Hey y’all! My name is Samantha! I’m a 30 year old nurse practitioner from Memphis, TN. My husband Colin and I are both huge Disney fans! 
I used to live in Bradenton, FL when I was elementary school age (about 2 hours from Disney) We would go pretty frequently for long weekend trips as a family and obviously I have a love for Disney! After moving to Memphis we didn’t go as often. Back in 2017, my husband and I took an amazing 10 day trip the week after Thanksgiving and that re-sparked my love for Disney! (Shout out to the pre-pandemic days
)
We had a DREAM trip planned for April of 2020! We were going to be renting points at AKL club level for 2 nights and then moving to beach club villas for 6 nights. Then covid happened. For a while I was concerned all my money was going to be lost since we used DVC rental companies (we actually rented from 2 different companies for that trip just because of availability.) Long story short we basically had credits to use but didn’t know when we’re going to be able to go back!
My poor cousin was supposed to get married this December but that got cancelled due to the covid numbers going up across the country. So basically I had Friday already off work and started begging Colin that we should go to Disney. Based off my credits from the DVC rental companies, I was able to find a dedicated reservation for rent Dec 10-13 at a preferred room at Saratoga Springs. My begging and persistence paid off and we booked that reservation about 2 weeks before the trip!!
I couldn’t believe I was FINALLY going to get to go!
