I'll start the Convo.
This will be my DH and my 4th cruise but the first with
DCL and the first with our children (DD 11 and DS 7 at the time of departure). We are beyond excited! We have a Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom with a Verandah (aft) that my husband talked me into but I'm concerned about whether the recent dry dock fixed the vibration issues guests have complained about. We had a vibrating aft room on a Norwegian cruise ship once and found it very unpleasant (especially after too much champagne ).
I'm planning to decorate my stateroom door and hoping to participate in a fish extender group. We're also planning a group costume for the 4 of us and Im planning to get all our costume stuff when everything goes on clearance after this Halloween. We're currently planning to all go as characters from one of our favorite WDW attractions and it's the kind of group costume only "Disney people" are likely to recognize.
I so looking forward to sharing our love of cruising with our kids and getting some relaxing time in while the kids play at the Oceaneers Club. Everyone I know that's done a Disney Cruise says this is the best part
We are taking our kids out of school that week so I plan to have my kids keep travel journals. I made one for DD for our last trip in 2014, full of writing prompts and places for keepsakes, plus a scrapbook-esque place at the end for photos. I'm going to have DD continue this one and make a more age appropriate one for DS who will only be in 2nd grade when we go. Not only do these give me something to work on while I wait ever so patiently but they also make adorable keepsakes.
What's the part you're looking forward to the most? Anyone else have a list of creative projects a mile long to keep you busy while you wait?!
