OMG! I am going to the Mediterranean on a Disney cruise! This has been my dream for the last 15 years. I am Italian and I have family in Italy that I have never met. But most importantly my dream has been to go to Rome. My DH and I had plans to do this for our 25th wedding anniversary but we could not due to life changes.
So about a month ago we were talking about our 30th anniversary. We spent our honeymoon in Disney World. We lived in NY then. We were married in 1988. In 2004 we moved to Florida and Disney was in our back yard. We have been there over 100 times! In 2012 we moved to California (San Francisco Area) and have visited Disneyland 4 times. So while talking about our 30th we talked about going back to Disney World were it all started. We have friends who have never been and we all were going to go together. Well, unfortunately, My DH did not get his vacation approved as the low man on the totem pole. (we work together. I am a director of the Emergency Department and Trauma and he is an apprentice engineer). I was SO BUMMED!!!! I cried!!!! So his boss came back and said he could have the 7th through the 17th off. Great!!!!! Our anniversary is the 16th!!!! So we looked at Disney World with our friends......Wait? Are you kidding? 2x more expensive? Seriously? And airfare too? Oh Ya.....it's 4th of July week. I am so defeated.
So we both had the same idea...What about a land and sea package????? We looked....Holy Cow!!!!!!! We have been on our share of cruises with Disney but seriously????? The prices were ASTRONOMICAL. While I was on the cruise site I saw my dream cruise to the Mediterranean pop up. So I clicked on it. Are you kidding me? It leaves on the 7th and returns on the 17th!!!!!!! And it is the same price (inside stateroom) as the Disney world trip...... ok...so I broach the subject. hmmm...I have peaked an interest. lets look at flights. 1361 round trip in coach.; Not too bad. Could we do this?????
