Hello! This is my first trip report and its really overdue, but Im still going to do it.
I should start off with introductions.
My name is Jordan. Im a stay at home mom who loves everything Disney. Im lucky enough to have been born and raised two hours from the World and Im even luckier to be able to share that with my fiancé and son. At times this post will get confusing and I should explain now that my fiancés name is also Jordan (spelled the same way too), but I wont be talking in third person so if the name is mentioned from here on out, Im talking about him.
Fun Facts about me:
I have always been terrified of The Haunted Mansion until this last trip (yay me!).
I tend to have ride anxiety (big time).
My favorite movie/princess is: The Little Mermaid/Ariel and my favorite of the Fab Five is Mickey.
Whenever a Disney Special is on television I watch it and record it so I can enjoy it over and over again.
My favorite Disney ride is Mickeys PhilarMagic.
My fiancé, Jordan, is a new-Disney lover. He is really a thrill seeker and I am not at all, but he compromises because he loves me. He is fully supportive of my Disney addiction and is a great father.
Fun Facts about Jordan:
He loves anything fast and crazy.
His grandfather was an Olympic Gymnast Coach for China.
He is originally from England but moved to the States eight years ago.
His favorite Disney movie is Hercules and Toy Story and his favorite ride at theme parks is RnR.
And last, but never least, is our one and only son. His name is London, he turned one year during the trip, and I couldnt love anything more than I love him. There arent many facts about him, so I will sum it up. He is obsessed with Mickey (more so now that he is older than when we went unfortunately), whenever he seems him on a picture, on the television, wherever he screams and points. He also loves Jake and the Neverland Pirates. Oh, and being like mommy, the only thing he would watch for the first nine months of his life was Under the Sea on repeat on Youtube. So we count The Little Mermaid as one of his favorites.
He is fully in line to carry on the Disney legacy when he is ready RIGHT, I almost forgot my username is because of London. Our nickname for him is bean, and we took him swimming one day a while ago and arose a new nickname, Merbean.
Here is a picture taken about a week ago, he is now 16 months old. He was smiling because he realized Mickey was on his PJs.
Now, onto the trip! Of course youre all saying duh, thats why were here in the first place!
We left our home in sunny southwest Florida at one p.m. on February 24th, the trip was to last five days. Londons birthday was on the 27th.
Oh and just a warning, nothing goes as planned during this vacation.
I had reservations booked at Coronado Springs and had ordered our Florida 4-day Pass (we figured wed need a day of break in the middle and we werent planning to use the fourth day, but save it for later).
I had thrown London a mini-family birthday party earlier in the week, before we left, so no one was left out. He smashed his face in a cake and all was well in that area. The only thing we had to do the morning we left was bring the dogs (Minnie- Chihuahua, Danger- Maltese, and Bond- Maltese/Chihuahua named after 007) to the in-laws because no matter how small, our dogs would not do well in the World. Little did I know, throwing a party the evening before would wear me out. Jordan came back from taking the dogs to their vacation and I still hadnt packed a single thing. And we were to leave in under an hour.
Would we make it?!
Stay tuned .
Just wanted to say thank you if you read this. And Ill try to do my best. We have a Disney World trip planned for Londons birthday every year so maybe when I finish this it will be on to planning the next one. Thanks again!
