Hello! This is my first trip report in YEARS!!!! I love reading everyone's and it always makes me a) Happy and b) gives me a little dose of Disney while I wait (and wait) for a trip. Plus, you never know when you are going to read something that will help you in the future. I just got back from a week long trip to the world. During that time, we did a bachelor party, celebrated the wedding of one of my best friends, AND I was able to be in the parks on my actual birthday for the first time in, well, ever I think. So, introductions and a few details to start.
That's me. Stacy. Long time Disney lover and park goer. I was an annual pass holder for years but let that go in 2021. I was in the process of searching for a new job at the time and wasn't sure where in the country I was going to end up so I gave up my pass. This was my first trip back to the House of Mouse since Thanksgiving of 2021. I am currently the Production Manager for the Theatre Program and the Head of the MFA stage management program at Virginia Tech. This trip was, unfortunately, during tech for our last show of the season. Thank goodness for an amazing and understanding Chair who took over my duties so I could go on this trip. My favorite princess is Belle (because books) but I am TRULY the Evil Queen from Snow White. Because why be a princess when you can be Queen?? Favorite park is Magic Kingdom. And I don't think I have a favorite ride. Because I love it all!!!
These are my 2 primary partners in crime at Disney. Scotty is on the left. It was his bachelor party and wedding. Lindsey is in the middle. These two are former students of mine from way back. We became close friends after they graduated and have done many, many Disney trips together. Scotty actually works at Disney World now so Lindsey and I take any excuse to travel down and see him. We can always guarantee that there will be laughter, lots of rides, cocktails, and some good food.
A few details before we get started:
- Trip dates: April 7-April 14
- Staying at Pop Century
- 5 day hopper ticket
- Dining reservations set at Terralina, City Works, Ogas, Crystal Palace (breakfast), Liberty Tree, and Steakhouse 71
Up first: Day Zero - The Drive Down
