Introduction (1)
So. After devouring hundreds of pre-trip reports and trip reports over the past couple of months, I am attempting one of my own. Lets just say that I have been DREAMING of writing one for some time now and YES it is going to be long and YES it is going to be jammed with pictures .. but hey -- your the one who's still reading this so I guess your fine with it!
Warning: I have NEVER been to Disney world .. so to say that I am excited about this trip would be the understatement of a lifetime.
(Before I continue I mine as well introduce the cast!)
The Cast :
Me
- Blayne Alexandra Levin - (No, there will be no use of cutesy names because frankly I cannot think any characters that actually describe me or Todd!) I am 18 and a senior in highschool. I CANNOT wait to graduate! I have NEVER been to Disney 
and have always wanted to go. Lets just say I have become OBSESSED with the planning of this trip. Oh and I work at Joann Fabrics ( I HATE IT!) .. this will probably come into play!
Todd
- 22. What can I say about him? He's AMAZING. He is fully funding this trip as a kind of christmas/senior trip for me. He works for FedEx and likes ALL movies including Disney. Has been a trooper throughout my insane planning process and has basically said that I can plan everything and he does not mind! 
He has been to Disney once, about 15 years ago. He only went to MGM, MK and Epcot and can only remember two things - Space Mountain and Splash Mountain. So, basically we are pretending that he has NEVER been before.
The Story of Us
:
Now, if this seems a little too much about us and not enough about Disney - Im sorry.. its crucial so bare with me !
Todd and I have been together for over 3 years. I met him my freshman year in highschool when he was a senior and we have dated ever since. Im sure everyone remembers that dating for over 3 years in highschool is unheard of. Needless to say, our relationship is a bit of a novelty to my fellow students at school! 
(Please hold judgements on the next part) - Todd never had the best home life so when I was a sophmore he moved in. We live with my parents, my sister, and our dog. We are one HAPPY family. My parents and Todd are extremely close and he considers them his parents. All of my friends joke that we are "married", but basically we are. He is an amazing person and treats me like a queen. I wouldnt settle for anything less
This is us:
(Probable) Guest appearances:
My Mom and Dad - Probably the coolest parents ever. Have always treated me as an equal and let me make my own choices. My Dad even put the whole trip on his credit card and allowed Todd to pay it off in installments
Gotta love that platinum credit! Also bought me and Todd 5th row center seats to Cirque du Soleil for our trip!!.. lets see my Mom has been to Disney once and Disneyland twice. She is completely vacation phobic (more on that later) and my father had NEVER been to Disney and went for the first time in October and fell completely and utterly in love, so he was completely supportive of our trip and even wanted to come with us! 
Krull - yes this is my dog. He is my LOVE. Todd bought him for me on our 2nd valentines day. He is 2, a chihuahua and his full name is Krull the Warrior King! He is my life and probably the only one i'll miss while Im gone!
This is him :
Now you can see why I love him so much!
The Story:
My whole life my father wanted to go to Disney. He always wanted to take my sister and I and also wanted to experience it himself because he had never been. However, my mother has been to Disney and Disneyland and never really felt the need to go. She is a fun person, she is just not really into vacations. Point blank, she DOES NOT like to relax. She likes to constantly be doing something. Your probably saying, "well then disney would be perfect for her" but trust me, it wouldnt. She is just not into it. I just dont get it. Needless to say, my mom doesnt see what all my hype about this trip is and my dad cannot wait for me to go and experience it. This is probably a good time to let everyone know that I have never been ANYWHERE. There i've said it. I am VACATION DEPRIVED! 
I live in Massachusetts and have only ever ventured to NH (STORYLAND is about as close as i've come to a "disney vacation" .. sad.. i know!) , Maine, and once I went to Rhode Island. I also went to Philadelphia for a 3day class trip in 8th grade. So I have NEVER been on an airplane. This is why I have taking the planning to a "DIS LEVEL"! Todd and I have been trying to plan a trip to Disney since we first started dating, but because of our ages at the time the money was just not there. In November thanks to Todd's new job, I started getting ideas for a trip. He was completely supportive of it and even announced that he would pay for it and I could plan it. THATS WHAT WE LIKE TO HEAR RIGHT! So it is to be my semi christmas/senior trip! YAY! Right away I bought three disney books and the passporter. Mostly I have become attached to my passporter ! In November we booked a fantastic 11 day trip through AAA. This about the time when my friend Nicole from school introduced me to the Disboards. And the obsession got worse! I am now on here 24/7 and plan on doing a trip report as well as a dining report! .. enough babbling .. here is the trip plans!

Thanks again for the comment .. keep reading!
I was so glad when I popped into the pre-trip board and saw your TR!!!!! WooHoo!!! 
! And can I just tell you how excited I am to be there on Valentines Day?! That wasn't even planned at first, it just kind of happened! Cirque I am SUPER excited about! .. hmm can you tell that im just a little bit excited for everything! 
HELP!)
My DBF and I are going to be spending our 5 year anniversary over the summer at the world, so i understand your excitement!!! Everything in your itinerary looks good, but I wouldnt be the greatest person to ask because ive never stayed on property 
I loved your blabbing (its exactly what I do!) Thanks for all the feedback.. keep reading!! 
Loving your Pretrippie report. I did notice one thing in particular. You will be landing in Orlando at 10:17 a.m. You will be landing back in "reality" at 10:18. (I think that is PM, though, isn't it?) For some reason that struck me as funny. (I need to get out more, I know.)
