11 Days Later and Cruise Ponderings

Since my post last week, Fay ended up not being a huge problem for Florida, but it ensured tons and tons and tons of rain. Even so, the temperature has been pretty hot most of that time. Heat continues to be my biggest concern about going to Disney World in late August... but it becomes slightly less concerning when I consider how much money could be saved. Even so...

I've been wondering if we'll continue with plans for the cruise portion of the vacation. Of course, even if we don't go, anyone/everyone else should feel welcome to go. It would be far more enjoyable with the full vacation clan on the cruise, but I would still highly recommend it for anyone who's even the least bit interested. We'll see though. My main concern is the cost. It's not a question of whether or not it's worth it, just whether or not it will be financially feasible for us 3 years from now, which is hard to say.

Information on at least one of the 2 new Disney ships will by available within the next year or so, and prices for 2011 cruises will be released next fall. It's insane to think that if we do go on the cruise, we would be eligible to put down a deposit for it in approximately one year's time. Prices go up the further we get from their release, so everyone should be prepared to make a decision for themselves and/or their group/family by then.

I'm not sure if I'll schedule the big planning meeting for a year from now, but I will at the very least have a presentation and video online and on DVD by then. If not next year, then the big planning meeting will most likely be scheduled in about 2 years time.
