Welcome!
I have been an avid Disboards reader for 7 years or so, I have been wanting to do a trip report for some time now but chose to continue lurking others posts and living vicariously through them instead So here I am, FINALLY getting the chance to relive my amazing trip and share it with all of you! I will start with a little about myself.
My name is Sierra and I will be the narrator of this trip... well my DH will be popping in as he thinks this is a great idea and can remember some things that I may have missed. I am 28, he is 27 and we both live in Tucson Arizona. We travel a lot and live like every night is date night. We met at the adorable age of 11 and reconnected years after high school but here we are now I have only ever been to Disney world once before, which was in 2011 however I have been to Disneyland 30+ times as I live in Arizona and it's a pretty short drive away. In the real world I work at a vet clinic as a veterinary technician. I used to do rehabilitation work for raptors and birds of prey as well as pretty much any animal under the sun. You name it, I worked on it. Bagheeras, Pumbas, Baloos, Nemos, Bianca and Bernards, Thumpers, Bambis... well, you get the drift Mainly now I just work on dogs and cats but equally as rewarding! My husband is in charge of training and hiring at the transportation division of the Grand Canyon. He is gone two weeks every month but it is a pretty convenient schedule to allow us vacation time. Here we are now
Ok, so now the trip deets!
We stayed at Port Orleans Riverside from May 8-13 and continued our Orlando vacay an additional 2 days until May 15 at an offsite location that really doesn't matter because it wasn't a disney hotel so it's nameless to me hahahaha
We did the Disney standard dining plan (Spoiler alert we LOVED it) and I have great pictures and reviews from all our restaurants which for table service included Sci Fi, Artist point, O'hana, Boma and Akershus as well as the Fantasmic VIP dessert package, plus a ton of snacks, alcohol, QS meals, and offsite dining while in Orlando. Oh yeah, and alcohol on a side note I almost NEVER drink but hey, it's included in the dining plan so no way I'm gonna let that go to waste. On the other hand, DH is a beer drinker and i'm pretty sure in order to maximize the DDP he ordered the most expensive beer regardless of description haha But he liked them all and thought they all tasted great. Or maybe he just drank enough that they started tasting great, but I digress lol
We also (due to unforseen circumstances and a change in our last day plans) booked a last minute fishing charter at Disneyworld on bay lake. And last but not least i'll be reviewing Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure as we visited them as well.
OK guys I'm excited!!! I'm finally doing this, I hope you guys join in and enjoy! I promise, lots of pics to come, I kept it limited on this post because I feel strange posting pictures of myself just to talk about myself, but no worries, that will fade as the TR goes on hahaha
