Starring: a whole bunch of DISboarders!

UPDATE MAY 2019: The Epic Trip is now over but you can re-live all of our amazing experiences on our individual TRs! Did we stick to our plan? What surprises were thrown in? Who got pixie-dusted? and who ended up looking like a drowned rat? Find out the answers to those burning questions and more!


Here is a list of Trip Reports that we know of so far, courtesy of @Lesley Wake who compiled them in her TR!

Other titles of this PTR considered: The DISBoard Girls Trip (boring) or The No Steves Allowed except for Rogers Trip (long story), We're Only Doing This for the Trip Report (because, let's face it, the resulting trip report will be the MOST EPIC TRIP REPORT of all time. It will be the TRIP REPORT to end all trip reports :laughing:), but really, this trip is all about getting a whole bunch of us, who've been mostly DISboard friends for the longest time, out to Disney World together, in person, for one big EPIC girls weekend!

Who's going for sure? Well, we're all working on that! But so far here's the list of incredible ladies who are part of our group and are doing everything possible to make the MOST EPIC TRIP REPORT happen:

@chunkymonkey (me!), my sister Chunkysis, @pepperandchips, @fallonkendra , @amalone1013 , @Elevationist , @IowaTater , @KathyM2 , @Lesley Wake , @buzzrelly , @ArielSRL , @ariane37 , @MeghanEmily , @kastoney , @CatNipRules , @paradesintherain , @Jfsag123 , @cinderkelly , @disneyAndi14 , @StarWarsMomofGirls! , @LindseyJo22 , @missjackiemcg , @Vernie822 , @Jenny Sanders , @Tracy161 , @xlsm @Steppesister , @Monykalyn , @Mollydolly334 , @suse66 , @MissMaryQC , @amazingact21 , @Dugette , @Malia78 , @thumper* and there may be a few others as well...

Some of us have met before, some have not, but regardless of whether we know each other in real life, I think our love of Disney brings us all together!

Pictures and intros to follow! :thumbsup2


When are you going? Many dates were thrown around for 2019, a group poll was taken and it looks like an early May long weekend May 3rd - May 6th works out for most of us. Some of us even have reservations already! :thumbsup2 Some of us will be there for just the weekend, and some for longer. Some will be going down with family, friends, or significant others, but will be joining in on some of the group activities! Some of us may not be able to make it to the festivities but will be there in spirit. :hug:

Is there anything prettier than Epcot during Flower and Garden?

(some limited edition merchandise for Star Wars Day on May the 4th 2017)

How did this trip come about? We have to thank Fallon (@fallonkendra) who started off by posting a "Let's get together in WDW!" comment on Facebook, then getting serious and starting a small Facebook chat with a couple of us DISboarders, then it took off and before you know it, we have a group of around 25 of the most obsessive Disney-planner ladies you'll come across (ok maybe not @kastoney :laughing:). This only means this trip is gonna be the most
perfectly executed Disney Trip in the world...

...and then throw in a massive drinking and eating fest around the world at Epcot during Flower & Garden Festival.

:drinking1:drinking1:drinking1:drinking1:drinking1

Watch out...it may get a little HOT...

Let's see if we can make it through the weekend still intact! :rotfl:

How are we planning it? Well we have a little Facebook group that we're doing most of the planning on, and so far it looks like it's working well for us! We've done some polls, put together a spreadsheet (thanks @pepperandchips!) and even put together a draft itinerary for the weekend (well, I kinda threw some stuff out there and no one has disagreed just yet :laughing:).

Where are you staying? We're keeping that up to everyone! However nice it would be to stay at the same resort, not everyone's budget and preferences will allow it. Some of us will be rooming with others, some may be using DVC points, some of us are Travel Agents and ready and willing to book for the team! We have a lot of resources available to us, and since we're all such experienced Disney planners I'm sure we will make it all work out even though we're coming from all over the country and Canada!

What do you have planned for that weekend? Nothing has been finalized yet as we are still a few months away from making ADRs (in November!), but the idea for the weekend was to do some group meals, and a big eat-and-drink-around-the-world in Epcot for Flower and Garden! That weekend also happens to start out with May the Fourth (Star Wars Day) so a few of us may sneak over to DHS to get our hands on some limited edition merchandise, and it's also Cinco de Mayo the day after, so I think some margaritas and a few orders of Mexico Pavilion's finest nachos is in order. :)

In addition, Avengers 4 also comes out that weekend so some of us were thinking of seeing it as a group. There are so many exciting things that will happen and I don't think we'll ever run out of stuff to do! Who knows, there might be a few characters, maybe a dessert party, a monorail bar crawl, and a couple of surprises thrown in there. :drinking:

If you have any suggestions for a great group activity, please pass them along!

Either way, no matter what we have planned, it is gonna be the most
EPIC GIRLS TRIP ever!

Because:

:disrocks: :disrocks: :disrocks:



What is this PTR for? This PTR is basically to keep everyone up to do date on our latest plans - most of the planning will be done on our FB group, but we really wanted to create a PTR so many of you can follow along too. A lot of us ladies write trip reports on the DIS and so collectively we're gonna write this PTR and TR together! :grouphug:


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Coming up I'll be posting some intro posts! If you'd like to ask us anything, feel free to do so, if you have any questions or comments for a specific person, just tag them in the post using @Username otherwise it'll be only me getting the notification :)

Stay tuned for the longest introduction post ever! :rotfl:

I'm from the NYC/NJ area and love Disney! Apparently I love it so much I've taken to writing about it non-stop when I'm not there! I became an AP holder in 2016 and I've never looked back. My husband Steve and I also bought DVC (Poly is home) in 2017. I planned a big family trip last August for 15 members of my family so I think a few more is just a piece of cake...amiright? LOL. I love food and love to eat so going to Epcot festivals is just icing on the cake. I'm very very excited to make this trip a reality as some of us have talked about it for a long time! Looks like it's finally happening and during my favorite time at Disney (Flower and Garden Festival)! I've met many of these fabulous ladies before and will be meeting others for the first time and I can't wait...it really is going to be EPIC! #dreamsDOcometrue

I despise the outdoors and the heat but don't hesitate to tolerate both for Disney of course. I joined the DIS in 2012 after years of going to WDW with my family as a child and a few trips with my boys and Steve, but with no pre-planning whatsoever up to that point! Now I am lucky enough to get to spend the majority of my time either on the DIS, planning our trips or clients' trips to Disney and other great places! Oh and as some of you know I recently became a Grandma; unbelievable given how young I look

Oh, and I have a brain condition—which I will absolutely use as an excuse for any ride I deem "too intense" (i.e. too scary!)—and also a bunch of silly dietary restrictions. Disney is one of the best places in the world for somebody with my types of restrictions to travel! They're so accommodating and awesome.

Please excuse the inevitable squealing that I'm sure will occur when I get to meet each of you and finally say hi and properly thank you for the hours of help that you've given me in helping plan my trips to my happy place. I love Animal Kingdom, signature dining, the Country Bear Jamboree, sampling every beer that Disney decides to sell, riding the Peoplemover ad nauseum, the WDW "Lodges", forcing other people to sit on the side of the log nearest Splash Mountain's evil waterfall-trap, dark rides, the Burudika Band, and afternoon nap breaks. I write really slow dining reports and am trying my hand at TRs for the first time. I am 99% sure I'm in on the May trip and cannot wait to meet you all!"

"Hi there! I'm Kari, kastoney on the DIS, and no other social media presence because I live in the stone age. I'm a native Washingtonian who as cliche as it gets works for the government in an immensely stressful career. Disney is my happy place and stress reliever, though in very un-dis form I'm not much of a planner. My family and I are all about the food so you'll most often find me in the dining boards talking about drinks, food, and did I mention drinks. Speaking of family I have an amazing hubby who is as Disney obsessed as I and we're raising our own little future Diser who is the highlight of my dining reports. Not sure if I can make the trip (see that whole non-planner thing) but if I can be prepared for a sassy 7 year old to stow away in my luggage. But don't worry her name isn't Steve "

"Hi Everyone! I'm Alyssa!
I stumbled across the Dis when planning my wedding. I was planning a two week Disneymoon, as neither of us had been to WDW... but then we figured, why not have a destination wedding and drag those we love through the parks?
So we did! Currently writing a TR for that. I figured out that APs would make it cheaper to go scout wedding locations... so then we went four times over the year!
I never got to go to the Disney parks as a kid, and even though I secretly wanted to go still, I kind of figured it would be silly as an adult... until my then boyfriend suggested Disneyland for our first vacation in 2015! Then I was hooked We also got engaged on that trip, and have been back there two more times. Most of you I 'met' through the boards when reading TRs and dining reviews when planning our Disneymoon.
You might find me cruising the Nile river (it goes on for niles and niles and niles...) or hanging out where the flowers croon I'm also guilty of wandering World Showcase in search of snacks/drinks from dining reviews, and stopping Zack (my partner in crime) for photos. And if you ask the family, I also schedule bathroom breaks

Zack is known for dragging me through the left side of Space Mountain (or the Matterhorn) over and over each trip, and taking his dad on rides he can't handle! We'll be back in September celebrating our first anniversary!"

My name is Liesa and I call Salem, Oregon home. I am an RN doing post-anesthesia care- a job I love intensely. I’ve loved Disney my entire life and have gone to Disney parks… forever. I was a cast member briefly in college, then took a trip hiatus while my family and I lived and worked in Central Asia. I write the "ABC series Trip Reports" on the DIS and tend to focus of the creative detailing and artistry of the parks and am known to pull off ridiculous (ly fun) stunts such as Drinking My Way Through the Entire Alphabet on a single trip, Shopping Around the World with specific criteria, and making up silly scavenger hunts for myself to photograph. You’ll usually find me in the parks having lost my camera (and found it by some miracle, not once or even twice on a single trip), forgotten to pack underwear, or any other number of doofus moves which makes for more than a few Silly Stories with Steppe. Let’s make some memories, Girls!!!!!!

I'm Glenda and I'm known on the Dis as Thumper. Some of you may know me from my most recent TR. The 999'th Ghost stole my bra. One of my favorite things to do is drink around Disney. I don't have any one favorite character or movie but am pretty partial to the Fab 5 and of course Daisy should be considered the spectacular sixth.
We only make it to Disney every few years with our last visit in December. We weren't planning on returning until 2021 for the big 50'th. Then I got so excited to get a chance to meet so many of my favorite Dissers that I had to plan to attend this Epic girls only trip.
When discussing this with DH he surprised me with how interested he was. It appears that he's fine with me going as long as he can come too. No worriers he won't be attending the girls only meet ups. Maybe he can meet up with the other guys or he'll be fine on his own. Can't wait to get to know you all!

I am from the good ole state of Ohio. If Ohio was a dart board, I would live in the bullseye of it. I have been in love with Disney since my Aunt first took me when I was 15 after I was diagnosed with Cancer! That one trip, and I was addicted. My husband (Reuben) and I JUST celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary last Thursday (October 17th) and I have 3 kids, Jacob (23), Savannah (19), and Trevor (16). They all love Disney as well, but none of them seem to be obsessed like me. I love to craft and sew. I design and make costumes every year for the musical at our junior high and recently have just been hired to do the costumes for a musical production at our local theater. I also dabble in set design and floral design. I am currently a full-time student studying to be a Medical Lab Tech. My last day of class will actually be May 1st and I will be graduating on the Wednesday after I return from this trip. I am feeling a little guilty about leaving the family behind but am looking so forward to this trip.

I was reading the intro post with such concentration that I forgot to do quotes until...

In addition, Avengers 4 also comes out that weekend so some of us were thinking of seeing it as a group.

I didn't even realize it was that weekend! I would for sure be down to watch with everyone... and discuss incessantly afterward.


I'm still undecided, but this makes me really want to just go ahead and commit...
