Mandatory Introductory Info about The UnDisney family and this cruise.
Greetings and happy November (if there is such a thing) to all.
I am writing this having just realized (for the first time, I swear), that I failed to finish my last report, that I was 100% sure was done. Oops. Blame middle-age. I will finish it, but as that will take a bit of digging for photos, I'll do this one first (and finish it).
So- with that stellar opening, I bring you our latest adventures on the Mouse Boat, as a family of folks who still don't like Frozen, who skipped all opportunities to see the previews of Frozen 2 (or 5, or whatever it's at), and who only barely recognize any Disney characters that are not Pixar-based or part of Mickey's original crew.
We have just returned from a 5 day/night cruise from the proverbially Big Apple, to San Juan and, oh my, it was a Merrytime cruise. I didn't find a lot of TRs about this cruise, so here we go.
For those who have not met us, (virtually speaking), I will provide introductions.
We are a family of 3 (not counting 2 very poorly behaved cats), hailing from middle-sized-town Ontario, Canada. We do not love Disney. We have never been to the parks. As noted above, we haven't watched many of the movies. However, many years ago now, we were convinced to try DCL, and we appreciate Uncle Walt's smarts (on his ships anyway) and approaches to keeping adults and kiddos happy, so, we seem to keep going back. This was cruise number 8 for us. This is beyond belief, really, but well, it is what it is.
Other important info:
DH: 50+UnDisney dad, who doesn't know the difference between Anna and Elsa (I had to study myself)
Me: Not yet 50 (ha!) mom who generally feels like she will break out in hives if she hangs out near the Princess gatherings.
Conor: 11.5 (exactly as of yesterday) year old figure-skating, Harry Potter-loving, chef-boy, who loves the ships, but won't watch most of the movies.
And here is our cruise itinerary - on the Magic.
And, per tradition, I'll give you how we ended up on this cruise, and our general planning details, because I like to plan, and I feel the need to pay it forward by sharing details.
