So happy to have a countdown again!

Pretty much as it says in the title! I’ve just made a proper countdown to our July trip for DD’s 10th birthday - setting off on 26th July, spending 27th & 28th July at Legoland (staying in the Legoland Castle Hotel) then 29th July at Warner Bros Studio Tours and finally onto the Disney Magic for three nights on 30th July.

(My countdown wording is a bit ambiguous as I don’t want the girls spotting it on my iPad! They know about Legoland and Warner Bros, but not the cruise.)

Even more lovely having such a short countdown from the start, although we’ve missed our DDD day!

I’ll be looking out for other people’s countdowns to share in the excitement! Can’t wait for the first SDD, and I really hope we all get to sail!

Nice to have something to count down to. We are still on a countdown to June cruise but no idea if it will even happen hence I haven't even bothered doing one on here

I hope you get to do your cruise. I didn’t bother with a countdown for our Easter cruise (which obviously didn’t happen) but I’m feeling more positive about this one. Just keeping everything crossed that nothing stops us from going!

Yeah really not sure June will happen (Greece cruise and now they aren't on the green list who knows) but I'm sure the Staycation ones will!

Might see you at Warner Bros on 29th as we'll be there too for my daughter's 12th birthday! We are cruising with DCL beforehand on the 23rd July, can't wait!

I've forgot how to update my count down though and signature 🤦

Hope your daughter enjoys her birthday trip. Mine will be the one in the ragged Gryffindor robes - I bought them for our trip, but her class’s project is Harry Potter this term, and the children are allowed to wear robes over their uniforms all term. Just relieved that she got sorted into Gryffindor to match her robes!

I was just going to say that I think you edit your countdown by clicking on it, but it looks like you’ve already figured it out!

Thank you, hope you have a great trip too!
Your post made me determined to figure it out

At Warner Bros tell them it is a birthday. I got a badge and I got to open the door to the Great Hall (well, me and a 5 year old boy in Griffindor robes).

Oh wow, that sounds ace! We won’t be able to do this as it’s actually DD’s birthday the week before we go, and we’re waiting to celebrate once she’s broken up for summer. Maybe we’ll get to see Lollina’s daughter opening the doors

My DD will still be wearing her birthday badge on the cruise though

My older dd had a lovely birthday week at DLP in 2018 - even though her actual birthday was the week after we got home. I’m a big believer in Disney birthdays being whenever you need them to be!
