View Full Version : "It's been a long year since Disney World!" A Pre-Trip report

Hello everybody, and welcome to my Pre-Trip Report! Last year I attempted to start a PTR, but it was a terrible failure. This time, I promise to complete it! For a few months now, I've been pondering on starting on myself. I've been lurking many other people for ideas and such, and I finally think that I am ready! So lets start.


http://i393.photobucket.com/albums/pp15/the_academy_is_fanz/DSCN1362-1.jpg
This is me. My name is Sophie, and I'm a fourteen year old freshman in high school. I play softball and love watching sports. I love The Flyers, The Phillies, and I'm a huge WWE fan. I've been going to Disney since I was eight, and I've lost count of how many times I've actully been :laughing:
So here are a few of my favourite Disney things:
Rides: Expedition Everest, TTA, and Star Tours
Park: EPCOT
Resort: Animal Kingdom Lodge
Show: Carousel of Progress
Character: Eeyore
Movie: Alice in Wonderland or Peter Pan
Food: Goofy's sour gummies (I get about 8 packs in a trip!)
Sit down resturant: Chef Mickey's
QS resturant: Cosmic Ray's

http://i393.photobucket.com/albums/pp15/the_academy_is_fanz/DSCN1360.jpg
This is my dad. He loves watching baseball, expecially The Phillies. He also loves hockey as much as me, and we watch The Flyers every time they are on (even though they are currently failing miserably ;D). He also likes WWE. Some of his favourite Disney things are:
Rides: Maulstrom, Splash Mountain, and Toy Story Mania
Park: EPCOT
Resort: Saratoga Springs
Show: Mickey's Philhar Magic
Character: Donald
Movie: Snow White
Food: Dole Whip
Sit down resturant: Turf Club
QS resturant: Cosmic Ray's

http://i393.photobucket.com/albums/pp15/the_academy_is_fanz/DSCN1358.jpg
This is my mom. She loves decorating and shopping. She doesn't enjoy sports as much as me and my dad, but she sometimes watches them and comes to games with us. She likes WWE too, but she only likes John Cena. She also isn't a huge Disney fan either, but she likes coming with us for a break from work. Here are her favourite things:
Rides: Pirates of the Carribean, Big Thunder Mountain, and Expedition Everest
Park: EPCOT
Resort: Boardwalk Inn
Show: She doesn't have a favourite.
Character: Tinkerbell
Movie: Homeword Bound
Food: Pineapple spears (from that place where you get Dole Whips, i forget the name)
Sit down resturant: Turf Club
QS resturant: Pecos Bills Cafe

http://i393.photobucket.com/albums/pp15/the_academy_is_fanz/26980_110888125588872_1000000305553.jpg
And last but not least, my cousin, Dakota. She is 13 years old. I never get to see her, because she lives in California. I havn't seen her in over three years but we practically talk every day on Facebook. She's flying out to New Jersey a few days before the trip, and staying a few days after the trip. I'm really excited about seeing her. She plays baseball and loves things like The Jonas Brothers and Justin Beiber (ick). She's never been to WDW before, but has been to Disneyland a few times. I know she likes thrill rides, but I havn't interviewed her for the things she likes yet, but hopefully I can tell you all soon.

Okay, that's all for now. Next update: When and where!

By the way, if anybody has any tips of anything for me, it would help me A LOT! [:

I've eaten at 'Ohana, Chef Mickey's, and Le Chefs de France.

'Ohana is my FAVORITE restaurant in WDW! The food is amazing and the themeing is perfect

Chef Mickey's was fun, because of the characters.

Chefs de France was really nice. The guy out front who calls your name for your reservation *at least when we went* was a lot of fun to talk to

The theming of it looks really nice too.

I've been wanting to try 'Ohana for a long time and I finally talked my dad into making reservations this trip! The food there sounds really good.

And that's really cool about the guy outside Chefs de France, I love talking with randomers. :P

I've been really busy, so I havn't had anytime to update. But now I'm on Easter break!

Okay, so about 2 days ago, my dad made the flights.

On the 24th, our flight leaves at 6:10am from Philly. I'm SUPER happy about this because I love early flights in, and we'll most likely be in Orlando by 8:10, and it Disney by 10:00!

And our flight home is at 11:00am. I wanted a later flight out, so we could use our last reservation, but it's not going to happen.

Atleast we got a good flight there!

next update: my top ten for magic kingdom!

Okay, so yesterday was April 24th, and that means that yesterday I was exactly 2 months away from my trip! And now, I'm less than 2 months away! :p

I was planning on updating yesterday, but I got quite caught up. I had a softball game early in the morning, and I ended up getting quite beaten up from the game. We had a total out of control pitcher on the other team and I ended up getting hit two times (one time in the elbow and another right in the knee) and both are have these nasty bruises on them. I also hurt myself sliding home, but it was worth it because I ended up making it home ;)
When I got home I was going to update but I found National Treasure on TV then the next one came on, so of course I had to watch both xD

But anyways, now I'm updating with my must do's for Holly Studios (which I still call MGM, it's habit! ;D)


8. The Villions shop
7. Walt Disney: One Man's Dream (I love going through here, everything inside is just really cool)
6. Muppet Vision 3D
5. Voyage of the Little Mermaid
4. The Magic of Disney Mania (I love going through here and drawing a character, because I'm an artist myself :3)
3. Toy Story Mania
2. The Great Movie Ride
1. Star Tours!

Most people would have The Rockin' Rollercoaster and ToT on theirs, but I've never been on either. I've really only become a trill ride liker for maybe 2 years now, and we usually only go in June, where it's super crowded, so these lines are long, and I havn't had a chance to ride them. Hopefully this time I can ride atleast Tot! :]

When we go in the summer, the line is normally 30 minutes or so

really? whenever we look the line is like 50 minutes or more, which we are always too lazy to wait it. we would normally get fast passes, but we usually only spend about 3 hours in HS the entire trip.

Hope you get a chance to ride Tot and RNRC. They are great rides :]

they both seem really fun :]
