    Day 5 continued- Anniversary Dinner This evening was our 8th wedding anniversary and, despite only booking this trip with less than a month to go, Steve had managed to get a reservation at a place I had never been before but have always desperately wanted to go to. Especially during COVID...

    Day 5- Epcot and Anniversary Dinner Already, we had reached our last full day 😭 The trip went so quickly but we had packed so much in! The plan for today was to head to Epcot, and then we had a special dinner planned for our 8th wedding anniversary. We got up at 7am to attempt a boarding group...

    We stood and looked at it for quite a long time 😂 I couldn't quite comprehend it! We were not tempted to try it!

    Day 4 continued I still think the Hogwarts Express is really well done- it feels really real with the screens and effects! We headed into Hogsmeade and realised how busy the park was. We decided we come back to Forbidden Journey later in the day as we really wanted to get to Velocicoaster! But...

    Day 4- Universal Studios This was our only day to venture out of the "Disney bubble" and I was really looking forward to it, I love Universal. Being a 33 year old Brit I obviously love Harry Potter so was really excited to get back to the two parks for that, and experience Velocicoaster too. We...

    Sorry for the slight pause on these, real life update... We added a new member to our family on Saturday! Meet Ruby 🥰 My parents always had dogs when I was growing up, but we've never had a dog ourselves, so we're on a very steep learning curve (and very little sleep!) but we couldn't be...

    Thank you! We were very happy to be back- me in particular, my husband was just being a very good sport 😅 A surprise 24 hours in London sounds fun but maybe slightly stressful! We were so lucky on our trip- we had 11 flights in total and not one of them was delayed or cancelled. Our luggage...

    Day 3 continued Now I hadn't really planned to go on the Skyliner during this trip. I wasn't sure how I felt about the Skyliner- I thought I'd be quite nervous and also, I was worried about the heat! However once we got on it- I was instantly converted. It made travelling to Epcot SO easy and I...

    Day 3- Hollywood Studios and Epcot Now this was a day I was really excited for- Hollywood Studios has always been my favourite park, but I'm not particularly sure why 😂 I just really like the atmosphere in this park, I always think if I was a local Hollywood Studios would be where I'd just hang...

    Day 2 continued... We decided at this point to park hop over to Animal Kingdom. In the spirit of the whole “only having 5 days” thing, we had decided we would just do the things we really wanted to do- and I was desperate for Steve to experience Avatar as he never had. I had only been on it...

    Thanks everyone for reading so far! Onwards. Day 2- Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom and Disney Springs Jet lag was here! We both woke up before 6am, and lazed for a bit but we really were awake.

    Trip Report 5 day Orlando Speedrun!

    Day 1 continued! We had a lie down, popped the TV on and then made a plan- first night, as always, we had to go straight to Magic Kingdom. So, by 6pm, we were on our way to the park! We headed to the bus stop but there wasn’t a bus for about 30 minutes- and I was itching to get there. So, and...
