"Three Weeks Until Our Disney Cruise"--No, Not Us, Another Family

“It’s three weeks until our cruise, Jody.  Just three weeks!” was the greeting I got in the grocery store last evening by the spouse of a retired colleague.  I had previously helped him when he had phoned inquiring about how a stay at the Hyatt in Orlando International prior to sailing worked—click here to read more.

His wife then proceeded to tell me that he had already gotten out the suitcases and wanted to get packing.  He told me that they had all their cruise documents and were ready to go.  His wife said sailing during “off season” really paid off—so to speak.

Before we parted ways at the check-out lanes, he said to me, “Jody, did I tell you how long it is until our cruise?”

I played along and asked with a smile, “How long until your Disney cruise?”

“Three weeks!” he replied enthusiastically.

This just proves that you are never TOO OLD for a Disney vacation of any kind!  This couple has sailed with Disney before and frequented Walt Disney World.  They are looking forward to their next cruise, dare I say excitedly!  That feeling of anticipation of the fun, relaxation, memories, and magic is for people of any age.

I am so happy for them and wish upon a star that the husband and I will be able to do the same thing when we retire.  Bon Voyage!
