Hello everyone!
I'm Emily, and this is my first trip report! I'm 22 years old, and live in northeast Louisiana.
I love all things disney, my cocker spaniel named Sinatra, photography, gardening, and baking.
I've been reading trip reports like crazy since the beginning of last year when we planned for our race.
But this is my first report. Hopefully I'll get the hang of this, and it won't be my last I'm sure!
(Sinatra obviously doesn't like Mickey ears! How rude!)
What? Disfamcay! Nine family members take on the world!
When? May 17th - 22nd
Where? Port Orleans Riverside!
1.) This is only my third trip to Disney World. I went as a kid in 2000, it was our family and my moms besties family. We stayed off property.
I also went in Sept. 2012 and ran the Tower of Terror 10 miler with my sister. We stayed at Port Orleans French Quarter,
and thats when I truly fell in love with Disney World.
(May 2000 vs Sept 2012 - not much has changed)
(Courtney and I before our race! She was a bellhop, and I was Jessie!)
2.) My favorites!
Characters - Dumbo, Peter Pan, Jessie, Pinnochio, Dale, and Rapunzel!
Rides - Kilimanjaro Safari, Maelstrom, Tower of Terror, Haunted Mansion, and Toy Story Mania
3.) This trip was supposed to be a Christmas surprise. However, i HATE surprises. I peak into every Christmas present, emails, receipts, etc.
I get much more joy out of trying to figure out my gifts, than I do being surprised on Christmas morning. I've been this way since I was about five years old.
Don't worry, I acted surprised Christmas morning! The only person who knew that I knew was my sister Courtney.
Courtney, her husband, Austin, and my mom were surprising me and my brother, Hunter, with a trip to Disney World!
(Christmas morning we both got to open giant bags with balloons in the them with this sign attached to the end. Please ignore our crazy tired faces)
Time to meet the gang!
The ones you'll be hearing about most:
Courtney and Austin!
My sister and brother in law. My favorite couple in the whole world. (Except for Minnie and Mickey, of course)
They are Disney obssesed. They love lady and the tramp, stitch, and star wars.
They planned the whole vacay, and made our reservations for us!
Hunter!
My not so little little brother. He is a physics major, and just finished his first year of college.
He loves Goofy and Woody. He puts up with me wanting to hug him all the time, and I love him for that.
The rest of the gang:
Katie and Matt (my cousin and her husband), Teresa and Melvin (my amazing aunt and uncle), Hunter (brother),
Chandler (cousin), Austin (brother in law), Courtney (sister), Me, and Duffy!
Duffy is an official member of the family.
That's all for now!
Up next: I'M GOING TO DISNEY WORLD!
