We have been contemplating a cruise for some time now, but I could never give up our WDW time. This past summer, just DH and myself took the 2-night cruise to nowhere out of NYC and we loved it! We are really looking forward to our cruise next year, but I know when I am in MCO and see all the ME buses lined up getting ready to head to WDW I'll feel a little twinge of disappointment. Right now it looks like our next trip to the World will be, at the earliest, October, 2014.

UGH! That seems so far away. I'll live vicariously through you, and everyone else traveling to the World, until I can go again. Who knows, maybe I'll be hooked on cruising for awhile (as long as its with Disney).
I don't know if I'll do a PTR. I've never done one before, but love reading other people's PTR and TR. If I don't do a PTR maybe I'll do a TR. I really don't know a lot about
DCL; I don't know if it would be enough for a PTR. We'll see...
Thanks for your well wishes as we rode out Sandy. Thankfully, we never lost power and didn't take on any water. We did miss two days of school, though. My heart goes out to the many others that were not as fortunate as us. Some of the pictures of the east coast (and NYC) look horrible. I'm sending many prayers to those affected.
