Thatās great! Youāre going to have a blast! My best [unsolicited] advice I can give is just to roll with whatever happens and you canāt go wrong.
I look forward to your report!
Absolutely loved your report! And your concluding thoughts are spot on. Disney is so special and any subsequent holidays (vacations) just donāt have that pixie dust and thatās why we all want to go back againā¦and again! Re-immersion at Orlando airport is tough!!
Your badge says it all 
Thanks for sharing

hahah The airport was, indeed, tough. After a week of being constantly on the move, the sudden ānothing to doā also didnāt do me any favors. And Iām not only worried about other vacations outside Disney, but even if I would/could go back to Disney within the next decade, Iām concerned I would almost be bored. Iām sure Iām being dumb, but I did do a lot and I canāt think of much I didnāt do that could take another week to explore/experience (though that doesnāt at all deter me from wanting to go back, if anything, Iām eager to test the theory 
).
And thank you for reading!
Glad you enjoyed it! thank you for reading!

We have been to Disney 6 times, so far, and have never been bored! We go back again this Autumn. I still donāt feel I have done it all! We do have days away from the parks though, we are from the UK, so we want to explore a bit of America too. We have done beaches, air boat rides, the space centre, mini golf and of course Universal Even eating out at the many restaurants around 192 is an experience for us.
Also you will have to go back to: experience a more themed resort, try Avitar/pandora and the new Star Wars

I enjoyed your trip report and wondered if you still had no plans to go back?

Hah thank you!
No, the plans have certainly changed and Iām looking to go back this September, celebrating my graduation from college. The biggest difference is this time I wonāt be alone as Iāll be taking my mom with me (sheās had a tough couple of years so I invited her to go with me).
Now that Iām in the thick of planning, I have found it just as daunting (and addicting) as before. So many things that happened the first time are happening again, like waiting for flights to open up, hours to solidify, where to eat, and figuring out how to do as much as I can without burning out.
This new trip has some new challenges too. The added logistics of having an extra person, who does not move at the same speed or is interested in the same things as me, is definitely one of them. At the risk of over-sharing, her mental health is failing, so where it was originally supposed to be ātwo solo trips converging at timesā, is now being treated as āone trip with me having to keep constant tabs on herā and that is providing the biggest challenge. Mostly in the communications area as Iām trying to make it as easy as possible yet as unintrusive as possible.
To my great relief though, and unlike before, I am going into this with far more confidence in Disneyās ability to deliver a āmagical timeā so Iām looking to make this her best vacation ever. I even have a fairly strong hope that Disney Magic will help her mental state a bit to where itāll even turn out better than Iām predicting.

I hope it works out great for you both. Is she excited or daunted at the prospect of WDW? and where are you staying?

Thanks. Though sheās not really either, if Iām honest. Though sheās been there more than I have, each time has been a chaotic mess because Touring Plans were not a thing, so I think thatās tempering her expectations a bit.
She also says she canāt get excited because it doesnāt āfeel realā yet. To help with that, Iāve been scheduling ādisney planningā sessions. Which is really just getting together to review my scheming thus far, watch a disney movie, watch some classic Disney programs about the construction of Disneyland or Disney World (which are kinda hard to find), and/or go shopping for the trip. So far, not really seeing an improvement cause weāve only been able to do one.
As for where weāll be staying, I took advantage of the ability to rent Disney Vacation Club points and scored a theme park room in Bay Lake Tower.
