According the ticker on my signature at Disboards.com, our very first Disney Cruise on the Magic out of Galveston to the Western Caribbean is in 2 months, 2 weeks, and 1 day! I am getting more excited every day. In just 2 days we can book port excursions, make reservations for the nursery, and register the boys for the kids' clubs. I have been reading lots of reviews for port excursions and trying to decide what to do. Having never cruised or traveled to the Caribbean, we are not sure what activities we will like or if we will prefer to stay on the ship. The plan is to try snuba (like SCUBA but the air tanks float on top of the water instead of being attached to your back) in Grand Cayman and either a day at the beach or a chocolate factory tour in Cozumel. My mouth is watering as I have been reading over the menus. Mostly I just can't wait to spend a week on a Disney vacation relaxing with my family.
Right now there are 2 projects I'm working on in preparation for 7 days of luxury. The first is potty training Luke. He is not old enough to go to the Oceaneer Club, so there will be limited activities for him. Children who are not potty trained can not swim in the pools on board, so we are working on it. We've been working on it for a few days now, and for him just being 2 years old I think it is going really well.
My other project is making magnets to decorate our stateroom doors. This is something I only recently learned about, but apparently this is something that lots of people do. There are some kind and generous people who will personalize Disney themed designs (called Disigners) for free. You can print them out to make magnets to hang on the metal doors on the ship or to make t-shirt iron on transfers. I'm waiting for the Disigners to finish some of my designs, but in the meantime I made a Disney Cruise alphapet. I printed one out that I found on 4shared.com, cut them out, and laminated them. I'm going to glue magnets on the back. I figured that Luke can use them to play with before and after the cruise.
