Great trip report, really enjoyed reading it. I think any age is the perfect age to take kids, no such thing as too young!

I'm just chuffed to bits that I've managed to talk Sally into another trip. I thought a boring new kitchen was going to beat me

A villa stay is definitely the right choice for us... although I'm not ruling out a couple of little hotel stays whilst we are there

I would like to think I will do another trip report but I its a villa stay with few ADR's/extras I'm not sure it will be a very interesting read. I may still do one though as it will be fantastic for us to compare the kids as they get older and share with them years down the line.

we loved it. I definately think that the discovery cove non swim is still worth it esp if you can get it at a good price which you normally can if you add it on to your seaworld/Busch tickets. Would also recommend Wild florida we have done this and added on the Sloath encounter and the second time Lemur encounter.

I think rebooking Debra's villa was on the cards pretty much from our arrival there.
I may have a look into Wild Florida and maybe Legoland too as I will NOT be adding universal this time. I'm still trying to convince myself of that as I gave in for this trip!

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it. If I do another one the kids will be a little older and I may be better at actually making some notes!

I really do hope I have a bit more will power in limiting the additions this time. There are bound to be one or too but hopefully that's all!
