Two Disney nuts finally settle down for a cruise!

[bluejasmine]

So I met DH in 2007 through a high school friend, he was her little bro!

It was love at first sight and we havent been apart since! He is my best friend and soulmate! We were married in 2008.

We had a small backyard wedding so that we could have a WDW honeymoon. DH had been once as teen. He feel in love with WDW during out honeymoon and we have been back every year since around our anniversary.

My DS18 lost his father last yr and came into some money, he wanted to give us a big wedding in WDW but DH and I opted for DCL b/c we just didnt want DS to spend so much money on us. Here is DS18 and DD15 from Sept WDW trip:

First DH and I thought about doing the Canadian cruise but then I noticed the East Carribean had 3 at sea days with a total of 7 days on board so of course we went for that plus we havent been to the Virgin Islands or CC either.

I booked with Dreams Unlimited and then last week paid off the cruise when DS gave us the money. Ive booked Radisson for the night before with the stay, breakfast, park and cruise for the night before.

Now comes the fun part! The planning! I am one of those OCD planning nuts! I love it! Not that we always stick with it but its so much fun!

During our cruise will be our anniversary so far I know we want to book Palo Brunch and the Spa Villa for the Ultimate Indulgence. We are both really looking forward to this!

Now I need to buy DH a suit and buy a formal and semi formal dress, yes an excuse to shop thats my motto!

Thinking Ill get this for semi formal:

Ill need to find a formal dress to go with this tiara DH bought me last yr from DTD:

Im a huge Minnie Mouse fan so the other day I ordered this dress and jewelery for embarkation day:

Oh and bought insulated cups to carry drinks around in:

I know Im going to order our favorite champagne Martini and Rossi and the petite fours for the day we embark but Im also trying to find something I can sneak into our bags to surprise DH with on our anniversary, he is the BEST husband and works very hard.

So Im dying to make our Palo Brunch reservation!

I wish once you were paid off you could do it.

Am I right in assuming I cant make my reservation for the spa Couple Villa Ultimate Indulgence until on board?

So my husband loves Kona Beer and they sell it at World Market, its not cheap but I thought about buying two 6 packs for our room fridge. I want it to be a surprise but dont I have to tell them I have it when I check in at the port?

Ordered a mini hipster today from Vera Bradley for the cruise and some sunglasses.. Here they are:

So I have a gym membership at Planet Fitness and I love it because its only $20 and you can come as much as you want and they have plenty of cardio machines as well as weight machines and free weights and tanning beds! Plus you can bring a guest with you any time! Of course I go at 6 am M-F b/c I know if I dont go first thing in the morning before work I wont go! I hadnt been since Christmas break I just couldnr seem to make myself go but this cruise was the incentive I needed to go back, loose 10 pounds tone up and tan!!

So today DH and I looked around at suits.. Good Lord they are expensive! We did some at Khols (seperates) by Marc Anthony that he really seemed to like..Pretty silver and a deep purple shirt and a tie that really matched perfectly, it was a lighter purple then the shirt but had the shiny silver as the suit.. Very nice.. Its on sale right but not much of a sale.. I think DH has his heart set on it so we will find a way to get it even if its not on sale later..He is so genorous he deserves it and he looks so handsome in it!!

Congratulations! Sounds like you are going to have a great cruise! Good luck on the Palo Brunch reservations.

The mini hipster is awesome, I used it everywhere on my cruise! My kindle fit in it perfectly along with my camera, wave phone and and of course my folded navigator! And it was so light!
