Hello and Welcome to my Disneyland trip report!
For those of you who missed my Pre-Trip Report, you can find that here. It's kind of a mess so I'll go through some of the basics here of the who, what, where, etc!
My husband and I were planning a trip to Disney World for the month of May when I decided to randomly check out some flights for the end of February to California. May was too far away and with all the promotions of the Diamond Celebration - I just checked Southwest airfares for fun. We found a great deal so I booked the flights right away for Sunday, February 28th to Friday, March 4th. It's very hard to find direct flights from Milwaukee, WI to Los Angeles, CA so I was pumped!
So who are we??
My name is Mindy. I'm 28 years old and work as a tax analyst. Super fun right?? I needed this trip for two reasons. One - I recently graduated with my MBA! Two - I lost my dad to suicide at the end of October 2015 so it's been a really rough few months for my family. There's more about that in the PTR, including a random weekend quick getaway to WDW, and there is more to come ahead about how I was able to have some great memories with something he loved while we were on our trip.
Some of my favorite Disney things include Pirates of the Caribbean, fun flavored lemonades, Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin, and meeting characters!
My husband is also 28 and it's kind of hard to explain what he does so just know that he works at a desk job too. He's been really stressed out about work lately so this trip was so needed for him.
Some of his favorite things are Jungle Cruise, dole whips, Monster's Inc., and anything Star Wars related.
We booked a standard room at the Disneyland Hotel. We wanted to go big on this trip since we are hoping to start a family now. We had five day park hoppers and a good chunk of money set aside for food and souvenirs - we didn't want to have to say "no" to ourselves this time around! (I will post all souvenir pics at the end.)
So come on and join the fun! There's plenty of awesome up ahead.
