Firsts this trip: First time stayin on property, first adult trip, first time and Universal, first F&WF, first Hoop Dee Doo Revue, first time going on any rides (I know, weird. But his family hates rides so they only went to shows and shopping)
A little about us:
We met playing boyfriend and girlfriend in a local theater company's production of West Side Story (insert AWWWW! here) and have been pretty much inseperable ever since. We've been friends for over 8 years, dating for almost 6, and we got married September 3rd, 2011 after a 2.5 year engagement. This WDW trip will be a late honeymoon/1 year anniversary trip for us. We are also in the process of moving into our first house right now so this vacation will be much needed!
