4th January 2012 Sorry, there’s not a lot of pictures for today. As Matthew had had a bad night and we didn’t want to wake him, Molly and I went to the Animal Kingdom on our own. The boys would catch us up when they were ready. We rushed over to Expedition Everest, only to find that it...

Tuesday 3rd January 2012 Today is jam-packed with things to do, so we were up nice and early and off to the Magic Kingdom. (on a side note, Gary was surprised that at home it takes me ages to get up in the mornings, but at WDW I was the first up every day and usually ready before the other got...

Monday 2nd January 2012 This morning we set off early to the Animal Kingdom to have breakfast at the Tusker House with Donald & friends. We enjoyed the food and the characters were fun too. Daisy loved Molly's t-shirt: When we were done, we rode the safari. Matthew loved how bumpy...

:wave: I'm glad you're enjoying it, I was so worried that people wouldn't find it interesting!! We took the children out of school for just over a week as it was the only time of year that my husband could get off work. We managed to get a great deal on the OKW portion of the holiday...

Sunday 1st January 2012 continued… As we left the park, we phoned the hotel to get our room number and caught the bus back. We had a one bedroom villa and it was massive! It is definitely more like a home than a hotel room. We arranged for our bags to be brought up...

Sunday 1st January 2012 continued… The Great Movie Ride was our first stop, and we came out just as the parade was about to start and got lucky with a decent spot to watch. Matthew especially like the Disney Junior show, where Molly & Matthew met Handy Manny & Jake the Pirate...

Sunday 1st January 2012 I'm sorry for the delay in posting - the sun came out for the weekend (which doesn't happen too often!!!), but now I'm back at work, so I can spend all of my time on here!!!! It’s moving day, so after breakfast Gary took the kids to take photos around the resort...

Saturday 31st December 2011 continued… We explored the Contemporary, and had a cold drink break overlooking the marina. Once again, it was a lovely warm day and it was nice to take things slow (for now!). (sorry, this is the only picture in this post!) When we were done, we took the...

:wave:Hello from this side of the pond:wave: Although it was fun, we've decided that our next trip will be at a quieter time of year. I think Christmas & New Years has to be done at least once, but we are more suited to lower crowds. Happy reading!

Saturday 31st December 2011 This morning we were off to our favourite resort, Wilderness Lodge. We have never stayed here, but it is our dream to do so. On previous trips, we have not had time to have to a good look around, so or love is based on pictures in holiday brochures and coach...

Friday 30th December 2011 - Continued… We used our fastpasses for the Jungle Cruise. The back-side of water….. Next, we headed for Splash Mountain to get more fastpasses, along the way we stopped for pictures with Pirate Goofy. We then took a very crowded raft to Tom Sawyer Island...

Friday 30th December 2011 We all slept well, although Molly and I woke up for a chat at 3am! At 6am we were all up and super excited for our first day. I knew the kids were dying to meet Mickey and would not relax until they did. Therefore, we took a taxi from Pop Century to the Contemporary...

Thank you, I', glad you're enjoying it, I was worried that no-one would read it!!! I'm already trying to plan the surprise for our next trip in 3 years!!! The problem is that they know roughly when we are planning to go,but I enjoy a challenge!!!! Thank you very much. I have started the...

Our journey actually started on Wednesday 28th December, when we took a taxi from our home in Southampton to London Gatwick airport. We stayed overnight at the Hilton hotel attached to the airport. The Virgin Atlantic twilight check-in enabled us to get rid of our baggage without the queues...

After reading so many wonderful and interesting trip reports on here, I have been inspired to write my first ever trip report (although I do not promise it to be wonderful or interesting!). Background Information: I had been planning this trip for nearly 6 years, from the day I returned from...

I was there at the same time and my husband ran the marathon too. It was great to see things from a runner's perspective. Thank you for sharing your experiences. :wave:
