Hello Everyone!
I am back with another Walt Disney World Pre-Trip report. . . For a trip we sure hope to take. Last time around I opened my Pre-Trip report with a question: When does it start to feel "real"?
Well, if possible, this trip feels even more unreal than the last! For one thing, I can't believe our last trip wasn't a one time only affair. I never expected to catch the Disney bug like I did, but now there's not a day that goes by that I don't think about the next Disney trip.
For another thing, I never thought I'd be able to afford another trip, especially not without donating plasma again! But 2017 was not a bad year financially, so we were able to save quite a bit and 2018 has been okay too.
And finally I'm STILL not sure if I will get the time off to go! I knew that if I stayed at my current position, there would be no way, since we wanted to go in January and our time-off cannot be used until it is accrued... and it doesn't roll over from the previous year. BUT I very thankfully got a new job and I start on August 6th! I have no idea what the vacation policies will be, but fingers crossed it all works out!
So! Let's get into the DETAILS.
Who?: So far, it's going to be me and Hubby again!
We recently went to London. Which was cool.
Me, aka Elizabeth: 23 going on 24, lover of Haunted Mansion, Splash Mountain, Pooh Bear, and all things Dumbo.
DH, aka Jacob: 24 going on 25, lover of Haunted Mansion, the Disney Dining Plan, and making me happy.
Where? So far, Port Orleans Riverside. But we are not married to this resort, will just play it by ear to see what kind of resort discounts become available as we go.
When? January 12-20
Why? Well, really, just because we want to. But we can also say it's to celebrate a new job with better pay and benefits.
How? Using the same travel agent we used last time.
We've booked it! And now just to see. . . Will we actually get to go? (Hopefully we find out soon.)
