Loved your intro. Sounds like it’s gong to be a fab trip.

The family tease me mercilessly about the excessive planning, but the anticipation is part of the fun! At the start of the planning, everything still seems possible..... The villa offsite certainly helps with the cost but there’s no getting away from it, flying in from overseas is expensive...

My condolences. Members of my family went through something similar and it’s tough on everyone. We’re booked for AKL and had a preference for a Savannah view with bunk beds. However we were able to get a sizeable discount off rack rate with Magical Vacation Travel for our 3 nights but this was...

I don't remember EVER seeing a seagull on any of our previous WDW trips. At coastal towns and cities in the UK they're a complete menace. huge, aggressive and in many places, completely out-of-control. To the point where eating anything outdoors should be classed as a dangerous sport. They've...

Yup! I completely get that. Sometimes it's just not worth the hassle. The worst/funniest thing is when you've had a sub-par meal and, for whatever reason, you just can't be bothered making a fuss, figuring you'll chalk it up to experience and simply won't return. Then the waiter goes and asks...

It sounds like it's going to be a wonderful trip. Looking forward to hearing all about it.

It's been a little while since I posted but there has been plenty of preparation going on there's lots still to do. TICKETS We’ve bought all our park tickets now. I priced numerous options from many suppliers (including Disney) and the 14 day tickets for the price of 7 offered the best value...

Yuk! I had that happen somewhere recently too but I can't remember where! Brought it to the attention of the server and they replaced it explaining that it meant the machine had run out of hot-chocolate powder.......

Welcome to the forum!

Welcome to the forum. Our last trip was about then too. We're heading back in August. Looks like there's plenty that's new to see!

Can I join you? Sounds like a good Italian family day out. (I’ll bring the homemade arancini & gelato, and produce packets of sausages and fillet steak from my handbag like my Nonna used to......

They could certainly do a lot with the theme. I could see it being really fun.

Sounds like a great trip. Looking forward to reading all about it!

We have the standard mickey wine stoppers. Use them all the time and they bring back great memories. I'd love to see a pic of the haunted mansion one. I'll have to look out for it!

Gosh, I certainly didn't envisage this being quite such a controversial subject..... :D Oh my! I wasn't planning on rolling out the picnic blanket in front of the castle, but along with the wicker picnic hamper, the champagne flutes, fine china, scones and cucumber sandwiches, we could turn...

it’s not a question of being able to afford to eat in the park. It’s a question of what we choose to eat when. I’ll be setting a budget of about $3,000 for eating out for the whole trip. We prefer to spend that on more leisurely TS meals in the evening. We don’t have big appetites and the CS...

Really enjoyed your trip report - the good and the bad. Thanks for sharing it.

Thanks everyone, I think we'll let everyone carry their own rain jacket and one bottle of water through security. We'll bring concentrated flavour to counteract the taste of the Florida water (if it's an issue) and fill the bottles in the park. That way we only need bring a basic lunch/snacks in...

Thanks - that’s helpful. We have tended to pack day-bags for all eventualities in the past, taking turns to carry a couple of rucksacks. Light-weight rain jacket, first-aid kit, sunglasses, sun-cream, spare contact lenses, cameras, spare batteries/fuel cells, water (one in hand, one frozen for...
