'Once in a lifetime' trip - WDW onsite & DDP Feb 2019 INDEX - COMPLETE
Hi Everyone & welcome to my trip report index.
So introductions first: There is me, Jacqui, chief planner, my husband Darren & our 2 grandchildren, Scarla (7, turning 8 while there) & Alex (6, turning 7 while there). So a little bit about us: We were a normal couple having done the parenting thing with my son having flown the nest some time ago; that was until 7 years ago when we got a call from social services asking us to have our grandchildren for a couple of days due to issues with their parents being able to cope... they never went back & we are now their special guardians. As you can imagine, this has affected the kids quite a bit, (as well as our relationship!) however we are starting to come out the other side, although with a few scars, (Scarla has sensory and attachment issues & both kids have challenging behaviour) Anyway, moving on, about 3 years ago we booked a holiday to Lanzorote for 10 days which cost us a little under £5000 & while we were planning that i got chatting to a friend who had just been to WDW & it wasn't that much more so i thought i'd look into it & started saving... & here we are 2 weeks onsite at CBR with DDP, just doing Disney, (gives me an excuse to come back) flying with Virgin PE ! While planning i stumbled upon the Dibb, which has been brilliant for a complete newbie like me who has never been further than Spain before Well, thats enough about us for now, trip index is below. Any questions, please let me know: Day 1 - Travel day Day 2 - Magic Kingdom, Festival of Fantasy parade & CBR pool Day 3 - Hollywood Studios, Hollywood & Vine & Fantasmic Day 4 - Alex's birthday, Animal Kingdom, Disney Springs & Dinosaurs Day 5 - Epcot & the lost boy Day 6 - Magic Kingdom & BOG (Lunch) Day 7 - Discovery Cove Day 8 - Epcot (Part 2) Day 9 - Blizzard Beach & Ferrytale Fireworks Dessert Party Day 10 - Scarla's Bibbidi Bobbidi Birthday Day 11 -Animal Kingdom, Expedition Everest & disappointment Day 12 - Disney springs & an evening at Magic Kingdom Day 13 - Hollywood Studios Day 14 - Epcot Day 15 - Magic Kingdom, home & lessons learnt
