Hi everyone! And welcome to my first trip report (but not my first trip!) We were there June 14-22, and there was some rain, some pain, some tours, and a good time was had by all! But first, a little background...
When I graduated from high school, my dad told me I could pick anywhere in the world to go to celebrate. I chose London and saw a bunch of places where the Harry Potter movies were filmed and got some culture and all that jazz. Fast forward three years, and now it's my sister's turn to graduate. So my dad gives her the same offer. He was practically begging her to pick Italy, but she didn't. Instead, she chose.....

UNNECESSARY SUSPENSE

DISNEY!
As I said, this was faaaaar from our first trip. We've been going since before I could walk, and I was a CP back in 2011 so they came to visit me three or four times during those seven months. So we were prepared for the June heat, crowds, rain, lines, the whole shebang. But you'd think I'd be prepared for those goshdarn trolley tracks! I'm getting ahead of myself, though. How about some introductions?
First, there's me, Cali! I'm 21 years old, a theatre major at UNC-Wilmington, a College Program alumni, and a Disney fanatic. Half my wardrobe consists of Disney shirts, I've spent more money than I really care to think about on my pin collection, I'm pretty much always listening to Disney music, my backgrounds on my phone and laptop are Cinderella Castle... basically, I'm a Diser!
Favorite characters: Rapunzel, Tiana, Merida, the Cheshire Cat, Stitch, Crush, and especially ALL THE VILLAINS!
Favorite attraction: Splash Mountain
Favorite restaurant: The Liberty Tree Tavern
Favorite Disney movies: The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Tangled, and the Princess and the Frog
Now we have my DSis, Danielle. She's 17 years old, and this trip was to celebrate her high school graduation. In real life she tries to pretend she's too cool for Disney, but if I happen to be listening to Disney music or watching a Disney movie, she'll sit right down and know all the words, and she LOVES the parks and the princesses. She's planning on going to NC State and majoring in animal sciences, so the Backstage Safari tour was a MUST.
Favorite characters: Cinderella, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, Mickey Mouse, Belle, Rapunzel
Favorite attraction: Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
Favorite restaurant: Cinderella's Royal Table and 50's Prime Time Cafe
Favorite Disney movies: Cinderella, Tangled, and the Pirates of the Caribbean
Finally, the parental units! My dad is... not into Disney. At all. He does enjoy some of the attractions, like the Laugh Floor, Rock N' Roller Coaster, and Splash Mountain, and he likes Eeyore, but for the most part, he's just along for the ride. He does pay for us to take all these magical trips though, so we've got to appreciate Mr. Grumpy Gills over here! My mom gets it, though. She LOVES being in Disney, and cried as much as I did when we had to leave! She's even considering naming our next dog Walt.
My mom's favorites:
Favorite characters: Mickey, Stitch, Ariel, Belle, Piglet
Favorite attraction: Rock N' Roller Coaster
Favorite restaurant: Liberty Tree Tavern or Cinderella's Royal Table
Favorite Disney movies: Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, Toy Story
SO now that all the housekeeping is out of the way, keep your hands, arms, feet, and legs inside the trip report, please watch your children, and enjoy my trip report!
