Hello and welcome to my first, and hopefully not my last, trip report!
My PTR from this trip can be found here!
I have been lurking on TRs for a long time and right when I found my first one I knew this was something I needed to do for my next trip, which just so happens to be the one I'm writing about right now! A little background on this trip...
I have been itching for a LONG time to take a trip with my friends for Disney, and with graduation coming up, I knew this would be the perfect opportunity! One thing led to another and I ended up being able to plan a 3 day trip with my friends from my high school! It started out being with myself, 3 of my friends who graduated last year, and one of my friends who is graduating with me. Over an unfortunate series of events 2 of those friends weren't able to make it. So it ended up being me and 2 of my friends who are both freshmen in college, as well as dating. Since we are all on college schedules (my high school isn't a typical high school - we run on a college schedule) we were able to go at a time where there was pretty much no one there. We went from May 4-8 and stayed at All Star Sports. Since we are all full time students, we were all on a pretty strict budgets, so there were no fancy restaurants, fancy hotels, or park hopping. However, I did invest in a Memory Maker because I was able to use it for this trip as well as the trip my sister and I are taking for 24 HOUR DAY!! We definitely took advantage of the Memory Maker, so expect a lot of PhotoPass pictures! We had an absolute blast and got everything we wanted done and more! I am so excited to be able to relive the trip by writing about it here!
Okay enough background, lets get to the introductions!
First, there's me, otherwise known as Meaghan. I have been going to Disney at least once a year (usually way more than once - this trip is my third this year - oops) since I was 2 years old!
I was the commander on this trip. My friends trusted me to lead them, and lead them I did. I had a plan and thanks to that plan (and a lot of help from FastPass+) we were able to go on everything with little to no wait. Now, time for some favorites...
Favorite Parks: MK, EPCOT, HS, and AK, in that order.
Favorite Rides: Space, Test Track, Jungle Cruise, and I'm pretty sure Mine Train is on this list even though I haven't technically been on it yet...
Favorite Movies: MARY POPPINS. And Frozen, of course!
Favorite Characters: MARY POPPINS (refer back to previous question) and Minnie Mouse. Elsa and Anna too, although I've only braved that line once!
Favorite Restaurants: Be Our Guest, and La Cantina
Favorite Shows: CTM, Fantasmic, Illuminations, and a new addition to the list, FESTIVAL OF FANTASY!!!
Nest are my friends Denise and Deon.
They have been dating for a couple of years, and this was their first time at Disney together. I was afraid that I was going to be a major third wheel, but it was totally not like that at all. This trip reminded me why we're such good friends and I'm glad to have friends like them Denise has never stayed on property before, so even staying at the All Stars was very exciting for her. The last time Deon went to Disney he went with his baby brother, so there were a lot of fun rides (like Soarin' and Test Track) that he had never been on before! There were a lot of firsts for both them on this trip. I didn't get their favorites so we're all just going to have to be in the dark on that one.
Now that those introductions are settled, I'll give a little recap...
Who: Myself, Denise, and Deon
What: A 3 day Disney trip to EPCOT, AK, and MK
When: May 4-8 2014
Where: All Star Sports
Why: My graduation!! CLASS OF 2014!!
And that's the intro DONE! On to the trip! I hope you guys enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing & living it!
