Disney Challenge Day 2

Day #2: Your favorite princess

pocahontas

Pocahontas!!!!

Unfortunately this young lady is often forgotten but she is, in fact, more of a princess than most of the other ladies we call princesses.  What a brave person she is.  Her courageousness is something we can all learn from!

Disney Challenge Day 1

Just a quick intro, I’ve discovered that some people do this thing called the 30 Day Disney Challenge on their blogs so I decided to give it a try since I am just about 30 days out from going to Disney World. Basically you just post whatever the prompt is for that day.

Day #1: Your Favorite Character

hercules

Hercules!

Now I am still a devoted Disney Villain fan but I decided to go with Hercules on this one.  There is no particular reason he is my favorite.  In fact, I had a tough time trying to pick between Herc and Peter Pan.  They are neck and neck in my book.

Getting Closer!!!!

Well things are really starting to get into motion here! I am becoming more and more anxious every day.  For the last little while I have been weighing out possible travel plans and other options.  The one thing holding me back from setting it all in stone was the fact that Amberlie and I were still waiting to find out if her little sister, Janessa, got accepted.  There was still the possibility of us driving out to Florida but that probably wasn’t going to happen unless Janessa got in.  For that reason, I didn’t book a flight.  I was also trying to figure out how it would work if we drove back because my family and I are going to Disneyland just a few days before I go to Florida.

After a long wait, we got the news: Janessa wasn’t accepted to participate in the DCP.  I was so sad because I was looking forward to getting to know her better.  Amberlie was pretty bummed too because it threw off quite a few plans.  Now she has to try and find a roommate though Facebook and whatnot.  The plus side to finding out about Janessa’s status was that we could move forward with planning.  We researched out different airlines (since we wouldn’t be driving anymore) and chose a Southwest flight that leaves Las Vegas at 6:30 am and arrives in Orlando at 4:45.  We are excited about that because it gives us time to experience a little bit of Orlando before we wind down and get ready for check-in the next day.  The next step is to book our shuttle from the Orlando airport to our hotel.

We are staying at a Comfort Suites right near Disney World and Vista Way the night before which will make it pretty easy for check-in.  Making all these reservations is making it so much more real!!! I have been meeting a lot of neat people online and I can’t wait to meet them all in person.
