Hey guys, long time no TR!
If you've been following my long running PTR you're probably more up to date. Basically last year like everyone else I ended up cancelling all my planned trips. We did go to Denver for a bit when the cases were very low, but it was planned really last minute, and didn't look much like our regular trips. We planned to go to Disney/HHN in Sep this year (and still do), but when restrictions started lifting earlier than I thought they would I decided to plan another trip to Disney & Universal!
For those who haven't read any of my past TR's let me introduce myself...
My name is Raeven. I'm 28, and I'm the planner, photographer, and TR writer for our trips. I love Halloween Horror Nights, Harry Potter (I'm a Slytherin), music, horror movies, taking pictures, good food, the show Supernatural, theme parks, and beating Josh at Men In Black.
Oh...and snuggling baby goats. But who doesn't?
This is my trip partner and boyfriend of 7 years, Josh:
He's 35. He likes boxing, horror movies, roller coasters, comedy podcasts, coffee, delicious gluten free food, and apparently posing like this M&M.
A little background: We took our first Disney/Universal trip in September 2015. After that trip we agreed we definitely wanted to go back every year. We've been AP holders at Universal ever since (with a brief break last year), and have been going to HHN ever since HHN 25.
We went from Friday May 7th-Sat the 15th. We stayed at Endless Summer-Dockside, the Hard Rock in Tampa, Gran Destino, and Royal Pacific. (Part of the moving around had to do with availability since we booked and then added days later on). The first few days was a mix of activities (we spent time at DS, Citywalk, Disney parks, Tampa, and did baby goat yoga). Then we spent 2 more days at Disney, and 3 at Universal.

Stay tuned if you want to hear about:

- What baby goat yoga is like
- Which hotel has the best choice of cable channels
- What we did in Tampa
- What weird thing we saw a man pull out of his pocket in Hollywood Studios
- Epcot's Flower & Garden
- Who won at Men In Black this trip
- & what the longest line of our trip was
Just like on past trips I vlogged and will be posting those vlogs on Wednesdays and Fridays. I'll also share the links on here. I think we got a lot of footage, although the first vlog is a little chaotic due to the travel.
Also yes I stole the title of this TR from Lost. I used to watch Lost all the time in high school, and for some reason I thought of Jack yelling that when I was thinking of a title.
If you want to look back on the planning for this trip my PTR is here:
