Hey everyone,
So I'm more of a quiet lurker on these boards but I LOVE reading everyone's trip reports and I just hit 100 days til Disney on my countdown so thought I'd celebrate with a pre-trip report of my own!
Okay a bit of background info then,
This is me... Laura. I am British, from Nottingham, England to be precise.
and my mum and Ashley, my brother, will be on holiday with me too.
This will be our 8th trip to Disney World, our last visit was Dec 2012/Jan 2013 which was awesome and I got to cross 'Visit WDW during the holiday season' off my Disney Bucket List! Exciting stuff!
I work in a school so unfortunately I'm limited to school holidays at Easter, July/August, October and Christmas, & we've done Easter lots, Christmas last time and Summer was too hot (I'm a ridiculously pale English rose, me & heat don't do well!) so October it was to be! As amazing as Christmas was I'm kinda looking forward to it being a bit quieter this time.
This will be our 2nd time staying on property & again we will be at POFQ from October 17th-31st. We really liked POFQ last time so stuck with it for this trip too. Staying at a deluxe resort is another thing on my Bucket List so maybe next time!
Because we only get to come every few years or so I am going to make the most of this 2 week visit and I have millions of ideas swimming around in my head...I want to do Halloween themed cupcake crawls, visit resorts, do rides I've never managed to do (Shockingly I've never done Toy Story Mid-way Mania!!) and other bits & bobs. I will share my plans as I make them
Lastly for now we also have the DDP, but only QS as it came as part of our holiday. So I dont have any dining reservations (other than an intention to devour the whole Beaches and Cream shop!) However I might still book 1 or 2 sit-down meals. I am a veggie tho, so if anyone has any good restaurant recommendations please share them with me! Thanks

wow didn't realise you don't get what we call half term holidays, not sure I'd cope without the breaks!! We finally just broke up for the summer so plenty of time for me to plan now yay!
Looks like a good trip plan too - we've got one set but always allow time for last minute changes. We only have a car for just over half the time - and use DME for transport to & from hotel. Glad to see that you first day in MK - that's our tradition, and this year it will be MNSSHP on our first day! First visit for 4 years and cannot wait. Countdown well underway and meeting for all 7 of us that are traveling together coming up soon to deal with plans of how to get to Airport & back in UK.
