Yes, folks, you read that correctly! It has been almost a year since our last trip to Disney and I'm just now getting around to telling you all about it!
So let's get this party going!
When: 10/17/17 - 10/28/17
Where: Disney's Old Key West Resort
Who: Ali (me) and my husband, Lumar. And a couple of surprise guests later on
Why: Does anyone really need a reason to go to Disney? NO! But we were actually going to be celebrating our 2nd wedding anniversary while we were here
Here's us:
Prior to this trip the last time we were in Disney was October 2013 and we got engaged! We got married in 2015 and weren't able to get back to Disney until 2017 - the longest 4 years of my life, including high school. In 2013, Magic Bands were just becoming a thing, and the MDE app was in its infancy. Oh, and there was no FP+ system...you still had to get paper FPs at the parks by running as fast as you could to the ride entrance at rope drop. The Seven Dwarfs Mine Train was still being built and Disney Springs was still Downtown Disney. The Passporter, that I had relied on for so many trips was now digital only - no more actual book for me to bring with me and serve as our WDW Trip Bible! So a lot had changed in 4 years and I was mildly panicked about figuring it all out.
Thankfully I managed and we had an amazing trip, complete with a pretty cool surprise towards the end! Although, as with every trip, I somehow manage to not take notes once we're like halfway through so I have to use my pictures to try and remember/guess at what we did. But let's face it, most of us read TRs just to see pictures anyway, right?
Chapter links are in the next post!
