I love Garden Grill for breakfast, lunch or dinner! So good that the character meets are returning to normal, I hope this will be back to normal. I'm keeping my fingers crossed this place opens up for breakfast again before our trip as at the moment it's only lunch and dinner.

Plus lots of other great restaurants, Teppan Edo, Whispering Canyon and Yachtsman are all fab.

Your countdown is coming along nicely, although I bet for you it still feels like ages to wait!

I must admit its very different booking ADR's when your offsite
Its been a good few years since I've been, the service was also rushed back then. As Ryan has never stayed at the Poly i wanted to give him the full experience, I'm hoping it will have improved slightly

We were hoping for a Garden Grill breakfast but as its still not bee announced we are heading back for Dinner. I do love it here and it was a request from Ryan to return

It seems to be creeping up on us so quickly! I'm trying not to get too excited as all the testing is still stressing me out

Thank you for reading
Thank you for thinking of that for us! We arent Star wars fans in the slightest and will probably avoid the star wars area so the Cantina may be wasted on us But thank you mentioning it just in case. I cant believe how popular some of the ADR's are now!

At the weekend we completed online check in for both the cruise and The Poly.

Both were really easy to do! We are boarding group 1 on the cruise being concierge guests so hopefully we can get on pretty quickly once we’ve tested 🤞

The countdown seems to be going pretty quickly and there still feels like so much planning to be done 🙈

Trying to get all our documents printed and put away ready for when we go! Does anyone else feel super stressed the closer it gets?
I watched Encanto this weekend, I actually enjoyed it more than I thought I would! How does everyone else feel about it?

Hi everyone!
We have been back for nearly a month now and had such a fabulous time. I know there have been a lot of posts recently of how people won’t be returning but for us honestly the magic was still there! Genie + worked well for us and we enjoyed our time in the parks. I look forward to starting my trip report which should be in the next couple of weeks! I hope you’ll all follow along!

Speak soon 😀
