Hello! I have been reading everyone's trip reports and love reading about experiences on the ships. I decided to start ours now since I am SO EXCITED about our first Disney Cruise!! My husband and I have cruised before on NCL and Princess but this is our first family trip and our first time on DCL. Here is who is going:
Grandma
Grandpa ( thanks to them for our cruise!!!)
Russell (35)
Jessica (34)
Brayden (4)
Justin (3)
My husband is excited about the cruise but is a little confused about my obsession with DCL. I tell them that this is (1) our first family vacation, (2) our first DCL experience and (3) our first vacation in 5 years. He still doesn't get it. Russell wants me to add that he is traveling with his in-laws and has his own set of concerns....
We have adjoining rooms (Cat 9). I think stateroom 6524 and 6526.
We have about 6 weeks to go and I am getting ready. I have my planning binder with all of my info on the ship, ports and (of course) FOOD!!! Even though I am looking forward to eating on the ship, my husband and I are on Weight Watchers. I have lost 30 pounds and my husband has lost 15 pounds. This is all in anticipation for the cruise so we can fit into out bathing suits and our formal wear.
The boys are excited as well. Brayden understands more since he is almost 5years old. He wants to go into the kids club badly. We will see how that goes. Justin is a little more hesitant. He is excited to go on "Mickey's Boat" but is concerned about where he will sleep and go to the bathroom!!!
We have requested our dining rotation to begin with Parrot Cay. We have told that we are waitlisted for this particular dining rotation so we will see.
We decided against doing the FE this round even though our Cruise Meet group is AWESOME!!!! I have found it a little overwhelming working ( I teach Special Education) and getting prepped for the cruise. Maybe next time. I am making magnets, shirts ( I will post how they come out) and I am making autograph books for the boys.
Ok, think that is it for now. I will post more as we get closer. Next step: Target tomorrow for some supplies ( i.e. SUNSCREEN as 3 out of 4 of us have reddish hair!!!!)
