Hi 
!
Thanks for being my guinea pig and visiting my very 1st TR of our very 1st trip to DL!
Let me start with the usual introduction of characters:
Me: PoohNFriends, 30 yo, been to WDW 4 times. Loved Mickey when I was younger, grew out of it, became a fan of Pooh 'n' Friends again in high school. Pooh 'n' Friends are still my favorite characters, but I still have a heart for Mickey and Minnie is now growing on me!
DBF: PoohNFriends boyfriend of 9 years, 32 yo, been to WDW 3 times, had never been anywhere in California until out DL trip. Loves Disney too, but doesn't gush about it like me.
Technically, we are BF/GF because we are not engaged or married, but you could call us Happily Unmarrieds (true title I 1st read about it in Time magazine, but obviously not a common title). We met in college 11 years ago and been together for 9. We own a house in IL and DVC points at AKV and VGC. No kids, but we over spoil our cat - she definitely has a case of only child syndrome (also a true term, not sure where I 1st heard this). Unfortunately, she is not a service cat so she had to stay home.
I know this won't get too many on board, but I have to return to work tomorrow after having 2 weeks off so I should try to put myself into some routine and get to bed. Be back as soon as I can to start the actual trip.

! It was about 2pm and our room wasn't ready yet so we just hung around in the lobby area. It's large with alot of places to sit and is relatively peaceful and warm, especially compared to most hotel lobbies. It got close to 4:30 and I hadn't received the room text yet so decided to check at the desk - room was in fact ready. I did receive a room text, but it had to have been sent shortly after checking on the room status.

. But we still made it to the ticket booths just before 8am. I had bought 5-day PH's and 2 meal vouchers thru LMT. Apparently the person we went to was not familiar with turning the LMT reservation info into tickets. I thought this was a fairly common thing they dealt with at the tickets booths 
, but it took 3 people and 20-25 minutes to complete the process. Oh well, we were still heading into DL before the others who had to wait until 9a, now that is power!
? Anyways we head into Fantasyland and our very 1st ride at DL is?
I am so jealous that you were able to stay on property. The hotel is so beautiful! I still have 392 days until we get to go (not that I'm counting or anything 
everybody!!

! (I went on a really short trip to WDW in '95 and don't remember if I rode the famous Mr. Toad then so this may have been the very 1st time I rode the Wild Ride).
