Calling all Frumps, Fanatics, Fans and Foodies!
Hi-Ho everyone! Welcome to my second trip report ever! You may recognize me from my first trip report: "SUCK IT UP BUTTERCUP! It Builds Character and Strength!"or perhaps from my best friend and fellow DISer, Jess' (Disneyfreak508) two trip reports that I am in: The Port Report: Frumpin' Around the World with the Bathrobe Princesses! and "There's NO Sleeping In Disney!
These trip reports are definitely worth a look-see, especially the last one! You see, I went on the trip you are about to experience with my family, having NO idea whatsoever that Jess and our best friend Nat (Disneyfreak828) were going to come down there and SURPRISE ME!!! For all the details on how they came up with the idea to surprise me, everything leading up to it, the parts of their trip that I was not in, and some VERY important definitions, make sure you click on that last link up there!
Ladies and gentleman, Welcome! We'll show YOU a laughing place (or a trip report!) right down here....
