The Wilderness Must Be Explored (for 15 days!)-A Mother-Daughter Trip of a Lifetime!
Hello. My name is Russell and I am a Wilderness Explorer in Tribe 54, Sweat Lodge 12. Do you need any assistance today, sir?
Okay, you caught me. My name isnt Russell. But, we are about to go on an ADVENTURE!
15 Days. 3 Resorts. 15 ADRs. And just the two of us!
One thing you have to understand about us crazy people is that we are very close. It is said that we share a brain (70/30, but whos keeping track?), could pass as sisters, and have too much fun in own little world.
Regardless of what the non-happy people of the world may claim, I say that we are positively normal! We sing at random times, communicate without saying a word, and often times find ourselves saying the exact same thing at the exact same time in the exact same way. Its a little scary, actually.
If I havent met you before, allow me to say WINGAPO! I am glad you are here. If you joined in on my previous sister adventure, welcome back! For those who dont know, I took a sisters-only trip back in April. It was short, but very sweet! Feel free to check it out if you want some extra info. You can read about it here:
It's EXHILARATING in the BIG BLUE WORLD
I wrote that trip report super quick so that I would have it finished by the time I went on my trip in August. However, I am still working on the video, so stay tuned!
You might be wondering how I got the lucky opportunity to go on a trip in April AND August. Well, youll just have to read on, my friends!
Without further ado, Id like to introduce the resident Wilderness Explorers of this August adventure:
Mama! Also known as Minnie Momma here on the Dis. Her real name is Carole, but of course I dont call her that. I would definitely say that we are bestest friends. Once we go on the trip, Ill update this picture because she has lost around 30 pounds and she looks fabulous! Ill also update the favorites after the trip, because we are bound to find a few new ones.
One thing you have to understand about her is her love of Minnie Mouse and Cinderella. I think if she could, she would meet them every single day. They are her absolute favorites! She is always a Princess (never a Queen) and still sees Disney through the eyes of a child. Among her many talents, she can sing just like one of the Cinderella mice. Thats one of the many, many reasons I love her!
She will be adding her own tidbits of information to this TR as well! She will be in BLUE. Don't forget to check back often, because her additions will be done a bit after the original post!!!
Hello! Im Lauren. I am your Pocahontas obsessed, Donald Duck loving, forever a child, happy trip reporter. In my real life I am a Pre-K to 8th grade music teacher, so I spend the majority of my time around kids, which is good because I act like a child! (There is no law that says I have to act like a "normal" 23 year old!) Im 200% convinced that I will never grow up. Being an adult is just not worth it. I like singing for no reason, dancing around to the songs in my head, and taking joy in even the simplest things. Stickers? Bubbles? Balloons? Anything can bring a smile to my face!
As I said before, my favorites are Pocahontas and Donald Duck. Although I only like HAPPY Ducks. Do you notice all of the Donald Duck merchandise that has an angry Donald? It is so sad. Duck misrepresentation alert!!!! I have my own personal protest going on. I only buy things that have Donald Duck smiling. I think hes just misunderstood and needs a friend. At least he tries! (Most of the time, anyway.)
Pocahontas is my favorite princess and I LOVE her. She isnt just in a movie. She is REAL and Im going to meet her! Shes amazing! So strong, beautiful inside and out, and she sings some of my favorite songs! I even tried to pretend to be her when I was younger. I talked in what I thought was perfectly acceptable Native American (absolute gibberish) and danced around with my super long and black (medium length and brown) hair. She is so unappreciated and I get very happy whenever I see her!
Well, thats the basic gist about us. In all honesty, this trip report could be called Minnie Mouse and Pocahontas Take on the World. And eat some good FOOD. Because that is what we intend to do! Now, you might have noticed (or will notice) that Mama looks fabulous! Weve both been trying to cut back and lose weight. Both of our journeys have been a little rocky (mine is reminiscent of the actual Rockies) but were still trying! It is never an instant gratification change, something that I have had a hard time accepting. So in the meantime, we are going to enjoy Disney food the smart way!
We made lots of AWESOME reservations. We are so excited to try many delicious treats around the world and explore new horizons of the culinary arts. (Wow, was that a carefully crafted sentence ) However, well be doing a lot of splitting meals, sharing snacks, and passing on appetizers and (most) desserts (though I cant say no to fried wontons!)
During our 15 day trip we have 15 ADRs scheduled, so you definitely wont be noticing a lack of food pictures. On some days we have doubles, but most days well have 1 table service meal a day, accompanied by a selection of counter service meals for your enjoyment. Plus, we might even change our minds along the way. So really, who knows where we will end up eating!
If youve gotten to this point in the intros, THANKS! I appreciate it! Dont be afraid to comment because I love hearing from anyone and everyone!
ADVENTURE IS OUT THERE!

I hope to give some good information! There's going to be lots and lots to do! 
You!
Only 35 days until she has to choose! 
in my hand during the parade. And that is if I can wait that long! (I wonder how it would be for breakfast....)
