Welcome! Bienvenue! Willkommen! Benvenuto!
So this is my second attempt at a trip report...both "pre" and "post". My first try was back on a family vacation in August 2008. Well, family health issues, life in general and laziness got in the way of the trip itself and writing a report. I am taking another trip to Disney in November and decided after reading so many wonderful TRs on here, I HAD to write one. I have been on two trips since August '08 and each time I say, "This time I am gonna write one" and of course I never do. Now is the time, "Carpe Diem!"
Enough of my excuses and blah, blah, blah....on to the Pre-Trip Report.....
Any good story has the 5 "W"s: Who, What, Where, Why & When
The Who:
Me, Katie (25)
And my cousins, Chrissy (23) & Kelly (21) (they're sisters)
What: A vacation to Disney World!
Where: We will be staying at Pop Century Resort
Why: Chrissy, Kelly & I visited Walt Disney World last year in November for Super Soap Weekend and we LOVED it. They were just starting to decorate for the holidays and the place had such a wonderful, magical feel. We decided that we should make it an annual trip.
This is from November 2008
and finally,
When: We will be there from November 13 through November 18. 5 nights, 6 days!!
Right now we have 37 days until we leave for our trip. We only just booked everything at about the 50 day mark. I always check out all the different websites for good deals and promotions. For this trip I came across the free dining plan. That was perfect! I mean, we LOVE FOOD and we especially love FREE FOOD! The quick service dining plan will be just right for us. We don't usually do table service so we really wouldn't need it. Plus I must admit, any table service I have eaten at, I was never really that impressed. I know, I'm sounding a little snobby, maybe I just haven't tried the right places. I am always open to suggestions!
In the upcoming days before our trip we still have to purchase our Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party tickets and finalize our exact schedule for what we will be doing each day. Other than that, everything else is taken care of. We will be flying down on Jet Blue, we have a reserveration for 5 nights at Pop and we have 3 Day Basic Park Pass (we might extend this to a 4 day, depending on what we decide to do each day).
Well that's the start of this exciting journey. Hope you come along for the ride!
