No problem, will move you over and have a great trip.
OhMari

Thank you Thank you!

This will be my final update until my return on Monday! I'm very excited. Did I mention that? Not only do I get to go to WDW but I get to spend time with a good friend that I haven't seen in 2 years!

No changes in the itinerary have been made since we aren't really following a specific itinerary but I'll post what I know:

Thursday May 17:
Amanda arrives at POP around 1pm and I start my drive around 4pm, after school.
Upon my arrival we will head out to Publix to get some snacks and drinks, then head back to POP.
Then we're heading to PI!

Friday May 18:
This morning we'll do one of the parks and then head over to Epcot. Amanda's friend will be joining us here. We have lunch ADRs at Mexico for 3pm. Then we'll drink around the world, watch Illuminations and stay for EMH

Saturday May 19:
Again, we'll do one of the parks today and then tonight we will be seeing this:

at the House of Blues as part of her comeback tour. But she will actually look much more scary, like this:

I wonder what color wig she'll be wearing
Anyway, I was a small fan back in the day.
I may have learned one of her dance routines after watching a video too many times, which led me to win "Best Dancing" in my dorm's karaoke contest This, of course, turned into a huge inside joke among my friends. One afternoon I came home to find my wall completely covered with Britney pictures - top to bottom. I totally wasn't that big of a fan, but when I told Amanda she was coming she said "we can't not go!" so I got tickets. Truthfully I am pretty excited about it. But she's a total train wreck now. It's sad really. Moving on...

After the show, we might go offsite to a club downtown, maybe Howl at the Moon. Maybe PI again. Not really sure.

Sunday May 20:
Again, another park during the day and then we'll be hitting the House of Blues tonight. It's CM night and ladies night.

Monday May 21:
We're going home I'm not exactly sure when Amanda is leaving but I think Magical Express is picking her up late morning or early afternoon. I'll probably leave by noon just because I have lots to do for next week that I will no way get all done by tonight.

I just want to say that I feel like I've talked about clubbing and going out a lot in this Pre-TR, and I don't want those of you reading to get the wrong idea about me or the kind of trip and TR this will be. Will we be going to bars or clubs? Yes. Will there be talk of the adventures we have at said clubs and bars? Yes. But there will also be lots of Disney fun! After all, we're former CM ourselves so Disney is our first love. Which is why we are both meeting at Disney World and not somewhere else! Plus I never go out at home. Never. Can't even remember the last time actually. It's sort of sad really. But that is why I'm going to be living it up while I'm there. Gotta fit it all in you know?

I'm really looking forward to this trip and hope it will be a blast!

So that's my final update. I'll post Monday when I get back just to say hello but it may or may not be a few days before I can actually post a report!

Thanks to those of you reading and especially to those who make comments. I really appreciate them!

"See" you all Monday!

have a great time, shannon!!!!! oh, by the way, are you bringing earplugs for the britney spears performance??? sorry....that was mean. i couldn't help myself. my DH always says he likes to watch her with the volume on mute. but lately even that's become scary!

 

[belle8306]

Have fun!! I can't wait to hear all about it!

Oh I'm definitely not expecting a quality performance It's more that mentality that everyone slows down to watch an accident scene...know what I mean? The shows only like 15 or 20 minutes anyway so it doesn't even take up much of our evening. It will definitely make for a good story in my TR I'm sure of it!

Thanks! I plan on it

You're trip is coming up soon too!

I know I am looking forward to finding out what happens!!

i agree with you 100 percent! i'd totally be there just so i could say that i saw it. i would definitely think about having the earplugs with you as an option, though!

HAVE FUN, SHANNON!!!

I've subscribed to your other pre-trip but not this one! What kind of a crappy friend am I??? I'll have time to catch up while you're gone.

I hope you have a wonderful time with your friend!

Hi Melinda! Thats ok for not stopping by earlier. It was getting a little confusing with the other one going at the same time.

 

[UtahMama]

Am I too late? A day late and a dollar short, whatever that means?

I can't wait to hear all about it!

Have FUN!!!!!! < you dancing through the Pop Century Resort.

DONT tell your friend about this little ditty in case she ticks you off, it makes better reading if she has moments of rudeness or selfishness

 

[Wonders10]

Hi everyone! I'm back from my trip. I'll try to get the first installment up in the next couple days. I'm swamped with school work and all I want to do is nap.

Stay tuned...it was interesting!

 

[punkin413]

WELCOME HOME!!!! hope you had a great time! if you're anything like me, now you need a vacation from your vacation!

How could I NOT subscribe to a trip report with the word "Cocktails" in it!!

 

[DisneyJo]

Welcome home Shannon, can't wait to hear all about it

 

[lamagique]

Hey welcome home! I am so excited about your TR, but get your school work done! I can't wait to hear about the concert with Trainwreck Spears. Haha. I used to be a small fan too... and I won a karaoke contest by singing a little BOMT... so we have that in common (as well as being old CPers). Can't wait to hear about your trip and any sketchy experiences you may have had at PI... (How old are you, BTW... if you don't mind me asking?)

 

[Marjol]

Welcome back!

I just read your entire pre-trip report and ofcourse I have to read a trip report that is "interesting", like you said

Can't wait!

 

[belle8306]

Welcome Back!!

 

[DisneyGuy77]

I hope you had a fabulous time! You weren’t at epcot on Sunday, were you? Some friends and I took a last minute trip there. I can’t wait to read your TR.

 

[Wonders10]

WELCOME HOME!!!! hope you had a great time! if you're anything like me, now you need a vacation from your vacation!

I definitely could use another vacation! It would have been nice to have a day in between instead of having to jump right back into everything!

How could I NOT subscribe to a trip report with the word "Cocktails" in it!!

Oh there were cocktails alright...although the frequency seemed to dissipate as the trip went on

Welcome home Shannon, can't wait to hear all about it

Thanks...it's coming soon!

I think I'm finally caught up with school although I still have the usual amount of work (still a ton). But not so much that I can't start working on this thing.

Ahhh Britney. What do I say about her...guess you'll just have to wait.

PI was definitely fun (what I remember anyway ). BTW I'm 26...will be 27 on Saturday actually!

Welcome back!

Nope no Epcot for me on Sunday...hope you all had fun though!
