Amanda’s Trip of Firsts at WDW (9/18/05-9/30/05) Pre-Trip Report - LONG

I’ve been writing trip reports for myself for many, many years; however, this will be the first time I’ve shared a trip report outside of my family. Hopefully, you’ll all enjoy. I’ll also apologize now as I can sometimes be a bit wordy.

A little background…This is my first solo trip to Walt Disney World. I’ve always traveled with family before now. My last trip was in Nov/Dec of 2002 with my Mom, Dad and youngest nephew. Since that time both of my parents have passed away and the rest of my family are not as crazy about WDW as I am. They just can’t understand how I can spend so much money to go somewhere I’ve been many times before.

What do I do now? It’s just me and I’m a little worried I won’t have as much fun if I don’t have a crowd of people with me. WDW is my favorite place to be, but can I do it alone? Well, I’m going to find out, because I’m heading to Florida on September 18th ready or not!

Now that I’ve got myself ready to go, what am I going to do? Well, since it’s my first solo trip why not try other things for the first time too?

My Itinerary
All new things for me are preceded by *
