Trip report time! I’ll be covering my November 2016 trip. Onward! Hello and welcome to Jenn’s TREAT YOURSELF 2016! Close enough. Let us begin. As is tradition, I slept terribly the night before my flight, but I nonetheless bounced out of bed at 4:45am because such is the power of Walt Disney World. My dad dropped me off at...

Let’s talk about champagne. Yes! I knew you’d be up for it. If you read my trip recap, you’ll recall that last year my travel buddy Elizabeth missed our flight down to WDW for the Wine & Dine Half Marathon. Luckily she was able to snag a seat on a later plane, but the end result was that even...
