Players in the adventure:
Lauren: The girlfriend. Disneyland Cast Member. Has never been to Florida, let alone Walt Disneyworld before.
Me: Intrepid explorer. Also, a Disneyland Cast Member. Has been to the 'World 4 times prior; which of course makes me the ultimate authority on everything Disneyworld...or not...
This all begins a few months ago when, for some insane reason, I decided that Lauren and I needed to venture down south to the good ol' little brother to our own home of Disneyland, and visit Walt Disney World. Where this idea came from escapes me, but it seemed like a good one at the time. After all, being Cast Members, we had free admission to the four parks, as well as our discounts on the merchandise and food--which didn't mean that we came home with any more money than we would have as day guests, just that we were able to gorge ourselves more on food and goodies. In addition, my parents were members of the DVC and holders of several unused frequent flyer miles that they were generous enough to donate to the cause. All of a sudden, my pipe dream was starting to look reasonably likely. We officially got the notice at Christmas, but that doesn't mean that we had not already gotten the time off from work and the ADRs in. We then proceeded to go into ultra-planning mode, (OK mostly me...Lauren didn't want to ruin any of the surprises that awaited her), spending most of our free time on the inter-webs looking up any sort of tips or minutia that might help us to get the most out of our trip. This brings us to Day 1.

Sounds very, very familiar. Grants Pass familiar.
