"These things are fun, and fun is good!" NYC and Florida family pre trippie

A few people have asked me if I am going to write a trip report, so here goes!, I am a bit nervous about committing to doing so as on our last holiday I wrote an ion depth pre trippie, took extensive notes on the trip with the intention of doing so, however, on our return I was confronted with the news that my dad had an aggressive form of cancer, hence it never got written. Fast forward to today, dad is doing really well, after difficult treatment he was given the all clear, for now so I will try and actually finish a trip report this time!

So who are we? We are a family of 4


Me (38) chief planner and organiser


DH (soon to be 39) goes with the flow


DD1 celebrates her 10th birthday in NYC


DD2 (7) our basketball fan


This will be our first visit to NYC as a family, I visited 20 years ago, on my way home from Camp America, I think it has changed a lot since then and seems to have cleaned up! It is our third family visit to Orlando, once offsite, once onsite and as you will see this trip contains no Disney!

We have learnt that Florida is vast so try to have a specific element to each trip, last trip was all about Disney, this trip is more about having fun and a less pressured pace, that I find all the ADR's that come with DDP bring.

We are planning 3 nights in New York then 12 nights in Orlando, here are the basic details:- (more details later)
21st May - overnight stay Feltham travel lodge - bargain £29
22nd May - 9.15 am flight LHR to JFK - stay in New Yorker for 3 nights - £440
25th May - 5pm Jet Blue flight NWK -MCO - £220 for all of us - stay Fantasy World resort for 12 nights £606
6 June - 18.15 flight home to the UK

As with all my trips there are lots of details planned and I will update you in due course, please join me on our adventure!
