Hello and welcome to my latest Trip Report. This will probably be the last one for a while as I dont have any plans to go back to WDW till 2017. Of course everyone that knows me says theres no way Ill make it that long so we shall see.
For those who are new to my reports, my name is Ariana, Im 41 and I live outside of Atlanta, GA. Here I am with my favorite guy in the whole world.
I am married but my husband, Jim, is not a huge Disney fan. He has gone a few times with me but does not have the urge to run back the second we get home. Once every two or three years is fine with him. Here we are hanging out with Gaston.
We dont have any two-legged kids but do have four four-legged babies.
Our oldest guy is a schnauzer named Eddie. Hes 13, completely blind (lost both his eyes to glaucoma), and is going a bit senile. Hes still my baby though, weve had him since he was six weeks old. Because of his dark coloring, I have an awful time getting good pictures of him but I managed to get this one a few weeks ago. My Mom says he looks scary in this picture but I dont think so.
Next in line is Alex. Hes 8 years old and a Schnauzer mix. His Mom was a pure-bred Schnauzer who went for a walk one day and came back pregnant. He is the first of our babies that followed me home from the Animal Shelter that I volunteer at. He is a complete Mamas boy and is almost always somewhere near me.
Sierra is our 4 year old Schnauzer and she is 100% Jims baby.
Our final baby is Remy. He is the second one that followed me home from the shelter. We brought him home to foster over Christmas last year and he never went back. He turned 5 in December and is a Yorkshire terrier. He and Sierra are best buds and like to beat the snot out of each other daily.
This trip was my fourth in 2014 and my ninth since 2010. Prior to that I had gone six times so this trip was #15 overall. In February of this year, we did a huge family trip to Disney and my cousin got married while we were there. In May, Jim and I did a quick weekend for the Flower and Garden festival. TRs for both of those trips are complete and are in my signature if you care to go back. My third trip was a Mother/Daughter trip in October and we had a great time. The TR for that trip is still in progress.
So a little more about this trip:
Who: Me, me and me! This was my 2nd solo trip and I had an absolute blast. While I love going with other people, I find solo trips to be very freeing and this one was no exception.
When: November 29th December 7th, 2014. Eight glorious days to do what I wanted, when I wanted.
Where: Preferred Room at All Star Movies with a request to be in the 101 Dalmatian section. I was very happy to receive my request and I did enjoy the resort. Ive stayed at all the values now except for AOA and I can say that POP is still my favorite.
Finally, about the title of the TR. As I stated above, Pluto is my main man. I have loved him for as long as I can remember. I have several Pluto souvenirs that I have had my whole life and have an entire room in my house dedicated to him. So I pretty much made this trip all about him. I wore mostly Pluto gear and met him numerous times. Just how many? Youll have to stick around to find that out.
I did have two other titles in mind for the TR which might give you a hint of whats to come.
A Cupcake a Day Keeps the Disney Blues Away
A Plethora of Character Paloozas
Up Next: The Trip is Finally Here!
