The "I'm Stuck on Figuring Out a Title for my Trip Report" Trip Report - UPDATED 7/5
After having my computer crash and losing 2500 photos, which caused me to totally give up the TR, making me become one of “those people”, I wasn’t going to write a trip report this year. However, we’re one day away from leaving and the URGE hit me! So, here I am. I’m having a hard time starting, so in my own way of doing things, I’m going to ramble. We were originally going to take our trip in November because this year Disney launched it’s All About Me Celebration . This trip was going to be called All About Me anyway, so this was perfect!
Oh, I guess it’s called What Will You Celebrate ? Anyway, we had a very cold winter and on our way home from H&R Block in the negative 8 temperature(brr!), knowing we were getting a fat refund, I said, “Dear, couldn’t we go back to WDW sooner?” ......
My DH, Ben, says “Well to be honest, I would like to get back before November!”
Well that was really all it took. We started jabbering away and making plans. Firstly, we had to call Member Services and see where we could book with only 200 points and 6 people. We knew our dates were for sometime during the first part of June, but not the first week. We had some days of school to make up and there was a good chance we’d have to go into June, so that wasn’t doable. Luck was on our side and we booked two studios for a 6 nights at SSR starting June 13. Well there were many, many changes to come about (of course!) because I wholeheartedly think that you cannot plan a trip to WDW without changing your mind at least 100 times. It was that night that I realized that we were going to be down there the same time as my friend and former boss, Dorthy, and her family would be at Pop Century. Yours truly helped them book that one! I called Dorthy up and told her the good news!! She did cartwheels around her living room the only way a 77 year old woman can! I this lady, she is a great friend.
