Good morning! Hello! Welcome!

I'm so happy you're here to read all about my solo adventures to the wonderful world of Disney!!

If you are an old friend, thanks for coming back! If you're a new friend, I'm so excited to meet you!!

For anyone who would like to read how this trip came about, you can find my pre-trip report HERE and my other TRs/PTRs can be found in my signature

Let's get down to business, shall we??

I will start with the basics...

Who: Me! S, a 30 something mom of two (X - 13, L - 11) and wife to M. PTO officer, over-doer, stresser outer.



What: A solo trip to WDW!! This was supposed to be a trip with my mother-in-law, but she changed her mind about going. I wasn't going to let that stop me!

When: April 30 - May 6

Where: My first stay at Animal Kingdom Lodge

This trip was so different from our usual family vacations, as I'm sure you can imagine. I carefully planned my days, but I seldom followed through with any of those plans!

Luckily, NOT following all those plans worked out incredibly well for me...most of the time!

I can't wait to share my adventures with you! From scoring fast passes and dining reservations last minute to a ride evacuation, there's LOTS to tell you!

Stick around and join in the fun!!
