Hello and one and all to my October 2013 pre-trip report! This is my second PTR, in addition to two TR's and I'm excited to share my plans for anyone who will listen! Here are the links to all my other PTRs/TRs:
December 2011 TR (complete)- It's 9:15am and we're already off the Touring Plan - AKA: A Very Mickey Christmas!
September 2012 PTR(completed) - I miss Disney Let's go again! (Fun fact that I just realized: I started this PTR exactly a year ago today. Weird-o-rama!)
September 2012 TR - (in progress) - Are you Push?? Our sister trip around the World - A September 2012 TR
First, a couple intros as my travel gang this trip is a bit larger than before!
Who?
First up: my sister and I!
My name is Christina (left) and my sister is Jess (right). This will be our sixth trip together (and we each went once separately on our senior class trips). We are both accountants in Philadelphia and we live in South Jersey. We are Disney FANATICS and she is the best travel buddy!
Jess loves Monster's Inc. and Sully and her favorite parks are Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios! Her favorite ride is Rock 'n Rollercoaster.
As for me, my favorite park is Magic Kingdom, followed closely but Hollywood Studios. My favorite ride is Splash and my favorite thing about Disney is the FOOD!
Also joining us on this trip (for the first time!!!) is my DH, Bryan!
He had been to Disney only twice, and never with me! I'm really excited for him to join us We will be celebrating our second anniversary on this trip! I'm a BIT worried, since on our wedding day we were hit with a freak snowstorm and last year on our anniversary was Hurricane Sandy! Hopefully we won't bring any nasty weather with us. Bryan is a machinist here in South Jersey and loves to golf and hang out with our pup in his free time. He is most excited to ride Splash Mountain and to have a character breakfast, as well as play a round of golf with...
Jess' boyfriend (of 10 years!), Mike!
Him and Bryan are really close friends, so I think they're excited to be going together. I'm not sure what Mike is most looking forward to since the boys won't let us talk about our trip, but he's a fun guy and I'll know he'll have a great time. Mike works at a chemical company in South Jersey and his favorite hobby is golf!
Lastly, my parents will be joining us!
My dad is also an accountant (real cool people over here), and my mom is a homemaker. My mom came with us two years ago, but I haven't been to Disney with my Dad since I was young. My mom lovvvves Rock 'N Rollercoaster and is fun to travel with! I'm excited to show my dad around since he hasn't been in probably 15 years...he's never even been to Animal Kingdom!
When?
The dates of our trip are a bit confusing! My dad didn't want to take too much time off of work since they're going to Alaska in a few weeks, so my dad is coming Saturday Oct 26 - Tuesday Oct 29th (Me & Bryan's anniversary!).
Bryan and Mike are staying until Wednesday afternoon (Oct 30th), since they have a round of golf that morning.
Mom is staying until Wednesday night (Oct 30th), since she is doing something special with us on Wednesday morning!
Jess and I are staying until Sunday, Nov 3rd! We're excited that we get three days to "ourselves", to do all the stuff that the others may not enjoy!
As for resorts...that's another post since I've changed my mind a million times!
I'm going to steal the ADR guessing game from Katt's PTR because I think it's so much fun! I will post our daily plans on Sunday mornings, so by Saturday evening, everyone can guess where our ADR(s), if there are any, are going to be for that day! Here are some clues!
- We have SEVEN ADR's in total. TWO of them are signature experiences.
- We have been to THREE of them before, so FOUR of them are new.
- THREE of them are at resorts; ONE is at Magic Kingdom, TWO are at Epcot and ONE is at Hollywood Studios
For our first day we have one ADR. It is at a resort and we have been there before....hopefully that doesn't make it too easy!
ETA: Bonus point to this first person who can guess what movie my report title is from. No cheating!!
