So I decided to try my hand a PTR.
That's me! My real name is Sophia and I'm 22 year old, will be turning 23 this coming September. I am a resident of Denver CO though I am actually a Californian by birth! I actually lived in about seven states and five countries growing up (Dad's an engineer). I am the resident Disney/theme park geek of my family (which admittedly is small, I'm an only child).
I've been to Disneyland more times than I can count growing up (yeah for having family who live in CA!). But only have to been Walt Disney World a handfull of times. In fact my trip this last January was my first trip there since before Test Track had opened but after Animal Kingdom had opened!
My favorite Disney park is Disney's Hollywood Studios which I still have a tendency to call MGM. Which is rather funny because when I went there as a kid it was my least favorite of the parks right next to Animal Kingdom (I found both rather dull at the time). My favorite ride is Space Mountain! And I really don't have a favorite Disney movie in particular though my favorite princess is a toss up between Tiana and Cinderella.
I run long distance for fun, and thats the main focus of this trip other than to celebrate my birthday. I will be running my eighth half marathon and for the first time I will be running with a partner.
My friend Sammy (who I do not have photos of yet, and need to ask before I post here) I met just last month actually when at the Family Fiesta 5k at WDW. We spent a good half hour talking before the race than split. I didn't think I would ever see again. I was wrong. You see I knew she was at WDW for vacation but I didn't know she was a Cali native. So fast forward two weeks to the night of the Neverland 5k. Somewhere in that first mile I here 'Hello again!'. I turn around and low and behold it was her. We spent the rest of the race chatting and ended up agreeing to race together in the Disneyland half that coming September in what would be her first half marathon! She lives about twenty minutes from the park so we are planning to spend the day before the race running the 5k and then chilling at Disneyland for the day and Pasta Feed. This will also be the first time I'm actually riding the rides with someone else in a few years (my Mom is not a theme park goer and tends to just turn me loose to do whatever when I'm in the park).
Also on this trip is my Mom who comes along to my races as a support person when she can. As mentioned prior she is not much of a theme park goer but loves parties Disney puts on for their races so she will be in the park using the Twilight Tickets that Disney provides for the Pasta Feed. There's a small, small chance my Dad may be there but most likely he will be in Saudi Arabia working on the project.
The trip itself should last maybe four - five days maybe shorter or longer depending on school. Leaving on Thursday and coming back either Sunday evening or Monday morning.
That's it for now I guess. Will post more details on Tuesday evening (why then? Calc test).
