101 days to go (dalmatian day!) so I figured I would give a few quick updates!

We paid off our whole balance today, so we are officially definitely going to Disney World! I always feel like something important and shiny and special should happen when we pay it off but nope, just an email from Virgin.

Speaking of Virgin, we had a very brief panic when we logged on to pay off our balance and our tickets weren't showing in the itinerary part of the website. It was asking us if we wanted to add the tickets, which was a very frightening prospect of paying an extra £700 on top of what we'd already paid - so we called Virgin's assistance line, and the lady was very helpful! She told us that she thinks they probably dropped off when we upgraded our hotel and she added them back on for us - panic over! They were still showing on MDE, but we're both very big worriers so hearing and seeing that we actually did still have those tickets was a worry lifted off our shoulders.

We've also booked a MNSSHP! We'll be doing the 10th September party; we both wear Japanese street fashion (Lolita, to be exact; if you don't know what it looks like, it's very much a slightly modernised version of what you might imagine an antique doll wearing, with a lot of Victorian and Rococo influences!), and we're planning on wearing outfits in that style inspired by Minnie and Figaro for the party!

We're also planning on booking After Hours tickets now they've announced some for September when they're released; we're thinking we'll do the September 5th night, because we don't have park tickets for that day and we don't really have anything planned for it (we figured we would spend most of it by the pool or maybe hit up some shopping). So there's another almost three hundred dollars to say farewell to!

And finally in this update: we reserved Haz's mobility scooter! We went with Best Price Mobility and got the standard scooter with a cupholder for 14 days (we're hoping she'll be fine without it on the days we're not doing parks!). For anyone interested, that cost us $270 - but it will be priceless when it comes to making sure she gets around the parks and Disney Springs and everywhere else unaided! Last time we found the walks to and from the bus stops particularly difficult.

We'll be in single digits soon and that's honestly too exciting to put into words!
