Welcome, Foolish Mortals.... I'm Santina & I'll be your ghost host for this mini pre-trip and trip report!
If you've read my last trip report (found here) you'll know that my husband Dillon told me on our last trip that he was getting bored with Disney. We talked about it and decided we wouldn't be returning until May for a quick trip to celebrate my graduation and then not again until Galaxy's Edge opened
WELLLLLLLLLL I GUESS HE WASN'T TRULY ALL THAT BORED. That's right! We're headed back to the world in 3 days for < 48 hours! Are we nuts? Most definitely! But I wouldn't have it any other way
So how did this trip come to be? My little brother, Vinny, is currently home from college (he attends Colgate University) & my mom wanted to take him to Disney before heading back at the end of the month. My mom had surgery in December, and while she's perfectly fine, she's still recovering & not feeling up to walking around Disney. She never told Vinny she wanted to take him, and after talking to my mom she thought it'd be nice if my brother and I could take a trip together before he goes back as a nice surprise. Vinny, Dillon, and I have annual passes and Dillon and I are DVC members, so as long as there was a room available all we'd have to do is pay for our flights. I'm finishing up my final year in graduate school & am working a full-time, unpaid internship so my hours are flexible and I can basically do what I want. Sooo, two days ago I checked flights and they were $80 round trip. Then I checked the DVC website & there was a studio available at AKL. THIS TRIP WAS MEANT TO BE.
I called Dillon to see what he thought about me going to Disney for one night since he'd have to take care of the pups, and he said "You're going to Disney without ME?!" To which I responded, "You're totally invited to come along, I just didn't think you'd want to since you said you're bored with Disney". He hung up on me, apparently called his boss to get the days off, and then called me back saying "I'm comin'!!" WOOHOOOOO! I called Vinny and asked him what he thought about going to Disney on Tuesday. He, of course, said YES!!
