Hello everyone and welcome to my latest TR. I’ve done quite a few of them in the past and links are in my signature. It took me a while to get this TR up and running due to some craziness at my workplace. Hopefully now that I’ve got it going I can update maybe once a week. I was completely and totally lazy with the intro and copied most of it from my PTR.
From East Coast to West Coast in Under 3 Months
That PTR is still ongoing at the moment because I am still planning the West Coast (Disneyland) portion which takes place in 29 days. For those of you who know me already, you can skip on down to the next update if you want. For the newbies, here’s a little bit about me.
My name is Ariana and I live outside of Atlanta GA with my husband Jim and our four dogs. Here we are hanging out with Pooh and Tigger last January.
Jim’s actually not involved in either trip this report will cover but we are planning another trip back to WDW in January 2018 and also a long weekend at Williamsburg, VA in May 2017. Jim is a huge history buff and has been wanting to go there for ages.
Since I think my doggies are adorable, I’m going to share some pictures with you. First up is Eddie. He’s a Miniature Schnauzer and is 15. I have an awful time getting pictures of him because he is solid black and is missing both of his eyes. He lost them a few years ago to glaucoma. Lately I’ve been calling him my “Timex Dog” because he “takes a licking and keeps on ticking”. He's blind, deaf and quite a bit on the senile side. He has been through so much in his life, I’m honestly surprised every day that he is still kicking.
Next up is Alex, he’s a Schnauzer mix and is 10 years old.
Sierra is also a Schnauzer and is 6 years old. She is 100% Jim’s baby.
Last but not least is Remy. He’s a Yorkie and just turned 7 years old.
So, let’s move on and focus this trip which was a Mother/Daughter trip to Walt Disney World. Many of you may remember Mom since we have done several Mother/Daughter trips in the past. Here we are on the last one which was October 2014. I haven’t gotten my Photo Pass pictures from this current trip uploaded yet.
This trip was not supposed to happen at all. We booked it back in April 2016 when free dining came out. We were only going to go if the Disneyland trip fell through. We were waiting on my Brother and SIL to decide if we were actually going to DL. When we finally did make the decision to go to DL, Mom and I could not bring ourselves to cancel this trip. We decided to keep it and make it as inexpensive as possible.
Our dates were Saturday, November 26th through Saturday, December 3rd. We stayed at Pop Century and upgraded the free Quick Service Dining to Regular Dining because we really love our sit down meals.
A few months after we booked and already had our ADRs, we found out that my Cousin and her family would be there the same week! We didn’t overlap on all of our days but they did join us a few times. So joining us on some days were Morgan, her husband Steve and their three kids, Jacob, Jordyn and Kennedy.
Her parents, Esther and Jim (Esther is my Mom’s sister) were also along for the trip. Here they are with little Jordyn.
Finally, Morgan’s little sister, Sydney, flew down for just a few days. She couldn’t get the whole week off. Here she is with her husband, Kevin. He was not able to join in on the trip.
