Trip Report Something happened on the way to Florida

Howdy one and Y'all
I know it's early for a pre-trip but what the heck i have been counting this down since last year.
This time we have decided to forgo our normal May time slot and venture over the pond in October.
The who ?
Me and Mrs Ferret (Matt and Donna)

Why October ?
Well we wanted to meet up with some friends of ours that are there at that time and we have always wanted to go at halloween time but work has always been an issue.
Well this Christmas i surprised Mrs Ferret with the paperwork on christmas day having already okayed the time off with her boss and sorted out the holiday.
Where ?
We are going back to Port Orleans Riverside as we liked the resort last time and the boat to Downtown Disney Springs is an absolute godsend to us.
Here is the rough breakdown of our planned trip so far,
October 15th . Depart our rock for Gatwick
October 16th . Depart Gatwick for the sunshine state, Get hire car,Check in and proceed to Downtown.

OK so this trip report is going to go a little sideways and be part report and part impressions of Disney. This is mostly due to someone not taking notes past the time we arrived in Florida and just enjoying the holiday.



So to the off.



Sunday 15th October

We left our little island Gatwick bound.We boarded our flight through Door-E (a good luck sign perhaps),

It was a quiet flight and we soon touched down. The inflight magazine had an advert for trips to Pandora ! We checked into a dayroom at the Yotel .

and left the bags there whilst we went to find out where we were going to check in later as Virgin had moved terminals since we booked the holiday.

After a short monorail ride,

we found ourselves in the North terminal and discovered what we needed very easily.

We hopped back on the monorail to the south terminal and went and had lunch at Girraffe (a Texan bbq brisket burger each with fries and a Pepsi)

. Then a coffee at Cafe Nero

.With that taken care of we collected our suitcases and headed over to our hotel for the night, The Bloc.

We checked in and scoped out the room before heading (with bags) back to the north terminal to check in for tomorrows flight. Once that was done we headed back to our room to relax.
