Hello everyone! This is my very first Trip Report! *Waves*
I have really enjoyed reading everyone else's TR's and I am so excited to start my own! My husband and I were in WDW from 1/21/12-1/29/12.
Let's do some introductions!
Me: My name is Nicole, I am 26 years old and I am a librarian at a public library. Obviously, I LOVE reading and all things Disney. I am also a huge Harry Potter fan. I tend to have almost as much fun planning our Disney trips as I do actually taking them!
NICOLE'S FAVORITES
MOVIES: Beauty & the Beast, The Little Mermaid, and Tangled
CHARACTERS: Belle, Rapunzel, Stitch, Eeyore, Jack Sparrow, Buzz
SONGS: When Will My Life Begin?, If I Never Knew You, Goin Down the Bayou, Be Our Guest, A Whole New World
PARK: Magic Kingdom, Epcot
RIDES: Big Thunder Mtn RR, Haunted Mansion, POTC, Peter Pan's Flight, Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin, Toy Story Midway Mania, Soarin'
SHOWS: Finding Nemo: The Musical, Beauty & the Beast, Voyage of the Little Mermaid, One Man's Dream movie
FOOD: taco salad from Pecos Bill's, Yak & Yeti CS, Mickey Mouse bars
My hubby: Chris, celebrated his 27th birthday on the first day of our trip! He is a grocery manager at Kroger. He is a huge Star Wars fan, but I have converted him to a Disney lover as well. He is very funny and laid back; he is good for me and lightens me up when I get too "Type A" haha.
CHRIS'S FAVORITES:
MOVIES: Bug's Life, Swiss Family Robinson, STAR WARS
CHARACTERS: Heimlich, R2D2
PARK: Hollywood Studios
RIDES: Star Tours, Big Thunder Mtn RR, Great Movie Ride, People Mover, Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin
FOOD: breakfast at Main Street Bakery, taco salad from Pecos Bill's
This was our 4th trip to WDW together! We went once in 2005 with my family, for our honeymoon in November 2009, and for my birthday and our 1st anniversary in November 2010.
I grew up going to Disney World every few years with my family (and we always drove!) but Chris's first time was with us in 2005. I have been about 9 times. We usually don't stay on property. We LOVE the Floridays Resort but it was a little too expensive this time, so we went with a similar resort The Polynesian Isles (SPM Resorts...not to be confused with Disney's Polynesian).
First "real" update coming up next! Thanks for joining us on our journey!
