So even though we just got back from our Valentines trip last week, my boyfriend and I have already booked our hotel for the next one!
Cast of characters, huh?
There's me, Jenna!
And my boyfriend, Christopher!
Semi-quick Disney summary! - I'm a 23 year old student from Northern California. My first trip was when I was eight years old (my parents tricked me and told me we were going to see my dad's friends Michael and Mindy). Then when I was sixteen my parents and I went to The World for our first and only trip as a family. As my graduation gift, my parents paid for a week spent in DL with my bff. Then in 2009 my mom and dad took my boyfriend and I to DL for New Years as their Christmas gift to us. It was the first real vacation Chris and I had taken at that point since we'd only been dating 9 months or so.
Fast forward a few years and he and I decided we wanted to go again! By this point my parents were now separated and we'd gotten 3 day park hoppers for Christmas from my mom (.. Disney tickets are a trend for her), and my dad sent me $500 in cash, so a large chunk of our bill was taken care of. We went over Presidents weekend in 2013 and had an absolute blast. So much so, that we knew we would want to go back...sometime.
Throughout the year we contemplated buying annual passes but nothing ever came of it. In December my mom surprised us with premium passes as our Christmas gift! Oh man we were BEYOND EXCITED to start planning a trip. Chris really wanted to go before the year was over but I knew I wouldn't be able to afford it.. and I hate putting something on credit that I can't readily have paid for by the end of that month. We decided to start planning a trip for early 2014. I thought we should go before I went back to school, but my mom really wanted to go with us and wouldn't be able to make it on such short notice. So we figured, hey why not go during the weekend we went the year previously? Our February trip was born!
My mom, aunt, Chris and I spent 4 crazy days in DL and DCA and it was great! But there were so many 'lazy' things Chris and I like to do (like sitting around and drawing cast members...then having them sign it) that we weren't able to - we knew we'd be wanting to head back sometime soon.
Thus, helloooo spring break trip!
up next, trip details! But first I need to go make some chocolate chunk cookies, yumm
