The Secret to September
a 2015 TR
Hey there Pals! Welcome to our Trip Report: The Secret to September! My mom, sis and I spent an entire week (well almost) in sunny Walt Disney World, during the warm month of September. Come along as I relive the great, the greater and the greatest parts of our trip!
Let’s start with the cast of this wild adventure:
I’m Mary, and I will be telling this tall tale. I work for Nordstrom, I’m the lucky mama of this adorable little Booboo
and the partner of this ever loving man
I love all things Disney, and I have as far back as I can remember!
This is my sis, Kat
She is a brand new Orlando resident and WDW CM currently making magic in the Starbucks at Epcot. She lives with her honey in a gorgeous high-rise over looking downtown Orlando. Her love of Disney runs deep, not as deep as mine, but whose keeping track (me, I am).
The third member of this bunch is our mama, Betsey
This ever patient, I’ll be it sometimes grumpy, lady has put up with Kat and me for 31 years! Mama works for the Miami Film Fest and runs an awesome Etsy shop in her spare time. She is a fantastic Baba (grandma) and, like her daughters, loves Disney. Mom was actually in the MK when it first opened; her daddy was one of the union lawyers on the project!
Now that you know a bit about us, let’s talk about this great trip! This trip was WAY over due (if you want the full story follow the link to my PTR in my signature). Mama, Kat and I hadn't been to WDW together in 10 years. And while I'd gone a few times and so had Kat there was a ton of stuff we'd never done or seen. We knew going in that this trip would be jammed with activities, but we also managed to find time to relax, well at least a little bit! Oh, and we ate. We ate like none of us has ever eaten before, but we will get there!!
Any who! September 12, 2015 finally arrived! I spent the morning with my partner and our daughter just kind of hanging around
Come about 1 pm Mama got to my house in Pompano, I kissed my fella and my DD goodbye and we were off!
Our resort reservation wasn’t actually until Sunday the 13th, but mama and I headed up to spend the night at Kat’s place in Downtown Orlando. The drive was super fast and easy; we made it to Kat’s before 4 PM. Kat gave us the tour, we ordered Thai food and then we all exchanged a few gifts! Nothing crazy a few towels, sneakers and, the best gift of all, PINS!!! We bought a giant bag of Disney pins for trading. I already had quite a few, as did Kat, but we had fun going through the new ones and setting up our lanyards for our first park day!
Those are our happy about pins faces.
The plan was to get up early on Sunday, check into the hotel and then drive to MK for our 8:35 AM ADR at CP. This was one of my mom's only requests so I was super pumped when I was able to snag it.
By 10 pm we were all in bed, not sleeping from too much excitement. After all we had waited ten years for this trip! And boy, oh boy would it be a great one.
That’s all for now folks, I’ll be back soon with our first park day! TTFN friends!
