I Know Theres A Hanna-Barbera Land Around Here Somewhere!
While we were in Animal Kingdom this past May, my DH Davis actually heard someone say that exact phrase. Poor guy, he probably never did find that place...
Welcome to our Trip Report! If you happened to see this Pre-Trip Report on the boards earlier this year; were finally here for the real deal! Writing this Trip Report is going to be a real challenge for two main reasons:
- I did not take notes this year!
- We got home from Disney World waaaaaaaaaaaay back at the beginning of June and specific details are a bit fuzzy.
- I failed to organize our pictures when loading them onto the computer. Trying to organize them by day almost two months later is hard.
Ok, so three main reasons.
Before I go any further, lets have some introductions, shall we?
Me. Bridget. In the car and on the way...
(Reading that back reminded me of the note Piglet wrote in Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day. It said, Help, Piglet (me); or close to that anyway.)
Im 31. I work in the office of a small business that sells all kinds of things Monday Thursday, work in my husbands office on Fridays, and am about to start my last year of school to finish up my Bachelors Degree in Accounting. My first trip to Disney World was in 2003.
My DH, Davis. Showing off the spoils from the Star Wars Weekends merchandise store.
Hes 41 and stays busy with his security business and his toys. Sunday we will celebrate our 12th wedding anniversary. He went to Disney World for the first time with his parents and brother in 1986.
Our DD, Allison.
Allison is 11. Shes been going to Disney World since she was 3 years old. Her favorite thing to do while were in Disney World is to get ice cream at the Plaza Ice Cream Parlor on Main Street. (Thats one of mine, too!)
Our DS, Luke.
Luke is 9. His first trip to Disney World was also in 2003 when he was only 1 year, 5 months old. He says that his favorite thing to do are the Kim Possible missions.
Our trip dates were May 26 June 4. We left a couple days early (May 24) for more leisurely travel and actually left a couple days late (June 6). But well get to that part later.
Our original plans were to check in at the Boardwalk Villas (Studio) on Thursday, May 26 and check out on Sunday, May 29 in order to move over to the Beach Club Villas (One Bedroom) that day and stay until check-out on June 4.
Im glad to finally be starting this trip report, and hope you will enjoy reading about our adventures!
