Hi! 
My name's Lianna, I'm seventeen years old and I live in Canada. I guess I'll tell you all a bit about myself and then get on with the actual TR. I'm very friendly and I love meeting new people! I may be shy at first, but once you get to know me, I'm REALLY weird 
I love editing, drawing, gymnastics, The Hunger Games, but most importantly...DISNEY
Who doesn't? I've been a Disney fan for a very long time. Unfortunately, my first and only trip to Disney World for many years was when I was about a year old, so I barely remember anything. Ever since then, I always dreamed of going back. I'd sit down daily and watch my Disneyland Sing Along video as well as all of my Disney VHS's and just pretend I was there. I'd even beg my sister to play "Disney World" with me, but she wasn't very interested. My cousins, who went every year, would always tell me about the fun memories and things they did there and I just HAD to go. I begged my mom ALL THE TIME, but we just couldn't afford it at the time because my sister and I were going to a private school. Eventually we both transfered to a public (and free
) school, and we started saving up! After my fourteen years of begging and waiting to go, we finally booked a vacation to Florida! December of 2010 was my second trip there and I was SO excited. It just made me even more into Disney (I thought that wouldn't be possible because I was already so obsessed 
). That trip was great, I went with my mom, sister and cousins and we had a blast! Even though we didn't stay in a Disney resort and only visited the Magic Kingdom and Downtown Disney, I just couldn't wait to go back! We had a condo rented out for two weeks in St Petersburg, so we had to drive almost two hours to get to Orlando, which is why we didn't spend much time in Disney. Our trip was mainly for shopping and to be at the beach (which was still great! I just would have loved if we squeezed in some more Disney into it ).
Here's a picture of our whole group in front of the Magic Kingdom:
Left to right: Samantha aka Sammy (cousin), Rebecca (my sister), my mom, me, and Jessie aka Jessica (cousin). Unfortunately my other cousin Ari (aka Ariella...They all have nicknames!) didn't get to come. Hopefully next time! All of my cousins are big Disney fans like me!
March 2012 was my next trip to Disney World, and the one I will be doing my TR on. This time, we stayed in Orlando, but still no Disney resort
I really wanted to stay at the POP Century resort because it was more affordable, but not enough for us. On the plus side, our hotel was only a mile away! This trip we decided to visit EPCOT and Disney's Hollywood Studios. I really wanted to go to all four parks but it was just way out of our budget.
Before I give away the whole vacation in my little intro up there, let's just start with the actual Trip Report!
*Also, please note that while we were there, I didn't think I would be making a TR when I got back, so I didn't take pictures of every little thing we did. I'll try my best to remember everything though!
This trip includes me, mom, and my sister. Here we are in Epcot! Sorry for the horrible quality.
Order from left to right: Rebecca (my sister), my mom, and me.
Okay, let's start...
Day 1: Arriving to Orlando!
Our flight was at 8:30AM, so at around 4 we were up and getting ready to leave! Our taxi came at 5 and we were on our way to the airport!
We had three flights that day. Yes, THREE.
And we're not so far from Florida! One direct flight there would be about 3 and a half-4 hours. We'd do anything for a good deal
Our first stop was NYC. Here's me next to some sign.
We then stopped off in Miami (I have NO clue why they'd bring us to Miami to just fly back to Orlando...Makes no sense to me) and by then it was about 2. Our flight was for 4 so we just walked around and ate.
I didn't take any pictures or anything because I was just really anxious to get to Orlando!
We eventually landed in Orlando, got our luggage and then got our rental car. I saw all of these signs for the Magical Express and I was just dying to make a run for it and hop on...But that wouldn't have worked out.
We got to our hotel and this was the first thing we saw...
I was all excited because even if it isn't a Disney resort, it still had some Disney magic in it
Lobby:
We got our key for our room, looked around for a bit, and eventually went out to eat somewhere. By then it was around 9 so we went down to the pool and sat down at one of their tables and planned out what we'd do for the upcoming week. I was just a few days away from reuniting with my best friend, Walt Disney World!
