I think Thomas Cook is the only airline that flies to Sanford from the UK. B.A. flies to Tampa from Gatwick.

It's for the quick service breakfast/lunch options where you order while you queue anyway. You don't sit down and look at the menu before you order.

So you either pre order, walk up, pay, then enter, choose your seat and food is brought over to you. Or queue, tap your food order into a screen, pay, then go through and choose your seat and food is brought to you.

Not sure if this is already posted but Aldi have a good and cheap range of vegetarian frozen food, Chipotle Bean Burgers are our favourite so far!

Then I'd ordered ponchos that fit in small clip on pouches, so everyone clipped those on their shorts and I also got a small fold up rucksack, this was really lightweight and was small enough to fit in my pocket, I only took this in case we needed the ponchos and I could chuck them in rucksack once rain stopped. DH put camera and phone in his zip up pockets.

This probably sounds really silly, but for me it was so lovely not carrying everything and my back hurting because we end up taking stuff we don't really need.

The evening/afternoon bag check queue wasn't bad so I'd take my Kipling multiple as a bum bag and I could fit my nicer slightly bigger camera in this
Where can I order these titchy ponchos pls?

Question Must Do's for a first timer!

My boyfriend & I are heading over next April for 2 weeks, I've been before but it's his first time!

He's super excited (also a Disney freak!), can't wait to get started on our itinerary when it gets a bit closer but for now all we have booked is the villa.

What would you suggest as MUST do's as far as experiences & dining venues are concerned? We're going to do as many rides as poss but I'm clueless when it comes to a few nice places to eat restaurant wise in the parks & Disney Springs. Also are there any experiences you would recommend that I can realistically book? I would love to do the Wishes (or whatever it is then) dessert party but realise it's nearly impossible at the best of times let alone staying off site.

Thanks!

Thermos bottles

A good tip to keep your drinks nice and cool is to buy some of these thermos bottles that keep drinks cold for 24 hours. We left one in the car while we were at Epcot the other day and it was too hot to touch when we got back but the water inside was icy cold. They have them in Walmart for around $8 a real bargain.

Additionally attempt Here maps. No information required so superior to waze. Simply download the application and the Florida guide to your gadget and you have a free sat nav with cutting-edge maps. Utilized it for 3 weeks while over where and its spot on.
