Hello!
My name is Meghann and this is my first PTR/TR!
Who:
Meghann (Me)
AKA: Meg-hann Solo I am a 25 year old high school English teacher. I did a college program at Disneyland in spring 2013.
Jordan
AKA: Jor-Jor Binks
Jordan is a 28 year old insurance agent. She also was in the Spring 2013 College Program at Disneyland, Which is how we met. We were roommates and quickly became best friends.
Jordan lives in Phoenix and I live in West Virginia, so although we talk just about every day, we only get to see each other about every two years. This trip will be our six year reunion. Our two year reunion was returning to Disneyland for the 60th celebration. Our 4 year reunion was exploring West Virginia and spending a few days in New York City. And now we will be reuniting at Disney World, which will be Jordan's first visit!
I am 100% a planner! I am frequently asked to help friends with planning and I always jump on the opportunity to do so.
This trip has been in theoretical planning for going on 4 years and in actual planning since about January 2017. As soon as the booking window opened I jumped on it! Now, I don't think I could find something else to plan for it if I tried
Without further ado, here is the plan:

I decided to decorate my planning binder! I found all of the images on google images, printed them out, and glued them to sheets of paper so I could slide them down in the cover of my binder. The binder is a .5 inch, 3 ring binder from Walmart.

And the Spine (this one I used gel-pens to draw the Mickeys)
I will upload pictures of the inside of my binder in a new post.
