The Trip Report for the trip that hasnt yet been booked!

The Plan

I almost hear you crying out for more and who am I to deny you

So yes, obsessive planner that I am, I spent a few hours after I booked celebrating by doing a plan of action And fiddling with a few ADR's (yes I had made some but I had to cancel a few and rearrange some)

So now the plan looks like this...

Day 1, get flight from London to Sanford international, pick up car hire and check into hotel, will get dinner somewhere.

Day 2, Grand Floridian cafe breakfast. Magic kingdom morning and afternoon. Evening at EPCOT with dinner at Via Napoli. See ELO at flower power concerts, I have no idea who they are but hubby was really excited when I said they were on lol

Day 3, Hollywood studios all day

Day 4, Animal Kingdom all day with dinner at Planet Hollywood (its been years since we have been there, had a good meal at PH in Paris so going to try it again)

Day 5, EPCOT all day. Lunch at Chefs des France (a new one for us) and dinner at Coral Reef.

Day 6, Typhoon Lagoon in the morning and early afternoon. Celebration in the afternoon for an ice cream and a look round the shops. Dinner at the Dine-in Cinema DTD

Day 7, US & IOA dinner at Kobe in Lake Buena Vista

Day 8, US daytime and dinner at Sanaa

Day 9, Morning AK afternoon HS

Day 10, IOA all day

Day 11, Blizzard Beach morning and early afternoon, evening in DTD house of blues seeing Olly Murs

Day 12, EPCOT all day with Teppan Edo for lunch

Day 13, *no plans* maybe some shopping or revisit a park for a few hours Maybe go for dinner with Hayley this day? Will have to see if our plans synchronize

Day 14, Magic Kingdom with dinner at the Plaza

Day 15, Maybe an hour or 2 in MK, maybe just visit DTD. Not sure. Then catch our flight at 5:30 after dropping the hire car back

Booked the car hire today too, 220 for 14 nights, not too bad with Alamo so we choose our own car plus have free extra driver so we can both go on there

So holiday cost in total 1426. Just need some spending money for all that food now That leaves 574 for spends, that isn't going to be enough really I better get ebaying and making a little more to take or it will be Sizzlers and mcdonalds all trip (no way!) We are owed 500 from someone and 170 from someone else, so if they gie us the money back we will be great for spends

A wee update

Firstly I just gotta say, WOOHOO! Into single figures now!

Had a busy week, our best friends gave birth to their first baby! (well mum did anyway ) He's super cute but that means I needed to get a move on and finish making the baby things I've been sewing for them though its still not all finished yet. I'm making them some bunting, a couple of towel snugglers, a grow bag (like a sleeping bag) and a cot tidy. Plus I had a big wedding to do this weekend for a friend that we were also guests and it was MANIC! But all is not lost, I still found time to do a bit of shopping

Matalan had 20% off everything this weekend so got myself this skirt

And got this shirt for Sy

Plus a couple of vests for Sy so he can wear his shirts open

I got this top to go with the skirt... (from New Look)

And this top is to wear on the plane as it so lightweight, thought it would be perfect and as it was on sale (at 4 in H&M) it would have been rude not to

I also got a full length pleated skirt in coral and another black vest top with a frill round the front but no pictures of them

While I was out shopping today I was on the lookout for some new sunglasses, my last pair that I've had for 4 years are realllllllly falling apart. I was walking through house of fraser and spied these beauties...

How pretty are they? A girl was there and asking if I would like to try them on before, I could stop myself they were on my face and I was in lurve :inlove Then I realise that they are Ralph Lauren and 196, Noooooooooooooooooooooo! I could never spend so much on sunglasses

I finished shopping and spent the evening searching for them online and found that they are 165 direct from Ralph Lauren, a bit cheaper but still no way... Or so I thought, turns out my hubby is even more amazing than I already knew, he's ordered them for me! Yay never owned anything so expensive apart from my wedding dress

I also went up into the loft at my parents house to get down all of our summer clothes (yes we have that many clothes that we have to put half away each summer and winter), I've managed to pack one case already. Not used to this 20kg weight limit with Thomson, with Virgin you get 23kg 'each' (well I say each, the packing is usually 60/40 to me hehehe okay who am I kidding? 70/30 ) I'm going to pack the other case this weekend

We have now also booked a night at the Crowne Plaza at Gatwick for the night before our flight. We can check in for our flight anytime on Friday so the plan is to head to Sy's parents in the day on Friday and leave our car there, then get them to take us to check in at the airport and then they will drop us at the hotel (as it's a few mine drive away).

The hotel looks very swish, we have an executive room

There is even a pool and health suite so will pack our swim stuff

Looks good eh? Wanna know how much I paid? 7. Yup you read that right, 7! I had a free night's stay with hotels.com (for every 10 nights you book with them you get a night free to the same value). I had a free night worth 64 and the room was 71 so I just paid the difference. What a bargain?! And what a way to start our trip

This time next week we will be dropping Wilbur off with our lovely friends, I know they are going to take such good care of him but I'm going to miss him so much! He's my little friend who's already near by to give me lots of cuddles - no doubt he will be spoiled rotten and won't want to come home once we're back

Wow, that little update turned into a massive one! Hehehe

Well I don't usually pack quite so early, but with this pants English weather it's not like we need our summer stuff yet so it was easier to pack it rather than try to fit it into the wardrobes I can't quite believe he bought me those glasses well I can as he would buy me anything - it's me who won't spend that sort of money on material objects but wow, I'm so lucky!

I'm actually pretty much all packed now I took everything back out of the cases and matched up outfits, I had an idea that I hadn't matched things up properly (tops that didnt match and of the bottoms and bottoms that didnt match any of the tops lol). The only things left to pack are the things that we need in our day to day life

So exciting to get new luggage! Do you know what it's going to be like? We have a new brand of cases here (probably get similar stuff in the USA too) the cases are so light you can pick them up and wave them abve your head one handed! Think when we come to replace ours we will get some of them! More weight left to bring back goodies getting sooooo close to your wedding now! Eeeeeeek!

If you don't have any children plan to go in late April next year, there are bargains to be had every year! I've never seen Olly live, he always seems like such a nice guy, when he's not falling down the stairs or splitting his trousers round his bum hehehe he doesn't have much luck on stage does he? Lol

And thank you for thinking I looked nice on my wedding day, I literally felt like a princess. Totally fell in love at first sight with my dress hehehe

Omgomgomgomgomg I'm going to Disney TOMORROW!

Off to the airport soon to check in and then onto the hotel to check in and leave our hand luggage and off out to dinner.

OMG I AM SO EXCITED!!! Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!

Awwwwwww thank you everyone we are at the crowne plaza and its lush off to beddie byes now, up early tomorrow, eek!
