This Trip brought to you by Truck Fire & Eye Surgery ~ Magic Cruise 11/24/12

[vleeth]

I just officially changed my cruise. I was going for a 6 night out of Texas for Spring Break. But changed it to 7 night in October next year. Hope has Fall Break and should only have to miss 3 days of school.

I spend so much time planning my November trip that I wasn't planning for the cruise at all. And with Christmas and our trip to Ohio not long after Disney, I wouldn't start cruise planning until mid-Jan. And the cruise was in March! Now I'll have much more time to plan and its an extra night and its $500 cheaper!

Here's the sweatshirt I made. I plan on using it to pull over whatever I'm wearing that day when it gets cooler at night. Hopefully it won't be freezing the whole week...because then I'll have to make more...and I won't know if it will be freezing until right before we leave.

Officially less than 2 months!

Need to start watching our pre-trip movies. Actually we started last weekend with Mighty Ducks.

The list we made this morning includes Mighty Ducks 2 & 3, Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Dumbo, Cinderella, ET & Harry Potter 1.

We'd better get to work!

No...but probably at least another head or two.

Notice the 'hidden' Mickey at the bottom of the photo.

Cute!!!!!!

Well, um...I canceled my trip.

We decided to do the Disney cruise this year and WDW next year. The cruise is $1000 cheaper than what we have booked for next year. And Dave still has 1, maybe 2 more eye surgeries. The first being at the end of Oct and if he needs a second one, the beginning of Nov.

This is insane for me. When I think about the hours I spent planning this trip and once again I'm missing WDW at Christmas...and still not seeing Harry Potter. I'm okay with the idea, I know its for the best and we'll enjoy the cruise. I just like to plan and I won't have as much time to plan this cruise as I would have liked to have.

But anyways, it looks like this pre-trip report is done.

You are gonna have a blast. I hope to get my TR started this week on that trip.
You can still continue your PTR here about the ship.

[vleeth]

I look forward to your trip report even more than usual... Lol

Yes, I think I just might continue on. Thanks for the encouragement. I know we will have a great time!

So now this is a cruise pre-trip report. What a crazy week this has been. First my StepD tells me that her and her dh are having a baby, then we decide to do the cruise instead of WDW, then my brother tells me that he and his DW are having a baby too!

In the middle of all of that I have studied the Navigators & Menus for the cruise. Some of the kids club activities don't really say what they are, so I'll have to research this some more.

It's harder keeping this secret from Hope. When we were doing WDW, I could talk about it because she knew we were going, but didn't know when. I can't talk to her about this at all to her. It's gonna be hard.

I have started my TR. the link is in grey in my signature.

[vleeth]

Awesome Jen, I'll check it out tomorrow.

[vleeth]

I still plan on surprising Hope with this trip, now we're just surprising her with a cruise instead of a trip to Orlando. But now I have to redo my scavenger hunt clues and figure out how I want to do the reveal. Looks like I need to spend some time on youtube!
