Among my friends I'm known as the girl obsessed with Disney....to some its perfectly normal and to others a little bit weird, but most know at some point or another that I will offer them a chance to go to Disney with me.
I tend to plan trips on a regular basis....the key word being plan....rarely to these plans ever become reality!
Last week I mentioned to a friend that I had planned a whirlwind "Disney fix" trip for May. However, with my parents extremely busy and my friends either in school or going to Disney in April (Belle_373! ) I was left without someone to go with!
So I filed the plans away with the others that never came to be and left it at that.
I was out to dinner with one of my best friends and she asked "Are you still thinking of going to Disney in May....because I might want to come..."
She did it....she awakened the Disney recruiter in me!! Suddenly I was going on about resorts, parks, restaurants, passes, extra magic hours, magical express and she looked kinda like this:
with a bit 
of and some 
After a slower, calmer break down....
When?
Saturday May 30th - Wednesday June 3rd
Where?
Disney's Coronado Springs Resort
Who?
Tink (me): I'm 23, but I'll be 24 by the time this trip rolls around. This will be my 31st trip to WDW! I am completely obsessed with all things Disney and I'm still a kid at heart
My favorite parks are Epcot and the Magic Kingdom. My favorites rides are Splash Mountain, the Haunted Mansion and Soarin'. I *love* food and dining reviews are my passion.
Alice: She is 23 as well. I've known her since high school and she is the kind of friend you always die of laughter with
She has never been to Disney 
scared1: I know, blasphemous!) and is very excited! Her one requirement is that we go to Animal Kingdom because she loves the environment, nature and animals.

but going with a first timer will be a different experience. I've never been to WDW with someone who has NEVER been there. The closest I've come is with my friend Winnie who went when she was 6 and then returned to WDW with me at age 16. But she could actually remember aspects of the world!
as I look at WDW pics! 
Southwest! No baggage fees, no change fees, all fares can be refunded to travel credit, 2 BAGS! And you get to pick your own seat 
. Her one request was to swap Tokyo Dining for Chefs de France as she has never had real french food. I also discovered that by "thrill" rides she means anything that goes upside-down. I still think Everest is out as it feels like it goes upside down and she said backwards is out too 
But I'm really very flexible and prone to changing my plans during the vacation itself!
Only 73 days to go
