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!!!

Arrival Day pt 3....

We were scheduled to take off at 9:50, however it was about 10 when our plane finally left Buffalo

We ate snacks provided by Southwest and watched The Lion King on my laptop. For the rest of the trip, Daniel kept saying "Remember.." in his best Mufasa voice :hilarious:

I had a coke to drink and Daniel didn't have anything!

More selfies, this time with Daniel in them!!

Finally, at 12:30 (which was 10 minutes early), we landed in Orlando!!!!!

We stopped at a bathroom to change into some shorts since it was about 70-75 degrees outside (and having been in the negatives the week before, this felt like 100!!!)

By 12:50 we were on the fonorail!!

Magical Express/MCO continued

We went in row 10, which ended up dropping only at Coronado Springs and AKL. We were the first stop.

We got on a pretty full bus at 1:03 and by 1:30 we were driving under this beauty:

:inlove::inlove::inlove: the worst picture ever, but what a sight to see

I love our Bitmojis on the snapchat map :hilarious:
IMG_6746.jpg

We pulled into Coronado Springs at 1:40pm which was much earlier than I had anticipated. We dropped our bags at Bell Services (which was actually collecting the luggage outside in 'The Luggage Room', duh Rebecca :facepalm:)

We quickly looked at the lobby and made way for the bus stop, which was right under the awning!

I really love this lobby!!

But where would the bus be taking us????

Up next: our first park (half) day!

Day 1 continued

IMG_6755.jpg

Our first park would be Epcot!! The bus came in 2-3 minutes. We had AWESOME luck with busses this trip :)
IMG_6760.jpg

Oh look, another selfie :hilarious:
IMG_6761.jpg

We arrived here at 2:07pm. Before we could enter the park, I had to detour to Guest Services for a very expensive piece of plastic!

IMG_6764.jpg

and by 2:15, I was *officially* an Annual Passholder!!

We stopped for a few pictures and then we were off to our first ride!!
IMG_6768.jpg

We decided to do standby for Spaceship Earth, which was posted at a 20 minute wait. This is where we encountered some pixie dust! Once we hopped in line, a cast member approached us and asked if we were waiting to get on Spaceship Earth, to which we said yes. He told us to follow him. He led us through the cast member exit and got us on the ride in 2 minutes. I really wish I had gotten his name!!! We couldn't thank him enough - and I was SOOOO happy that Daniel's first impression of Disney was a really positive one :inlove:

While we were on Spaceship Earth, I got this text! We were so excited to see our room, but we wouldn't go there until after Illuminations.

From there, we made our way through Future World!

I just love this little mickey!! I wish it was a little brighter though :)

Coming up: more future world fun!

I mostly use it to send pictures of stupid stuff/dumb selfies to my friends in college, lol. My mom has it too and sends me pictures of our family dog while I'm at school :inlove:

No one is too old/too unfunny for snapchat!! :joyfull::joyfull:

Oh boy I am in! Daniel's first trip that he can actually remember. Since I am in the 'hold' postion for a Disney Vacation awaiting Flower and Garden what better way to pass the time than through the eyes of a First Timer. Crossing my fingers and throwing pixie dust that he his hooked on Disney after your trip. :inlove: Can't wait to hear more.

Looks like a great start so far. Looking forward to reading more! I hope this doesn't come off as creepy, but you and Daniel both have fabulous eyebrows!
