Hello! :wave2: I'm Nina and I will be your pre trip reporter today! This is me:



I'm a 20 year old Education Studies student from Essex, England and the only one going on this trip. The photo was taken at the Harry Potter Studio Tour. Ok, so a little about the title. You may be looking at it thinking 'Summer camp?! What on earth is she talking about??' Well, I'll tell you. In the two and a bit months before my trip I will be in Minnesota working as a camp counsellor at a special needs camp. That is the whole reason that I can afford to go to Disney; the air fare will only be a couple hundred dollars instead of like, nine hundred pounds or whatever. Now, onto the trip!

The who: Me!!
The when: 17th - 22nd August
The where: Art of Animation! :hyper:

I have never been on a holiday exclusively to Disney before. Not Disneyworld Florida anyway. Paris, yes, but those are different stories. Anyway, I have a plan of attack/action:

17th August: Land in MCO. Get the Magical Express to the resort, check in and dump my stuff and go to Downtown Disney for food and shopping. Get an early night (if possible).

18th August: Get to Magic Kingdom for rope drop and play the day away until Wishes.

19th August: Hollywood Studios for rope drop. I have a reservation (my only one) for Sci Fi Dine In, which I am very excited about! Stay until Fantasmic.

20th August: EPCOT for rope drop. Stay until Illuminations.

21st August: Animal Kingdom! My favourite park! Arrive for rope drop, stay until closing.

22nd August: Spend the morning in the pool(s), mentally prepare myself for 8 1/2 hour flight home, lunch at the resort and then catch the Magical Express back to the airport.

23rd August: Land in Heathrow, sleep for the rest of the summer :rotfl:.

So yay! Any thoughts, questions, comments will be gratefully received. So welcome!
 
Welcome....Sounds like a good plan. Look forward to reading your updates and your trip report.
