Hello everyone! Im fairly new to the Disboards so still getting to know you all. Anyway before I begin this PTR I should give some back story to why Im over the moon about it all.
But first let me introduce myself
Back in October 2011 I decided that I wasnt ready for university just yet and decided to take a gap year in America. I ended up in Chicago working as an Au Pair and one year turned into two. Two whole years being away from my family was hard. However while on this experience I had the chance to explore America and all the places I never thought I would get the chance to see with Disney World being one of them.
I went to Disney World twice over the two years both in January and after raving about to my family constantly after my first trip whenever we spoke, my mum surprised me at Christmas and told me she had purchased flight and park tickets and that all I had to do was book my flights from Chicago. I was shocked and completely surprised I had spent many years of my childhood trying to convince my family to sacrifice our summer trips to Cyprus for just once to go to Disney World and here I was going to Disney World three times in the space of two years. I quickly searched out the best flights and started my countdown not only for Disney World but for seeing my family finally (yes it took me a while to pluck up the courage to write this so I am further along in my planning)
I guess before I really get into this PTR I should show you my family!
My lovely mother and middle sister (17) (this was around four years ago now and my middle sister towers over me)
My crazy lovely dad being his cool self
Last but not least my little moo (the nickname is due to her real name)
she got all the cool from me as you can see
I guess I should share when we shall be there. We shall be there from the 21st of July to the 5th of June. Crazy season I am fully aware but it was the only way my mum could work it around my sisters school/college timetables. But that is part of the reason I think I have gone fully into plan, plan and more planning mode.
We are not staying on resort
However I can kinda breathe a sigh of relief because as you will hear from me undoubtedly many a times my dad is not a big crowd kinda guy. I'm shocked even more he agreed to this trip. However he has already booked a Harley Davidson for two of the days we are there so he can go explore Florida by himself while I drive the family Disney crazy.
Next post will be a rough outline of what the two weeks will look like!
I hope you stick with me while I try to find my niche in the world of PTR's!
