The 40th Birthday trip, 3 years early-Highs, lows, ways to go!

So this is it, final, final trip.

Well so the boss said when we booked it, right up until about day 12, when she turned to me and said, 'do you think you can save up for another trip?'

You all had faith when I didn't, I really thought she meant it this time, and I think she did, until we got there!

I am saving people, really flipping hard, I will go without food if I can just go to WDW one more time!

Onto our highs and lows in no particular order;

Highs:

Too many to mention but a selection-

Meeting Chip and Dale in their Dinosaur costumes
Dancing with Dale
California Grill Brunch
Animal Kingdom Lodge, the whole experience, I never thought we would stay here and now we need to go back (I think this was the clincher in the boss changing her mind!)
Flower and Garden
Jiko
Grand Floridian Cafe

Lows:

Splash Mountain
Sanaa
Artist Point (the food not the characters)
Mosquito bites
Birthday grumpiness
Frozen Dessert Party (just didn't live up to expectations)
Tusker House

I'm not sure if we will go for my 40th now or the year before, it depends on my saving and the patience of us both!

If you've followed right from the beginning, you may know I was on Slimming World before we went and lost just over 4 stone. My suitcase gained 22lbs, I gained 21lbs! I ate a lot of cake though and I am really strict ordinarily! I was shamed at group when the machine gave out a warning

Never mind, back on it now!

Thank you all for reading along and commenting

Yeh so glad you will be having another trip! I wish I had managed to lose some weight before our trip in August - I realise I still have a few weeks to go but not holding out much hope 😂 good luck with the saving!

Great trip report! Thanks so much for sharing! How exciting you are looking at going back again! I’m sure you’ll get those 21lbs off easily now you’re home and every pound was worth it for the tasty food 😁

Really enjoyed your report. Especially as I go to Florida with my daughter/daughters most years so its interesting to compare experiences.
Bet you go back next year. 😉
