I thought i would start a log for my upcoming trip in November since i'm going to start packing soon.
My next trip out to Disney World is going to be a little challenging, but so worth it! I leave November 1st for a work trip to Vegas, i then leave there the 5th and fly down to Orlando for the following 6 days.
This is my first time doing a split trip and to mention my stay at Disney World will be a split stay on top of that!
I am still trying to work out how I will juggle my luggage and manage to fit an assortment of business professional attire and cute Disney outfits on top of all the medication and equipment i need into one big bag!
To explain some smaller details of my life and the trip let me introduce myself!
Hello I'm Marissa! I am 23 and I spend all my spare time traveling all over the world but mostly to Disney World/Land. I have a genetic disease called Cystic Fibrosis and this past year my health was at an all time low. In June a doctor advised me to give up traveling until I have a double lung transplant and am in a healthier condition and I was given two years left to live. I decided that if that was going to be the time I had I wasn't going to waste it! So I am spending all the time (and finances) I can manage to be in the places I love the most (while still working to be healthier too).
This trip was originally scheduled to be a reunion with 3 of my closest friends from my college program in 2013, we haven't all been together since November of that year. Then I had the opportunity to go on a work trip on top of that and I couldn't turn it down so I'm arriving in Orlando a day after my friends. I can't wait to wear a reunion button and see some of my absolute favorite people!
I'm also super excited to have the privilege to be in Disney World for their Christmas parade taping! It's been one of my biggest dreams to be at the parade! I had the opportunity to participate in the Disney college program fall of 2013. I thought that would be my chance to see the parade filming but my health forced me to end my program that November. Last year I spent Christmas in the hospital fighting off influenza and pneumonia the beginning of a long battle that I am still trying to recover from today, but knowing that I will be accomplishing one of my biggest dreams that I never thought would happen gives me so much hope for the future.
I can't wait to update this log on my trip and my adventure, i hope you'll follow me along the way!
