So after reading numerous trip reports in anticipation for my own Disney trip, I finally signed up and decided to write my very own first "Pre-Trip Report."
My trip is a month from today, so I couldn't think of a better time to write this report!

Here it goes...
This trip is mostly Disney with some other fun mixed in too...
When:August 26th - September 5th
Where: All Star Music
Who: Me (Deanna) and my best guy friend (Stephen) - This is our first vacation together so hopefully we don't drive each other crazy, but it's Disney so how can you not have a good time!
Day 1-Friday, August 26th: I have a late flight from AC to Orlando, so Friday night he will pick me up from the airport, we'll get dinner & drinks on the way to the hotel, & then check-in and call it a night.
Day 2-Saturday, August 27th: We are going to Sea World this day (his idea), neither one of us have been since we were kids. I mainly want to ride Journey to Atlantis and then just look at the animals all day. After SeaWorld, we are headed to Disney Springs with dinner reservations for Paradiso 37.
Day 3-Sunday, August 28th: This went from a Rest Day, to us driving to Tampa for the day. We plan on stopping at The Hard Rock for some gambling and exploring Ybor City. Then checking out CityWalk Sunday Night.
Day 4-Monday August 29th: This is our Hollywood Studios day (I still call it MGM). We have fastpasses for Toy Story, Tower of Terror, and Star Tours with a lunch reservation at Mama Melrose's. We hope to take a break at the hotel, then head back for the Star Wars fireworks.
Day 5-Tuesday, August 30th: This is our Magic Kingdom day (my favorite), he bought us the early morning passes. I am super excited to be able to walk down Main Street without crowds of people. We'll ride the 7Dwarfs Mine Train, Winnie the Pooh, & Peter Pan a few times before heading off to breakfast. We have fastpasses for Splash Mountain, Buzz Lightyear, & Space Mountain with a lunch reservation at Tony's Town Square. We hope to take break and come back for Wishes and then off to the boardwalk for the rest of the night(if we're not exhausted).
Day 6-Wednesday, August 31st: This is our rest day. We have breakfast reservations at Kona Cafe. We plan on mini-golfing, some pool time, & checking out the Orlando Eye.
Day 7-Thursday, September 1st: This is our Universal Day. I have never seen Islands of Adventure or Harry Potter World so this will be a first for us. We also splurged on unlimited express passes so we can cram as much into one day as we can.
Day 8-Friday, September 2nd: This is our Epcot day. We have fastpasses for Soarin, Spaceship Earth, & Nemo. We plan to mostly eat & drink around the world that day, we also have a dinner reservation for Via Napoli. Hopefully we make it to see Illuminations.
Day 9- Saturday, September 3rd: This is our second rest day. We have breakfast reservations at Boma and then plan on taking it easy the rest of the day. We might drive to Clermont and see the Lakeridge winery, maybe check out OldTown, but most likely will go back to Disney Springs for some shopping with a dinner reservation at T-Rex
Day 10- Sunday, September 4th: This is our Animal Kingdom day. We have fastpasses for Expedition Everest, Kilimanjaro Safari, and Kali River Rapids with a lunch reservation at Yak & Yeti.
Day 11-Monday, September 5th: This is our last day. I don't leave to late afternoon, so we will either go back to Disney Springs or just hangout.
--I have an ambitious, detailed itinerary for this trip, hopefully I can accomplish most of it.
Thanks for reading & I look forward to any feedback or suggestions!!
