I have this enormously spectacular, months in the making, awesome birthday trip coming up! It consists of MNSSHP, Food & Wine Festival, My Birthday at the world, and lots of planning! I just can't lie, I love being the center of attention sometimes, and where better to do that than disney?? I just can't wait!
Lets take a quick look at the cast and an overview of the plans!
This trip has been almost a year planned! My cousin, Kara hasn't been to Disney World since September 2007, since we last went together! Wow how time flies, I remember making that Trip Report like it was yesterday! For a glimpse into the past, click here! That was such a great trip, definitely one of my favorite trips there of all time. It introduced me to the WL, the DDP, and time spent alone with my cousins. Back to present day, Kara and I can't wait for our October trip. We keep saying things like "how can we top this trip?" "I don't know if we can fit anymore awesome in!" Lets start with the cast!
On the right side, we have me, Nicole a 22 year old, planner obsessed, disney (and dis) loving girl!
On the left, we have Kara (pronounce the "a" like in cat) A lover of Disney (but not quite as much as myself) We all had a great trip back in September that year, but we agreed that this was going to be a fun new experience for it to be girls only!
I'm terrible at the description thing, but at least in my case, you'll get to know me soon enough, I know a lot of people on the DIS have and they haven't kicked me off yet
So here are the dates! We are going October 2-9th with a bit of a twist! In the past, I have usually taken the first 2 nights of the trip and spent them over at Universal Orlando Shhh we have to be quiet who we say that to on here This year, Kara and I were at dinner and got to talking, and realized neither one of us has been to Sea World, but has always had a strong desire! That's all it took for us to figure out what we wanted to! So October 2nd-4th we will be here:
It's one of 2 hotels that is in walking distance of Sea World, so no parking fees for us! Now normally i'm skeptical of doing anything outside the Disney (or for that matter, Universal) bubble. I like to stay on site, never touch my car, I don't look at the somewhat dingy attractions that can line International Drive on my way there, I just like to stay within borders. But this trip I actually have a desire to step outside that bubble (at least during the sea world part) and see what kind of fun we can encounter on the normal streets of Orlando! Sea World doesn't offer their own hotel, I wish they did, but the Hilton Garden Inn has gotten great reviews and I got a great price on it! We are only going to Sea World on the 3rd, and its kind of nerve wracking because i've never been there and hence don't know what to expect, but I do know one thing...MANTA!!!

More plans to come later during the pre-trip report of course!
After what we hope is 2 fun filled days out in the Orlando open, its time to pack it up and enter the bubble! And for the next 6 days never leave the bubble unless necessary!
So the 4th-9th, with DDP will be spent here!
The Animal Kingdom Lodge! We can't wait!!! Kara's only experience with Disney resorts is the Wilderness Lodge, and as much as I wanted to stay there (and she was all for it!) it was time for her to have a new experience! She is just too excited for words to stay here! She loves loves loves animals and I have so many fond memories of this place, and so much new to explore! This trip I think we will definitely participate in some of the craft activities they have to offer!
So this about wraps up the Pre-trip report intros. I hope you guys will join me in this crazy 30 day adventure! After all,
We are 1 month away!!
YOU'RE INVITED!
(Hopefully my invitation will show you how obsessed i've become with the Creative Disigns board!)
