Hello!
I love reading here and I love the Trip Reports! I am fairly new to this site. I have been reading for a while, but just recently signed up, and I thought this would be a good way to introduce myself to everyone.
We will be traveling to the World May 24-27, 2013. It's just me and DH this time! Here we are on our last trip in November 2012:

I've been going to Disney my whole life. My parents even took me to Disneyland at 3 weeks old for my newborn pics. Here's a special moment with Goofy:

Anyway. DH went for the first time in March 2010. He's been four times since then and loves it also (though not nearly as much as I do!).
This Trip will be to celebrate our one year anniversary!

Though it is a couple weeks early, we figured we would take advantage of the holiday weekend and not have to take an extra day off of work. We decided to fly down because we got a good deal on tickets and it was only going to be about $200 more to fly than drive! Well worth the money to not have to take an extra day off and deal with the stress of driving! We'll be staying at POP Century (our first time here and only my third time staying on property) and opted not to do the dining plan this time as we plan to share a lot of meals (we aren't big eaters). We have a four day MYW base ticket.
Here's the plan for the weekend:
May 24th - Get up EARLY and get to the airport. Flight lands at MCO around 8:30am. Hop on DME (another first!) and head to POP. Once we get checked in we'll head to Hollywood Studios for the day. My only requests are Beauty and the Beast (we missed this last time and it's a fave!) and Fantasmic (the song is my ringtone, so you know I love it!). Other than that we'll just play it by ear.
May 25th - Animal Kingdom. Up and early for EMH and straight to the safari! I'd love to be able to do all the shows and a few of the rides. We'll probably head out early and hit the Boardwalk (another first!). I want to have a late lunch/early dinner at Beaches and Cream if we can. I'd like to make it to DTD and go to DisneyQuest for a little while. We've never been and we have free passes, so we'll probably end the night at DTD with some shopping and hopefully to bed fairly early. Because...
May 26th - Magic Kingdom. We have ADR's for 7:15am for Breakfast at Chef Mickeys! DH has never done this one and I am super excited about it! We should be done in enough time to walk over to MK for the opening show and rope drop. We'll head straight back to Fantasy Land and Enchanted Tales with Belle. We didn't get to do this in November and I really want to, but I don't want to wait forever for it. We'll take it easy this day and head back the resort for a mid-afternoon break to check out the resort and maybe swim. Then back to MK for MSEP and Wishes. MK has EMH until 3:00am I think, so we'll probably stay for a while, but I don't want to be out all night!
May 27th - EPCOT. The park doesn't open until 9:00am this day, so we'll be able to sleep in a little/get packed and checked out and then head over and make the most of our last day. My only big thing I want to do here is the new Test Track. We'll have to be headed back to the resort around 3:00pm to catch DME for the trip home. We'll be back in our own home by 10:00pm if everything goes accordingly.
It's such a short trip, but I am super excited about it, as this is the first time it will be just the two of us at Disney. We've always gone with my family in the past. DH's Birthday is the Thursday we get home, so we'll be celebrating that as well as our anniversary.
Hope you'll enjoy reading along and I really can't wait to share our trip when we get back!
