Your story about the man falling on his child as he ran for the bus at AK is crazy, he must have been going at quite a speed. We've seen a bus waiting at the bus stop and done a bit of a jog to get there, but at the end of the night when the fireworks have finished it's jam packed so it's not possible. Plus we're always pretty worn out at the end of the day and there's no way I want to start running.

I think I preferred being in charge of our fate with the queuing up for characters and at least we had the option of getting in line even if it did look like a really long wait.

There was quite a bit to explore in the castle, both upstairs and downstairs. This is definitely worth a look around

I honestly can't remember the cost of the cocktails, I don't think they were cheap, but I don't feel like they were extortionate either

Don't feel too sorry for Kate having to order off the kids menu, she's not too hard done by. It was because she still counted as a child as she was 11 when we went and turned 12 the week after we got back, which is adult at DLP. Anyway, her child credit was not worth much money compared to my adult credit. I'm sure I could have let her order from the adult menu it just would have cost me more.

It's been fun having you read along to our mother daughter trip after you inspired me to book it! I'm hopeful it won't be our last It was great fun. I'd wondered if we would bicker or get on each others nerves as it was only us and we didn't have the other 2 to distract us or talk to. It seemed that just being in each others company was good though.

I'm really looking forward to POFQ this summer. I hope we enjoy the resort, it looked so beautiful in your report and I'm excited to see it. Not too long until we are off on that trip. A little over 3 months!

See more...

The guy running who fell was running coming out of AK after the RoL show so not even just the short distance to the bus but the whole park. The paths there are so dark and he tripped over a kerb and went flying. It was horrible, but sad to say inevitable.

I would love to do another trip, not necessarily Disney, with just Georgia in the future. We get along really well and our trip just had a different feel to it than a family trip (although of course we do love those 😃 )

POFQ was wonderful and we would stay there as first choice resort for any future visits. Although as we like to upgrade the dining plan, with DH with us next time, I think AKL may work out better value. But we loved the size of POFQ and how easy it was to get around it.
