I was so happy to see your name underneath a new title! Have loved all your reports. What a long day for you all, well done for just getting on with it! Good organisation at Miami and result with your bags at MCO! Thanks again for writing up a report, you write so well and I look forward to every instalment!

Yippeeee you've started

Bit of a stress with the connection in MIA, but good that they sorted it out pretty quickly for you! And i agree - I;d rather stop twice than pay the ridiculousness of a Virgin flight!

Yacht Club looks blissful. We are hoping for a cheeky stay there or at The Beach Club next year (yes, already planning next year and we haven't even been this year yet, but that's how it works huh?)

Great read and the girls are getting so big!

Yay another trip report😀 I'm totally exhausted by the entire travel day that I may need a latte and a double decker to revive me!
I have just read the pre-trip too, not sure how in the world I have managed to miss seeing it-I obviously was actually doing something useful like getting organised for our first trip in May...that is very doubtful though!
Can't wait to hear more, hope you managed a lie in as you all definitely deserved one after that travel day.

Just an observation though - the photo of your delicious looking potato salad - it has a sticker saying "may contain bones". Since when / how does potato salad have bones
It contained an awful lot of Ingredients that I was baffled by, bones were the least of my worries!

Exactly! Up yours Branson! I can think of better things to spend £2800 on... and we did. A cruise!

I write one every year yes. I must be mad!

I think air travel is a state of mind. If you don't stress over every little thing then it's just a day sat on your backside. We are very relaved about it these days.

Wow, what a travel day! Totally worth it though for such a big saving per person.

Love your view from the balcony. Hope you all slept well considering the late night.

Easy! IHOP is about a 30 second walk away for breakfast

absolutely agree indirect way to go and we used what we saved on flights to justify discovery cove. Hope flight home was a bit easier. We were sitting in the row in front of you on the Orlando to JFK leg hopefully safe saying that as I know we didn't recline! Took me a few minutes to put name to faces when we were waiting to get off at JfK as I was confused as no Lauren and Lynn's hair was a lovely shade of blonde

Looking forward to the rest of report
