The "We Made It Through Undergrad and now we're going to Disney!" Pre-Trip Report
So finally...after much convincing, I finally got my friend to agree to go to Disney for a vacation. So here is the pre-trip report for our trip!

Dates: August 3-7th
The Team: Me (Lauren), Sarah (the bff), and Ben (The bff's bf)
Hotel: TBD

Since the three of us completed our undergraduate degrees from different universities this past May, we decided it was time to treat ourselves. I am super, super excited! This trip may also prove to get me some much needed face time with people who could help me get a job at Disney. Check the link in my signature to read my CP posts! I had a blast and want to continue working for them, but it's been hard to get back.

I am so pumped to be doing this!! We will be plotting all week so be on the look out for updates and feel free to make and recommendations for us!

UPDATES~*~*~*~*~
We booked the trip! We had a few changes though

Ben is working on his masters and is taking a class this summer to get him ready for his final year. So we had to change our dates slightly

NEW:
Dates: August 7th- 11th.
RESORT: Caribbean Beach!!!!!

We have decided to fly so we are hoping for an early flight in so we can hit the park for most of the day on the 7th! I am super excited!!

More plans to come!

I'd plan on lunch for the table service. It's going to be hot when you go and what better way to cool down in some AC and drinking something that's refilled early and often. Also I wouldn't want to waste the night time and cooler time with a TS.

Hollywood Brown Derby at least for lunch was a hit for us.
I like CP at MK but I like breakfast the best and just before park opens. Another option is to take an afternoon break with a monorail ride over to the Poly or GF or boat to WL.

Epcot is a hard one because there's plenty that's good. LeCellier always gets my vote but so does Chef's De France. I'm not a fan of R&C or San Angel.

First night, I love to eat at a monorail resort. I like to ride the monrail loop or loops before dinner. After dinner, I like to sip on a frozen adult beverage, watch Wishes and Electri Water pageant from the beach.

Those are my thoughts and ideas. Anyone else
