Hello fellow trip report readers! Coming up, a story of last minute plan changes, heat, hurricane scares, heat, trying out new restaurants, heat, and days we never used a Fastpass! If you'd like to delve in to all the gory details of how this trip came to be, check out my PTR in my signature.
In a nutshell, last Christmas my cousin and I started talking about our 2019 WDW trip and how we wanted to take another cousin with us (she's a Disney Parks virgin). She unfortunately is dealing with chronic medical issues and couldn't come but a friend of ours could and so the planning began!
Some introductions:
Me! I'm Leah and this was my 4th trip to WDW, after 2 trips in 2018 and a semi-disastrous family trip as a child. Now I'm an addict and I have 2 more trips in the works. I own a pet sitting/dog walking business and I'm a Certified Veterinary Technician (veterinary nurse). I live in Minneapolis, MN with my 3 dogs, 1 cat, and 2 parrots, and I'm lucky my mom is willing to stay with them all while I travel! There's no way I could ever pick a favorite Disney movie and some of my favorite characters are Belle, Dug, Eeyore, Pluto, and Chewbacca. I'm a huge Star Wars fan and I was actually named after Princess Leia.
Our Disney trip expert and planner is my Cousin, who I'll call DC. She's been to WDW a bazillion times and does an awesome job planning our trips. She's also the person who got me addicted to these trips She had her work cut out for her with all the last minute changes to this trip!
Finalizing our trio is a good friend of DC's and now a good friend of mine, who I'll call DF. She's been to WDW before but not for about 3 years. We were excited to show her Pandora and Toy Story Land!
This trip was originally planned for Sept. 3rd-9th, 2019 and we booked the Magic Your Way deal in a standard room at the Contemporary with the regular dining plan. We wanted the extra bed so no one would have to share and we always get a good value from the dining plan because we like to eat!
I had a few things I really wanted to accomplish on this trip:
Visit Toy Story Land in the dark
Visit Pandora in the dark
Have my first dole whip
See Happily Ever After
Buy a spirit jersey
Attend MNSSHP
See Illuminations during our La Hacienda dinner
Visit my friends the manatees
Walk the animal trails at Animal Kingdom
How much did we manage? Follow along to find out!
Next Up- will we even make it to Orlando. Go away Dorian!
