Pre-Trip How to celebrate a proper 20/40 in just 18 months...

Hello again…It seems only fitting that we invite you all along again since you were there for the first five surf n turf adventures. This time should be slightly more epic. I’ve been going back and forth about even doing a TR for this trip. After a few of these things you can start getting burned out and wonder if there is even value in it. I ebb and flow on it depending on the day and have even been putting this off for a while. I think I’ll go back to a traditional TR(not live) and see how that goes. Let us get some business out of the way first for those not in the know.

The who, Me and @imahistorygeek :

What: The 20/40 Surf n Turf trip of funtivities to celebrate things and stuff

When: May 3-13

Where: A Caribbean Fantasy sammy on Poly bread!

Why: Well, we’re kind of killing two birds with this endeavor. This year we each hit an individual milestone as well as a shared milestone, I’ll let you Nancy Drew that. Let’s just say one of us hits one milestone before the other by a few months and I may like to brag about it at times

We are just 11 days out and still have a ton of packing to do, if you followed our April trip this should be no surprise. So far we have received more Christmas garland links as well as our cruise documentation.

More details to follow

Gooooood morning!

Well today is the day! 18 months in the making and we get on the boat in a few hours. We’re rope dropping MK for a couple hours before we catch the cruise bus to port this morning, cant wait!

Osceola prkwy is a straight up mess. You can no longer turn left on to World Dr. coming from AK, gotta go up to Victory to bang a U.

Oh my. I've glanced at the various threads about the roads in the area, and none of it sounds good. Years ago, I used to rent a car and drive around, but with road changes and all the increased traffic over the years, I refuse to drive now. I only take WDW transportation to parks, or a taxi/towncar, to and from airport to my hotel (usually the Swan).

Gooooood morning!

Good morning to the both of you as well ! Another Disney morning for you two lucky people! By the way, I realy like this photo a lot--great composition with the white coffee cup on the dark porch railing, with palm trees and a Poly building in the background.

So we’re on the monorail now but as we passed through the lobby we saw this

The Fantasy!!!

For reference, we will be sleeping right here

You’ll have a blast! This will be our second aft room, we like the huge verandas back there and the proximity to the food and adult entertainment.

Have a great cruise!

Thank you, ma’am, we’re going to try!

Weve got our swim trunks and our flippy floppys..

 

[Zipadeelady]

Love your room reference picture! I showed J your flipy flop picture. He said we should do that, I think we'll have him hooked before we know it. Now I just need to get the kids' education finances out of the way then maybe I can start planning.

Oh My Gosh! You're right, a beer exchange would definitely make J happy. He loves trying different beers. Did you get any good ones?

June 22nd - 8 night Eastern

Too bad that wasn't a little later... we may have ended up honeymooning with you. But that's our wedding day so make sure to have a toast with us!

I appreciate this. The song my date and I arrived to for my junior prom.

Gooooood morning!

Having a blast so far! One of the couples we got seated with during our dining rotation is a WDWMagic member who recognized me from my TRs, small world!

What is this...day 3? Im not real sure i just know its our second day at sea and we make port tomorrow for some funtivities. Apparently one of the ports has AT&T coverage and I might check in again then.
