Introduction
Welcome, welcome, to the third TR of Amber and Marie. Arguably the first 'real' trip of ours and certainly an adventure that will be hard to forget. In fact, it was such a big adventure that it requires two narrators.
That's right! This TR will be narrated by both myself and by my lovely DW, Marie.
There's an easy way to tell who is writing what. Want to know it? Our usernames will be on the top left corner But, if you want it to be easier and don't want to have to look for who is writing it, all my posts will be written with the current color and font.
Marie's posts will be written like this.
I know, I've always used purple in the past and now she's using it. Oh well, I trust you guys will keep it straight. Plus, in mine I'll use Marie's name and she'll use mine in hers so that should help
Now that that is all settled, let's get on with the introductions because there are a lot of them this time around. If you followed along with our PTR you'll have already read this, but otherwise I've got the run down here.
The Narrators
Your Ghost Host
That would be me. I'm Amber, I'm 21 years old, cancer free from lymphoma (hence my buttons that you'll see this trip), a Michigan native but Quebec immigrant and Disney is my happy place. I was one of the two 'moms' of the trip. I love Winnie the Pooh, Beauty and the Beast, Cars, and The Haunted Mansion. I'm also a slightly unreliable narrator. Fair warning.

Your Chief Flight Attendant
That would be my lovely wife, Marie. She's 25 years old and was the other trip 'mom' of the group. She loves all things Disney and tends to be the planner of the group. She's much more patient than I am and will probably be a better narrator than I am. Soarin is her happy place and she gives this trip a better overall rating than I do.

The Friends
Eli
Properly named Cassandra, she'll be called Eli throughout the TR. She's 24, from New Jersey and we've known her since 2008. I'm not going to lie, she made this trip difficult for me. So, when it comes to things written about her, the tone will probably not always be the best. She wasn't terrible the whole time and we had some good times, so I'll try not to be too harsh on her.
Would we take her again? No.

Merranda
An improv comedian, Merranda had everyone cracking up all trip. She's 20, from Michigan and I've known her since I was in the 1st grade. She was awesome all trip and very easy going. She especially enjoyed Epcot and snacking around the world.
Would we take her again? Definitely.

Traci
I've been friends with Traci since I moved to my old town in the 7th grade. She's 21 and goes to college in Tennessee, where she came straight from to Orlando to take this trip. She was great company although she was having issues with her feet during the trip so she sometimes had trouble keeping pace.
Would we take her again? Yup.

Veronica
Veronica and Merranda were pretty much partners in crime this trip, meaning they were hilarious together. She's a vegetarian so we had to plan around that for the first time, is 20 and from Michigan. I've also known her since 7th grade. Her ambition this trip was to spot an alligator. She also enjoys ice cream. A lot
Would we take her again? Absolutely.
Random quote: "Look at all the venomous snakes that live in Florida!"
Now that all those introductions are out of the way let's give some more quick information.
Where? All Star Sports Resort with connecting rooms.
When? May 11th to May 19th, 2014
Why? This is explored in the PTR but long story short: Marie and I never had a proper wedding, so we decided to spend the money to take our favorite people to Disney World instead. This means we paid room and tickets for everyone. We also paid for food for Eli and Traci.
Additional information: We purchased the Memory Maker. Marie and I still had our APs but all the girls had regular Magic Your Way tickets.
This trip is going to be a roller coaster, but what do you expect with 6 girls and 4 first timers at the World? Here's some of what you can expect along the way:
So settle in, grab your favorite snack and get ready because it's going to be a wild ride.
