[SimplyGoofy]

Thank you for sharing your wonderful trip report! I really enjoyed it!

 

[MissMaryQC]

What a magical trip! I am so glad I found this report. Your family is wonderful, as was this adventure.

Only in Disney can a person go 20 times and still have so many new experiences.

And now for an even greater new adventure, DCP!!! I'm so happy for you.

I will be glad to hear about graduation should you choose to post it. And I'm following along on Instagram. Can't wait to see what wonders you discover in Orlando.

 

[MsLady]

So I just read through you entire TR today! It looked like you guys had a blast! What a great what a great way to celebrate your sisters 16th! Congratulations on getting accepted!! Let us know where you will be working and I'll look for you in July! Its always nice to meet a fellow Disney nut named Courtney!

 

[RGirl]

And for me, I got the Frozen shirt:

Willow would totally approve!

This castle shirt:

I love this one!

Belle Alex and Ani:

I really want to collect these (they have them in silver too, right? better if they don't - I don't need another reason to spend money!)! They are so subtle and pretty.

Splash Mountain plate:

Adorable!!!

And, of course, the Keys to the Kingdom commemorative pin:

So perfect!

I want to thank every one of you for reading and commenting. It means the world to me that people enjoy my adventures so much. I know you have many choices when reading TRs and that it can be hard investing yourself in an 10-month process, so I really appreciate that you came along for the ride!

Oh, Courtney, you know I love your TRs - wouldn't miss one for the world.

So what’s next? The DISNEY COLLEGE PROGRAM!!! I will be doing a TR, so keep an eye out for that coming this June, and you can also follow along on Instagram at @courtneybelledcp. I also may do a real-life update for my college graduation if anyone is interested in that!

I CANNOT wait for the DCL TR, but more than that, I can't wait to be dining, riding rides, and viewing parades together in less than three months!!!!

YES - do a graduation update - duh! Of course, we want to know about that, it's one of the biggest moments of your life!

 

[amberg93]

I'm still in love with your Duffy.

Of course I'd be interested in your college graduation because that's huge stuff! But also I can't wait to hear all about your CP experience and all of your further adventures.

Thanks again for sharing everything with us, it's been awesome and has helped my Disney sickness.

 

[TheLittleKatie]

OMG I LOVE THIS. We still have some of the vintage yellow ponchos from the 90s!

Haha, I also bought this, and I have no idea what to do with it You got some lovely souvenirs!

So what’s next? The DISNEY COLLEGE PROGRAM!!! I will be doing a TR, so keep an eye out for that coming this June

[jordansmama]

Thank you so much for sharing your trip with us. I very much enjoyed reading about it! I can't wait to read about your time in the College Program!

 

[missjackiemcg]

May I just say that I am LOVING the fact that you sent the soccer shirt back!! Serves him right. His loss, by the way!!! Now you'll be free to frolic about and meet new and better matches on your next adventure in JUST A FEW WEEKS!!! aaaah! YAY YAY YAY!

Cannot wait for the DCP TR. Here I am waiting

Bye for now!

 

[dmlovullo]

I really enjoyed reading your TR! I look forward to reading about the DCP! Congrats and Good Luck! I will be at WDW in October and I may just have to do a TR. I am looking to go back to school for Tourism...and hopefully a shot at DCP myself. You are never to old for school...or Disney for that matter! Will be following along! Enjoy!

 

[tinkerjlee]

Thank you for sharing your trip report! I truly enjoyed your adventures.

I want to wish you all the best with the DCP!! I will be following along on Instagram. Hopefully I may see you down there in a couple of weeks!!!

 

[deannaf87]

Just tuned into your TR!

I definitely agree about the episode of The Middle being hard to watch. I was thinking the whole time about how much park time they were wasting, haha. Love The Middle though and the "I am the captain now" line was great.

 

[LashesandDashes]

Courtney I loved reading your trip report. I read the report in two days. I feel like I know you and your family after traveling through 30 some pages! I will be traveling with my family to Disney this December for the first time in 15 years for my 21st birthday. I followed you on Instagram and I look forward to reading about the DCP.

 

[MommyOde]

I sat and read through your entire trip report last night/today.

I realllyyyyy want to do the keys to the kingdom tour now lol but sadly need to wait for my boys to be older (or do it in a few years when DH and I plan to go to WDW by ourselves)

Congrats on getting into the Disney collage program! I look forward to your next trip report and any updates while you're working there! We're headed to WDW for 2 weeks in sept so I just might see you there!

 

[courtneybelle]

All that rubbing, making wishes, I presume.

Precisely!

Sorry to hear about your break up... but...
So... Your available now?
I'm thinking a young attractive young lady who'll be able to maybe get some discounts at WDW has got to be a catch.

(Just re-read that. Sounds like I'm hitting on you! I'll have to clear it with my DW first.)

HAHAHA oh pkondz. Yes, the Disney discounts make me quite popular with the boys.
"oooh let's take a romantic trip to WDW! You can get tickets and hotels for free, right?"

I like the way it fades in.

Me too! I also had multiple Olaf shirts, so I really wanted an Anna and Elsa one.

Oooohhhh... Can't wait!

ME EITHER!!!!

I hate those words! Nooooooo!!!!!

So... Are you starting that TR soon, then?

It was an absolute pleasure to read along on your adventure. Thanks so much for sharing it with us.

VERY soon. Like, fewer than two weeks soon.

Thank YOU so much for joining in!! I loved all your comments and I'm so glad to have "met" you through the DIS.

Courtney thank you so so much for sharing your latest Disney adventure with us! I don't comment much but have been following along from the start and have loved every minute.

My dream is to do the Keys to the Kingdom tour and your report was great as it gave me a real insight into the tour without spoiling it in any way. Our next Disney trip is likely to be to Disneyland as part of our honeymoon (we're touring California) so I'll hopefully get to do one of the tours there.

Best of luck with your new adventure, I'll definitely be following along here and on instagram! xx

Thank you so much for reading along!!!

I know there's a fabulous Walk in Walt's Footsteps tour over at Disneyland (my pal Roni/RGirl wrote about it) that's similar to Keys, so I'm sure you'll love it!!

Thank you so much! I'm excited to get posting to Insta about it.

Such a pleasure reading along Congrats on graduation, hope you enjoy some time with the family over the next few weeks and I will definitely be on the lookout for your DCP TR!!

Thank you so much for reading along and for all the kind words!!

Amazing TR. I will definitely follow you on instagram, and your future CP-TR!

Thank you so much!!! So excited to get the Instagram and TR started.

Love the recap - especially that you can say that you have been to Disney 20 times and keep finding new things to experience!

Best of luck with the College Program - look forward to following along!

Thank you for sharing your trip with us!

YES, and there will be even more things to discover when I'm there for six months!

Thanks so much for following along again

Courtney, Thank YOU for your wonderfully written, magical and not so magical moments. This truly was an epic trip, just like I knew it would be, and it was an absolute pleasure to follow along with. Not to mention...

But as much as I enjoyed EVERYTHING this TR had, I have a feeling the NEXT one is going to top it. I can't wait for that, and also to hopefully make an appearance in just a few months!!!!

Ahhh Rob, thank YOU so much for being one of my best DISer pals. I say this every time but I don't think I'd be writing TRs if it weren't for you. I can't wait until Churro Fest in September!!! Who knows, maybe we'll run into Big Al together!

What a great trip and I loved reading your whole report! Good luck to you on your next adventure - enjoy every moment!

Thank you so much for reading along!!

I love this shirt!!

You got some great souvenirs and I'm glad to hear it was such a great trip! I really enjoyed reading all about it, so thank you so much for sharing!!

I love this one!

Thanks!!

I really want to collect these (they have them in silver too, right? better if they don't - I don't need another reason to spend money!)! They are so subtle and pretty.

Yes, they do have them in silver...you should totally start collecting! (I'm a bad influence). They're extremely popular in the Northeast so I already had five or six before the Disney ones came out. Now I'm up to 11...

Adorable!!!

So perfect!

Oh, Courtney, you know I love your TRs - wouldn't miss one for the world.

Thanks SO much Roni. You're the best!

Real Life Update: Graduation

Hi everyone! So as I've said, there have been some pretty big developments in my life recently. I'll start with the most important...Pinkberry has released CHURRO FLAVORED FROZEN YOGURT.

I can confirm it tastes shockingly like a churro. It's wonderful if you need a Disney snack fix without being in Disney.

But seriously, recently I graduated college!!! The week started with a bunch of events for seniors. I brought my friend Brent, who's a junior, and we had a blast!

There was a semi formal night...

A daytime event (this dress is from Kohl's Cinderella line!)...

And a formal night at a casino! This was my favorite night of the three, I loved getting dressed up, and the venue and band were fabulous.

The week went by so quickly that before I knew it, it was graduation!

My family came to support me, and I was so happy to see them.

They gave me a diploma! I did it!

And to congratulate me, my sister got me quite possibly the best graduation gift EVER.

Now, I'm just TWO WEEKS AWAY from moving to Florida! I can hardly wait to see where I'm working, where I'm living, and how many churros a person can eat on a weekly basis.​

 

[MissMaryQC]

Huge congratulations on graduating!! You should be very proud; not everyone gets that far and it's quite a big thing.

You look lovely in your teal gown! The weeks activities look like such fun.

You look so happy with your family, and I love the photo of you and Kylie.

Two weeks!! Oh my goodness! You must be so excited!
