Hello everyone! My name is Kevin and I'm new to the boards. I'm a 21 year old who is currently studying Sport Management at the University of Tampa.
Love going to school in Florida, as I'm originally from South Jersey, right near Philadelphia. I first went to Disney World in 1996 with my family, but I was only 8 so I don't really remember it. I went to Disneyland in the Summers of 2001 and 2003 and had an awesome time. Then next Disney World trip was in the Spring of 2007 with my senior class, and this was an eye opening trip for me. I have always loved Disney movies and have a collection of Disney figures I used to spend hours with as a child. However, being able to go all over Disney World and go on everything. I became obsessed.
When my father came down to pick me up after my freshman year, we decided to do a day in Disney before we returned. I was a bit hyper the night before and couldn't sleep much, only got about three hours, and boy that came to bite me in the butt, haha. We tried to do a park hopper day of all four parks. By around 7PM, I was beat and only finished half of Magic Kingdom before I had to turn it in. It was awesome, but I was struggling and an idiot to even try.
Last year we spent two days at the resort, All-Star Sports to be exact. Spilt the parks into two a day, Animal Kingdom and Epcot on one day and Hollywood Studios and Magic Kingdom the next, so the Illuminations and Wishes shows were both possible to see. It was a lot better, however there was a lot I haven't been able to go on or see, such as Lights, Motor, Action, and even a classic like Flight of Peter Pan.
My younger brother now goes to school in Tampa, and were planning a four day trip this time, including a trip to Blizzard Beach. We'll be there May 8th-12th. Should be a good time, and I can't wait to count down the days on these boards with everyone!
Thanks for reading!
