Hello all! Im fairly new to the DISboards and decided maybe I would like to do a TR. I thought about doing both a PTR and TR as separate threads, but then realized I am not that witty and wordy and picture-y to fill 2 threads. SO I am going to combine them into one.

Trip Report Part 1
Magic Kingdom Day PT 1
Magic Kingdom Day PT 2
Im Samantha (29) and I am taking my Disney Father (DF51) and my Disney Mother (DM53) for their FIRST EVER trip to WDW. I have been 3 other times and the info is in my siggie, but I will also list here. I teach at the high school where I graduated from. Although not a band/choir teacher, I am close friends with all the directors and frequently help out with their events and trips. That led me to being the first chaperone always signed up for the trips. No, it isnt free. I still pay the same package fees as everyone else.
March 2003---Senior in HS band trip to WDW/Universal
March 2010---Chaperone for HS band trip
March 2014---Chaperone for HS band trip
So back to this trip .we WERE planning on going to Vegas this summer, but then one day I decided we NEEDED to go to Disney. I told my parents that they could get old and still go see Vegas. Mom and I have been about 3 times, but Dad was never able to go with us. I told them with the extent of walking with Disney, it was something we should do soon so they werent too old to experience it physically. They both laughed at my reasoning. I looked into prices and packages and here we are today!
I have never stayed at a Disney resort, but knew this was going to be a big trip and we wanted to do it up big. We are booked for 5 nights at Pop Century, 4 days of tickets WITH hopper and DDP. We talked about Universal, but they arent really into thrill rides and I cant justify buying tickets to do maybe 3 things in the park.
Here is our plan thus far

Check-in to hotel
Dinner at Trails End

Magic bands came in recently and we celebrated by having Mickey Pancakes for supper.
I have a space in my house where I have been stocking up on what we need to pack for the trip: decorations for the window at our resort, Clorox wipes, sling bag, ponchos, etc. I will keep you updated as things get rolling!
I still have a few days of work to get through (banquets, graduation, cleaning up room) before I can throw myself into packing full force! Glad to have you aboard our magic carpet ride!!!
