    Ohh Great suggestions everyone!!!

    And to the lady that asked if her teenagers were too old for a Disney cruise... We are getting together for a family vacation, and all of us kids are adults now and we are still crazy excited! And no none of us have kids! lol.

    I'll definately have to try the turtle farm and stingray farm! Thanks for all the Houston suggestions too! I think we are going to hire a private tour guide to take us around cozumel... I've been before, hoping to get the guy that I had last time and have him show our family! He had to be the best guide ever! hope he's still working!

    Mr. Sancho's in cozumel is awesome... it has everything... beach/shopping/horseback riding/atv riding... food and drinks... it is amazing...

    if you get into Galveson early.. there is a new carnival type thing on Sea Wall boulevard that is super fun.

    I've got no input on the ports, but I will say that Disney cruises are AMAZING! We sailed on the Dream to the Bahamas in September. The ship was beautiful, the food was excellent, and all of the staff was wonderful. My husband and I had a great time and our son didn't hardly ever want to leave the Oceaneer's Club.

    We decided to skip dinner one night and stay in our room. We ordered one of everything that looked good off the room service menu. The steak sandwich was the best and the cookies are gigantic! I helped myself to way too much free soft serve ice cream too.

    we did snorkeling and swimming with sting rays in caymen. it was pretty freaking awesome.
    i wish i enjoyed the food more, i was relapsing back into my eating disorder at that time, so i was swimming mass amounts and not really eating a lot, i did try a little of a lot of things i normally would not eat (as long as they didn't have meat). i think most of my calories were from alcohol though.
    we had a blast at night though, they had strong long islands and amazing live music, danced for hours!

    Grand Cayman - if its warm enough go to Stingray City. DO IT! (Unless you don't swim) We had a great time there. My kids were about 17 and 13 and they were catching stingrays and trying to get the scardy cats to pet them. Be Brave!


    ( And for all ya'll that don't swim - for pete's sake - and your own - stay out of the water until you learn to swim. We just lost another non swimmer down here, in a canoe tip over. It breaks my heart.)

    Also - I have never personally heard a bad review about a Disney cruise.

    Down here in central Florida we the people have the opportunity to cruise a lot so I get a lot of feedback from my fellow cruisers. I haven't gone on Disney because my husband considers casino time part of the cruise fun and Disney does not have a casino. If I were still working at Disney we would be on one regardless. I have a co-worker (not at Disney) who just hates kids, but really loves the Disney brand. She hesitantly went on the cruise and came back with rave reviews that she did not even see "the kids." On the other hand the people with kids are ecstatic too. The entertainment seems to please all ages.

    I hope you have a SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPIALIDOCIOUS time!

    Thanks for your suggestions everyone! We all had a great time, and too many Mickey bars. lol

    I'm also happy to report that I not only fit fine in the airplane seats, but had probably 3-4 inches of slack on the belt as well!
