Confession: I went back and forth about posting. As you can tell by my profile, I've entirely been a lurker here on the Dis
But! You guys have been such a help that it only felt right to try and give back in the form of a little entertainment. From planning advice through trip reports getting me through finals, this trip wouldn't be happening without YOU
Backstory: The two of us going on this trip had been talking about going to Disney World since before we graduated high school. It just never made sense, since we both knew we wanted to stay on property for a decent length of time, so we could really enjoy it before any kids were involved. Then, about a year and a half ago, I was looking for a distraction from my homework. I decided to look up just how much it would cost to get to Disney, now that I had a job....and now here we are, leaving in three days!
What: A "This is your present for at least two years" Disney Christmas trip
When: November 24th-December 2nd, 2018
Where: Animal Kingdom Lodge through DVC!!!
Who: Len and Kayla
What's that? Time for introductions?
(Oh mighty Dis veterans--why is my image so huge?)
My name's Len, and I'm your primary planner, dungeon master, and local nerd. I graduated with my Master's degree from the University of Minnesota in May, and am currently taking coding classes at my local community college and mcing trivia on the weekends.
My best friend, Kayla, is my partner in crime and all things travel. This will be our first major trip together, but previously we've met up in Seattle and Tokyo (including DisneySea!). Next year, we'll be moving to Ireland together. Disneyland Paris, anyone?
We both grew up near Disneyland, but neither of us have been in more than a decade, and never to Disney World. After planning this trip for eighteen months, we're quaking with excitement. So, why should you be? Follow along for:
-Live updates*
-A trip to The Void
-Drinking/Snacking around the world on a budget
-MVMCP!!!!!
-Copious Star Trek references
-Other reasons I'll come up with later
*live updates not guaranteed
If you decide to follow along, welcome! And I'll see you....at the happiest place on Earth!
