I am also posting this on WDWMagic. Just not sure of how many people are on one, the other, or both :goodvibes

Hello everyone and greetings from Connecticut! This will be my very first PTR. My best friend and I are heading down to WDW March 24-29. We are both super excited for it. Back when I got home from taking my parents to WDW in October, I saw free dining for the spring. I knew I had to take advantage of it! What better time to head to WDW than for my BFFL's birthday?! The special thing about this trip is that we are driving down. It will be my first official road trip (other than Cape Cod and PA).

Our plan is to leave Thursday 3/22, after we are both out of work. Hopefully, we will be on the road between 5:00p -6:30p. That night, we will just drive till we cannot anymore! The goal is to make it to Richmond, VA at the least. I have done some research and found a newly renovated Red Roof Inn there. I will probably be running on no sleep! But, that's okay. The following day, we will make it to Florida. There are quite a few RRI's near WDW. I'll also be keeping my eye on Groupon for any possible discounts!

On our last day at WDW, we will spend a half day in MK. Now, the thing is, my best friend may have an interview at the Tampa office of the insurance company he works for. If he gets to job, it will end up being a very nice promotion. If he gets an interview, we will be heading to Tampa thursday night. Friday after his interview, we will head to Savannah or Myrtle Beach. Then Atlantic City, then home! We both took off Monday 4/2 as a recouperating day. If I need to, I'll take off the 3rd as well! Shh :littleangel:

Here's me, Liz, enjoying my 23rd birthday at CP:
