Here you leave today and enter the world of yesterday, tomorrow and fantasy.
No wait scratch that, you’re staying in the present to hear all about my latest trip to WDW.
And this one was a doozy. It had peaks as high as Everest and lows as low as 20,000 leagues under the sea (with Nemo and Friends).
This was my first time back since my 6 week solo adventure in 2016 and this time I wasn’t travelling alone – I brought a husband along with me (thankfully mine but I’m always open to taking others as long as it means I can go back to Disney sooner!).
It was a short trip (and for my husband even shorter), and I was back home in Denver just six short days after I left.
But before I get into reliving both the pain and the pleasure of this trip let me introduce myself and my partner in crime for this adventure, DH.
I’m 32 years old and I’m originally from Melbourne, Australia. I spent almost nine years living in the nation’s capital, Canberra working for the federal government but that all changed after my last Disney trip.
I happened to meet a boy on that adventure and that boy is now DH. Part of the package of marrying him involved moving to the US and we’re now based in Denver, Colorado (well in a suburb just outside of it).
I’m a public servant (I think you call them civil servants in the northern hemisphere) and work for the Colorado state government for the Department who administers Medicaid.
I love to travel, have been to over 30+ countries, and, if I’m in a country with a Disney park, I will always go. The only park on my list left to visit is Shanghai and now that I’ve moved to the states its less likely to happen, but a girl can dream right?
Favourite Park: Magic Kingdom
Favourite Ride: Big Thunder Mountain Railroad (specifically in HK but I do love all of them)
Favourite Character - Princess: Snow White
Favourite Character - Non-Princess: the Genie
Favourite Disney Movie: Aladdin (the animated version)
And my travelling partner was my DH. My DH had been to WDW for one day as a child (he grew up in Atlanta, so it wasn’t that far for his family to travel there) and all he remembers was waiting in ridiculously long lines.
So, it took some convincing to get him to agree to go to Disney. But he loves me so that won out in the end.
He’s also 32 and works for the county government. His main hobby is video games and he’s also become a pretty good baker over the last few years as well.
He hates crowds, lacks patience and suffers from anxiety so WDW is basically a powder keg for him and it won’t take much to ruin his day.
Favourite Park: Animal Kingdom
Favourite Ride: Expedition Everest
Favourite Disney Movie: The Lion King (original)
So stay tuned to see if I managed to convert my DH to a Disney lover and whether we’ll ever be able to go back!
