Merry Christmas Eve Everyone!

I'm so sorry that I haven't been active on this trip report. Finals are finally over (Thank Gosh!) but the holiday season has me more swamped then ever before! I'm going to really try to get my next post done sometime this weekend when all the excitement dies down.

I miss all of you! Have a wonderful Holiday and stay safe! ​

Hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas Lauren!

So, when I last left you, we had finally fallen asleep, ready for Disney World the next day!

I had set my phone alarm for 8:00 that morning, but I was totally up at 7:30. There was no way I could sleep any longer knowing that Disney was only 10 minutes away! So, I got out of bed and made sure everything I had taken out the night before was put back into my purse or suitcase. I'm the queen of leaving things behind and I was determined to not let it happen this time! No way jose!

I didn't wake Corrina up, but about 10 minutes later, she was rolling out of bed asking what time it was. (I might've turned the tv on a little loud or dropped a few things here and there... just sayin'. )

"TIME TO GET OUR BUTTS TO DISNEY WORLD!!!!"

About 20 minutes later, we were both dressed and ready to head out.

Our lovely morning shot. I wanted coffee so bad, but didn't want to have to stop anywhere. How bad is that?

Okay, so remember how I said that Disney was only about 10 minutes away? Yeah, it totally is, but not that morning. I swear, I got stuck behind the world's slowest drivers. When the exit ramp for I-4 finally came up, we were stoked. Except...

I GOT ON I-4 WEST INSTEAD OF EAST.

Yeah. That would've been wonderful except for the fact that we stayed an exit PAST the Disney ones.

So, after getting off at the next exit, paying a .25 cent toll and finally getting myself back in the next direction, it wasn't long until we were seeing that B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L sight...

I made Corrina take the picture since I was on the phone with my mom. I think she did a pretty good job!

We found Pop with no problems at all. It's pretty much the first turn after you pass under the gates.

She told me she was going to beat me in. See that look of determination on her face? That "I'm totally beating you. Get over it!" look. Yeah, didn't last for long! When we got to the doors, I ran right in front of her.

Check-in was a breeze, there was no one in line!

Our room was ready (at 9:30!) SCORE! I snapped a picture of the Christmas tree in the lobby as we were heading out. It's a little dark, sorry.

Welcome to Room 0114 in the 70's section!

She told me to model the tv. So I did. And she cut about half of it out. Way to go Co!

We brought all of the suitcases inside, I changed my clothes, Corrina went to smoke a cigarette and then we headed off to....

*Which park do we hit first?

If you can figure out where I am, you'll figure out where we went first.

STAY TUNED FOR THE NEXT UPDATE.
