It's guys like you, Mickey...My 1st PreTrip! 3/18-3/23

Your plans sound great! I always say the same thing, I love the indoor hallways of the deluxe resorts. The outdoor corridors just aren't the same! And your "bf's" too cute! Love it!

 

[AlohaPolynesian]

Looks like your going to have a great trip...your BF is super cute by the way

Hahaha thanks! I joke that he is my boyfriend because one time this guy would NOT leave me alone. So I told him I had a vicious boyfriend named Andy and he never spoke to me again. LOL. Glad I decided to give my dog a human name!!

The trip looks good so far! That stinks about your final!

Ugh, I know Oh well!!

This trip sounds like fun. BF so cute I love the drinks in that picture it looks delicious. Your plans look good. Sorry about AK and HS

Thanks!! PS I just got back from living in Houston for 4 months. The people down there are some of the nicest I've met in my life!

Hey there! Your PTR looks great so far! Our dates overlap a bit (We arrive on the 22nd! ) so I thought I would be nosy and come see what you've got going on. I love your title too, BTW!

All of your ADRs sound yummy! Especially Ohanas! I love it there!

You'll love AKL, especially if you like the Poly. AKL is so lush and exotic and gorgeous. Did you book just a standard view room or did you splurge for a savannah view?

Don't worry about the split stay, it's no big thing. Just remember that you might not have access to your bags until way later in the day. There have been times when we've went over to the other resort in the morning and got our room early, but our bags still didn't arrive until that evening. So anything you may need from them within a few hours, I would keep in my purse or backpack or whatever. And this may sound silly, but make sure you remember whose name you put the baggage under. My aunt once called down to get our luggage using her name, not realizing that my mom had given the guy her own name instead. It took them fifteen minutes of terrified searching before my aunt figured out what had happened. The CMs were so relieved!

Looking forward to hearing more and welcome to the world of PTRs!

Thanks for the advice!! Where are you staying? Actually I was about to go check out your PTR but I'm going to grab some Starbucks first, so I'm sure I will find out when I head over to your thread.

And I'm glad you like the title! I feel like some people don't get it, LOL!

Right?! I mean, if someone said outdoor corridors or no Disney - I'd obviously take the outdoor corridors LOL

True, true. We don't even stay onsite so for us it's offsite rental homes or no Disney and I run to those rental homes

I'm here. Waiting to hear more about your plans.

Food choices sound great! We stayed at AKL last trip and loved it! Have some zebra domes for me!!!! My next trip is in May and I can't wait.

Hey all! Some sad news to report. I was going to come on here and post some pictures of what I'm starting to pack for my trip. Sadly, I can't because I left my digital camera at home Or so I thought. I called my mom to have her send it to me so I could at least have it before I left, but she (THE master of finding anything and everything that has ever been lost, EVER) couldn't find it!

So, I'm thinking that when I cleaned out my room and threw away my old, old, old digital camera that didn't work anymore - I may have thrown away my new one? I don't know. I have NO IDEA where it could be. Now I have to go over to Best Buy and find a new camera...I'm so mad at myself!! Oh well. My little bro has been wanting a digi cam and hasn't gotten one, so I guess if my old one turns up he can have it. (I'm trying to make myself not feel guilty here!!)

Anyways, when I get back I'll post an update. In the meantime, have a great day!

 

[OhioDisneyLover]

I hate when stuff like that happens. You think you have something and it turns out that you don't and you have to get a new one. My stupid luck is that I end up finding the one I thought that I had lost.

Happy camera shopping.

 

[HeatherBelle614]

Hey, lady! Just found you and subbied!

Love your ADR plans! How fun to be taking a trip with your friend!

I hope you are able to post pics soon; can't wait to see them!

 

[tinkgurl]

Aw man...sorry about your camera problems!

Thank you! Glad to have you here! Now since I am avoiding doing some homework I think this would be THE perfect time to go over to your PTR! LOL!

Aw man...sorry about your camera problems!

Thanks girl

 

[Enchanted]

Oh wow, that stinks about not being able to find your camera. Hopefully it will turn up before you actually buy another one, but if not, I hope you find one you like. Happy shopping!

So a lot of people think it's crazy that I'm only going to WDW for a few days, and even crazier that I'm only doing two parks. Well, as I said before, my friend doesn't want to spend the whole time at Disney so this was a way to compromise.

We're still staying on-site during our "days off" but don't have any park plans. Until today...when I decided that Typhoon Lagoon sounded fun! Belle loves waterparks so we think that on our day off on the 21st we will be hitting up Blizzard Beach before our ADR at Raglan Road. We wanted to go to TL, but it's closed for refurb until the 22nd, so we missed it by ONE DAY! (And, um, NO - I'm not switching around my schedule just for a waterpark!!). Does anyone have any experience going to Blizzard Beach? I went when I was 12 and it was okay - I just got sunburned the day before so I kind of just sat there and hid from the sun with my mom. Let me know how it is or if you know of any good places to grab lunch and a tropical drink!

Now our first day off -3/20- was actually the main inspiration for the trip and how the whole thing got rolling. I have a friend whose husband plays for a Major League Baseball team and I always try to visit her at least once or twice a year. I also just interned for an AWESOME team in the fall, so I wanted to go to their spring training and see everyone I worked with. Well, during the offseason my friend's husband signed with the team I worked for! So I decided to take a trip down to Kissimmee where they train and kill two birds with one stone. And last time I checked, Kissimmee is pretty darn close to Disney so obviously it would be a good excuse to hit up my favorite place yet again!

So on the 20th we have an ADR for breakfast at the Wave. Neither of us have eaten here before but it sounds really neat. I've seen lots of reviews for dinner here but we wanted to try breakfast. It's going to be a long day and I'm sure the ballpark only offers a limited selection of snacks, so we're just going to fill up early! Have any of you tried breakfast at the Wave yet?

When we get back, we have a late (9:15PM) reservation for Ohana. This is my FAVORITE restaurant on property so I don't care that we won't be eating dinner until late!! We might try to check in early and have some drinks at the Tambu Lounge while we wait. Anyone have any success checking in early?

An on another note, Belle said to me last night - "OK, I just got really excited for that pineapple ice cream in the Magic Kingdom!" This got me really happy because I want her to be excited about Disney and I think we might be headed in the right direction!!

So we're officially at the 10 day mark! So much to do before we take off at 7:30PM next Wednesday but I'm glad I have Disney to look forward to! As always, thanks for reading and I hope to share some pictures of what I'm packing as soon as I go get my new camera!

*Next up, should I buy these shoes?

 

[AlohaPolynesian]

Oh wow, that stinks about not being able to find your camera. Hopefully it will turn up before you actually buy another one, but if not, I hope you find one you like. Happy shopping!

Thanks girlie!

 

[trinaweena]

Whoo ten days, you must be so excited! Thriteen for me, I'm hoping the weather warms up!

Sorry to hear about your camera! Hopefully your able to get a new one!

Sounds like you'll have fun on your non Disney days! I don't think I've ever been to BB so I can't give any advice!

 

[DiamondDiva305]

Hey girl I'm enjoying your report and im so jealous that you leave next week you are so pretty and i hope your friend really enjoys the trip I cant wait to hear about it

 

[tinkgurl]

Sorry girl, I don't have any experience at any of the water parks. But I can't wait to see how your packing is going since you leave soon! for you and for me!
