As i've always enjoyed reading everybodys trip reports i decided to have a go at one of my own. Our family consists of Me(34) DH(37) DD(13) DD(6). This was our third family trip to WDW. Ok here goes........
Friday 15th August
Arrived at Dublin Airport at 6.30am, checked in & went to get some breakfast. Whilst waiting to pay for our food i accidentally knocked my cup of coffee all over myself, whoops. Caught our first flight to JFK and about halfway through it i remembered that i had brought a spare set of clothes for each of us in our hand luggage. Couldn't believe i had spent hours stinking of coffee when i had spare clothes, oh well. Landed at JFk, spent a couple of hours there then caught our flight ot Orlando. Unfortunately about halfway through this flight DD(6) got sick but once i had got her cleaned up and changed into her spare clothes she was fine. So we landed at Orlando and went to reclaim our baggage. We waited & waited watching everybody else collect their cases until eventually we had to face up to the fact that ours weren't there. Went off to the American Airlines desk and reported them missing. The very nice man working there assured us that they would have them by the next day and deliver them to our hotel. We headed out and caught a taxi to our hotel The Doubletree Castle on International Drive. When we arrived there we were feeling very tired & i suppose not very happy as our missing cases made it feel like not a great start to our trip. Even the chocolate chip doubletree cookies they give you when you check in couldnt cheer us up much.

. Started off in Adventureland. Did Tikki Room, Jungle Cruise,Magic Carpets & of course Pirates, a favourite of our family. Then we headed to The Haunted Mansion which we all loved. Over to Frontierland, DH & DD(13) did Big Thunder. We passed on Splash Mountain as the waiting time was very long. Finished up in Fantasyland with Its a small world, peter pan & Snow White.
