Hello, DISboards! Im Sarah, and you have somehow stumbled onto my Trip Report for my amazing November 2014 Walt Disney World trip. For those of you interested in reading my ramblings on planning, heres a link to my PTR. However, reading the PTR is not necessary for enjoying the TR, so feel free to skip the planning and just continue reading here (this is especially true for those of you who already read the PTR).

Small Summary of the Vacation:
AWESOME! As anyone who read my PTR knows, my plan was to do most of the rides and meet most of the characters, all in 3.5 days. That plan derailed pretty quickly (but we expected that). Overall, we did almost everything we had listed as must dos (may have actually done everything Id have to check my notes) and saw most of the characters we wanted to see (including some new characters: Anna and Elsa, Aladdin and Jasmine, Rapunzel, Rafiki, and Beast).
This was our first time going in November (previous trips have been February with the family , January, March (the mess that was spring break), and October). Overall, waits were pretty decent. Character waits were generally longer than ride waits. Our longest ride wait was Peter Pans Flight, which was about 40 minutes (listed wait time was 30 minutes, but it was about 3:20 and we were getting there at the same time as the people who had just watched the parade). Many rides were walk-ons, and the ones that werent had waits of about 10-15 minutes. I think we chose our FP+ well most of them were walk-on with the FP+ and had long or semi-long standby lines.
The title of this TR was one of our mottos/guidelines/rules for the trip ... and becomes especially relevant on Day 3. But you'll have to wait for that story.
So, thats my introduction. Ill start posting actual trip report soon Ive got about 750 pictures to sort through, so it might take a while, but hopefully Ill be able to at least start trip reporting soon!
