Greetings All!
Ive just recently discovered the DISboards and after reading several fabulous trip/planning reports I was thinking itd be fun to have one myself. I mean, even if nobody reads it, Ill have it for myself! This is my very first post so please be kind.
The Cast:
BethAnne-
thats me. My first trip to Disney was in 1996 with my family, it wasnt a great experience overall, my family just isnt into Disney (unbelievable isnt it?). In 2002 I discovered the WDW College Program. I lived at Disney for 7 months working Custodial at the Magic Kingdom. Yes thats right, I cleaned the bathrooms, swept up the park, and dumped trash for 7 glorious months! It was a character building experience to say the least, and am now a self professed Disney fanatic! Currently, I am a cube dweller, typing aimlessly for 40 hours a week dreaming about the next time I am in Disney! Enough about me
.
Bill-
boyfriend of almost a year and a half. Hes only been to Disney once and it was in 1983
.needless to say he doesnt remember anything about Disney and I think at this point is generally fearing for his life/sanity regarding our upcoming trip. (Im a little anxious and have a tendency to squeal and flail about uncontrollably in moments of extreme excitement)
How the trip came to be:
We actually booked this trip back in January. If youre doing the math, that would indicat that we had only been dating a few months at this point. It seems crazy that we would have booked a trip over 300 days into the future after only dating a few months but I guess its true that you just know when its right. So basically, this has been the longest countdown EVER .at some times unbearable, but mostly life just kept me busy and the time flew! I cant believe that in 2 days, 20 hours, 22 minutes and 20 seconds my flight will be taking off and well finally be on our way. This is turning out to be the longest week of my life!!! Anyways, so Ive been counting down for quite awhile. Actually back in February I made one of those paper chains you know where you take a link off everyday. At that time, it wrapped all the way around my living room, and now its just a few tiny links away. I was actually pretty surprised that Bill was so gung-ho about this trip back in January my first sign that he was the one I suppose
I mean if he was willing to spend 10 days in Disney World with a crazy Disney fan then he must be worth keeping.
Check back for more details later!

The bus is really nice, and your luggage will arrive a few hours after you do!
I wont lie I have an Excel file for all of my Disney info. It has itineraries, park hours, time schedules, packing lists, restaurant lists and descriptions, etc. Bill thinks Im crazy and makes fun of me for it, but I think deep down he admires that Im so prepared. In fact, if he werent going with, I would probably have every minute of every day planned. But I know thats not really his style so Im planning on just going with the flow
well mostly going with the flow. In reality, I have a skeleton of a plan for every day 
So the plan for today, take my sister to the store, show her around town, get some pizza, finish packing, make sure we have all the necessary electronic equipment, and go to bed early!
