Hi Everyone welcome to my first ever PTR!
I know this is a little early – some may say too early but I’m rather excited and already getting things booked up so thought I’d share with you. I am an obsessive planner when it comes to holidays and it works out great for me as it means my holidays don’t only last the 1/2/3 weeks I am on them but the whole time from booking to arriving home again. I cant be the only one can I? We are booked on the Eastbound trip through the Panama Canal from San Diego to Galveston October 2015. Trip reports and pre trip reports on here have gotten me through some long dull days at work. Reading them on my lunch breaks (yeah right ) always cheers me up so I hope I can return the favour for at least one person with mine.
Let me introduce you to our cast – Myself, Shelley, I will be 30 in May and celebrating with a trip to Disneyland Paris (for which I also intend on writing a TR) & this cruise. Love everything Disney but my new fave is DCL after we were introduced to it’s captivating Magic in 2012.
My very own Prince Charming Carl 28 who thoroughly supports my Disney addiction. He will try to play it cool at times but don’t let him fool you - he’s as addicted as I am

As well as celebrating my 30th we also wanted something to celebrate the end of the work on our house. We bought it July 2013 and have been working non stop to bring it up to date. Still going but hopefully we’ll be done by the end of this month. So 2015 is about travel, relaxation and quality time with each other.
It took a lot of debate coming to the decision of this cruise. We hadn’t been to WDW since 2012 and I was feeling a little “homesick” but we know we are definitely going in 2016 with some of our fave family members (and WDW doesn’t really fit in with that “relax” theme) so cruise was decided. Now I really want to go to Alaska but DH only wants to cruise in warm weather so, after a huge amount of debate (mostly with myself). We decided on this cruise and booked 27th May 2014.
Ok, enough of an intro, I don’t want to bore and lose you before we really start.... TBC
