Hello Everyone!!! Welcome readers!!!
As the topic reads we will be getting on the Magic this November/December!! Excited? Yes!!! So to start off I will make the introductions about myself and family.....
Myself - 30ish female from SC!!! I work for a local government as a 911 dispatcher/telecommunicator!! Love my job!!!
DH - 30ish male from SC as well!!! Both born and raised here!! He also works for our local police department as an officer in the communications field!! He enjoys it!! We have been married for 13 years this year, this is our 5th cruise together, 2nd Disney cruise. Back to that in a moment!!
DD - 5 yr old very outgoing and active little girl. And of course she was born in SC as well!! I know shocking lol. This is her 4th cruise.
My DH had been on me for years to go on a cruise and my excuse was they are too expensive and I thought they wouldn't be as fun as going to one location and staying! Boy o boy was I ever wrong lol. So in 2007 we started booking our 1st ever cruise. I knew nothing about cruising!! AAA gave us some books to look at and I dug in and found what I liked! I saw a great itinerary for the Western Caribbean on RCCL's Freedom in June/July of 2008!! So that was the beginning of my addiction!! Shortly after returning home I started planning for the next. We wanted to so badly go on RCCL's Oasis maiden voyage. Which I think was in Nov/Dec of 2009. Well we booked it as soon as opening date was made available to us. Well shortly after booking (Sept 2008) I found out I was pregnant with DD. I got concerned that with the expense of having a new baby and the cost of the cruise, plus we were renting and decided we wanted to buy a house, we needed more space. So we ended up cancelling for the time. Well by the time Nov 2009 came around I wanted so badly to go on a cruise again so I quickly booked a 3 night on RCCL's Monarch, very small and older ship. But not too bad for our 2nd cruise together and DD's 1st cruise!! Well no cruise in 2010 which was a sad sad year for us (because no cruise lol) Anyways, we booked our cruise on Oasis finally and went on that one in August 2011. Soon after that we decided we really want to go to Disney!! We really wanted to take our DD to the parks but worried would she get the full effect by not getting to do everything. Then I was like I want to go to Disney and I want to go on a cruise as well but we couldn't afford to do both so we decided why not do a Disney Cruise. So we booked one!!! We went on Disney Fantasy in Nov/Dec 2013. Loved it!! DD had the best time!!! She enjoyed the clubs so much!! Well I really need to do a trip report for that cruise, maybe one day I will get it done. Hey I did write in a journal each day on the Fantasy, so I could go by that. Btw my DH did take a non-DCL cruise long time before we got together with his family on Carnival, but we won't talk about that lol. He is not a fan. He is hooked on DCL and will go back on RCCL, but refuses to go back on Carnival. So that's just a little bit of history of us and our cruising life. I don't want to overwhelm any readers with all our boring stuff just yet lol.
I became a DISboard member last year sometime before we went on Fantasy, not sure how I found this website but recently I have become addicted!! I love all the info I'm getting off everyone's RT's and PRT's. Its so nice!!
Like I said I'm 'new' to DISboards, so I'm trying to learn how to post on here and add pics. So plz bare with me. I'm gonna try to update as soon as possible!! I don't have a PC at home just an iPad so I'm posting as much as I can on my work PC. I may do a little on my iPad but I have to use the app and its funny sometime lol.
Here is a pic of my DD...I think she was only 4 at the time. I will hopefully soon be able to load our pics from last cruise and show some recent pics of us. Am I right that we can only upload pics from photobucker?? Any advise will be very helpful in that department lol. I pretty good with computers and many computer programs but this one is a little tricky for me until I get the hang of it. Anyways here is my sweet DD....
