When A Tourist Becomes A Local!
Introduction
Hello everyone and welcome to my next Trip Report! I have a lot of fun Disney experiences planned for 2019, and this is going to be a Trip Report that has updates through the end of 2019! Why do you ask? Well, the title of this Trip Report might be giving that away. I will “hopefully” be moving to the the Most Magical Place On Earth in 2019, and I will be taking all of you on the many adventures that I will be having throughout the year!
I have been on a trip already to Florida that ended recently that I will be starting updates for very soon, and my updates starting from “hopefully” becoming a local will begin later this year!

A LITTLE ABOUT ME:
My name is Zach, and I grew up 20 minutes away from the Happiest Place On Earth (Disneyland) before choosing to go to school in Kansas. I still wonder why I left Disneyland for a school in a colder climate?
I’m happy that I “might” be leaving the cold weather very soon!
So, Disneyland is where my love for Disney began at a very young age. We would go to Disneyland about 2 times a week for most of my life.
I really like music (my Disboards name might answer that), and I actually got my degree in Music Education. I play several instruments (saxophone and piano), and I also sing. For this reason, I really like seeing shows more than riding attractions while at Disney Theme Parks. Even if I like shows more than attractions, I will still find myself going on rides.
Favorite Disney Theme Parks: Disneyland, Disney's Animal Kingdom (WDW).
Favorite Disney Theme Park Show: Festival of the Lion King.
Favorite Disney Parade: Main Street Electrical Parade.
Favorite Disney Theme Park Nighttime Show: Illuminations.
Favorite Disney Theme Park Attractions: Big Thunder Railroad, Expedition Everest, and Flight of Passage.
Favorite Disney Theme Park Entertainment: Voices of Liberty!
Favorite Disney Movies: Lion King and Toy Story (1, 2, and 3).
Favorite Disney Songs: Anything from the Lion King, A Whole New World (Aladdin), Santa Fe (Newsies - Broadway version), Seize the Day (Newsies), Go the Distance (Hercules), You've Got A Friend In Me (Toy Story), and many more.

MORE ABOUT THIS YEAR:
I have already been on a trip in 2019 that encompassed me searching for a place to live (and maybe apply for a place to live), as well as, some time at Walt Disney World. My Dad was able to join me on this trip. We stayed a week at Saratoga Springs in a 1-bedroom DVC villa. I did many things on this trip that I haven’t experienced before, and one of those was something that I was really excited to check out. That was the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts!
My plan for this year is moving to Orlando. Did I end up finding a place to live on my most recent trip? Stay tuned to find out!
I am hoping to bring many Disney updates throughout the year that include the EPCOT festivals, holiday parties at the Magic Kingdom, dining reviews, resort overviews, and many daily adventures to the Theme Parks that will encompass 2019.
I hope that you enjoy…When A Tourist Becomes A Local!
