Golly you're taking me back to our honeymoon in 1986 and first trip with the boys in 1996. Our Thomsons welcome meeting was in Splendid China. Yes I agree parks were so quiet, longest queue was 30 minutes, no queues for the characters, we just walked right up to them. River country was perfect. Our hotel was the Howard Johnson Fountain Park ( now the Red Lion) Happy days.

As we sat in traffic yesterday I remember going home in 1992 and telling everyone how wonderful the roads were and how you didn't get stuck in traffic jams! Oh the irony!

Its come ! Its come ! Its come !
Oh Kat, I absolutely adore it, hubs loves it too, only one gripe I am a bit Nelly Knockers in it... however I have lost nearly a stone and a half now, so if I keep on with my diet hopefully I will go down a few Bra sizes. Its gorgeous, a real statement piece, even the bow which I thought I might tie at the back looks great in the front, at the back and at the side. Really really pleased, can not wait to wear it now. They are lovely dresses. Now...…. the dress I saw at the Airport... how much was that dress again...…. September at the Airport... perhaps perhaps perhaps...…

Its not that flared as I thought it was, that's why I think the bow works in the front, but I prefer it at the side, looks a bit like those retro dresses but not too flouncy. I was convinced it would have to go back.
We were a little disappointed with the Chinese Restaurant this time, I know it has changed hands but it was pretty average for us. They no longer do the Jungle curry and it came to around £80 and it really wasn't worth it. I adore the Sofitel though, the Cocktails were gorgeous especially the Lychee one. We always have the same room and we love the hotel, however, in September we are giving the Bloc a chance with parking, not sure where we will eat this time. Might go back to Thyme at the Premier North. x

We had a really good deal,we got Maple meet and greet parking, room and evening meal for £289. When we checked in we got our meal "invitation" and saw we could upgrade it so we went fully prepared to do that, however the "holiday special" menu was so good we had it. In addition to jerk beef I had vanilla bean creme brulee and Dave had pot of chocolate. I wished I had taken photos as they were beautifully presented but I'm not in habit of doing it so didnt think.
Still spent £43 on two wines, 2beers, a tea and a coffee though. Edited to add champagne and glasses came with us! Edited at 03:24 PM. Reason: Addition |

By the way I asked about dress because I really wanted the reversible Joe Brown dresses for my holiday (how practical is that?) but the fit and flare didn't start to flare high enough for me.

OMG, I don't know how you managed it, I still had my stomach bug so could only manage the starter combo and the main. That's a great deal, we always seem to pay through the nose. But I do adore our room, my favourite.
