Pre-Trip The Tale of Two Trips

Well, I was going to wait at least a day to start this, but since some of you have been asking I have decided to start my PTR for my next trip(s) :)
As you can tell by the title I have 2 trips in my future, so I am going to semi-combine them in terms of the PTR, but will separate them by plans!

Trip numero 1:
Who?
From left to right my Mom (Mary), my sister Jill and me (Megan)

When?

Saturday March 11 - Saturday March 18

Where?
I am happy to report we will be staying at the Polynesian! We stayed there briefly on our last trip, but did not get to spend a lot of time there so we are happy to be spending the entire week there! I was happy to get the AP discount again for this, but also it was made more affordable as you will find out in my next section

Why?
For three years I have known I will be taking this trip because for three years I have known the practical part of my boards are in Kissimmee! How lucky is that! All of my fellow residents say it was destiny :) This is the reason the Poly is more affordable because I will get some of my trip paid for by the residency program (flights, part of a hotel, etc). I mean, should I be excited about taking my boards? No....but I am excited to go to Disney :) Originally I was going alone, but then we got the APs and I asked my Mom to come with me so that I could have someone help me study and so that I would not be stuck having to stay with someone else. Then, we asked Jill and she wanted to come as well ! My Dad kindly declined :) He likes Disney, but in small doses!

Trip numero 2
Who?
Back to the usual crew of my Mom and I

When?
Saturday April 1 - Saturday April 8

Where?
The Wilderness Lodge :) When I originally booked this trip I booked POFQ, but WL was actually the same price, so why not!

Why?
Well, I actually take my written boards on April 1 and thats also the start of my last vacation of residency. I am going to Punta Cana with my friends the second week of my vacation, but had nothing to do with my first. I was sitting on a plethora of Southwest points so knew I could get a free flight for my Mom and I so we started looking at all sorts of options. At first we thought...Disneyland or a Disney Cruise! But, then we kept coming back to the fact that we still have our APs and we could have one last AP trip so Disney World it is! Plus, the trip in March will be a little disjointed due to my boards so this will be a good one! We leave Saturday night since I take my boards that day and its an 8 hour exam (although historically it only takes me about 6 to take the exams).

In case anyone is confused by me talking about all these board exams they are because I am a resident in Family Medicine and in order to graduate from residency/be board certified I have 2 more tests to take :)

Next up: first trip plans

Just out of curiosity has anyone ever tried to book a trip and gotten the error message "first name missing" when clearly there is not one missing? This has been happening to me for months now and every time I try online support they tell me to clear my cookies and try again and it still doesn't work. I have tried on my computer (macbook), iPad, phone and work computer (PC) and I still get the same error... :oops:
Hasn't happened to me, but that's weird that it does it on all those devices! The only other thing I can suggest is trying a different browser? But surely it's not a browser thing...Disney would have fixed something like that.

Thank you everyone for all the kind words and support! We had a great trip! I may or may not start my TR before I leave for my next trip. It all depends on how much time I have after getting my studying done for the day (and how long they hold me hostage on my current rotation). I will take all the pixie dust I can get for my written boards...its crunch time for me :) At least packing won't take me too long !
Pixie dust, pixie dust, pixie dust!!! Good luck:happy::happy:

@Doc Disney @Tuvalu - thanks but your killing me - I need to go back and my countdown us still over 200 days! :(

My nephew applied for some "seats on the plane" for a UK TV show with Ant & Dec which is airing live from Magic Kingdom on Saturday but he didn't get lucky - his 11 and really wants to go! I am going to save real hard to see if I can get him there next year.

In the meantime I will be glued to the TV on Sat probably crying as I can't be there - at my home!

Enjoy ladies
