Ok so I have been reading everyone's trip reports for the past couple of weeks and I decided that it is time to make one for my trip. We haven't gone yet but we're going on May 19 (actually 20) but who cares.

We'll start with the cast:

Me (20)-Disney princess and I love everything Disney, always have always will! I have been 7 times previous to this trip. 1992, 1993, 1996, 2001, 2002, 2005, and 2006! Also in love with my fiance, we have been together since 2002, anniversay is November 2, 2002 to be exact. We are getting married December 7, 2007 and then Disneymooning in the World a day later.

DF (21)- Disney prince and he loves Disney but not as much as me. He has gone 4 times prior to this, I think, don't know the years except last year 2006.

Now on to the pre-trip report:

A little bit of background information- In October 2002, we met and were friends for about a month. Then on November 2, 2002 we became a couple, I was a freshman in high school and he was a junior in high school. We saw each other almost everyday at school, and would go out on the weekends. So we dated and went out through high school, and then on March 21, 2006 while at the World he proposed, I know what you're thinking but they're so young. You're right we are but we love each other and don't care if people think we are too young. Then on May 15, 2006 we moved in together and have been happily Here are some pics from our 2006 trip.

This is a pic of DF and I at Rose and Crown Pub (our favorite restaurant) the first night of our trip.

Couple more pictures of us together at the World.

This is all for now I have to go to a family more later.

Ok on with the pre-trip report:

In October 2006, I think, we decided that we really wanted to go back! So we planned the trip and decided on May 20-25. Out original plan was to drive, but after going to my dad's house in Arizona, and spending $600 round-trip driving down and the jump in gas now, we are flying southwest out of Kansas City. Ok here is the plan:

Saturday, May 19th-Drive to Kansas City (we live in Des Moines), we are going to have lunch at a really good home cooking restaurant called Stroud's and then we're going to go to the Plaza and go see Shrek the Third! Then we're staying at the Best Western by the airport and our going to park our car there all week and take the hotel shuttle to the airport.

Sunday, May 20th- Our plane leaves Kansas City at 7:00 am and we are arrive in Orlando at 10:40 am. We are going to straight to check in at DME, and hopefully will be at our hotel by 11:40 am. We are staying at Pop Century and we stayed there last year and loved it. We are going to check in at Pop Century and then go straight to Epcot. We have ADR's for Rose and Crown at 7:30 pm. We then plan to go to Magic Kingdom EMH that night after Epcot.

Monday, May 21st- Wake up at 7:00 am to be at park opening. We have lunch reservations at Sci-Fi Dine In at 11:05 am. We are going to do all we want at MGM and hopefully be done before lunch, and won't be returning all week. We're going to Magic Kingdom after lunch and will grab counter service (forgot to mention we're on the dining plan) for dinner. We are going to watch Wishes on our bench (we got engaged on the this bench, the one right next to Tomorrland Indy Speedway).

Tuesday, May 22nd- Wake up at 7:00 am again and be at opening of Animal Kingdom. We are only riding two things, Everest and Kilamonjaro Safari. We won't be coming back to Animal Kingdom the rest of the week. After we're done at Animal Kingdom we are going to Magic Kingdom and have ARD at Liberty Tree Tavern at 5:00 pm. Then we are going back to Epcot for EMH.

Wednesday, May 23rd- We have ADR at 8:00 am at 'Ohana, I am so excited about this, I LOVE Stitch. I even can make the Stitch voice. We are then going to Epcot for the whole day. Grab a counter service meal for dinner and lunch, we'll have to pay OOP for one of the two.

Thursday, May 24th- We are waking up at 6:30 am, I want to see Magic Kingdom opening sometime this week, so today is the day. Finish what we haven't here and then go to Epcot the rest of the day or maybe downtown disney. We have ADR's at 5:30 pm for Chef Mickey's.

Friday, May 25th-Our plane leaves at 7:50 am, so up and at em early and then we get back to Kansas City around 9:30, we'll go to the hotel we stayed at the first night and grab our car and go home.

Well what do you all think? We are getting so excited to go, we leave in 5 days!

Good plan so far....I am only doing those two things at Ak when we go also. Can't wait to hear more.

 

[tlhbdm]

Thanks for reading everyone!

 

[tlhbdm]

Well we're leaving tomorrow to drive to Kansas City! I will take a lot of pics and then post when I get back!

 

[Dizmom0923]

Have a safe trip.....Can't wait to here all about it.

 

[tlhbdm]

All right we're back! We got back this afternoon from WDW. I'm really not going through Post Disney depression because I know I will back in about 6 months for my Disneymoon. I will post the TR as soon as I get my memory card back from the photo store. DF's grandpa and uncle own a photo store here in town so I will get my memory card back tomorrow. See you all then!

Ok here we go. I didn't take any pictures the first day cause we were just going to Kansas City to go to a movie and sleep in the hotel.

We left our apartment at 8:15 am and made our way over to my mom's house to leave my car and my laptop there for the week. We left her house around 8:30 am or so. We drove for a long time it seemed even though it was only about 2.5 hours. We were going to go to a restraunt called Stroud's and we got there and found out they didn't open until 2:00 and we were there about 11:30, so we decided that we were going to go to the Plaza and go to the movie and then go to Stroud's for dinner.

We saw Shrek the Third, and it was good but not as good as the first two. We got done with the movie and then walked around the plaza. Let me step back a step, we got lost in KC because the exit we were supposed to take was closed and somehow got to the Kansas City, Kansas side, so after the set back we went to the movie. Then we went to the hotel to check in, and we got there room was nice but not the greatest. Then we went to dinner, had a 45 minute wait at 5:00 pm!

We went back to the hotel after dinner, watched TV and finally got to sleep I think around 11:30.

We had to wake up at 5:30 cause we had to leave at 5:45 in the airport shuttle so we could go to Disney World!

We got to Orland around 10:45 or so and the line for ME was ridicoulos(sp). I'll finish more with pics later.
