Hello everyone and Welcome aboard the newest trip report from your good friend Katt!! Or, if youre new here and just came in to check things out, your brand new friend Katt!! Yay! 
Im just here to do the usual run down and intro post before getting things going on our latest and greatest adventure!!
Who:
Me, Katt! Your Wilderness Explorer guide and ghost host for today!!
Im 24 years old, or, a mere 6 if you go by the rules of Neverland, and of course, I am 6, and will always act like it, especially at Disney! Baha! My first trip was back in 1997 when I was a mere 7 (for real this time) over to Disneyland, back when it was one park. I was very fortunate to go on this trip as my Mom was a single mother and only worked part time in order to be home with me when she could! I then took a break from Disney for 14 years almost exactly, and returned in May 2011 with a group of friends, and from there, the addiction began!
When Im not at flying around in an elephant in Florida, you can generally find me bartending at your local dinner theater way up here in the good ole Canada! I also dance, and have performed/danced/competed my entire life through a wide variety of things, and between the love for that, and love for Disney now have a goal to be part of the entertainment strain of the company! Ultimate dream: Festival of the Lion King bird! ACK! My one true love, but really, Ill do anything if it involves performing. And after this most recent trip, Ive decided that when my entertainment days are over, I would love to take up a role in Guest Relations and end up doing the variety of tours that Disney has to offer!
Favorites:
Park: Magic Kingdom, followed closely by Animal Kingdom
Land in MK: Main Street!
Rides: Tower of Terror, Toy Story Mania, Expedition Everest, Splash Mtn, the Peoplemover
Attractions: Hoop De Doo, Festival of the Lion King, One Man's Dream, the Wilderness Explorer game!
Nighttime Show: Hallowishes and Fantasmic, and Wishes
Snack: Uncrustables, Le Fou's Brew, GM Slush!
Characters: Tinkerbell, Periwinkle,Lottie, Naveen, Rapunzel, Tigger, Duffy
Table Service Restaurant: Be Our Guest
Overall Favorite Part: Certain parts of the Keys to the Kingdom Tour that well talk about later, and the Halloween Party, and getting to go with someone who had never been before to see the magic "through their eyes!"
Now, who joined me on this trip? Well, first off, was my Mom; Ann! From here on well call her Mom!
It was her second trip down to Disney World, after I took her on a surprise Birthday trip last Sept, where it was just the two of us and I showed her the ropes of everything! We met pretty much all the characters, ate at a TON of restaurants, and she even braved ever single ride that I went on! She did tell me to warn her next time I planned on taking her on Everest 3 times in a row though! Mom was super excited to get back into the swing of things, and have some dance parties with some characters and eat some good food again! Moms the mere age of 10, and was technically celebrating her birthday on this trip as well! She works part time I believe now, but is mainly retired from her official job. She does keep occupied though, as shes on a gymnastics team strictly for people above the age of 60 (I believe thats the age, could be wrong, haha).
Through this gymnastics team, comes the third member of our party, Anne!
When I started to talk to Mom about going down again in Sept, she said that Anne had always wanted to go, but her husband wasnt a fan of crowds, so she would come with us!! Anne was celebrating a birthday this trip, on the 19, so it was even during the trip! And since it gets revealed later, Ill just tell you, she was turning the 80 years young! Amazing!!
That about covers the big intros! There were MANY guest stars along the way, both old friends, familiar faces, and brand new people to meet!
When: September 11-19th!
Where: Disneys Port Orleans French Quarter
Why: Well, we were celebrating two birthdays, and its Sept, its a great time to go to Disney World!!
Special Stuff: -We had Mickeys Not So Scary Halloween Party tickets booked, and I had TWO nights of parties that wed be going to!
-Keys to the Kingdom Tour was booked for the last morning!
-Annes Birthday!
- I had plenty of Disneybounding outfits to try out! For those of you who dont know what that is, its when you take regular, every day clothes, and put them together into outfits that resemble the character! Its a nice way to pay respect to your favorite characters without actually dressing up, as adults arent supposed to!
-And of course, with September Disney trips, comes FREE DINING!! I booked the package once we knew we were going, and then once the free dining was released, I added it to our package and made sure all our ADRs were correct, and boy was I excited to try some new places, and of course, return to some old favorites!
Now that weve covered all the basics, Ill leave you with this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7E0Xq6q-HBs&list=HL1381333545
Its our trip video!! I had been wanting to make one for ages, and finally got just enough video clips to make it work, I was determined! Its not the best, and I didnt get enough video with US in it, and the transitions are a little choppy at the beginning, but hey, its a start!
Thanks for joining, and Ill try to stop babbling so much in the next little bit and get on with the GOOD STUFF!!

Wow!!! I hope I look half that good at her age... 
wouldn't miss it for the world! Your mom is so adorable and sweet and holy smokes, Anne is 80?!? Really? I never would have guessed that. Can't wait to hear about everything, dying to hear about keys to the kingdom, i want to do that next time I go.
