Hello, and welcome to my September Trip!! This was a special trip in many ways, despite things trying to go wrong. But before we get going, let me introduce us to you.
Myself- Tim, 27
I was the instigator and planner of this trip, as a long time fan of Theme parks, movies and travel in general, plus I love planning things. Having always been a Disney fan, this was one of those, Hey, why not trip ideas. I am also a Huge Star Wars fan, and you will see that as we go.
My sister Rachel, 25
My Sister, Rachel, is actually the main reason I planned this trip. She had just moved away to New York City, and we wanted to do something together. She is a HUGE Harry Potter fan and also loves Disney. Both of us also consider ourselves foodies, and love the restaurants at Disney.
Originally this was just going to be the two of us, as a Brother Sister trip. My parents were going to be celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary and do something else, but when they saw all my planning and fun, they decided to come as well, though on a slightly different schedule. Back to that in a minute, here are my parents.
My dad Tim, 53
My dad is also a travel lover, and especially a train lover. He loves movies of all types and owns his own home theater, complete with popcorn machine. He has also always been, for as long as I can remember, a commando tourist in any trip we did. We mellowed him a bit, but it still got going some.
My Mom Patty, 50
My mom turned 50 on this trip, which was another thing to celebrate. She also had to have foot surgery only a month before the trip, which of course limited he mobility. She could walk and stand a bit, but not as much as you need for a week at Disney, so we rented her and ECV for the whole stay, which worked out great.
My parents left on August 30 and went down to visit family in Florida before heading to Disney on September 5, leaving on the morning of the 14th. They were staying at Port Orleans Riverside in a Royal room.
My sister and I flew down on September 7 and left on the morning of the 17th. We stayed at Port Orleans French Quarter. This trip report will be about my Sister and I, though obviously my parents joined us during the overlap.
We had all done a family trip to Disney in January of 2012, and had a blast, so I knew what to expect planning this trip, but there were still a few surprises in store. Come and join us for the fun!
