Welcome one and all to my very first attempt at a trip report!
I've been lurking on the pages for a while now reading everyone's reports and decided that after our September 2016 trip I should give it a go so please hang in there with me if I don't get it right first go or it's very basic in nature. It's taken me 6 months to get through the post Disney blues and now I just want to relive the magic all over again.
So let me give you some background on our 'once in a lifetime' trip.
Trip Dates: Departed Australia 2nd September 2016 & Returned 20th September 2016
Disney World Dates: Pop Century Resort 8th - 12th September & Port Orleans Riverside (Royal Room) 16th - 20th September
Disney Cruise: 4 Nights Bahamas Cruise on Disney Dream 12th September - 16th September
Travel Time Australia to Orlando: 26 hours!!
A bit about 'us'!
'US' is Adam & Jennie. We're a childless couple in our late 30's from Townsville - a regional Australian city of 220,000 people - in North Queensland Australia.
Jennie (that's me on the right) is a complete Disney nut!! I work in administration and love living a relatively quite life at home with Adam and our beautiful puppies!! I swear I'm part gypsy because every few years I get itchy feet and just have to travel overseas. Luckily not having kids (not by choice) has allowed us the freedom and funds to travel regularly. My favourite Disney character is TIGGER!!! closely followed by Belle & Ariel.
Adam (DH) likes Disney but certainly isn't the 'nut' or 'super fan' like me. DH works in IT and also loves nothing more than quite days spent at home with our little fur family. We're basically like 2 peas in a pod DH LOVES Star Wars but surprisingly on this trip I found out that Tinkerbell is his favourite classic Disney character
Our Disney history includes trips to Tokyo Disneyland pre 'us' (me in 1994 & 2009 and DH in 2005) but our first Disney trip together was to Disneyland in Christmas of 2010. That trip to Disneyland in 2010 was ultimately what lit our joint passion for all things Disney. Pretty much as soon as we returned from that 2010 Disneyland trip we began dreaming of a Disneyworld trip. It took us a while but we finally got there.
On this trip we were celebrating a few special milestones. This was our first trip to the East Coast of America, our first Disneyworld trip and a slightly early celebration for our 10th Wedding Anniversary. It was everything we'd dreamed it would be and so so much more!!
So what can you expect in our report?? MNSSHP, Club Villain, Jet Skiing, Food & Wine, Disney Cruise Line, Star Wars Desert Party - we jammed a lot in!!
