Welcome one and all to what will by my 11th trip to WDW! For those of you who are new and dont know me yet, my name is Ariana and I just turned 40 in August. Heres my favorite Photo Pass picture from my solo trip last March.
I wrote a TR for that trip. If you are interested in reading it, the link is in my signature along with one from November 2012 with my Mom.
Joining me on this trip will be my non-Disney loving husband, Jim. Here he is with his baby Sierra:
The last time he was at WDW was for our honeymoon 15 years ago. I am dragging him on this trip for two reasons, to celebrate my 40th birthday a few months late and also our 15th anniversary. Im looking forward to getting some good pictures of the two of us with Photo Pass. The last picture I have of us together was taken in 2011 at the beach. We were there on a family trip and had formal pictures done. Unfortunately it rained during the photo shoot as you can probably tell by my hair.
We dont have kids, just our furry butts as we tend to call them. Besides Sierra who is 3 years old:
We have Alex, 7 years old:
And Eddie, 12 years old:
Here they are all dressed up for Christmas:
So, lets talk about favorites. Mine are mostly copied from my last TR so if youve read that you can probably skip.
1. Favorite Character: Pluto, Pluto and Pluto! I have loved Pluto since before I can actually remember. I have an entire room in my house dedicated to him.
2. Favorite Park: Magic Kingdom all the way. I could sit down on a park bench on Main Street and never move for the rest of my life. Well, I might have to go visit some rides and shows once in a while.
3. Favorite Ride: I am a ride lover at heart. Id rather be on a ride at Disney than any other place. Im not much into character greets or parades. Pirates of the Caribbean, Soarin, Expedition Everest, and Toy Story Mania are probably my favorite at each park. But it tends to change.
4. Favorite Restaurant: A tie between Coral Reef and Rose & Crown Pub. Be Our Guest has now been added to the mix.
5. Favorite Disney Movie: This one is hard for me as I love pretty much all of the Disney Movies. If forced to pick one, I would say Lion King but I love all of the ones from that era, Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin and Lion King.
Jims Favorites (these are going to be mostly guesses on my part):
1. Favorite Character: Donald Duck. He also likes Ariel, Kida (bonus points to anyone who can name that movie without looking it up) and Remy from Ratatouille.
2. Favorite Park: No idea. Since he is not much of a Disney fan, Im not sure he really loves any of the parks.
3. Favorite Ride: If I asked him, he would probably say the Hall of Presidents. He is not a thrill ride junky like me so Im not sure what I will get him on this trip. Definitely not TOT and I think hes going to take one look at EE and run the other way.
4. Favorite Restaurant: He only had one restaurant from our Honeymoon that he remembers and wants to eat at again. That was 50s Prime Time. So I guess thats his favorite for purposes of this TR.
5. Favorite Disney Movie: Ratatouille. Not sure why he loves it so much but he watched it three times when I was home visiting my Mom in July.
Up Next: Flashback!
