Thank you! I know, we thought it was time we grew up and became proper adults with a home
Aw bless you, start off saving a little bit then gradually increase it. It is hard work getting a deposit together for a house, and it took us a long time, but there are some options for help out there. When you are ready, you will make it happen and not mind saving for a house, that's what happened to us x

I am nearly finished with my next post for the wedding details, however I just wanted to post a little something as it was our ADR day this past Tuesday!

We have been planning our ADR’s for a few months now, getting together with my Mum, Lisa, Ryan and Bethany at weekends to decide where we’re all going to eat, and if we were all eating at the same places. We love talking about and planning the holiday!

We all enjoyed looking at all the menus and deciding whether to go back to places we have eaten before and love, or try new places or a bit of both! We finally nailed everything down, and came up with a list of all the places we wanted to make ADR’s for and who would be going to each one.
Lisa then kindly put the list into priority order, and who would be making the ADR for each restaurant.

Roll on, ADR day, Tuesday 14th April! Of course we all had the day booked off work for such an important task, that’s myself, Lisa, Ryan, Bethany and my Mum.



We all sat at the dining table at my Mum’s, with various laptops, iPads and phones at our disposable all ready for 11am!

11am came and none of us could book anything! :angry: We were constantly refreshing and trying to book anything, but nothing would work. There was a thread on here saying other people were having trouble making reservations, but that didn’t make us feel any better as we just wanted to get ADR’s made! We had noticed the DVC member website said it was down for the day so we thought it might be linked.

At 11.50am, Ryan shouted up “I think it’s working!” And sure enough his login was, then Bethany’s started working, and then my Mum’s did … mine and Lisa’s didn’t start working. The priority order for each person went straight out the window, and Lisa more than myself had to shout out to the other 3 what to book when. For some reason mine and Lisa's logins didn't work at all and we didn't help in making any of the reservations.

I was just so fed up with it all! Honestly, I’m probably over exaggerating but it was sooooo stressful! We had 24 reservations to make in total!

At 12 myself and Lisa phoned up to try and help get some reservations made (and book some other things that need booking), we were told “Our systems are currently going through a magical enhancement please phone back at 5!” We had been waiting so long for ADR day, we were not prepared for this at all as we just wanted to get everything booked!

I was like this …





I think I just couldn’t believe that out of all the days they could have a system upgrade, it had to be our first ADR day!

After all of that, by 4pm we had managed to book everything we wanted, WOOHOO! PHEW! I felt like I’d been on an emotional rollercoaster lol!

Sorry I felt like I had to include what happened on ADR day as it was so eventful, and not straight forward at all!

Thanks for reading, next update coming soon! x
