Hello everyone! I've been debating about whether or not I want to commit to a full on trip report for our upcoming trip, but I've been reading everyone else's and I'm convinced now! Based on the other pre-trip reports I've read, I'm starting this kind of late in our planning game... because we'll be there next Saturday! So let's jump into this!
Who:
Me, MississippiBelle, your lovely 23 year old ghost host, recent college grad (can I say that after a year and a half?), residential designer in the great state of Mississippi
W, the 18 year old little brother, my travel adventure companion for all 14 of our Disney vacations together, budding photographer (you'll probably see mostly his pictures in the full report), graduating high school in May
Mom and Dad, both turned 50 this year, have a tendency to disappear and take loving couple photo pass pictures without W and I (my brother and I started calling ourselves the orphans after 10 couple pictures showed up on the photo pass reel after the last trip), discovered and grossly overuse the selfie
I discovered when attempting to compile this PTR that no one actually has any of our group Disney shots (and consequently only full group shots we ever take) saved on their phones and I won't be at my parent's house to access the hard drive before the trip, so no pics of us till the trip report!
When & Where:
October 22 - 28, 2016 at the Beach Club Resort!
Why:
As I mentioned before in my overly long description of my family, both of my parent's turned 50 this year! It has long been my mom's wish to go to Food and Wine Festival, but with W and I both still in school a mid-fall vacation at the length we normally take for Disney trips was out of the question. Now that I'm graduated with vacation days ready to burn and W is a senior with the college acceptance letter of choice in his hand and a bad case of senioritis, we are ready to go! We'll probably tack on W's graduation celebration while we are at it. And I turned 23 in June.... so why the heck not?
I'll save the plans for another post since I've probably put at least 8 people to sleep with the first installment. I was in charge of all the planning this year (totally not in an attempt to sob story our way into a room upgrade... I've only mentioned my parent's birthday 3 times on the phone to cast members.... It's casual) and I know you're already so excited to drag yourself through another novel by yours truly! No worries, friends, with a little pixie dust and a strong drink we'll all get through this together.
