LIVE:Portofino bay, Four Seasons, DCL and Vero Beach

[Minnie Mum]

Hi All,
I started but failed to complete my food report last year😣
We are 2 days into our holiday now and i figure i might get on better posting as we go along.

So, the holiday is my husband and i and our 2 youngest children. Our Son who is 10 and our daughter who is 4. Our eldest has just finished university and went to Japan instead ( who can blame him)

This is our 3rd summer in Orlando with the kids but first without staying at Disney World.

We are spending 7 nights at Portofino Bay

2 nights at the Four Seasons

3 nights Disney Cruise

4 nights Vero Beach.

The holiday didnt start that way. As with many dibbers, i am constantly looking at hotel/ flight/ car hire prices.
We were meant to be spending 10 nights at RPR club but stubled on a travel republics price of £70 per night at Portofino so booked a week.

I then found four season for less that £300 so booked 2 nights.

I booked flight through thomas cook 18 months ago and got a great price so when we arrived at the airport and they were offering reduced upgrade we went for it ( also negotiated 4 seats for price of 3 which helped)

We had stayed at the Premier inn on Manor Royal the night before which was good but decided to have breakfast at the airport. We eat at Wonder Tree. The kids both had pancake, hubby had a Japanese bowl and i had Shakshouka.

The Journey and food were good. We had taken lots of snacks/ drinks but except for kids eating jelly sweets the left was left.

A huge bonus of premium was getting off first and we literally walk straight through immigration! Never known anything like it😊

We then predictable waited for bag!

We jumped into a cab, which was $60 dollors( with tip) to Portofino Bay.

Our room is lovely and huge! We request to be near the family pool and boat and got a 3rd floor room at the Villa.
