Hi! And welcome to my third Trip Report here on the DIS. Links for the first two I wrote are in my signature line if you are interested. Unfortunately I messed up the pictures on the Tiger Lady one when I reorganized my Photobucket account. Im slowly fixing them but its going to take a while before I get it back to normal.
For those of you who are new, let me introduce myself. My name is Ariana, Im 40 years old and live outside of Atlanta, GA. My love for Disney started almost 37 years ago when my Great Aunt and Uncle took me to WDW at the age of 2 ½. This last trip was my 11th to WDW. I havent made it to any of the other Disney parks but Disneyland is definitely going to happen in the next five years.
Joining me on this trip was my husband, Jim, who is not a Disney Fan. The last time he was at WDW was for our honeymoon 15 years ago. I wrote a mini TR about our Honeymoon trip in the PTR for this trip. Its located here if you want to read it:
Celebrate Good Times, Come On! An Oct 2013 PTR
This trip was meant to celebrate both my 40th birthday which was in August and our 15th wedding anniversary which was the week before we left for the trip.
We dont have any kids, just three of the furry variety.
Sierra, shes a 3 year old Schnauzer and the love of Jims life.
Alex, hes 7 and a Schnauzer mix. His Mom was a pure bred Schnauzer and Daddy was unknown. Hes definitely a mamas boy and is almost always in the same room I am in.
And last but certainly not least, my baby Eddie. He is 12 years old and also a Schnauzer. I have the worse time getting pictures of him because of his coloring so this picture is a bit old. You will notice he only has one eye in the picture. Well about a year ago he lost the other one (both had to be removed due to Glaucoma) so he is now completely blind.
In the PTR I wrote the following about each of us:
Me:
1. Favorite Character: Pluto, Pluto and Pluto! I have loved Pluto since before I can actually remember. I have an entire room in my house dedicated to him.
2. Favorite Park: Magic Kingdom all the way. I could sit down on a park bench on Main Street and never move for the rest of my life. Well, I might have to go visit some rides and shows once in a while.
3. Favorite Ride: I am a ride lover at heart. Id rather be on a ride at Disney than any other place. Im not much into character greets or parades. Pirates of the Caribbean, Soarin, Expedition Everest, and Toy Story Mania are probably my favorite at each park. But it tends to change.
4. Favorite Restaurant: A tie between Coral Reef and Rose & Crown Pub. Be Our Guest has now been added to the mix.
5. Favorite Disney Movie: This one is hard for me as I love pretty much all of the Disney Movies. If forced to pick one, I would say Lion King but I love all of the ones from that era, Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin and Lion King.
Jims Favorites (these are going to be mostly guesses on my part):
1. Favorite Character: Donald Duck. He also likes Ariel, Kida (bonus points to anyone who can name that movie without looking it up) and Remy from Ratatouille.
2. Favorite Park: No idea. Since he is not much of a Disney fan, Im not sure he really loves any of the parks.
3. Favorite Ride: If I asked him, he would probably say the Hall of Presidents. He is not a thrill ride junky like me so Im not sure what I will get him on this trip. Definitely not TOT and I think hes going to take one look at EE and run the other way.
4. Favorite Restaurant: He only had one restaurant from our Honeymoon that he remembers and wants to eat at again. That was 50s Prime Time. So I guess thats his favorite for purposes of this TR.
5. Favorite Disney Movie: Ratatouille. Not sure why he loves it so much but he watched it three times when I was home visiting my Mom in July.
So were my guesses right for Jim? Stay tuned to find out!
A few more details about the trip before I get the ball rolling:
Dates: October 19th 26th, 2013
Resort: Coronado Springs
Dining: Free! Regular Dining
Oh and one more thing, the trip title. I think that will become self explanatory as the TR progresses.
