Hello Humans!
Welcome to my very first trip report! I got back from the World 10 days ago and I know if I don't start this report, I never will. So let's get started!
Who: Me and my Mama!
What: My first Disney trip as a travel agent, I sold my first trip to myself!
When: May 11-15
Why: I wanted to sell myself my first Disney trip and my husband wasn't quite ready to go back, so I texted my mom and said "Hey, want to go to Disney?? Just the two of us?!" And here we are.
I was really excited for this trip because my mom used to take us when we were little and then she would tag along with my sister, her husband and their 2 kids. She would always end up watching the kids or running around the park trying to keep up (my sister and brother in law are ALWAYS running late in Disney, makes me crazy
). So I decided I really wanted to spend some quality time with her And keep it somewhat more relaxed so she could go on everything She wants.
Day 1, May 11: Departure Day
So for some reason I decided it would be a good idea to straighten my hair before leaving for the airport... only giving myself an hour for that and finishing up my packing... needless to say it was a stressful morning lol. My husband came home to pick me up (he starts work super early) at 6am and we didn't get out of the house until 615. A somewhat stressful drive to the Nashville airport in traffic later and finally made it. Checked my bags and got through security in about 20 minutes. By the time I got to my gate I had about 15 minutes to spare (phew! I Hate being late... especially when flying!). So I grabbed a bottle of water and ate my nutritional breakfast.
I wrote some notes for this report and then took a selfie... I always feel weird taking selfies when I'm by myself... sorry it's a weird one lol. And as you can see, I didn't finish my hair.
Shortly after this is was time to board. I LOVE Southwest and every time I fly any other airline I end up regretting it. I was A30 something, so I walk onto the plane and right in the front row is an empty seat! Score!

The woman sitting by the window and I were completely wasting the abundance of leg room, but it was nice to sit up front and I was one of the first people off. As you can see, I could barely reach the wall 
I quick nap later and we were landing in Orlando!!!
Made it to the Fonorail! I LOVE these tiles
Had to stop and take a picture of this handsome guy
Then is was over to DME to meet up with my mama! She flew out of Atlantic City and got to Orlando about an hour before me, but she didn't mind waiting.
The line to scan our bands to get on the bus was LONG, but then we got in a very short line to.... the Contemporary!!!!!
This was the first time either of us had stayed at a deluxe and we've been going to Disney for years. Needless to say we were EXCITED!
We were on the bus by 11:45 and were pulling out at 12 on the dot, so not too bad! I really don't like the new video it's just not as fun/welcoming as the old one was.
All I can say about the ride is, HOLY CONSTRUCTION! There was construction Everywhere! We didn't even get to go under the welcome sign... we had to go around it because of construction.
While going Around the welcome sign, I got an email from Disney that our room wasn't ready yet. (I don't know why they were texting me, my cell is on my account). We figured this might happen, but I was hoping to go to the room to reorganize myself.
We were the second of two stops, just stopping at Wilderness Lodge before heading to...
After grabbing our carry-ons we headed to the front desk first to double check if our room was ready... it wasn't. But I was starving so figured we might as well get some lunch and see if our room was ready after that. So we headed over to Contempo Cafe for our first meal of the trip! Now I didn't get the dining plan for this trip. We both aren't very big eaters so I figured we'd mostly eat ice cream and snacks (I ended up being right ). So we decided on 2 kids burgers with fruit.
So good! The perfect amount of food, plus grapes and apples. This may be the only healthy thing I eat all trip
We enjoyed our meals with this view
After our meal, we checked again at the front desk... room still isn't ready
. It's about 2pm at this point, so I knew it wouldn't be guaranteed but it was still kind of annoying. I had my purse and a backpack filled with a bunch of stuff I didn't want to bring around the parks with me. So I put most of everything in my purse into my backpack and left our stuff with valet. BTW it was HOT today, definitely the hottest of the trip, and now I had to carry around my purse . First world problems.
After this we headed to our first park... we walked to.. can you guess?! I'll post more soon!
