Where did everyone go?

Is it bad that I am already thinking about next cruise and not this Christmas??

No, no it's not, not at all.

I'm here, I'm here!!!! And more excited for this cruise than I am about the one in 50 or so days

Awesome!!

You two be good and have a great time in the World...say hi to the Mouse for all of us here and let us know how you like the new Fantasyland additions.

On a side note, my other countdown gives me just 48 weeks until I can begin my online check-in and booking!!!! I like that number even better.

You know? This is starting to feel very, very real to me. I can't wait for next Christmas (which is kinda weird since I haven't even started planning for this one yet). We are going to build us some fun Chirstmas memories on our cruise. I can't wait.

I know right?!!!

I had a thought today...Cruise Santa hats! I know, it might not be original, but hey, it's a Disney cruise after all. Keep dreaming crew!!!

 

[Mokat76]

Great idea! No childlike behavior is too extreme for a Disney cruise. Well, except for the adult temper tantrum. That's never a good thing. ;-)
