Hello! Welcome to a TR about a Brother and a Sister! We're very excited about this upcoming trip. We consider ourselves seasoned Disney vets! We love the time we spend together, and will cherish it while we are old. Each time we are there we talk about bringing our respective families, and we always say we would continue our August tradition!
The Who:
Sister: Nicole, 23, works in the computer industry! Cherishes those trips to Disney, and time spent with family. 2010 is my last "planned" year living at home (the question is will things go as planned, right?) and since a November mother/daughter trip is in the works to New York, this might be the final trip to Disney in 2010.
Brother: David, 18. Guitar guy, Music buff, disney channel buff (look out for random Phineaus and Ferb quotes) A few of you have watched David grow up on the Dis, and now he's graduating High School! He is an aspiring chef and is known to whip up some random disney treats (I came home to find tie-dye cheesecake one day) So look out for sporadic bakings! He'll be contributing to the report in his own shade of blue He's joined us out in the working force, which is what makes this over-the-top trip possible!
And here are the details!
August 20th-22nd
Hard Rock Hotel at Universal Orlando
This is a stop we are really looking forward to! The Hard Rock is such an awesome, awesome hotel, and a lot of people don't like Universal but we love it. It's a great segway into Disney, and a great way to start the vacation!! Plus, by then the wizarding world of Harry Potter will be open, and we just can't wait! For Potter fans this is going to be INSANE We've been keeping a close eye on the awesome Dis thread, which has all these cool construction photos We also can't wait for the delicious Hard Rock mozzarella sticks by the pool, mama dellas at the portofino bay hotel, and just a relaxing time with our front of the line passes.
August 20th-22nd
The Polynesian Resort with Basic Dining!
Ahhhhh, cloud 9! Like I said before, with David in the working force and this being the last trip for a while, we decided to go all out, and that meant finally staying at a dream resort for us: The Poly. We've already talked about relaxing on the beach, wishes in our pajamas, utilizing the monorail, heading over to the contemporary arcade during afternoon breaks. We couldn't be more excited! I've been attached to TikiMan's Polynesian Site
learning all I can about the different longhouses and figuring out if we want to request one. As for now, I just want to request "balcony" because after getting accustomed to balconies in AKL and WL i'd be upset with just a window. We are in a Garden View, but depending on Passholder rates, who knows, maybe an upgrade?
We hope you continue to read and plan along with us. We've already made plans and ADRs that I can't wait to share!! Plus, look out for a mini-tr from David's birthday weekend trip we took February 17-20th!
