We're in double digits... What's left to do?
Well we're pushing ahead with the positivity and putting plans into place. We're now into the double digits countdown and fingers crossed we can go!
Our initial itinerary was finished last night and I've booked in our park days for Seaworld and Busch Gardens. We're not doing Disney Parks this time and no need to book the Universal parks in advance. We're staying 1 night in Universal Resort so get express unlimited passes and early entry for the 2 days, so those days are organised. Volcano Bay decided so we can book our family cabana which I'll do today. We're not planning any character dining or special events, the children are all teenagers this time! There's 14 of us in the group so it's taken a while to get these initial plans in place but it's also kept everyone positive and looking forward in hope to our trip going ahead. What else could I book in? Look to do? Should we get the ESTAs done now just in case there's a boom in applications when travel announcements come through? Would you book any restaurants seeing as we're a large group? |

I would of done the estas months ago ..literally when I had just booked it ... people forget if your esta is denied and you have to go down the American embassy route it can take months and months to happen ..so if anyone gets a no your not authorised it’s going to be to late for them now ..yes definitely get your estas done asap

For the sake of $14 we just renew our ESTA as soon as they expire. You never know when those bargain flights are going to appear. 😉
Better safe than sorry imho.

I’m almost in double digits. Tomorrow I’ll be sorting our ESTAs and first & last day hotels. I can’t do it today as DD doesn’t know we’ve booked so I have to wait until she’s at college tomorrow! Then I think all that’s left is dollars and travel insurance (haven’t done that yet as everything I have booked so far is cancellable).
Oh, and swimming costumes and summer shoes for DD as 2 years of no travel means she’s grown out of everything! |

Some interesting reading in this thread
https://DIBB.in/14945473 If arranging a Florida holiday was a one day event? Breakfast do ESTAs, lunchtime book holiday, evening meal do travel insurance - always in that order Mick
