I am counting down the days to our trip to the world and our cruise on the dream. I have to keep my excitement on the inside. This trip is a surprise for my kids. They have been dying to go on the Dream. I suppose I should start with the cast of characters:
I am Toya, 37- also known as the Disney Nut
DH, Jeff, 40- the one who married the Disney Nut and has paid the price for it almost annually
DD, Princess Taylor, 12- My autistic princess who sleeps, eats, and breathes Disney (I don't know where she gets it)
DD, Princess Jasmine, 10- Yep, I named her after Princess Jasmine, I fully admit it.
DS, Prince Jaden, 8- Not ashamed to wear his ears, hold my hand, and skip down Main Street with his daddy
Ganny- Happy to tag along with the crazy Mouse loving family. She is as fun as she looks
DN, Prince RJ- Will go anywhere with his auntie if there is a possibility he will end up in Disney World.
That is the short list. This trip was planned way back in 2007 when we were on the Disney Wonder. We surprised our girls with that cruise. My bff and her husband and 6 month old joined us on that trip. We decided when her baby was potty trained we would do another cruise. Well along came baby #2 and #3. Yep neither one of us was expecting that to happen. Number 3 potty trained very quickly so we booked our trip as soon as the window opened for booking. If we could have camped out on the Disney Cruise website until the dates became available we would have. Our husbands thought we were crazy until the price skyrocketed shortly after we booked. Now we are "the awesome wives that were only looking out for our best financial interest". Yeah... sure! Since our children would bug us to death we decided to keep it a secret. My kids are Disney veterans. Her kids have never been to the parks. We put out an invite to friends and family who want to join us. Lots of people signed up but only a few are actually going. My mother was only too happy to go. She has never been on a cruise. My nephew thinks he is one of our kids so it is only natural that we bring him along too. Another family is joining us with 3 more kids. All together we will have 8 adults and 10 kids.
