Hello there!
Why the fish emoticon? I'm not sure...I thought it was cute. Also, I can't find the emoticon where the little happy face man dude person guy is waving.
Intro time. My name is Kellie and I am 21 years old. My favorite character is Mulan. Why? I really admire how she loved her father so much she was willing to risk her life for him. In the process, she ended up pretty much saving an ENTIRE COUNTRY.
I have been stal...err...lurking
on these boards for about a year but only now have I decided to get an account. I always thought "why bother" as it seems like most everyone hear has a chance to get to Disney World at least once a year and wasn't quite sure if someone who doesn't go very often was welcome but I figured....eh, what's the worst that could happen?
Anyway back to the intro. I live in Hawaii...waaaay too far from the magic.
Although I dont get to visit the parks often, I am a HUUUGE Disney Freak. My sister however thinks I am a Disney Stalker. Yes. A Disney Stalker. Shortly before our last trip, I started asking her some questions about our upcomming trip and she wasn't really answering me. I was like, "I thought you were a Disney Freak?" She is by the way...just not as much as me. She was all like, "I AM a Disney Freak. You are a Disney Stalker!" 
Anyway I
: looooooove the parks, I am always looking up information about them or living vicariously through other people's trip reports. I also spend a lot of time listening to Disney park music...not just from the World...from Disneyland, Disneyland Paris, and even Tokyo Disney. I : loooooooove the movies as well. I think I have pretty much all the songs memorized from The Little Mermaid to Tarzan. My room has all these Disney figurines and posters...once a few years ago my cousin came over and was like, "come on now, we're gettin older, you gotta get rid of the Disney stuff," and I was like "never!" I'm sure you all know how that goes though. Especially if you don't have any children, because according to most people, Disney is just for kids. I guess I'm still a kid then! 
Aside from my almost unhealthy obsession, I am mostly a regular person. I go to college and work part time at a child care place. Next semester I am going to be going into a phlebotomy program and perhaps in a few years I will return to school for nursing or something. I really like to draw and hike.
Then there is my sister Kristina but I call her Kris. She is 18 years old now but was 17 at the time of the trip. Her favorite character is Ariel. Why? Because my sister likes Arie'ls rebelliousness. I actually don't care for Ariel that much for that very reason...she disobeyed her father! I suppose you could say Mulan also disobeyed her father but at least she did it for a very noble cause. Ariel only disobeyed her father to be with some boy.
Anyway is in her first year of college and is majoring in interior design. Kris and I pretty much get along for the most part. We have our spats here and there but who doesn't? What else can I say about her? She is blunt and impulsive...sometimes does things without thinking. Wow that was negative! Positives...positives... Oh! 
She is a good dresser. Also she is smart and when she sets her mind to do something, she does it and does a good job. She never flakes out on things unlike me who is sad to say, guilty of being flaky on more than one occasion.
Finally there is my mom. Whenever she is asked how old she is, she always tells people she is the same age as Disneyland. So yeah, If you know how old Disneyland is then you pretty much know my mom's age! But don't tell her that I told you what it was.
Anyway her favorite character is Minnie. Why? She has no idea, she just likes Minnie.
Anyway my mom is a business teacher at a high school. She is counting down the years until her retirement so that she can FINALLY visit Disney during the holidays. She would like to visit during Thanksgiving when there are festivities in place but it's not insanley crowded like during Christmastime but her school schedule has never allowed her to do so. What can I say about my mom's personality? I guess I am a lot like her. She is forgetful. She's the kind of person who is driving halfway down the street and is like, "did I remember to lock the door?"
Really, that kind of thing happens on a weekly basis. Hmm, what else? IDK. She's...mom.
Here is what we look like. Mom on the left, Kris in the middle, and me on the right. It kinda looks like it was supposed to be a pic of just mom and Kris and I popped in there at last minute but I swear that wasn't the intent!
Anyway the trip I am going to tell you guys about was over a year ago. March 16-27, 2008. It was actually planned kind of last minute which was so unlike my mom! We had thought about going to Disney World in the fall and had ordered that planning DVD and everything but mom thought the airfare was too expensive. I was disappointed but what could I do really? Little did I know, every now and then, mom was checking airfares, just for fun. Finally one day in late January, mom found a really good deal with Delta. She could not pass up the deal, she reserved our seats and then called the Disney people. We would be on our way to Disney in less than 2 months! I was sooooooo happy you could not believe, or maybe you could? Actually I'm sure you probably could, especially if you've gone on a last minute Disney trip. Prior to this trip, all of our trips had been planned at least 6 months in advance. I guess Disney was just calling my mom's name! The next night, I actually wrote out my "Things to Pack" list and taped it to my wall. sure the trip wasn't for another month but I was so excited!" Even over a year later, sitting here and reminiscing, I am smiling, remembering how happy I was.
Anyway I'll start the trip report soon. Probably within the next hour or at least next 2 days. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I have enjoyed reading all of yours!

I am somewhat of a germophobe. I always have been. I FEAR the bedspread. We all know how nasty those things are and how it's not washed after every guest. One of the first things I did was fold up my bedspread and put it in the closet. Then I put on some hand sanitizer. Then I proceeded to spray the whole room and all the fixtures and knobs and remote controls with Lysol. Now there would be only a .1% that I would get a horrible disease!
You know...because Lysol is 99.9% effective. Anyway yeah, I'm pretty much a freak but thats okay.
I'm in! I can't imagine the plane ride to get from WDW to Hawaii!
Feel free to tell us more about Hawaii too. 
I'm so in for this one.
