Sisterly Shenanigans: One Lil Spark and Big Al's Gal attack WDW!

Welcome, welcome, WELCOME!

This is a very picture heavy trip report documenting our first ever 'Sister's Only' trip to WDW. Hopefully you will enjoy reading this as much as we enjoyed bringing it to you. Please note that this will probably take a day or two to finish and will come in many installations. At any point, you can check out my photo album on my profile page as well!

Now, on to the good stuff...

Featured Players:

Jennifer (One Lil Spark)

Younger of the two sisters.
Lover of all things Ariel and Big Al.
Life's goal is to star in the Voyage of the Little Mermaid at DHS.


Our story begins in the mountains of western North Carolina. I woke up bright and early to drive to Dayton, Tn where Elise goes to Bryan College. Once I picked her up, we were off to catch our flight! When we arrived at Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport, I somehow scored THE front row parking spot. Even though we were incredibly excited to be heading to WDW, I had a hard time leaving my car (which I've affectionately named Molly Weasley).

Drama oozed out of our flight in Chatty to Atlanta, but I won't get into that. (Grrr...) Finally holding our boarding pass made it feel all the more official! Elise's green eyes really burst with excitement, don't they?

After figuring out that Delta pretty much hates me, we were off! The view of the ocean of clouds helped calm me down on the cramped, small plane. All together now, Oooo... Ahhh...​

We arrived in Atlanta for our larger, much more comfy flight to Orlando. During the lay over, we decided to play in the concourse. You'll soon see that we don't like to take serious pictures...​

Once we were finally in the air for the final leg of our trip down, I decided to treat myself to a much deserved $7 Bloody Mary.​

FINALLY, we landed, grabbed our luggage and met up with a friend who drove us home... Home on this trip was the All Star Sports!​

More to come... Stay tuned, folks! :wave:​

Thank you for the fun trip report. You reminded me of several trips I made with my sister (probably before you were born--Epcot was brand new!)and what fun we had. You will always treasure the memories you made!
Having her with me was the best! We've been WDW lovers since we were kids living in St Pete. We've had dreams of this solo trip without the rest of the family for years and years. It was worth every penny to have her there with me.
Awww, I love your trip report. It's so entertaining. I keep checking compulsively to see if you posted more...

P.S. I love your nails.
Thanks! I'm going to finish today, but there are a TON of MK pictures. :D
Wow amazing trip report.This is the best I have seen in 2 years and I also HAVE GOT TO SEE the video you speak of with Ron doing Dreamfinder! :eek::eek::eek::eek:
Thank you so much! If you have facebook, PM me your name so I can send you a request. They're all on my facebook right now, but I'm going to see if I can upload them on youtube to put here. It was magical and clearly made me tear up. :eek:

The first thing we did was head to Tomorrowland for Space Mountain fastpasses. Since this was the last time we'd ever be able to experience Space in it's current state, we wanted to make sure proper attention and love were paid to it.

Our first attraction was Carousel of Progress! For me, there's no better way to start a 15+ hour day at MK than by saying hello to John, Sara, Patricia, Jimmy and who could forget Uncle Orville! Here's some random shots...

By the way, some genius decided to leave the house and backstage lights up in the first room... You can see stuff behind the curtain backstage and all the lighting of the sign was lost. High five to you, CM!

After realizing there's a great, big, beautiful tomorrow just a dream away, we took an immediate jaunt on TTA. At this point, it started raining and the wind really picked up.

Elise decided to surf the TTA ramp like a gnarley wave!

Jenn... you mentioned the house lights being up backstage on CoP... when I watched it earlier this month, they had actually left a backstage set panel open in the 20s scene... behind the father is a bay window of sorts... the panel to the audience's right is hinged and swings back into backstage. The door was wide open... you could see the base of the background painting and could also see back into the workroom.

We'll just pretened all of this is because they're doing so much TLC on it. :D :lookaroun :ROFLOL:
