Gone all Goofy

We must be Crazy! Turning 30 in Orlando!
Total spent so far £4485.16
Stop reading if that scares you, it scares me! However let me explain... They lifted the ban on travelling to America, cue me screaming down the phone at my partner that we can go to Florida for my 30th in January, happy tears started flowing. His words, not mine, 'just book it' Those 3 words every woman wants to hear. I then furiously sat at work, on the computer much to my colleagues dismay, searching skyscanner, British Airways, Virgin Atlantic and all the usual websites, all over budget BUT I'm only turning 30 once so suck it up and click those buttons. Sent lots of different options over to my partner, he really really didn't care as he was at work as well and repeating to me 'just book it'. I panicked, I didn't book anything while at work, had the credit card in hand ready and I took the flight response and closed all the tabs and turned the computer off. Get home from work for him to ask 'did you book it?' answer 'NO I DIDN'T I PANICKED, I NEED YOUR HELP'. We settled on using BA, we have booked nearly everything with them, my partner likes everything under one provider and we are happy with what we paid, we know we probably could have waited, booked separately etc but he wanted it all done there and then. So it looks like this: Flights Saturday 22nd January 2022 Heathrow to MCO. Pick up rental car from MCO, Toyota Corolla or similar it says. Drive to Doubletree by Hilton, staying there for 9 nights. Check out 31st Jan 2022 (MY 30TH BIRTHDAY) Drive over, drop the car off & check into Portafino Bay for 5 nights (this is my last universal hotel to tick out of the 3 on site!) Flight home Saturday 5th February, landing Sunday 6th February. We booked our park tickets via BA, Disney 7 day ultimate with Memory Maker and Universal 3 Park. IT'S BOOKED! I CAN'T WAIT! 4 MONTHS TO GO! Now for the list of other things that need to be done: Seaworld, Busch Gardens Tickets ESTA Book extra baggage for the return flight, we know we're gonna have 4 suitcases coming back! Hotel at Heathrow night before Parking at airport I think that's it? I will do an introduction to us and all that jazz, when I've recovered from seeing those numbers dancing around my head. Thank you for reading!
