Thank you all for following! We did have a great time, of course there's always highs and lows but we made some amazing memories.

Day 1- 4th May 2019- Travel, V-Room, Port Orleans Riverside


A quick note on the previous day!

So on our pre travel day we drove down to Gatwick around 5pm and stopped off at Cobham services for a cheeky Nandos, which I won't bore you with a picture of as you all know what Nandos looks like! We live in Milton Keynes and it was supposed to take 2hrs to drive down but due to traffic took 3. We stayed at the A23 Airport Way Premier Inn- usually we stay at the North terminal one but this worked out around £25 cheaper. You can walk between them in about 5 minutes so it's not a big deal. It was fine, you know what a Premier Inn is like! You can't go wrong. We parked in the Summer Special Gatwick parking which is just down the road.

The next morning we checked out around 9am, our flight was at 1pm and we wanted to get to the airport nice and early to make use of the V-Room! Plus we hadn't booked breakfast at the Premier so we were hungry. We got to the V-Room bang on 10am which is the earliest we could get there lol. We booked it as part of our Virgin package and despite my best attempts couldn't get it for free, we paid £22 each which we felt was well worth it.

Here's some pictures of the V-Room offerings













The Star Wars cupcakes were because it was May the 4th.

There was also hot drinks, a coke freestyle machine, a pancake machine, juices etc and you could pay extra to upgrade to included alcholic drinks. We didn't do that as we don't really drink much, especially at 10am lol.

Will continue tomorrow!
