No Boys Allowed!
Hello and thanks for joining my trip report. I have always wanted to write one of these, which is why it is on my bucket list you will see below. We will be in the World from May 6th-11th. This is our second girl’s only trip, the first being during my CP in 2011. Below you will see my pre-trip report, followed by the full report, dining and all, when we return! But first, let me introduce the attendees and our plans.
Me
My name is Krista and I am a 24 year-old full-time librarian and part-time Disney vacation planner for my friends and family. I have been visiting every year for about the past 10 years, with a few visits before that, and I worked as a CM during the spring 2011 CP as an attractions hostess at Peter Pan’s Flight and It’s a Small World. My hobbies include reading books, trading pins, and watching sports (Go Dayton Flyers!) My favorite Disney restaurant and meal is Tusker House breakfast and my favorite attraction used to be the Maelstrom, may he rest in peace. You will also see pictures from the trip taken with my Canon EOS Rebel T5.
My sister
Lauren is a 27 year-old student finishing up her doctorate in psychology. She and her husband reside in Kentucky. She is recently married, and also has a Disney addiction. Her husband prefer trips every 3 years, while she thinks once a year is better…thus a girls only trip was born. Her hobbies include playing with her 3 year-old Australian Shepherd dog, talking to me on the phone about planning trips to Disney, and watching Cincinnati sports teams. Her favorite Disney restaurant Tangerine Cafe is and her favorite ride is Splash Mountain. She is not much of a picture taker, but is a fan of posing for them.
My mom
Jenny is a part-time pediatric nurse from Ohio. She has been married for 30 years to my dad, and has a son and two amazing daughters, if I do say so myself. She first visited the world in the 70s as a child, and has been hooked ever since. Her hobbies include scrapbooking, taking pictures, and planning trips. Her favorite Disney restaurant is Be Our Guest and her favorite attraction is Rockin’ Rollercoaster. The majority of pictures you will see posted throughout the trip will be from her Canon 70D.
Our Plans
We are taking this trip without any of our men, which explains the title. We will be staying 5 nights in a garden view room at Port Orleans French Quarter. We are usually moderate-level hotel people, and we stayed here last year and really enjoyed it. Our favorite however, is Riverside.
