I'd have been really annoyed about the car fiasco, but I suppose Chick-Fil-A definitely softened the blow.

Lovely that you brought Isabella's presents with you so she could still have a 'normal' birthday.

Great travel day- other than the car hire wait which would have been frustrating!

Shame about the car delay but a good travel day nonetheless. Cabana Bay looks cool

Ah, now Budget said that to us in 2017 when we hired from them, so we deliberately went to a fuel station that we know about on Boggy Creek Road, and made sure to get receipts for filling up.

When we returned the car, I said to the woman who checked it over, "do you want our fuel receipts?" She didn't even glance at them, just said, "Nah, I don't need that".

Grrrr!

Cabana Bay is a great resort, I highly recommend it

Cant wait to read all about Isabella's birthday adventures as my youngest turns 8 when we are staying at RPR this year.

Chick-fil-a did go some way to softening the blow yes

What a nightmare with the carhire!

For the first time last year we didn't go through Avis or Alamo Brits.
The prices were stupid!
Instead we booked here:

floridadiscountcarhire/

We still went through Alamo and we still did the skip the counter.
There was no difference to anything except the price.
Saved us over £1000!

And again for this years trip. It's saved us £100's.
I highly recommend xx

Fab travel day, although I'm jealous of the Fab lolly! We got twisters, I thought they'd stopped doing Fabs?

A shame about Budget and the rules on filling up the car are very strange!

Hope Isabelle has a fab birthday xx
