siren wouldn't scare the life out of the. So we searched all over the airport and finally found a solution that did not include earplugs and didn't cost 200.00 :0

We got to the hotel and checked in very easily, they had information for us on the transfer to the port the next morning. We got all situated then went to dinner and checked out the pool. After dinner we feed the boys their rice ceral dinner and headed to bed at about 11:00pm (we had decided to try and keep the boys on pacific time so that they wouldn't be totally messed up when they came home - which worked very well for us - as I said the boys are still sleeping through the night) We put the bags outside our room at 8:30AM went to breakfast and then meet up with the bus to transfer us to the port - it was so easy and great not to have to deal with our luggage.

Time to get the boys up from nap - will start with the departure day tonight or tomorrow during nap time!

Since we didn't meet up with you until the end of the cruise, and it was in busy shutters, I am looking forward to hearing all you did.
