Welcome to our trip report! These are the tales of flossbolna's and nodnol's trip to Walt Disney World in January and February 2010.
We are two sisters from Germany and stayed at Animal Kingdom Lodge – I guess that should explain the title sufficiently!
Since one of us is a relatively frequent traveler to WDW and the other is a first time visitor, we hope to provide some insights from those different perspectives as well. My (flossbolna) writing will be this lovely royal blue you see now, nodnol will write in dark red.
We wrote a pre trip report (PTR) and had a lot of fun with that. It really helped us to keep motivated during the seven or so months that we waited for our trip. We „met“ a bunch of really lovely people during the process and hope to have all of you as well as any new readers along for the trip report as well!
If anyone would know more about our planning process, the PTR can be found here.
