I feel like this keeps happening to me! I start a PTR, go to Disney, take a bunch of notes, and pictures, and when I get home, I NEVER post the TR!!!
Actually, that's a lie, I did finish one TR before it you would like to check that one out, it's here
Back to where I was, I am determined to finish this TR, it's also a shorter trip. So hopefully I will actually do what I say!!
Let the PTR begin!
This trip has a very small cast compared to how many people I've gone with before....
First, there's me of course
Name: Jessica
Age: 19
Trips to WDW: over 100 and counting!
Favorite Park: Hollywood Studios
Favorite Character: Ariel
And the other is my best friend
Name: Daniel
Age: 19
Trips to WDW: 50 ish
Favorite Park: Hollywood Studios
Favorite Character: Gaston
and that's it.. usually our trips have like anywhere from 5-12 people, so going just the two of us is kinda weird...
Being that we are both college students, and this trip was planned VERY last minute, we couldn't afford to stay on property. So we found a hotel near Old Town about 3 miles away from Disney's main gate. We both rarely ever stay off property, seeing as my family are DVC members. But we wanted to be adults and do this ourselves, so we opted for the cheaper hotel. (we are never really in the hotel anyways, we just needed beds to collapse on at night haha)
Now for the most exciting part, why we are going. Well being passholders, we get the Mickey Monitor, and the most recent one had a villain theme to it. It showed that on Friday the 13, the Villains will be at Hollywood Studios from 8-1 am. Daniel and I love the villains, and we rarely ever get to meet them. So we decided we HAD to go.
It is also very convenient that the weekend we are there marks our 4 year friend- iversary, (4 years since we became best friends) we always celebrate it, because our friendship is very important to us. Without each other we have no idea how our lives would be. So we will be celebrating in the best way ever, at WDW!
For our special dinner like we always do, we wanted to go somewhere we never go. We always go to Raglan Road, Planet Hollywood, and Beaches and Cream. Well I suggested Boma this year. He has never gone and I've only gone once when I was younger. We are foodies, so we love all food. We have reservations for Boma on Saturday the 14, for 4:50 PM. It's kinda earlier than we would like, but it was either that or 8 pm, thats too late. We want to catch the fireworks at MK that night. We are so excited to eat there!
Right now our plans are this:
Friday:
Leave around 8:30 am, stop in Port St. Lucie at Cracker Barrel (We live in Ft. Lauderdale, so this is our halfway point). Eat there
Probably arrive to our hotel by noon. See if we can check in, if not, go to Animal Kingdom to ride the few rides we like there. If we can check in, check in and then go to Animal Kingdom.
Then go back to the hotel, change for the Special Villain night, we will be Disney Bounding that night: if you don't know what that is, it is dressing like a Disney character, but by wearing normal clothes. You wear something in the same color scheme and wear accessories that hint at the character. For example, I'm dressing like Ursula, so I'm wearing black shorts, a white shirt with a purple tank top under it. And a shell necklace. Daniel is going as Gaston, so he's wearing a maroon shirt, black pants and boots. We thought it would be really fun especially to take pictures in
Once we're dressed, go to Beaches and Cream to eat the grilled cheese and tomato bisque (it's a tradition) than off to HS for our fun night with the villains!
That's all I can post for now, I'll post the rest later! Hope you like it
