It sounds like her sister is awesome to be giving her such an incredible graduation/birthday celebration.She also loves shoes, spending time with friends, and going on vacations where her sister foots the bill.
I know it has been said several times, but this trip just seems epic! I can't wait to read all about it. I'm glad you're back on the DIS and sharing the story with us!However, this was going to be no ordinary trip. Not only were we going to celebrate her graduation, we would also be celebrating her birthday at Disney for the second time. The more I thought about it, the more spectacular and wonderful things I kept adding onto the trip. Rather than one week at Disney, why not two? If we're attempting our first split stay, why not stay at four different resorts? I added a dinner show. I signed us up for a tour. I decided another trip to that “other” Orlando theme park was in order. And so on, and so on.
Ok, it has been a while since the PTR. You did say she doesn't like meeting characters, right? I hope you at least managed to maybe have a few where she looks a little more enthusiastic.A few less-than-enthusiastic character interactions:
And we never forget the classics!
Um... this wasn't supposed to happen.and one trip to the urgent care (wait, how did that sneak in there?!).
I'm looking forward to it!I can’t wait to tell you all about it!
Following along - sounds like it was an action packed trip!
I'm here!
This should be fun!
Hi Jenny!
I think we'd get along just fine.
Okay! Okay! No real Annas... check.
Happy to be here! Can't wait!
Stayed at two out of the four.
Usually I just say "never been", so that's a big deal for me.
Less than enthusiastic???? But... but... but... it's Ariel!!!!
Do NOT cross these girls!
Great shot!
Uh, oh.
Sounds like it's going to be one heck of a TR! I can't wait!
Hello there stranger!!! Hard to believe that I've been away from the Dis so long and yet somehow managed to make it on page one of your new TR! I was so overwhelmed at the thought of catching up on all the TRs/PTRs that I was so far behind in. But... I'm not behind on this one so maybe this will be my jump back onto the Dis Looking forward to hearing all about this!!!
Definitely along for the ride! The pics look awesome! Can't wait for the rest!
Yay! You started! Can't wait!
I'm here and SO glad to see you back on here! Can't wait to hear all about this epic trip!
Hi Jenny! I'm here!! I can't wait to read along about your trip with your sister!! I'm hoping to do a trip in October 2016 with just me and my little sister (I'm 14 years older than she is), so I will be taking notes!!
Hi! (Is your name anywhere on the DIS? I can't find it in you trip report!)
(Yes, I've been lurking on your latest trip report. I'll officially join in this weekend once I get through more than the introduction -which was AWESOME, by the way!)
Fun! Which two?
She doesn't have anything against Ariel per se... she just doesn't like meeting characters in general. (She was a bit out of luck, though... I made her meet several! )
Thanks for the heads up on your report! I have not been "DIS"ing much lately due to being really busy at work (my usual time for reading reports! LOL!) but I will have to go back and read everything tonight on this one! SO EXCITED to read and see everything!

Yay! You started! I've been dying to hear about your adventures!
Thanks for the heads up. Super swamped at the moment, but I'll be back later to read and reply. I've been looking forward to this TR for a long time!!!!
Following! Sounds like a super fun trip!
Looking forward to reading all about your trip!
Thanks for letting me know you started! Can't wait to read more!
I'm here! And I can't wait to read (hear?) all about it!
I'm so excited to follow along! I've been a creepy lurker for awhile on other trip reports, and this time I think I'll stop being so weird. You might be the coolest sister ever!!! Can't wait to hear about this trip!
So now you are torturing us...LOL...we need more...ok, the impatient soul that I am needs more! Darn real life is probably getting in the way of updates...hate when that happens.

Hey thanks for the heads up!! My DIS time has been severely limited lately..but I can't wait to catch up and read about your trip...it sounded so amazing in your PTR...I can't wait to hear about the real thing!
I'm so excited you're finally getting started! I can't wait to read more!
Hi ! Following along! What an amazing graduation trip for your sister! Can't wait to read all about it!
Kelly
I'm joining in! Can't wait to hear all about it!
Yes it is!
Once.
And a few.... a very few... know what it is.
Thanks! I'll see you over there!
It's a mighty short list of resorts I've/we've stayed at.
POR, ASMu and POP.
I guess you'll just have to remain nameless.
Nothing wrong with that! My on-site resort list consisted of a whopping two (ASMu and POR) prior to all these sister trips. I have a feeling the snowball has started rolling down the hill...
Hey, it was my trip, too!
Yup, sounds about right.It wasn’t too bad – I was only up until one o’clock!
Haha, well, I guess she's excited. I can't wait to see the upcoming reactions.Here is reveal #1:
So... you did all this impressive, highly detailed, top secret planning for months.She was packed and ready to go… her sister? Not so much. (It wasn’t too bad – I was only up until one o’clock!
After seeing the first video, I think this will work out to be a good strategy.I created a stack of envelopes with a fancy reveal document inside - one for each of the four resorts. Starting the night before our adventure, she would open the first envelope to reveal the name of our first resort. This process would be repeated for the subsequent resorts.
(Did anyone catch the moment 34 seconds in? For just a fleeting moment I think she may have had another resort in mind. Little did she know… )
Yes, I'm sorry! I realize the first post wasn't really very exciting for those that were following on the PTR!
(Assuming the video thing cooperates, I will have a small update this evening, but the big start of the trip report will have to wait until the weekend!)
How is your adorable daughter? I hope Ryann is letting her mommy and daddy get some sleep!
To say I was excited was a MASSIVE understatement.
Yup!Did anyone catch the moment 34 seconds in?
