So now I have got most of my planning done I am having a pre-trip lull! So what better to occupy my time than writing a PTR! 71 days to go!
The story so far, I have been to Disney 3 times before but unfortunately my list trip was 14 years ago, which in my opinion WAYYYYY too long ago but until my lottery numbers come up money is tight and I was very lucky to be able to have been 3 times already!
So my mum says to me 2 years ago, ‘I would love to go to Disney for my 60th birthday’ and my instant reply ‘well let’s do it, we have 2 years to save’ at this point is was still more of a dream than a reality (now signing ‘it’s a great big beautiful tomorrow’ in my head)! But in January I (as I regularly do) was checking the Disney website looking at prices, and wow not only 14 day park hopper tickets included but a QS dining plan too, that when the dream became reality and the deposit was paid!
So the details, there will be 3 of us, Mum (Jean) celebrating 60 years young, Me (Steph AKA Gurt) celebrating 27years somewhere on my way to middle age and my Boyfriend (Chris) celebrating his 1st ever trip. We are flying on the 13th September staying for 2 weeks in Old Key West Resort and then we won’t talk about what happens on the 27th September I can’t cope with the thought of having to come home.
have about 90% of our trip planned, but there is always room for suggestion and improvement, this is the 1st time I have been planner, we used to travel with my auntie, uncle and cousin, they have been close to 40 times so uncle T always did the planning. We don’t have any ADR’s as we don’t want to be time held for anything other than parades and fireworks, we as everyone else want to fit in as much as possible but we know we won’t be able to do everything and we can live with that, me and mum really don’t like roller coasters so that will cut a bit of line time down as even though I am sure Chris will want to ride them I couldn’t think of things much worse than the ToT or MS so he can ride by himself! To be honest BTMR is about my limit to ‘big’ rides!
The next 71 days need to come real quick as I don’t think my tear ducts can cope with me welling up every time I think about Main street or giving Mickey a hug I have been hanging on to for many years, if fact that poses a question, are adults (that will be as excited as an 8 year old) allowed to give characters big hugs or is that just weird?
Now to the plan, as I say always room for suggestions and improvement so feel free to comment! It may be another 14years before I get back again so I want to make the most!
