“INTO THE UNKNOWN: A Northern Girl’s Return To the World”
Welcome to this Pre-Trip Report and thank you for joining me.
It has been a VERY long time since I have written one of these and I am very out of practice.
I am not one for long, drawn out introductions so, let’s get straight to the matter at hand.
TRIP DETAILSWelcome to this Pre-Trip Report and thank you for joining me.
It has been a VERY long time since I have written one of these and I am very out of practice.
I am not one for long, drawn out introductions so, let’s get straight to the matter at hand.
Who:
Hi!
My name is Kimberly (aka Northern Disney Girl) and it has been 1203 days since I was last in Walt Disney World.
I have been around the DIS for quite a while but have been more of a lurker the last several years.
I am really excited about this trip and wanted to share it.
A Few of my Disney Facts:
First Trip: October 1988
Favourite Character: Mickey, of course!
Favourite Park: The OG, Magic Kingdom, Always & Forever
Favourite Ride: Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. #Classic
Favourite Disney Snack: Dole Whip
What:
What else do we do here?? We are Disney World People - we go to Walt Disney World!!!
This upcoming trip will be my 11th visit to WDW, my 9th stay on property and my 2nd Solo Adventure.
Where:
I am staying 6 nights at Disney’s Pop Century and 1 night at Art of Animation.
When:
April 22-29th, 2022
(30 DAYS!!!)
Why:
Do Disney World fans ever really need a reason??
Maybe?
OK.
Here are mine:
1. Well, as I mentioned above, it has been 1203 days since I was last in Walt Disney World. For anybody who needs that broken down, that is 3 years, 3 months and 17 days.
2. Like many of you, I am a seriously serious planner. I love to plan every detail of the trip. There have been MANY BIG changes to the WDW experience since I was last there and I am quite excited to figure it all out and see how it actually works in real time.
3. I am Canadian - because of the “thing that shall not be named” I have not been able to travel outside of my country for a very long time. I Love Disney and I miss it fiercely.
4. The last 3 winters have been especially brutal here in my hometown in Northwestern Ontario. For anybody not really familiar with how Canadian winters work - WE GET A LOT OF SNOW!!! Like, A LOT - actually, while I am writing this introduction we are on the tail end of a MAJOR snow system that just dumped another 40-50cm on our city (that's 16-20” for any of you who are south of the 49th parallel)
I AM OVER IT!!
I NEED SOME FLORIDA SUNSHINE
Other Important Details
Transportation:
From my hometown to Orlando I will be travelling by plane on Air Canada with a connection at Toronto Pearson. Once I arrive at MCO, I will be using Mears Connect to get to POP.
Tickets:
I have 6 Day Park Hoppers with Genie +.
Memory Maker:
I decided to spend a little extra and purchase this so I would not have to be asking people to take my picture. I want great memories of this trip and I think this will be helpful.
I think this is enough of the Basic Plan for now.
Since this trip is coming up rather quickly - only 30 days! - this will be a fairly short PTR.
In the next few installments I will share some of my more specific daily plans.
