Greetings fellow Mouseketeers!
At the urging of several Dis-ers (ahem...VBsHustla and UncleOrville), and combined with a massive desire to relive the glory that was our '09 Disney trip, I hereby begin my first official TR!
I didn't plan on doing this, so there may be a lack of pictures, and small foggy parts in my memory of places, but I'm going to do my best to put y'all right there with us as we took 1 airport, 3 ME buses, 2 WDW Resorts, 4 parks, several WDW buses and countless monorails by storm.
Ready.......here we go!
Let me introduce the players in our merry band.
Me (on the left) and DPIC (partner-in-crime)
I'm 30 and DPIC is 28. I'll discuss our Disney histories now.
I've been to Disney 8 times at ages 3 (off property, no recollection of where), 7 (off property at Raddison), 18 (Dixie Landings), 20 (Wilderness Lodge), 23 (Dolphin), 28 (off property-Windsor Hills), 29 (off property-Windsor Hills) and most recently at 30 which is the trip we're about to discuss. I'm a certified Mousejunkie and now plan (as long as health and wealth allow) on visiting WDW every year. My favorite parks are MK and Epcot and my favorite movies are Peter Pan, Mary Poppins, Aladdin and Lilo and Stitch.
DPIC has been 3 times, once at about 15 (ASM), 27 (off property-Windsor Hills) and on this most recent trip at 28. I'd guess that his favorite movies are The Little Mermaid and Aladdin. He's a big fan of the Disney villains with special soft spots in his heart for Jafar, Ursula and the Evil Queen from Snow White. He longs for an all-villain character breakfast.
Here's DS (sister) and DSBF (sister's boyfriend). They're both 21.
DS has been to WDW 6 times and has stayed at Dixie Landings, WL, Dolphin, and ASMo before this most recent trip. She's a junkie like me and by a mile, her favorite movie is The Little Mermaid. I'd guess she's most fond of MK and DHS.
DSBF has been to The World on several occasions, and I apologize for not knowing more about his Disney history, but I know he has stayed at the GF before and I'd bet money that his favorite park is Epcot, followed closely by MK.
Here's the final member of our troop. This is Mary Willowtree
Why is she "Mary Willow Tree?" Well, DPIC and I have a local dining establishment where we frequently break bread and clink cocktail glasses. It's called "The Willow Tree" and we met Mary there. We instantly loved her, but didn't figure out her last name for the first few weeks. By the time we did learn her last name, it was too late. She would forevermore be known as Mary Willowtree. She enjoys wide open spaces, and by that I mean that she likes a hotel room to herself, so she put herself up at the swanky Dolphin and met us each morning for our adventures.
There we are...
This is already exhausting!
When I get back to this (hopefully in the next 24 hours), I'll detail the pre-trip planning and tell you where we stayed and how we came to that decision.
If you care to keep reading, THANK YE!
I hope my life is as entertaining as I think it is!
