:welcome: to my solo TR. This trip has been in the works since my 2007 Disneyland / SoCal trip...nah...I'm not an over planner...not me. :sad2: The last time I was in 'the World' was the mid 80's...all that existed then was Magic Kingdom & Epcot (HEY!!! When did I get THAT old???) I thought it was about time to go back. I'm more of a SoCal / Disneyland kinda gal when I travel (I have several friends & family there and I :love: the weather there so much better)...but I feel like I'm missing something being a huge Disney lover and never having seen Studios or AK...so off I'm going.

Cast: Me in 07 @ the petting zoo in Disneyland ( I like to call this one 'The Sequal to Men Who Stare at Goats: The Woman Who Poses with Goats')

I cannot wait to stay here...this will be my very first time staying on site @ Disney...I stay off site when in Disneyland. For this trip, I recieved a 35% off PIN :woohoo: I chose this hotel for a few reasons 1) The PIN made it very affordable 2) It was the only Mod that had an alternative transit system to shake things up a bit (boat to DTD) 3) It appears to have to most compact layout so I won't have to hike to get anywhere in the resort (gonna do enough hiking @ the parks - right?)

When: Sept. 18th - Sept. 27th I wanted to make sure to give myself plenty of time to tour the parks.

Dining: I will be on the Quick Service Dining plan (paid OOP for this).

Transportation: Flying in, flying out, not renting a car and relying totally on Disney transportation.

What I'm Celebrating: One year Smoke FREE!!! :goofy:

Tentative Schedule, some things are solid due to reservations...while others will leave me the opportunity to change my mind if need be due to weather or what ever:

Arrival Day 18th: Plan to eat @ Wolfgang Puck Express. And will be catching La Nouba in the evening.

With some shopping in between. Where I will buy this!

This will be (by far) the MOST I have ever spent on a purse in my LIFE!!! But - I - must - have - this - purse!

19th: Epcot

20th: Animal Kingdom & park hop somewhere

21st: Magic Kingdom, with an OOP ADR @ Chef Mickey's for breakfast, and a ticket to MNSSHP that nite.

22nd: Animal Kingdom, Park hopping somewhere when I'm done.

23rd: Disney Hollywood Studios with another OOP ADR @ 50's Prime Time Cafe for lunch.

24th: Epcot

25th: Magic Kingdom with my last OOP ADR at Crystal Palace for lunch.

26th: Disney Hollywood Studios, check out the Boardwalk, and Park hop to somewhere of my choosing.

27th: Early flight home.

Who dares to jump through the rabbit hole with me of the hecticness that is the last bit of preparing & planning that all obsessed planners go thru???


 
On the 12th Day Til Disney, here's what I did today...
Took an inventory of all the personal items I've bought over the past few months to make sure nothing has been forgotten. How on earth I wound up with 6 bottles of sanitizer gel, 3 tubes of toothpaste, and 4 containers of Ice Breakers mints...but completely forgot to buy an extra battery & memory stick for my video camera is beyond me. :confused3 Obviously I was subconcsiously paranoid about germs and offending others with odiferous breath...at least now I'll be completely set to be germ free & will have minty fresh breath!
 
On the Eleventh Day Til Disney - Here's What I Did Today...

I have two Dogters that will be in the care of my parents while I'm away, today I bought their dog food, treats, and refilled my oldest's prescription & took everything over to my folks' place so everything is set & ready to go for them...including instructions, phone numbers, etc. ...my girls are not just dogs...they are a part of my furmily some people make fun that I care for them like most people care for their children.

And as you can see...they are BIG kids...betcha were expecting little purse sized dogs in little dresses, weren't ya??? L - R Chloe & Hailey
