Trip Report Somehow I'll make a fan out of you - January 2018 **COMPLETED**

IMG_7611.jpg

:cry::cry::cry:

The post-Disney depression has officially set in. Actually, it set in as soon as I took the Tragical Express to MCO.

WHY does departure day exist?!?! Why can't I always be in my happy place!?! Why do I live in a place where the air hurts my skin?!?! Why can't I live in Orlando??

Such is life I guess!! To help cure my Disney blues and to hold me over until my next trip (which fortunately is never too far away), I thought I'd share my travels with all of you :joyfull:

[You can find my PTR here]
WHO: Myself (Rebecca/Becca) and my boyfriend Daniel

WHEN: January 16th-22nd 2018
WHERE: Coronado Springs and Beach Club
WHY: Long story short, we've been dating for 3 years and wanted to celebrate!

This was Daniel's first trip as an adult (my 16th), he hasn't gone since he was 3 years old. He told me the only thing he remembered was riding Dumbo, so I knew that I had a challenge before me.... so I got inspiration from Mulan and thought to myself...

Somehow I'll make a FAN out of you!!!

We stopped in the stores along Main Street, where I bought a purple spirit jersey (and I am actually wearing it right now as I type LOL)

Saturday, January 20th:
We were up bright and early for an EMH morning at AK, which happens to be my favorite park :happy:

Out the door by 7am!

Quick mug refill and we were on our way!

Soon we were arriving at the wildest place in town!
IMG_7705.jpg

Security, once again, took forever. So we ended up heading into AK at about 8:20am. Not a big deal, but slightly annoying!

They were playing so many good songs and everyone around us was dancing and singing. I felt like today was going to be a good day :)

No Tree of Life pictures yet because we were on a mission! We were standing with a couple who was older than us and they asked if they could follow us to Pandora since they had no idea how to get there. I happily obliged!

Yet again, they asked if we just got married :facepalm::hilarious:
I should have just started saying yes LOL :angelic::angelic:

Up next: Pandora and an AK day!

We got in line for Na'vi River Journey since we had a FP for FoP later (and you can only have one Pandora FP). It was posted at a 15 minute wait so we thought it'd be best to go now.

I know a lot of people don't care for this ride, but I do! I am a Pandora freak LOL. Everything about the land excites me and I hope that this level of themeing is where WDW is headed in the future. It makes me so happy and I can't wait to be back THIS MONTH! :inlove::joyfull:

Quick Pandora selfie with tired eyes LOL

The African Wild Dogs were being SO cute. They were running around in a circle just following each other. It was seriously so adorable!!

I never seem to learn my lesson when it comes to the safari. I always take 10000 photos... and they all turn out mediocre... and I never do anything with them :hilarious::hilarious:

Up next: even MORE animal photos you never thought you wanted to see!

Next, we headed over to Dinosaur! We didn't have a FP but we thought we would have enough time before our FoP FP began.
IMG_7798.jpg

While we were in line, we were debating back and forth if we should leave or not. I was really nervous about not making our FP but luckily the line started moving really fast and we were able to fit it in! I'm so happy we didn't leave the line!

As expected since it was the weekend, AK was pretty packed! All was well though, I was in my happy place and it was finally warming up! :p:p
