As always, let me know if anyone has any questions, spots a mistake or anything else.

Our first cruise was a 7 day Disney cruise in the Caribbean. It has been several years since that first cruise, but we have gone on many others since that first time we spent a week on the water. We still say that the Disney cruise was one of the best experiences we have had. Our youngest daughter is almost obsessed with Halloween. We won't be able to make this cruise this year, but I would love to take her on a Halloween Disney cruise. I can't imagine how enjoyable the whole experience would be. We will have to look toward going on the Halloween Disney cruise next year, but I hope you all have a fantastic time this year!

Thank you so much! We will definately go that route

Nope, I would not recommend Dunn's for a 4 year old. We just did Blue Hole, which has climbing waterfalls like Dunn's in Falmouth with our 5 year old in November. She had a hard time and really couldn't do it at all. Rocks are slippery, and footing can be tricky. Human chains are formed and while that can help, it can also hinder when we are talking little ones. People do fall. Then there is the annoyance of the vendors up at the top.

Jamaica has some beautiful beaches, and there is a Margaritaville right in the protected port area that has (or- well by the time we are there will have) a large pool .

Thank you so much! We will definately go that route

You're welcome! I thought our little one would at least give it a try but she was just too afraid of slipping and falling. She stuck to the paths on the edge or was carried by a guide.

...What do you all think about a meeting the night before the cruise for dinner? ....

Wow, you are awesome. Thanks for setting this up, unfortunately we will not be able to make it.
Unless you will be hanging out till 10pm.

Also for those staying concierge who may be considering decorating their door, it's more challenging. The doors are covered with wood which makes it so the regular door decorations fail to stick.

So those in concierge are less likely to win the door decorating contest, IMO.

I just moved out of concierge and I forgot about the door contest thing. I'll have to see if I have time to get that together.

For a pity party I am stuck in ATL and I was suppose to be in WDW today. However, better to be stuck at home than stuck on the roads.

So, to cheer myself up, I booked a cruise for Feb 9th. It will be Nico's first cruise, but all the kids are going with me.

( I didn't add it to my countdown because i thought it would look ridiculous)

 

[Bear3412]

..... I didn't add it to my countdown because i thought it would look ridiculous ....

I would. It would make it balanced, three on the left, three on the right.
Might as well because you also need to edit the middle left title so we can read the bottom left title. lol

So are you still going to WDW? Were you going to drive or fly?

They showed Atlanta and other southern cities on the news tonight. OH MY is all have to say. You are lucky you didn't get caught on those icy clogged roads.

I was suppose to fly, but I live a little north of the city and I couldn't get to the airport. I was in BWV 5005 (best view of Epcot!!) However, in the end, yes, better to lose the money than be stuck for up to 30 hours on the highway. People were still stuck at 10:30pm last night. All the hotels were full and people ended up sleeping at Home Depots, grocery stores, Targets. It was crazy!!

I am going to GFV Sept 6th-12th (all kids) and Treehouse Villas Nov21-24 (all kids). I am suppose to head there with my son for soccer March 1st. So I guess the answer is yes This canceled trip was suppose to be just with Sam. She asked for 5005 (seriously, best room) So after a few shed tears (me not her) we agreed to go just Sam and I the first week of Dec. We will do the MVMCP and stay in Ariel room at AOA. (Her other resort request) She mentioned Disneyland as well, so I booked a resort that I could cancel if we decide to head out there.

My childcare came through again for Puerto Rico cruise. I said to Julie and Sam they were still invited, but they honestly didn't want to go.

 

[Bear3412]

I was suppose .....

You need to edit titles under tickers to one line, so we/you can see the titles under the bottom 2, IMO. Or it it just my computer? lol. Anyway just a thought.

Sounds busy. Wish we could travel that much ...... well, now that I think about it, maybe half or a third, as much as you.

It can be exhausting, but everyone's life can be exhausting at time.

It's not just your computer, I will fix it when I add 2015 cruises. Med, Hawaiian and a 3rd one with just Julie. The only other cruise I will book 2015 is a Baltic (if it happens)

I think I am going to request the 2nd dining rotation. Thanks for posting it
