********* Pre Trip **********
This is my first Trip Report and not sure how this is supposed to be like so I hope you like it. I haven’t had the chance to go on a real vacation for a couple of years due to work and situations in my personal life. So right around the Christmas and New years I decided that I wanted to go to Disney again. Since I am not one to travel anywhere else it was an easy decision. I prefer not to fly because of being Pooh Sized and its just not comfortable for me. My job that I have now is flexible with time off so all I had to do was talk my Mom into going by car since I knew I wouldn’t need to talk her into going in the first time. We originally wanted to arrive on Monday 5/17 and we wanted to stay until 5/22. We booked for the Pop Century but discovered the discount code for Ft Wilderness Cabins. We wanted to keep the same dates but found out that if we checked in 2 days earlier we could get the discount otherwise we were out of luck. So now May 15th to May 22nd whoohoo! 2 extra days. We wanted to extend our stay by 1 or 2 days because we wanted to make it worth buying a Annual Pass. We plan on going again later in the year. When the discount codes came out I never noticed the AP Code so I booked at the BBY code rate for the Boardwalk Inn Standard view. After going online I realized that AP Rates also came out and called back and switched to that rate. So now we are going 5/15-5/24.
I had gotten a gift card to the mall from my place of employment for the Holidays so I bought a 6 day PHP but will upgrade to an AP before C/I and my mom is also purchasing an AP when we get there. We started planning on where to eat, what things we wanted to try and things we would need since we would be driving just the 2 of us in my 2 year old car. Took the car in for its tune up and bought new tires for it. Went with a family member to AAA and got a Trip Tick and all the books that come with it for the drive. Purchased a EZ Pass for the tolls and Bought new clothes for the trip. With all things done and mostly packed all I have to do now is wait and make time pass faster.
Sorry this was long winded
