Grown Up, Schmown Up - Lottie & Ed's 3 weeks of unadulterated (geddit?) fun

[lottie89]

Welcome to the index for our 22-night adventure to Florida from 27th April - 19th May 2013.

Quick run down for those who don't fancy reading the rambling pre-trippy:

> Me, Lottie, 23 (chief planner) and DBF Ed, 25
> I've been twice, in 1998 and 1999, Ed's been once, in 1999. First trip together, first trip as 'grown ups', and first trip in 14 years. Excited isn't even the word.
> Virgin Atlantic flights from Gatwick
> 1 night at Art of Animation in a Little Mermaid room
> 2 nights at Holiday Inn - The Castle Resort on I-Drive
> 2 nights at the Hard Rock Hotel
> 3 nights Bahamas cruise on the Disney Dream with balcony stateroom (free upgrade from an inside stateroom after a VH complaint!)
> 14 nights at Wilderness Lodge with free DDP

Something for everyone here I hope - enjoy!

Just seen your first days video report, awesome job!

Can't wait to see what you thought of the Wilderness Lodge. That's our favourite resort by a long way

Great first day

Just made our way through the pre-trip and Day 1 (and Day 1 video). Looking forward to more!

If you ever do stay at POR, they also do build your own pasta.

Looking forward to seeing WL. Our budget wouldn't stretch to it but we did have a wonderful meal at Artist Point. When we entered the lobby, it felt like home. One day...
