Just booked cruise

[momof3luvs2run]

We are new to Disney Cruises. We have been looking for about 4 months now for a family vacation. Our 8 year old son will be finishing up his 2 year chemotherapy treatment for Leukemia (ALL) this September. We want to take our 3 kids away for a much deserved trip. DH and I are also very much in need of one. After reading up on the Disney land/sea trip, we thought this would be the perfect getaway for all of us.

I just got off the phone with All Seasons Travel. We reserved our spot on a cruise in November. WOOHOOOO I'm so excited and feel like a ton of bricks has been lifted off. Probably sounds funny, but it was almost a burden to try to put something together. Now that I have that part behind me, I can have fun planning the trip.

I am getting good tips from this message board. Glad I found it.

Now -- how can we keep from letting the kids know about it? I'm thinking of just filling them in on the Disney trip, but making the cruise part a total surprise. WIll that be possible????

Congratulations on booking your cruise and best wishes to your son after having his treament come to an end.

With regards to keeping the cruise a secret I have managed(so far) to do just that with my DD who will be celebrating her 14th birthday. I booked the cruise in March and you would not believe how many times I have nearly slipped up. She does know that we are going to Florida for two weeks but has no idea about the cruise. I have spent hours on these boards well after she has gone to bed to make sure she dont find out. I was also very lucky that when our docs came she was away on a school trip. Here's hoping my suprise stays a suprise until we get there, and here's hoping that you manage it to.

Have a wonderful trip, you deserve it. Best wishes to you all.
