Well im in a planning lull and thought I would write my 1st ever pre-trip report, so a bit about us and our story, I had several trips to Disney as child which were great but then there was a 15 year gap we travelled elsewhere, back in 2011 my mum said she would love to go to Disney for her 60th birthday, being that her 60th was 2 years away I said why not, let’s get saving so that was the start of the 2013 trip, shortly after we made the decision I met my BF, Chris I told him about the trip and that obviously we were in the early days, this was back in November 2011 so it was his decision, he didn’t do backflips but was on board from the beginning, which was good, in September 2012 me and Chris went on Chris first ever trip outside the UK and he hated the 4 hour plane journey, not because it scared him like flying does to me but because he was bored, I started to wonder how he would cope with the flight to Disney as we were flying Manchester to Atlanta and then Atlanta to Orlando, anyway long story short, he was fine and we had an absolute dream trip, crowds were minimal and the longest line we had was 20mins for TSMM, so on our last day we are walking out of MK and Chris reads the sign ‘see ya real soon’ and turns to me and says ‘when can we come back’ I smiled and thought nothing of it, back home he obviously was thinking about and asked me one day back in 2014 ‘would you miss a year of going on holiday if it meant we could go back to Disney’? and the beginning of the 2016 trip was born, we had talked about just the 2 of us going but we knew we couldn’t not ask my mum, and in reality we knew she would say yes, and she made it even more amazing by offering to pay my share as my 30th birthday present (which is a month before the trip) best mum in the world (for a million other reasons too) so here we go…
When – September 19th – 3rd October
Staying – Disney’s Old Key West, 1 Bedroom Villa
Cast – Me Gurt, my BF Chris, my mum Jean
So far the plan looks as below, it’s sort of copy of the 2013 which we did everything and more due to the low crowds, it looks like we are trying to squeeze everything in which we sort of are but it is not a rigid plan it more of the direction we will navigate if something is a stupid wait then we just move on, we are on the dining plan and this is the 1st time experiencing the Food & Wine festival.
The plan is like to have quite a few tweaks, changes to AK hours, night time entertainment at HS and at 60 days when we can make our FP picks.
So this is were I am up to...
