Most of you know I sold off the majority of my pin collection a few weeks ago. I was really sad about it but the money was extremely needed so there was not much choice there.
Megan and her dad came to pick them up and we just hit it off right away. They stayed for several hours chatting and looking over the pins. My 4 year old may have tortured her dad for a little while but we had a really great time meeting one another. Since then we have chatted on the phone several times and it is like I have found a long lost sister. Making a new friend has been great and makes letting go of a much loved collection 10 times easier. :lol:
WELL, yesterday I get a call from Megan with this "crazy idea". Alright, I am all for crazy ideas, let me hear it.
She asks me to come down to Disney for the event and spend a few days down there with them. She needed to make sure she would be able to sign her dads ticket over to me and I needed to make sure I could find a way to get down there so we tried not to get too excited and said we would see what we could find out.
Well, as of this morning the ticket has been changed to my name and I am booked on Amtrak to head down to Disney!!! I got a phone call saying "PACK YOUR BAGS, YOU ARE GOING TO DISNEY WORLD". :lol: I can not TELL you how excited I am. I had no idea when I would be able to plan another trip 2 days ago and now I am going in a week!!! I have also never been to a pin event before in all of my years of collecting but have always wanted to so I am beyond excited to be able to do this.
I told her this morning I have always been the "parent" taking the kids to disney every year and now I get to go and feel like "the kid" myself. I don't even know what to do with myself...lol I am just so excited about this. If you see a crazy person having a wonderful time acting like a kid, well, don't mind me. :lol:
I can not believe that selling my pins has led to meeting great people, making a wonderful friend and now plans to have a blast in Disney for 3 days!
SO, I need some help with one thing... transportation!! I will be arriving at the Amtrak Station Friday morning at about 10:20 (unless is runs late obviously) and then back to the Amtrak Station from AKV on Sunday at 6:30-7. I have checked on taxi service and it is going to run me close to $50 each way! I can not fathom having to spend $100 to get to and from AKV and the Amtrak Station. I can not seem to find out about shuttles or something like that. Does anyone know of any way to get between the 2 points any cheaper? I was counting on $20-$25 each way being just one person but not $50. Heck, I am only paying $100 for the whole roundtrip Amtrak ride so I can not imagine doubling that just over a 25 minute drive. Crazy I tell you. I have searched and searched with no luck at all. Anyone else coming in around that time on Amtrak by chance so we could maybe split a fare? IDEAS?? PLEASE??
Can't wait to meet some of you. This will be my first time meeting any pin traders in person so I can't wait.
