Have you ever been sitting at home wishing you were at Walt Disney World instead? Have you ever wished that you could just run away to Disney for a few days? Well my friends, that is exactly what I did! Does this sound like insanity to you or just plain fun? Are you wondering how we could possibly have a good time booking such a last minute trip? What about the fastpasses?! What about the ADR's?! What about the long deliberated over touring plans?!
If you are curious how this spur of the moment impulse ended up then this report is for you!
Some of you may already know me from my previous trip reports here on the Disboards, my last one was finished a few months ago detailing our week and half stay at Animal Kingdom Lodge. Links to my previous reports can be found in my signature if you are interested. This trip was a very different creature. All my previous trips were planned out months in advance with the usual deliberations over fastpasses, ADR's and park schedules to make just the right itinerary. This trip was booked 1 1/2 days before we arrived so there was no prolonged debating and planning over trip details and itineraries. It was much more of a fly by the seat of your pants kind of a trip. We definitely found out if it was possible to still have a good time at WDW without all of the advanced planning that we are all so used to.
Introductions:
My name is Lessa and I am the main Disney trip planner in my family. We all love Disney but in my family I am definitely the most in love with the parks and all things Disney. I work as an RN and I love my job but I also love my vacation time whether it is at WDW or elsewhere. If I lived closer to WDW I would definitely be the proud holder of an AP. I am not usually a spontaneous person in any aspect of life but definitely not when travelling; I love researching and organizing trips well in advance. This trip was a real departure from the norm for me.
Favourite Park: Magic Kingdom/Animal Kingdom
Favourite Ride: Flight of Passage
Favourite Character: Belle
Favourite Resort: Animal Kingdom Lodge
Favourite Restaurant: Via Napoli
My partner in crime on this spontaneous trip was my mom, Beth. She is my usual Disney travel buddy and loves the parks almost as much as I do. She enjoys her Disney trips and the only thing that would make her happier on these trips is if my brothers also joined us. Alas, my brothers are not as keen on visiting WDW as often as we are. They still love Disney but they prefer to only go every few years to keep things fresh and so that there is more new stuff to experience on each visit.
Favourite Park: Animal Kingdom
Favourite Ride: PeopleMover

Stay tuned to find out how exactly this crazy trip came about and how exactly we fared on our spontaneous last-minute trip to WDW!
