We knew this trip would be a challenge with 3 separate family groups who all had different ideas and plans�..and boy was it!

The first week wasn�t too bad � although as expected the buses were not practical for the whole group (we don�t ever take them) and not having a second car was a mistake. Rob and I had considered renting another one but had been told not to bother�we should have ignored them!

Meals were another issue � despite only booking restaurants which the whole group had agreed upon there were several moans about the food. Sometimes, there wasn�t enough food, others there was too much and most meals the children didn�t eat very much of even when it was burgers or nuggets

The second week was much more challenging, it didn�t help having a massive disagreement on arrival at the villa which made everything a bit awkward for the rest of the trip. We could have done with 3 cars at this point!

There were some high points though � Leona really enjoyed her princess makeover, not sure about Charlie and the pirate experience though! And Blake had a great day at Universal.

Finally, I think everyone enjoyed our last night at Bay Lake Tower and Rob�s mum got to ride Splash Mountain more times than I thought possible!

So, remember if you plan a big family trip � get multiple cars and stay in separate accommodation
