May 19th-May 25th we are all staying at The Villas at the Wilderness Lodge in a 2 bedroom villa. Brad, Tim and I will go back to Disney at the Villas at Animal Kingdom Lodge for four more days. We are from Puyallup, Washington (just south of Seattle). We are flying in on the red eye to Orlando on May 19th.
May 25-June 1st, 2013 7 night 2nd Fantasy cruise (for Becky, Brad and Tim) with the family.
Who is on this journey?
Me-Becky, avid Disney lover all my life, I grew up in Cocoa Fl. So I have been going to WDW since it opened. I work at Youth Missions International and as a travel agent. I am trying to make myself visit other places besides Disney so I can help others make plans, but we only want to do Disney lol. 2nd cruise on the Fantasy, have also cruised on Magic and Wonder.
Husband-Brad, also an avid Disney lover, we spent our honeymoon at Walt Disney World and have gone back as many times as possible, retired Army Chinook pilot, so he loves to talk military to anyone who will listen. We have been married for 27 years, wow .
Oldest son-Matthew (23) just married June 1, 2012. Dish installer and will soon be going to seminary to become a pastor. This is Matthews first time on the Fantasy since they had just spent their honeymoon at Disney World when we cruised last summer, and could not get more time off work. He also loves Disney and has been going all his life.
Daughter-in-law-Brittany (married to Matthew) they will celebrate their 1st anniversary the day the cruise ends. Brittany has never been on a Disney cruise before, so we cant wait to show her how fun they are! I am excited to have a girl with us, I am usually the only one!! Her first time at WDW was on their honeymoon. She works for Columbia bank, loves animals, and is a wonderful DIL.
Youngest Son-Tim, always the baby, well a 65 baby, lol.. Going to community college to get his AA and then will go to Tacoma Bible college. He wants to be a full time sports ministry missionary, he works as the Sports Missions Specialist for Youth Mission International. He just had ACL surgery and he just told me to tell you that he is awesome, he really is, but dont tell him that I said so!!!
Pre-trip report: 2-4-13
We are almost at the 100 day mark so I can start booking cruise activities!!
I get to start booking on the 8th, this coming Saturday. On Sunday we finally all sat down and looked over the port activities and picked out what we want to do. Tim just had knee surgery two and a half weeks ago, ACL repair, so we are not really sure what all he will be able to do yet. Also, we want to book Palo for the 2nd to the last night and Remy for the last night. We did it this way last August on the Fantasy and loved it. We are all so excited to go we keep talking about it all the time, we listen to Disney music, watch Disney movies and I read all of the trip reports I can find.

Yay, tonight at 9:00pm our time I was able to go on-line and make our cruise reservations. We are going to scuba dive, ride ATVs/beach, husband will be doing ruins all alone, (no one else wants to go) he keeps telling me he is fine with this. Also, made reservation for Palo and Remy, could only get 7:00pm I wanted later so we could still see the shows.

Bummer,I forgot to book the jet ski excursion on CC, so we could not get it for all five of us, I tried to get it for four with no luck either. I could only get three, so we will let the kids do it while we soak up some sun. This was one of my favorite things on our last cruise.

It seems like time is going so slow. I made the reservations today for ME. That was fun, just wish we were arriving at MCO sooner.

90 Days until we fly out for Florida!! I cant wait.
Yesterday, Brittany asked me to go and look at a house in Tacoma with her. Matthew has to work, the only they have off together is Sunday and since they and their realtor have church they cant see houses together. We are so proud of them; they are already looking to buy their first house!! We loved the house, it is an older rambler, but nicely updated with a lot of storage and space, great backyard with a covered porch (a must with our rainy weather here) for cooking out.
I have been reading a lot of trip reports so we talked it over tonight and decided to book at Palo brunch for our first day at sea. Brad and I did one a while ago and I forgot how much we liked it, so I think the kids will all enjoy it. Brad, Tim and I also watched an older Disney cruise DVD tonight; we just are all so excited!!

50 days until we leave for Disney!!! I it strange to read back over this report and see how long ago I started it.
A few updates, not really much new on the planning, but we are going to do the FEs for the first time on this cruise. I hope I can buy or make some good gifts. Not really sure what to do, I may steal some ideas that I have read about in other trip reports.
Matthew and Brittany should be closing on their house any day, so exciting. Plus it will keep us busy and help time to pass more quickly, lots of painting and scrapping of popcorn ceilings and some kitchen work, need to fit in a microwave and dishwasher. DH used to buy and fix up houses so this is right up his alley.
