I’m glad you enjoyed it. We had a Fantastic trip. Emma especially talks about it nearly every day. The trip report will be nice for them to look back at a few years down the line. We can’t wait for the next one but have a fairly long wait!

Brilliant, what a great trip report. It had me laughing out loud quite a few times

The kids looked like they had a ball. It’s no mean feat trying to keep everyone happy and entertained, especially when there is such a big age gap. There’s only 7 years between ours and it’s a nightmare trying to find things to do that they are both happy with

It’s really strange reading about some of the stuff you did where we pretty much had the same experience...like the Plaza Gardens viewing/dessert party. We got settled in at the fence at the back too, thought we had an ideal spot and then everyone stood up when the fireworks started! If everyone just stayed seated then they would all be able to see. The guy in front of us put his child on his flippin’ shoulders so we pretty much spent a small fortune to see the back of a child’s head with fireworks coming out of it

Great report, can’t wait till the next one...there’s just one thing though , I think we all know that Sally was the real #hero of this story

Thank you for following along. I'm glad it was a decent read.

We are really lucky that Chloe loves all the Disney stuff and seeing Emma enjoying it almost as much as Sally and I do. The universal days really were for the three of us rather than the kids and I think next time SeaWorld and Busch Gardens will be more for us but as long as the three of them are kept happy then we are too.


Oh no, the dessert party must have been really disappointing. I think I may have got myself told off by Sally for having something to say about that!

With regards to Sally being the #Hero... there is absolutely no doubt! Someone has to keep normal life going when I'm working long hours or planning the next Disney trip I keep getting tempted to start my next pre-trip report but am definitely holding off until all the main components are booked... just the flights left. I'll then try and hold off until after Christmas so it's not too early! However, Sally is much more involved in the planning than she was for this trip. I think I have created a Disney monster!

Really enjoyed reading your trip report - we’re on the countdown for our November trip so trying to absorb all tips and tricks!

We’re also marvelling at the fact that your Chloe looks just like our Chloe!

**Edit** oh dear, total photo fail but they do look alike, you’ll just have to trust me ha!

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed the read. We had absolutely no regrets with the trip. The kids loved it which made it all worth while.
My idea of a more budget trip in 2020 all went a bit wrong with the little addition of 5 nights at YC. I'm really trying to behave myself now so it doesn't get too out of hand
