SuzyM's Reviews
Hotel Reviews: 1
Up to about a week ago we only had the deposit down for Disney sorted - moved from Aug 2020 to Aug 2021, but as things have looked up recently, I thought I had better book a few more things just in case it does go ahead, so recently I have booked:
-flights, the direct ones from Manchester with Aer Lingus.
- Car hire - with Virgin Holidays
- travel insurance with covid cover
- Offsite accommodation to cover our first week (non-Disney).

So I am going to stop there until things look a bit more certain. I still have the following to do:

- Airport parking
- Airport hotel (if needed)
- Any extras like lounges or tours etc
- Disney meals to book (can't do until June)
- Planning our daily plans like order to do rides etc - I haven't researched that much since FPs are not available

Like most I feel we are definitely not going one minute and then it looks good, then I am not sure again.

Here's hoping!

Suzy

8th for us and tentatively planning - all hotels and car hire now booked.

We haven't told the kids (13 and 11) so hopefully it's going to be a massive lovely exciting surprise when we can tell them WE'RE OFF TO FLORIDA!

3rd August here. Flights booked and paid for, booked some hotels. Need to book car hire and 2 more hotels, Universal tickets, car parking, airport hotel. Will book car hire and final hotels this week(fully refundable), the rest will wait until much closer to the date. Cautiously optimistic, fingers crossed constantly!

All booked for July (old booking that has been moved too many times)

All refundable/movable but confident we'll be going.
Mask not an issue for us.
Always stay off site as Disney is not the main draw for us. So fast passes the only real change.

19/08 for us. Booked the lounge and taxi transfer last weekend. Been buying dollars on Revolut card for a while. Balances for tickets to be paid late June so will book days at SW,BG & AQ then. I believe we don’t need to book days for Universal, let me know if i’m wrong.
Villa balance to pay beginning August so hopefully know by then🤞
Only ETSA to do when we get our daughters passport back.
