Hello,
After reading so many trip reports to help with planning my trip, I thought I really ought to give back.
I had been to Walt Disney World once, aged 11 many many years ago. The BF has never been (not even to Disneyland Paris). He seemed to think I was taking him for a fortnight at Thorpe Park or similar. He also took no part in research or planning as - "wouldn't it be better if I know nothing and have no expectations, then I can be overwhelmed and love it and want to go back?!"
I couldn't argue with that logic - but it does come back to bite him on the bum a couple of times, hehehe.
This isn't the trip we dreamed about or the trip we planned, due to Hurricane Irma (cue Muttley style muttering). You can read all about it in the
pre-trippie.
As our first trip and a bit of a scrambled one at that we make a few rookie errors that will have some Dibb old hands shaking their mouse ears in exasperation, but hopefully you'll enjoy reading along
