I have put it to the back of my mind... after realising how expensive divorces are

I don't think I have much chance of mine being awake late enough until at least week 3. If I'm wrong at least I can adapt the plans.

Just a minor update as I have tried to stay away so that I don't add things this time!

After seeing a few blogs where it has looked pretty good I have booked an ADR at Nine Dragons for an Epcot evening. I'm not sure if we will stick with it or not but wouldn't mind giving it a try. If Space 220 becomes available it could get swapped for that if available.

I had a quiet moment at work today and ended up booking BBB for Emma and the Knights package there for Benjamin. Emma mentioned BBB last night and still remembers it so I couldn't help myself. Benjamin was not old enough to do the Knights package there last time. I know it gets mixed reviews but we will give it a go.

In other news I finally got round to checking my travel insurance through work as I didn't think Chloe would be covered now that she is over 18. It turns out that she is covered up to 21 so at least I have saved a few quid there

Awww BBB and the knights package will be amazing. The picture of Emma is adorable. Good news about the travel insurance, always good to save a few pennies. In fact you've just reminded me I need to phone my insurance and add on my pre-existing conditions x

I have the knight package booked for my little boy aswell, not sure I'll bother with the full on costume but I've seen a knight T-shirt you can buy there that looks quite cool so may go for that. Still cheaper than the package my 2 girls are getting with no costume so I'll let him build a dino at T Rex aswell
I love that you're thinking of the next trip already, looks like there's some fab new stuff on the way for that year though. Our plan is probably to go back in about 5 years, looking forward to the new Nintendo land opening at Universal!

I think BBB will be worth it for the lovely memories. It obviously made a big impact last time.

Nine dragons is yummy! Try and keep it if you can we had a great meal there in September after doing our 5 park challenge and the food and service was brilliant! Doesn’t seem to get enough credit that restaurant.

I have so many lovely pictures of Emma from her last visit to BBB so it will be nice to get some pictures of her and Benjamin together. It's always the minor things like insurance that I forget

I haven't actually decided which packages to get them yet. I think I will see how I'm feeling at the time I am forgetting all about the mad moment I was having the other day... maybe 2022... who knows

I think so too. I remember thinking last time that it was actually good value. I was surprised how much Emma told me about it the other night bearing in mind she wasn't even 4... and people say they are too young to remember. She has already said she wants a Cinderella dress this time

I remember reading lots of pretty poor reviews about it when I was planning about 2 years ago but I have seen nothing but positive things about it recently. I think I will keep it unless we decide to go for Space 220 (depending on the menu and if we can get an ADR). If we have to ditch it I know there is a really good Chinese takeaway within walking distance of the Dibb villa we have which we really liked last time.

BBB is fantastic...mine were a lot older when they did it so only managed 1 visit..the knight package is well worth it to the kids just for the sword and shield...MY DS didn't want the sparkles in his hair but enjoyed the experience and middle DD decided to cost us twice over by become a 'knight princess' (she wanted a sword and shield lol)
