My name is Raeven!
I'm a Slytherin, love Guardians of the Galaxy (the title of this TR is one of my favorite lines in the new holiday special ), and it's been a long time since I've been to the parks around the holidays so I was really excited for this trip.
Another reason I was really excited for this trip is it was the first trip I took with my friend Kayleigh!
Kayleigh and I met when we both used to do Youtube videos a few years ago. Even though we both stopped making videos, we kept in contact. This summer we were discussing taking a trip so we could meet up, and decided to visit the parks during the holidays. This was a short trip so we only had a few days to work with, but I think we packed a lot into our days while still leaving a little down time so we could hang out. Kayleigh had only been to Disney once as a child, and had never been to Universal so this was basically her first trip, and I wanted to make sure she saw all the holiday offerings. As you can see she's a Slytherin too!
A little background: I've been taking trips to Disney and Universal since 2015 usually with my boyfriend Josh, but I haven't been around the holidays since 2018. So when Kayleigh and I started discussing taking a trip in December we decided it would be fun to go to the parks. Our trip was from Dec 1st-5th.
We wanted to enjoy the holiday offerings, but hopefully miss out on the larger crowds that arrive later in December. We divided the trip in half and stayed two nights at Universal, and two at Disney. We stayed at Aventura and Port Orleans Riverside.
We also attended our first Orlando Informer Event at Universal!
