With a bit of re-jigging I’ve managed to get a FP for Frozen Ever After. It wasn’t available at my 60 day window.

I’ve also booked Akershus for a very late lunch (3.15). This works well for us, as we’ve got SW dessert party booked for that night.

If I let my dirt magnet daughter wear the clothes now she will trash them.
I’m a bit sad I love packing.
Still can’t get FOP or slinky dog.
Decided to scrap Busch gardens on our plan. Think it’s too far to go? Possibly not enough for small ones. What do you all think?

We are going this year for the first time to Busch (never made it the last two years) Daughter is 7 she will love all the animals and shows and a few of the rides, we are going to try it!

It's our 4th Orlando holiday this year and we've never been to Busch and it's not on the plan for us to go this summer either one day we'll get there.

1st world problem I know, but my FP day is Friday, I have taken the day off and the wife had agreed for the cleaner to come around at 12pm.

I am going to be very tense and I never like being in the house when the cleaner is doing her thing... if it is nice I might have to sit in the garden...

I did mine last Friday at work. Put it in as a meeting in my diary the disappeared to a quiet part of the building for a FP frenzy. It was ok. I had left 3 unplanned days at the end of our stay to try and get FOP and SDD. Then worked back from there. That worked out ok.

Hello there and welcome to the Dibb and us AugustEars . How old's your son? I bet you will notice some big changes that have occurred from the last time you visited.

I’m trying to decide whether to stay at the airport the night before.

I’m taking me niece for so more holiday clothes shopping on Saturday. I need a few more tops.

I know what you mean about the cases, I’m the same😂

Are you sorted?

If you have the option I'd definately stay the night before as it's such a lovely relaxing way to start your holiday ( plus it's another day away )
I've been buying my girls holiday clothes for the past 2yrs so I need stop buying - I think they have enough for a 6mth holiday let alone 3wks! I just got a few toiletries to buy but then I'm done. I'd like some $'s in cash but holding out for as long as I can in hope of a better rate - we have the Clarity card so may just use that to get a better rate whilst we're there.

Personally I wouldn't take the little ones either, we've not been and I've heard the animal parts are lovely but maybe not enough for younger children. Keep trying for the Fastpasses - I ended up booking ones for later in the day when there was availability then went in and modified them to the time I wanted. wasn't able to move FOP much but Slinky had loads of options. Good luck.

Definitely not to early to start packing. I plonk all of our new stuff straight in cases. The only downside is every so often I have to repack to do a check of what we've got or what we need. Secretly I love keeping going through everything x

[halloweenbaby2]

Ok everyone now that our holiday's are getting closer and for most all the planning, booking and paying is also done - what are you planning to buy whilst you are out there?

We aren't ones for designer labels but I do want some new black sketchers and lots of stuff from Bath & Body Works then most of the other stuff is from Walmart - I know I wanted loads but I can't remember what was on my wish list so I'm hoping your wants / needs will remind me
