This will be our 8th Visit but Beckys 1st. We have been holidaying in Florida since 1995. This was with my daughters and husband who had been diagnosed with terminal cancer so we wanted to take the girls on a holiday of a lifetime never thinking we would go back. Two years later went back with my brother and his family and we stayed in a Villa. Next 3 times i visited with the girls and took my sister as didnt want to travel on my own with 2 children. It wasnt i was afraid to go alone it was on the off chance one of us one be ill so didnt want us all confined to a hotel bedroom. Did need my sister a few times when i suffered migraines so worked out well. Plus im not a coaster fan so my sister went on with my eldest and as my youngest got older went on with both. 2006 was our last time there and we took my friends daughter (the sister of the girl going with us this time around) who had never been and as her parents dont like flying would never of had the chance for a while. This was also our 1st time staying in a Disney hotel. Becky is going this time with us. What can i saw about her well she is excitable, loud and can be accident prone. We have all said we are not sitting next to her on ridea or we will come off deaf. I am really looking forward to seeing her excitement at the characters though as she will be the biggest kid there although we still like the interaction with the characters it is a bit of we have done it before but with Becky she hasnt. So we are in the planning mode at the moment.

We are staying a week at Animal kingdom lodge then was moving onto Rodeway Inn(i know quite a big come down but was more for cheapness) but we managed to get the cheap week at Hard Rock Hotel through Netflights so thats going to be great as originally we were just going to do the 1 night for folp. My youngest turns 16 when we are there so she is excited about the Disney giftcard to spend. I have also just booked Discovery Cove. My eldest daughter is paying for herself to do the trainer for a day while we are there and i rang and asked if she would be able to do one of her swims with us and after checking i was told she could and they would make a note of it im just hoping this is correct as i want a family in the water with the dolphin. There will be surprises along the way but as my daughter could read this i cant say too much lol. Im just getting so excited now as when we booked it was over 400 days to go. We are only going August as my eldest is at uni and youngest takes her GCSE'S this year so it was a case of trying to fit it in. Did think of only going on a european holiday but then eldest daughter wouldnt have wanted to go so Florida ensures she does lol.

Hope i have not bored you too much if anybody is still reading now. Il update as and when i book things.
