Hi there!
I'm never done a PTR before, or a Trip report even...so we'll see how this goes! Please stick around
I'm Amanda.
I guess you could say I'm an average college student and I was blessed with amazing parents who embraced Disney vacations every year. Well...this time I'm gonna be a grown up (I'm a 20-year-old junior in college) and planning (and paying for) a trip all by myself!
So there's definitely some planning shocks and missteps (and some phone calls to mom) about how the heck you actually plan a trip!
Accompanying me on this interesting journey is my boyfriend, who we'll call D.
D has never been to WDW and doesn't seem really excited about going to be honest. He's been to DL with family when he was younger, and I guess it wasn't a good experience. He really has a passion for biology and all that science-y/animal stuff, so I'm hoping/thinking that he'll like AK.
Us:
We've been in together for 3 years (trip will be a month shy of 4) and we were pretty good friends for basically 7 years. We started dating in our senior year of HS and have been semi-long distance all through college, except for summer and breaks.
Other people:
My parents are my ultimate travel consultants, whether I'm trying to plan ADRs, figuring out my payment plans, or just general questions. They're my emergency go-to if this whole trip falls apart or something happens like I get there and I can't afford food (half joking)...
Which brings me to my next person, Lisa. Lisa is a CM that went to high school with my mom and moved to FL after college. She's practically family, and will ultimately be my support if some horrible disaster happens during the trip.
The basics:
Trip date - March 5, 2016 - March 10, 2016
We go to different colleges, but thankfully our Spring Breaks fall the same week
Where? Art of Animation - Little Mermaid Standard Room&Ticket Package
I stayed at AoA during my last trip during Marathon Weekend '15
What (parks)? MK x2 Epcot x1 AK x1 (skipping HS this time...)
Food? ADR's already booked
stay tuned!
Everything else? Well...I'm considering a few things, but nothing more planned...yet!
