I have used these boards for so many years, but I have barely given back and contributed. So I am finally going to take the time and write a few trip reports about my experiences at Disney World so far this year, with the hopes of helping others as I have been helped for so many years. I will be happy to answer any questions.
Just a bit of background: I have been going to Disney World since I was a child. As soon as my husband and I began dating, I dragged him to Disney for his first trip. As a married couple, we went a couple of times and soon had kids that we began taking to Disney World every other year at first. For the last 5 years, I began going every year with the kids (3 of them) and my husband, at times, would join us for a couple of days.
Our trips are a week to up to 10 days long. We have gone in all seasons. Last August, I purchased my first annual pass. This made it too tempting to hop on a plane and spend a weekend at the World. So far this year, I have gone the last weekend of January, the first weekend of March, and this past weekend (first weekend of June). The trip in January ended up being a solo trip for the last 2 days. For the March getaway, I flew in on Thursday, a day before my hubby, and then another Northeastern hit us yet again. He wasn’t able to get in till Saturday afternoon and we left home Monday morning. Due to the circumstances of these last 2 trips without my kids and being on my own some of the days, I realized that I could easily do a solo trip. This past weekend, I went on my first official solo trip ever to anywhere. My plans for the rest of the year are; I have a surprise birthday trip planned for my younger son in the beginning of September at Animal Kingdom Resort in a Savannah view room. I am also planning on doing at least 2 days at Disneyland Paris at the end of August with my husband since we are going to be in Paris.
We have always stayed in deluxe resorts except for one trip, where we stayed at the Art of Animation in a Nemo suite. For our longer trips we usually do a split stay between the Polynesian and the Beach Club. We have also stayed at the Boardwalk and Bay Lake Towers. During these last 3 getaways, I decided to try the Moderate resorts. I also stayed 1 night in a value resort. In the next posts I will report on these last 3 trips.
