Part One- Introduction
Here we go again! Its time for another trip reports. After finishing my 10th last year, I seriously considered calling it quits. I mean, I had a good run and it was fun at all, but after 10 I wasnt sure if I could keep going. And yet after a month of waiting and debating after coming back from this trip, here I am back to start number 11. Of course, as always, you can expect to see some photos mixed in as well, and Ill be posting all parts of the report in one thread, just to make it easier on everyone. Before the report begins, I thought that Id give a peek into some of the plans for the trip.
Resort: Coronado Springs. It had been years since I had been here last, so I thought Id give it a try again. On all my last trips I had always stayed in the Casitas section, but I was hoping for something different this year.
Theme Parks: I ended up getting a three-day pass without a park hopper (great deal!). That however raises the problem for which park to skip. I couldnt skip Animal Kingdom since Everest was near the top of my to-do list. I wanted to try the Fantasmic Dinner Package again this year and spend lots of time at MGM Studios, so I couldnt skip it. In the end, Magic Kingdom ended up being the park to skip this time. My last trip was nothing but Magic Kingdom, so I figured if there was any I could skip, its that one.
Dining: The list of restaurants that Ive never tried is getting smaller and smaller as time goes by, but I found two to try- Holllywood and Vine at MGM and Raglan Road at Pleasure Island. Id heard some good things about both so heres hoping for some good meals!
Characters: As usual, Ill be on the look out for some new characters to take photos of. My main priorities would all (hopefully) be at MGM- Kim Possible, Ron Stoppable, and Clarice (you know, Chip and Dales crush, the nightclub singer). All three of them started appearing in the parks after my last trip, so this will be my first chance to see them. Hopefully therell be a few more out too that I never met yet.
Photos: Im doing another Scavenger Hunt! I tried this last year and it worked out great, so I decided to try again. Basically, I have around 40 or 50 words or phrases ranging from Attraction Sign to Villain to FastPass Machine. I randomly pick two out a day and take pictures of it. Of course, Ill post the pictures here in the report.
So, in short, thats the plan. Stay tuned for Day One.
