Welcome everyone to my latest trip report! Thank you all for joining along in the fun!
This trip was a shorter one for us, I flew down on Tuesday June 3rd, and my mom came to join me on June 4th. We both headed home on Sunday June 8th.
This was also a split stay, at least for me. That first night I was there by myself I stayed at Coronado Springs Resort in a tower club level room. Then I moved over to the Wilderness Lodge to meet my mom where we were also staying club level. We made a goal to check out every club level on Disney property, so have slowly been making our way through the list!
Now, as you may have guessed from the title of this TR, this trip was to celebrate my birthday at Disney! Being at Disney was definitely a birthday wish, but that is not the wish the title of this TR is referring to. Some of you may be thinking that this wish was to finally get Disco on Guardians since it’s been years, probably well over 50 rides, yet Disco keeps evading me, but nope, that wasn’t the wish either, BUT this wish does involve Guardians! Now I’m going to be mean and leave you hanging about this wish, but we’ll get that soon!
Being a trip to celebrate me (the best kind of trips in my opinion) we added some fun extra events such as Celebration at the Top, Hoop Dee Doo, and a big birthday dinner at Capa. We’ll get into the details on those later, but I will say now that we LOVED them all!
Now for introductions, as noted earlier, this trip was just me and my mom! Here is my mom, Carol.
She is a great travel buddy, we generally love the same things, and of course both love Disney. We do have different schedules, she’s an early riser and I’m more of a night owl, but since Disney kind of makes you be both, this works for us!
Next up is me! I’m Debbie and I’ll be your narrator extraordinaire for this trip report!
I’ve been lucky to have been going to Disney since I was a little kid, although I didn’t really fall in love with it until my pre-teen/teen years when I really got into the hidden details and appreciating the theming more. I totally credit Disney for becoming an engineer!
Alright, I think that's enough of introductions. I hope you all enjoy this trip report, now on with the show!

, thanks for following along!
…it was mostly empty for souvenirs), I brought it over to the bag drop, then made my way downstairs to security. On the way I ended up walking past an NBC news crew filming Tom Costello for the Today show, so if you were watching that on June 3rd you may have seen me in the background! It's funny, I always see on various news on TV they're filming at DCA, but this is the first time I've actually seen them in person there! 
I told him I was trying to but it was hard to keep up with him! He offered me a lift, but by that point we were almost at the escalators, so I declined.
