Hi everyone! My name is Andrea aka AAshleySEG. This is going to be my very first TR. Why, you may ask, have I not done one before? Well, the truth of the matter is that I never really thought about it. I have read other TR's before and found them very helpful to me when planning trips. I have also been on numerous Disney vacations. It seems only natural that I should have done one already, well I haven't. I guess I never really wanted to put the time necessary into making a really good one, and I didn't want mine to fall short. So this time, I am planning early, getting everything together, and going step by step, so my TR will be as complete as possible!
To start out with I am going to tell you a little about myself! I am 27 years old and am of course am in love with everything Disney! I am married to my amazingly wonderful husband Jeremy (30). Pictured below, this was 2 weeks before our wedding on June 16th 2007.
I have been to WDW numerous times, beginning with a trip in 1990 when I was 6 years old, from which the ONLY thing I remember is waiting in line to ride 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea, and then being too scared to get on it. I have no idea why that is what memory lives on...but it is, most likely because I cannot ever ride that particular attraction again. The second time I went to Disney was definitely more meaningful. I had Leukemia when I was 11 years old and was fortunate enough to be able to go on a Make-A-Wish trip to WDW in 1997. I have so many wonderful memories from that trip that I will cherish forever. That is the trip which started my Disney FEVER! Jeremy and myself have been to Disney, more times now than I can count. I wish I had counted when we started going...unfortunately me being the person that I am...we did not. However, Jeremy and I got engaged at MK in front of the castle during Wishes! He couldn't have done it at a more perfect moment, I know everyone knows the part of Wishes which states "Now let's all put our hearts together and make a wish come true?" Well THAT, is when he proposed. We spent our honeymoon at DL in California
All anniversaries have been spent at a Disney Park so far. 1st, 2nd, and 4th at WDW, 3rd at Disneyland Paris, and our 5th is going to be on the Disney Wonder to Alaska, but that is another TR all together when it happens in June. Now that you know a little bit about me I want to tell you about this particular Trip Report!
When we heard on New Years Eve that Walt Disney World was going to be open for 24 hours we were ecstatic and KNEW we wanted to be a part of that. So the next day after the holidays were over and I was able I booked my trip right away! We ended up booking AKL Kidani Village, I was happy about that, it seems to be our go to resort when we go. There is usually always availability there and it suits us just fine! Ever since then I had been planning away making reservations, figuring out what we wanted to do with all of that time and so on and so forth! So that brings us to now. Our trip is over and I have loads of memories to share with you all, and myself for that matter. I am also making a magazine simultaneously as a keepsake for us, and will share that with everyone after the TR has been completed. I do not have as many photos as I would like for this very first TR, I was trying to save memory card space for the 24 hours because I knew I was going to take loads of pictures that day, and I did. So with that in mind there is going to be a little more writing than photos in this one, but bear with me I will definitely have photos for you! Well with all of that said, I hope you guys join me and enjoy my TR! Here is the Plan of how things will hopefully roll out!
Day 1 - Kidani, Tables in Wonderland, and Paradiso 37
Day 2 - Disney's Hollywood Studios, 50's Prime Time Cafe & EPCOT Teppan Edo
Day 3 - Whispering Canyon Cafe, Our first encounter with Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom, and Jiko
Day 4 - Tusker House Restaurant, Sanaa, and early to bed early to rise!
Day 5 - ONE MORE DISNEY DAY! 24 Hours at the Magic Kingdom or so we hope
Day 6 - Victoria & Albert's WHOA that's a lot of food!
Day 7 - Can't we play Sorcerers a little more before we leave?
