<\/a>Trip Overview<\/span><\/u>
A couple of months ago I woke up and checked my e-mail like I do every morning.  I subscribe to tons of internet travel websites.  Travelocity was having a 24 hour cruise sale.  I clicked on the link not thinking much about it, but lo and behold they had a killer deal listed on a Disney Cruise.  I have not been able to afford a Disney Cruise since I worked at Disneyland 10 years ago.  The cruise prices listed were as low as when I worked for the Disney Company and got a HUGE Cast Member discount, plus they were offering a $200 on board credit per state room if you booked through Travelocity.  I felt a flutter in my heart knowing that if I booked this cruise, I could finally take my kids on a Disney Cruise. The cruise was a re-positioning cruise.  Re-positioning cruises are great because the boat is moving to a new port for a season of sailings, but they want to make money while they are moving the ship, so they give some amazing deals to fill an otherwise empty boat.  Disney Cruise Line does many re-positioning cruises throughout the year, but never while I am off of work on a break from teaching, so I had to snatch that deal up. <\/span>

<\/span>Trip Itinerary<\/span><\/u>

Overall this was a 10 day, 9 night trip.  We had to fly to get to our embarkation port in Galveston, TX.  We spent a couple of days in Texas, then we were on the cruise for 6 nights.  We disembarked in San Juan, Puerto Rico.  I would have loved to spend a couple more days in Puerto Rico, but I had to get back to work, so we only spent one night there.  <\/span>

Day 1: Flew from Long Beach, CA to Austin, TX.  We stayed at a hotel by the airport since we got in late.  <\/span>
Day 2:  Traveled to Galveston, TX by rental car<\/span>
Day 3: Departed from Galveston, TX on our cruise<\/span>
Day 4\/5\/6: At Sea aboard the Disney Wonder<\/span>
Day 7: St. Thomas – U.S. Virgin Island<\/span>
Day 8: Tortola – British Virgin Island<\/span>
Day 9: Disembarked ship in San Juan, Puerto Rico<\/span>
Day 10:  Traveled Home<\/span>

<\/span>MVP <\/b>(My Vacations Pants) Trip Tip: Don’t always think you HAVE to fly out the day of the cruise and fly right back the day your cruise ends.  We extended our vacation by three days and saw some amazing things by extending our trip.  We also saved money on airfare because we didn’t fly in\/out when everyone else did from the cruise ship.<\/i><\/span>

<\/span><\/u>Trip Budget<\/span><\/u><\/span>

We booked at the right time.  Disney Cruises are known for being extremely expensive.  Because this one was a re-positioning cruise leaving right after New Years, it was a great deal.  This was definitely an expensive vacation for us, but still worth the extra expense.  <\/span>
