Is this trip expired? *Sniff* Nope, still good.

Hello! I'm doing my first trip report, however it's a trip report from a while ago. Last March to be exact. I always meant to do a trip report (long time reader), but life, ya know? Now as things get crazy and I get stressed out, I thought I'd make a trip report to help unwind. Since it's been a while since the trip, it will be mainly photo based. Hope you enjoy!!


So... to introduce the players.

Me: You can call me D! I'm a 22 year old female (which might be hard to tell from my avatar and username lol). I'm currently finishing up my industrial engineering degree at the University of Oklahoma. Boomer Sooner! I love Mad Men, Downton Abbey, Jennifer Lawrence, Jane Austen, Harry Potter, and the Black Keys. I was 21 at the time of this trip. My first WDW trip was the summer after my freshman year of high school. It was the trip of dreams essentially. I grew up watching commercial of children going to WDW and yearned to be in their shoes. My parent's rule was "when nobody needs an afternoon nap." Well, being the oldest of three children meant I had to wait. I loved that trip so much that when my parent's asked what I wanted to do for my high school senior trip, I chose a family vacation to WDW.

Jer: My 24 year old boyfriend. He is a MIS major and not so much a Disney fan. We've been dating 4.5 years. He's been to the MK one other time besides this trip, but that was when he was 18 months so I don't really count it. His family isn't one to go on vacations so he was really looking forward to this trip.

Mom and Dad: My wonderful parents have been to WDW more than I have. My dad went when he was in the OU marching band back in the 80s as well as when the parks first opened when he was a kid. My parents went together as a couple at some point between when they got married and when I was born.

Ethan: 3 years younger than I am. This particular trip was to celebrate his graduation from high school! Yay! Now he is 12+ hours away going to college. On our first trip to WDW we accidentally left him in Germany. It's kind of a running gag now.

Em: The youngest of us three, she was a freshman in high school on this trip. She is a character lover and her goal on this trip was to get a photo with Mulan. She's also the one who just wanders off and meanders through the parks.

Shall we begin?

DAY 1:

So we had a super early flight the first day. We were at the airport at 4am to be exact. I didn't realize the airport essentially shut down overnight so it was weird to be the ONLY PEOPLE IN THE TERMINAL. We had a layover in DFW which makes for a short 25 min first flight. The flight attendants had enough time to rush down the aisle passing out drinks, then immediately turn around and collect everything back up. Oh, we're from OKC. I don't think I mentioned that before. Hah. Then after like an hour we boarded a plane to MCO.

After landing and getting on the DME, etc, we checked into Pop and dropped our carry-on bags off at our rooms. Then it was straight to the MK.

It was St. Patrick's Day if you can't tell! :P

It was pretty close to lunch time so we went straight to Tomorrowland and the Lunching Pad.

Angus burger that wasn't half bad.

We watched a parade and rode some rides, but then it was time for 'Ohana. :D

I was super hungry. I didn't eat all of my burger at lunch so I devoured my food before I could remember to take a picture.

DAY 2:

We decided to go to Epcot our first full day to get some of the major walking out of the way. Nothing is worse than going to Epcot on your last day after walking all over the parks. We got there at the opening which is actually amazing for my family. We like our sleep.

The approach...

Getting closer!

We rode Soarin and maybe one other ride but we had early lunch reservations at Le Cellier. I was super pumped about this place. It was my pick and I couldn't wait to try it out. Since we got there right at opening, the staff sang O Canada to us in French.

I died and went to steak and mushroom heaven. I think I loved the risotto more than the steak actually. Delish.

Jer's pork chop. He raved about this pork chop. Literally.

Now that I know that people actually do barf on M:S, this was probably the last time I will have ever ridden it.

Jer. :) He really loved Test Track, but that makes sense. He loves his cars.

Um, yum.

Dinner at Coral Reef. Jer's seafood pasta.

The most amazing fish ever. This was probably my favorite meal altogether.

So Jer got this cheesecake not realizing it was sugar-free. He said it tasted like straight cream cheese. He was super disappointed and I felt bad enough that I offered a bite of my chocolate wave (I'm chocolate obsessed). He doesn't do chocolate though and declined. Poor Jer. He was really worn out at this point. He's not used to all this relaxing. :P After dinner we went back to Pop. The MK was having EMH and I managed to convince Jer to go with me for some late night rides. We managed to ride Space and Buzz Lightyear before we both admitted that we weren't up to staying until 1am.
