Life Getting in the Way of Disney

So last fall I did what every neurotic Disney fan does and I planned out my entire 2012 Disney schedule.  Short weekend trip in January during school break, Star Wars Weekend in May, long trip in July and top if off with a 4-night cruise in November.

The perfect Disney plan for the year that included friends joining us on multiple trips.  Oh man were we fired up and excited...

Then life got in the way!

First, the January trip went bye bye as work expectations meant I could not travel.  All was fine with the family-- plenty of other trips on the horizon.  We did a little juggling and made sure we could get the Beach Club for May, which was my wife's high point for our January trip.

Well then July goes out the window because of work.  That was fine, we'd juggle schedule, check with our friends and move it all to August.  No big deal-- actually less crowded and fewer DVC points to stay!

Then my wife has a surprise for me-- we are pregnant... AGAIN!  Yes, our youngest son not even a year old and here comes another baby.  And when is the baby due? August of course!

So we quickly cancel our summer plans.  That is fine, we've still got May and the cruise in November.  What was that? The baby must be three months old to cruise?  The due date is exactly three months out from the cruise departure?  Wife you better not be late on this one... I need the cruise! Yes, I actually told the OBGYN she needed to make sure the baby was out in time.

And the final kicker... Work tells us we're getting moved.  Time to re-schedule the May trip as well, but thankfully we pushed it back to June.

So here I am... a few months ago we had planned out 14 days at Disney World and a 4-night cruise.  Now all I am guaranteed is four days at Disney World and a prayer that my baby doesn't run late like its mother always does... The joys of life!

And I wouldn't have it any other way...
