To be fair I just took them all from the Disney website ... but we have got 19 nights (well 18 nights after our night at Hard Rock) so hopefully we'll get to try at least all of them Xx

** update **

Update 3

We've toyed with the idea of booking a night at Clearwater. I wanted to watch the sunset and have a total chill out day not having to worry about parking and also driving back the same day.

Being a family of 5 we struggled with finding accommodation that wasn't a fortune ... we were looking upwards of £350 for one night and I just can't justify that ... even Hard Rock Club level with 5 express passes over 2 days is cheaper than that ... so we've settled on ...

Residence Inn by Marriott



We've got a 1 bedroomed apartment, which includes a small kitchen, for £220 which also includes breakfast ... total bargain if you ask me. It has a view over Clearwater Bay so not the Gulf side that I wanted. But for the price I'm happy to compromise on that and we'll head to Pier 60 to view the sunset instead

It has a pool so we can go between the pool and beach. Closer to the time I will also book the Sea Screamer.



We're still debating on which restaurants to eat at. We've confirmed



as we know the kids will love this one. I think we're still debating on Chef Arts and maybe another one. I'm going to sign up to Landry's again so we can get the free birthday reward and $25 join up reward and we'll split the bill 2 ways again to get $50 off

That looks so lovely! What a lovely thing to do I know very little about beach stays but it’s definitely something I’d love to do at some point. Looking forward to hearing all about it!

Clearwater sounds amazing! We went there for an evening after Busch Gardens once - was gorgeous. Keep meaning to add a beach break on to our Disney stays (AMI or Clearwater) but still haven't managed to! Will look forward to hearing about your stay next year

We really wanted to do it last time, but with only doing 9 days we struggled to fit it in, so it was a must this time. Really hope it lives up to what we're expecting! X

Oh how fab! We dropped the V-Room to save money. We weren't given a choice of flight times otherwise I would have requested the 9.50am flight as I much prefer to be up and away as I think most people do tbf. Hope you have a great trip though! X

Oh did you. I've heard it's amazing. I think Mr Grump read something about it being the number one beach in the USA. I'll let you know how it pans out, but I'm hoping it'll be nice and relaxing, thank you Xx

Catching up.

Howling at the length of your QS wish list, I can see you’ve not really put much thought into it yet.

T-Rex is a solid choice. I think they get a little overlooked at the food is just ‘normal’ but sometimes that’s exactly what you want.

I’d also avoid the character meals OOP, have you seen the 1900 Park Fare dinner cost? It is scary!

Your Club room is an absolute steal and it will save you a fortune on drinks, snacks and breakfast, the kids are going to love it and will be asking to go back for years haha.

Oh how lovely. You must say hello if you see us ... even if I looked stressed with Mr Grump and the kid's

How's your planning coming along? How long are you staying for?

Oh I'm so glad you've enjoyed following along Let's hope this trip is much more chilled and relaxed x

yeah I think I literally checked on the WDW website and wrote everything down haha. I do need to refine it ... but then again we are going to have 19 days remember so I'd love to get as many done as possible.

To be honest TREX is more for the experience with the kids ... I think we're swaying more towards Chef Arts for our other OOP meal. I just can't justify the character meals OOP!

We'll be having an offsite meal when we go to Universal ... I think this may end up being Olive Garden or Longhorns ... we haven't decided yet.

After reading a few more reports I think we're hankering towards Bread Box at Universal too ... it seems all I talk about is food can you tell I'm back on SW

It's fab isn't it ... still over the moon at the bargain. I'm thinking we may do a morning at IOA then afternoon at pool to make use of the snacks and drinks at club level too, then back to IOA on the evening for the Hogwarts Night Show and a few more rides ... let's hope I can stomach them this time

Can't believe your only 3 weeks away now Colette! So excited for you! Xx

I will keep my eyes peeled for you guys! And don't worry I have my own Mr Grump too, although mine has never been to Florida, and despite me telling him that things are expensive I feel like he is going to be a 'Mr HOW MUCH?' Rather like that trip when you told Thomas he had to pay tax on top

In total we are doing 22 nights, 11 at universals endless summer and 11 at CRS with DDP and I feel very under planned seeing your plans! We are just focusing on getting it all paid off at the moment!

I have a few plans and ideas but need to sit down and work out where to spend all our dining credits, especially with only 2 months until ADR day!

I will most likely do my Pre Trip either next month or November so lets hope I have a plan by then!
