Pre-Trip The "Birthday Extravaganza Trip" PTR

Welcome everyone!

I haven't even finished my last TR, which you can read here and I am already starting my next PTR for my trip next month!

Now as you can all tell from the title, we are celebrating a birthday, well we are actually celebrating 2. My 21st and my mom's the day after! Exciting I know :D We've been planning this trip for a few years now and we are all EXTREMELY excited.

Here are the details:

March 25th- 29th

Boardwalk Villas: 1 Bedroom Villa

ADR's: Spice Table on the 26th, Ohana's on the 27th



Here is the cast of characters:


I'm Jessica, 20, turning 21 on March 27th during this trip :D

I have been to WDW over 100 times in my life. I'm not bragging in any way shape or form lol. I was very fortunate to be raised in South Florida and a mere 3 hours away from WDW. We also became DVC members in 2001 so that just added onto everything and it gave us even better reasons to take trips to WDW.


Next up is my boyfriend, Josh

The picture is Josh and I at a Florida Panthers game, I work on their energy team. My sister works with me, you will meet her soon...


Josh is 23, he has only been to WDW once in his entire life and it was when he was very young. He barely remembers it. My whole family had a heartattack when he told us haha. It's unheard of in my family!


Next on the cast list is my younger sister, Ashley

She's here with a member of the boyband IM5. They have done some Disney parodies before.

She has been to WDW as much as I have and she is known for making some super unattractive faces which you will definitely end up seeing in the actual TR haha


Following my sister are my parents! James and Theresa

This picture is a few years old, but the still look very similar haha. They are the reason we are all so WDW obsessed! They are the ones who made the DVC decision and they paid for our AP's for years.

Here's another picture of my mom from this past Halloween, she stole my custom Ariel ears to wear haha.

Finally for our room is my best friend, Daniel!

16432628025_317e935cc8_o.jpg

This pic is Ashley, Daniel and I with Todrick Hall. If you haven't heard of him, you should really go check him out. He's a YouTube star and also was on American Idol. He's known for his Disney parodies. If you've ever seen "Disney Dudes" that's his creation!

Daniel is 20 right now but will be 21 when we go on the trip. He is my "Twinith" we've been best friends for 5 years. My parents call him their son they never gave birth to. He goes with us all the time to WDW and has appeared in some of my earlier Tr's. He won't be up there until Thursday night of the trip, but he will be a part of it!


We have 4 other people going with us, but they are staying across the Boardwalk at Beach Club so we will see them making appearances at times in the TR.


-----------------------------
No more pictures, be prepared for A LOT of text from here on out.



That is the cast, here are our plans so far. We don't ever really plan we like to play it by ear so these are VERY loose plans.


Wednesday March 25th: Leave SOFLA around 9:30am and hit the Turnpike north. Stop for breakfast/lunch at Cracker Barrel most likely. Arrive at WDW around 1-2pm. Head over to Wal-Mart for some food for the long weekend. Since we have the kitchen we like to actually utilize it.

From there we will check-in and pray the room is ready haha. If it is, bring all the stuff into the room, change and head over to HS.

Thursday March 26th: The only plans for this day are for my Parents and Aunt, they have reservations at Spice Table in Morocco. We will probably end up at AK sometime this day and then MK most likely. Not completely sure.

My cousin Amanda, Ashley, Josh, and I are going to head over to Beaches and Cream for dinner that night. We are obsessed with their grilled cheese haha.


Friday March 27th: MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!! haha. I'm only slightly excited. I want to wake up and make Opening show at MK just to start my Bday on a high note. Then do some stuff around MK. At 10:30 head over to Epcot for WS opening. Daniel is probably gonna be the only one joining me for MK opening.

Once WS is opened we are going to celebrate with my first legal drink. I know where I am having it, my parents do not. They want it to be a surprise when we get there. I want to head over to La Cava Del Tequila in Mexico. That will probably be my only drink during the day. I have no intention on getting drunk on my bday haha.


Once done with that, change into clothes for the night time, head back to MK watch FOF with everyone and ride some rides. At 7pm, hop on the monorail and head to Poly for Ohana's! I will be definitely enjoying a Lapu Lapu that night and stuffing our faces.

Once dinner is done we are heading to Epcot for Nighttime EMH :D.

Saturday March 28th: My moms birthday!!! We only have Florida Resident Seasonal passes, so we are actually blacked out Saturday and Sunday so we have decided to head over to Universal to see Diagon Alley and Wizarding World of HP. Daniel, my cousin and I are OBSESSED with HP and we haven't seen Diagon Alley so we are super excited.

Sunday March 29th: Checkout day :(. Daniel Josh and I are going to head back to Universal and ride some rollercoasters and then head home.


There will obviously be more as we get closer. But that is what I have so far.

If you have ANY suggestions, please share. I need some more exciting different things to do, places to eat, drinks to buy. Stuff like that.

Thank you so much for following along, I can't wait!

We are 43 longgggg days away from the trip. We are actually already planning our F&W fest trip for October. We are thinking of going October 4-11. Staying at either Boardwalk or AKL.

This past weekend I took a very spontaneous trip to the "Dark Side" Universal haha. I just became an AP for them as well. Living only 3 hours away its kind of worth it. Plus I'm a huge Harry Potter freak so I had to see Diagon Alley! Trying to pass the time until this trip is extremely hard. lol.

I did have a question for everyone, what is your favorite drink on property?? I need some help!

Great the way you pimped the magic bands :) alomst there!!!!
Thank you!! I'm so excited! Just one more day of work lol

Love what you have done to the bands. Was there a special type of paint that you used? Have a wonderful time at Disney.
Thanks! :) This time I used just normal acrylic paint and then sealed it all with modge podge. I've used nail polish in the past and that worked pretty well. I'll let you know after the trip how the paint holds up

Well everyone.... I'm home. I've actually been home for almost 3 weeks haha. Life has been crazy, but the hockey season is over for the team I work for so I finally have my nights free. I'm uploading my pictures and will finish editing them. Once I'm done, I'll be able to start and of course I"ll let you all know when I do.

Thanks for being so patient with me
