[Cam22]

[B]I have been remiss in getting my own Pre-Trip Report started as I've been having so much fun reading and keeping up with the many DoD TRs that are currently populating our boards. But we are only 13 days away so it is past time to get started.


So without further ado, I begin with the
Cast of Characters:

First is little ole me -- Cam22 or just plain ole Cam.


I am 50, a high school English teacher/department coordinator, and a Disney fanatic\master planner. This will be my 9th trip to the World and my first trip home to AKV.

Next is my sweet DH Luke aka Batman.



Luke is 48, an Information Systems Manager for a school district, and a Batman/model train fanatic who loves Disney, too. This will be his 9th trip to the World and his first trip home to AKV.

He bought me points at AKV for my 50th birthday last summer. Have I mentioned what a sweetheart he is! He really is!!!

Last, but definitely not least is Princess Stefanie herself.



Stefanie is 23, a volunteer at the high school where I work, and an obsessed, super duper Disney fanatic who truly believes she is a Princess. She dates all major life events by Disney vacations. This will be her 8th trip to the World and her first trip home to AKV. She keeps telling me not to flirt with the giraffes like I did last time we stayed at AKL in 2003.



Together the three of us make an awesome team at the World.


Setting
Time -- Saturday, June 6 - Thursday, June 18
Place -- Saturday, Nashville, TN with a stay at the Residence Inn near the airport; Sunday through the following Thursday (i. e. 11 nights/12 days) , AKV - Kidani Village with a stay in a one-bedroom villa with a savannah view. I'll flirt with the giraffe if I want to, regardless of Princess Stefanie's decree.
Carriage Ride (i. e. transportation-- Southwest out of BNA to MCO, leaving at 7:05 AM and arriving at 9:50 AM followed by DME ride to AKV. The Princess has decreed that we will need to visit the restrooms prior to boarding either the plane or the bus as to go on the plane is just downright yucky!
