I'm Just SO HAPPY to be Here!
Hello, and to my fourth trip report! This is the story of my 6th trip to Disney World, the 5th with my husband, Ben! We started visiting together in 2009 when we were dating, got engaged at Disney World, and honeymooned there in July/August 2012!
What brought us back so soon? Does anybody REALLY need a reason? I know I don't, but a free dining pin code certainly helped us make the decision to head back!
We hadnt expected to go back so soon in fact, when we left at the end of our honeymoon, we had decided that we wouldnt go back until 2014, when the new Fantasyland was (hopefully), complete. The fact that we kind of surprised ourselves with this trip helped us really take the time to smell the roses and enjoy, because we felt absolutely no rush or pressure to do anything in particular this trip was a bonus, after all!! I think I must have said "I'm just SO HAPPY to be here" twenty times a day, which makes it the perfect title for this trip report!
So, what do you need to know about us to fully enjoy reading our story?
First, theres me:
Im Christin, and I turned 26 just prior to this trip. I work in higher education student affairs, and got amazing career related news during this trip! I love to read, watch movies and tv, travel, try new restaurants, and run. I write with way too many exclamation points, so get ready for a lot of excitement in this trip report!!!!!!!
My favorite ride at Disney World is the Tower of Terror, with Haunted Mansion and Splash Mountain as close seconds. I dont have one favorite character, but the Winnie the Pooh gang will always hold a special place in my heart, and Donald always cracks me up! I also cant choose one favorite movie but The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast rank high on my list, which made the new Fantasyland all the more exciting for me!
Then, theres Ben:
Ben is 29 and works in gaming at a local casino. We got married on 7.22.12 at our local aquarium, with a Beluga Whale overlooking the ceremony! Check out my previous trip report for wedding pictures! He loves to do all kinds of sports including baseball, hockey, martial arts and rock climbing. He also loves video games and fantasy football (both of these drive me crazy!!!!). Ben is goofy and always loves to have a good time, which makes him a great companion on Disney trips! He loves to skip down Main Street USA!
Bens favorite ride is Rockn Roller Coaster, but he also loves Space Mountain and Everest! Ben is a thrill ride guy for sure! His favorite characters are Donald and Grumpy, along with any of the funny, sarcastic or quirky characters. He doesnt have a favorite movie, but he really enjoyed watching Brave on the flight down this trip!
Now that we are all friends, Ben and I would love for you to accompany us as we relive our trip! What can you expect to read about? All kinds of new and new to us adventures!!
For example, this trip included:
- Cirque du Soleil La Nouba
- Bowling at Splitsville
- Gatorland!!
- New Fantasyland
- Art of Animation
- AMCs Dine In Movie Theater
Basically, we had 8 nights of fun and excitement that we cant wait to share with you!!!!
So, without further ado, get comfortable, grab some popcorn, and get ready to come along for the ride! Thanks in advance for reading; I would love for you all to comment, introduce yourselves, and just let me know you are here as we go along!
Next stop, DISNEY WORLD!!!!!
