Hello Everyone! I am a long time lurker of these boards and am excited to announce that our first ever trip to Disneyland together is in the works!!! I figured this is the best trip to start my first ever PTR because I will need a lot of advice!
Who is "our" you ask! Me - Emily and DBF - Wonks, of course!
A few things to note - we are WDW people, both born and raised! We are from Pennsylvania and were fortunate to go often as children - Wonk's grandmother lived in FL and they would visit WDW while visiting her and my grandparents were generous enough to take my entire family 1 to 2 times per year!
Also to note, we are Penn State fanatics (as if you couldn't tell), we both graduated from there!
Anyways - on with the introductions!
This is Wonks. I am going to go ahead and say his favorite thing in the 'world' is the Schofferhofer grapefruit beer that is on tap in the Germany Pavilion at EPCOT!
It was pretty hard to convince him to fly across the US from PHL to LAX (5.5 hour flight!) but alas, I have won! It took some extra convincing, but I used a weak spot... His family is into racing horses and since there are a few great tracks out in LA, I told him we could check those out on our trip as well and his eyes lit right up(mwahaha). He has always expressed an interest in checking out Disneyland too and now all of his dreams are coming true! Sidenote: the furthest Wonks has ever been on a plane is to Dallas, 3.5 hours, so I am nervous about this 5.5 hour flight for him!
Here are some of his favorites (maybe some will change after Disneyland!)
Favorite Park: Magic Kingdom
Favorite Ride: Splash Mountain
Favorite Character: B'rer Rabbit (see above)
Favorite Resort: Port Orleans Riverside
Favorite WDW Food: Dole Whip Float - must be Vanilla Soft Serve with Pineapple Juice!
Favorite WDW Drink: Schofferhofer Grapefruit Beer from Germany Pavilion
This is me, Emily. This picture is from my first and only visit to Disneyland where my friend and I attended the 24 hour event in 2013! I have been to LAX quite a few times since 2012 since one of my childhood friends moved there after college. I loved hiking the Hollywood sign trail, eating at In n Out, visiting the wineries and dipping my toes in the Pacific Ocean. I can't wait to 'show' Wonks around.
Here are some of my favorites
Favorite Park: Magic Kingdom
Favorite Ride: Big Thunder Mountain Railroad (never got to go on in DL, it was closed for refurb)
Favorite Character: Minnie Mouse
Favorite Resort: Port Orleans Riverside
Favorite WDW Food: Cheese soup from Canada or ANY breakfast buffet (the real way to my heart )
Favorite WDW Drink: Banana Cabana from Hollywood Studios or any resort pool bar!
I hope that you will join me on our planning adventure!!!
Next Post: When we're going!
