So--here's my big introduction--

Hi, my name is Deva and I am 16--I live in Farmington, Michigan and am a Junior at Farmington High School. I adore disney-the first time I went was when I was 5 and I fell in love the first time I set foot at Magic Kingdom. I went the year after that, then again in 2004, in 2007 with band, and this year twice--June and right now--December 25th-January 4th Yes, I am starting my last trip report while i'm at the world...I have some downtime since I'm waiting in line for Expedition Everest and it's an 120 minute wait....yes...I have an iphone--I got it for christmas....ok then, here it goes

Here is a pic of me when I was 12--in 2004--this was the pic my mom took of me right before we headed out the door to go to the airport

This is my baby brother Cade--he's 10--this was the night before we left--excuse the red eye--I tried to fix it

Ok--So here it goes!!
Day 1 we left for disney at 11 AM on Sunday, June 16th...I forgot to post a pic of my grandparents so here they are--it's the only one I have uploaded right now--

Here's a pic of me right after I woke up--as you can tell I was uber excited...excuse the ****age--oh, and the date is wrong--my camera wasn't set up yet

After I woke up I got showered and dressed in my normal disney attire--my magic kingdom shirt and tinkerbell pants--I wanted something comfy for the plane ride

Then I proceded to go downstairs with everyone and we had bagels and cream cheese for breakfast. We didn't want anything heavy so that we could eat our mcdonalds lunch at the airport. We ate and then went upstairs and grabbed our luggage--here's mine:

After that, we all piled into the car and my parents said goodbye, and then off we went!! We got to the Detroit International Airport at around 10:45 AM..15 minutes early---which is a rare thing in my house...we're almost always late...After we checked in with Northwest Airlines, we got through security and then decided to eat lunch at mcdonalds

After our fulfilling lunch, we went and sat down at our gate, where I proceded to look through my binder of disney materials that have our ADRs, where we're staying, itineraries, and a bunch of other stuff.

Then I walked over to see if our plane was here--and much to my suprise--it was, but it wasn't just an ordinary plane---IT WAS A DISNEY PLANE!!!

After we got on the plane, we took off nice and smoothly and after a 2 hour flight, landed in Orlando!!!!! We got off the plane and immeadietly went over to the Disney Magical Express Line!!! It wasn't too bad of a line, maybe 20 people or so. It took us about 10 minutes to get on the bus, but it was well worth the wait. We had never taken the magical express before, we'd either rent a car or take a cab.

It took us about 45 minutes to get to "Disney" As soon as I saw this, It all kicked in--

Up Next: We Made It--and it's so pretty!!!

Where did you get your black and blue backpack... and what does PCW stand for.

That looks like an awesome backpack - even with water bottle spots.
