Disney Magic Back in LA 2008

Same here. And I can't possibly explain it. If I'm at home, I can't stand to be inside with nowhere to go and the same things to do over and over. If I'm vacation on dry land, you'd sooner catch me dead then wandering around the hotel, no matter how swanky it is. I'm the kind that has a detailed itinerary for every hour of every day weeks ahead of my departure date, and backup plans should something not go to schedule.

But put me in the middle of the ocean, and that magically gets shut off. I don't care what I'm doing or what I'm not doing or what I could be doing. All I care about is making sure I know exactly what food is available at what hours and when sunset is so I don't miss it.

I agree with that as well. Our Disney cruise was the most relaxed I've every been by the end of it (and highlighted just how tense work had been making me and played a huge role in Lani and I deciding I should quit).

If Disney were the only cruise line around and that itinerary there only one I'd probably take it. But they aren't (and they aren't even the best one around) so I'm ok with being picky about the ports of call (price was 70% of why we bowed out of the Mediterranean cruises but the uninteresting ports (or ports where we couldn't stand the thought of only being there for 8 hours) was the other 30%).

I love that. Especially how servers usually learn within a couple days how you take your coffee or other drinks and have them waiting for you without even having to ask. On our honeymoon, our stateroom hostess even noted what time we'd usually wake in the morning, so she didn't disturb us until way after then.

It's like I tip them to think for me.
