50th birthday trip...help!
There was a terrible and irreversible mistake on my birth certificate, and turns out I am 50 at the end of this year. (I feel much older!).
Looking for ideas - especially when to go...for a couple... Ideas so far: With have VA air miles - so looking to use those, any destination. We enjoyed a Caribbean cruise with RC last year, so that's on my list - 4 longer nts incorporating Coco Cay. 2-3 days at a beach - I can't do more! I have a very cheap rate offer for Rosen Inn Pointe on I.Drive, some happy to spend a few days there for parks / shopping. After Hours at MK - we have never done parks without kids, and my wife thinks I won't do any rides with her (correct - any coasters) so this might be a good way to see - and MK has lots of rides I will do - and just a fab place to be. Plan B would be to have an onsite Disney stay with DDP - is there a time when that's cheaper than others? Or is there a completely different plan C we could do...Dubai? Alaska cruise? Using our airmiles... We could go anytime between mid-Feb to October 2021. Budget - I think for 2, up to £3k is doable...

No advice just to say there's the exact same mistake on my birth certificate, which is odd as I'm sure I'm only due to turn 28 at the end of the year, not 50.
DH & I went at the beginning of December last year and we had an amazing time, it was a whole new experience for us as we've not been during the Christmas celebrations before and really added another dimension to our trip, we'll definitely go that time of year again. We also felt that we had all the positives of experiencing Christmas there, without any of the drawbacks of the crowds you get later in the month. We have a special anniversary next month, my 50th & DS's 18th this year. It amused me how us Disney/holiday people like to mark these occasions with holidays, I wish I was happy with a trip to the local Harvester as many are! Enjoy your planning.

Early Dec a good shout, we might be able to squeeze that in...not done Disney Xmas.
I too though I was 28, then I made the mistake of looking in the mirror. Didn't end well for anyone. Especially the mirror...

I’ve got the same trouble. According to my birth certificate I’m 64. Someone must have transposed my date of birth because I’m 46. 🙄
Anyway, an Alaskan cruise and a long weekend in Iceland are at the top of my To Do list. |

Someone appears to have removed all the mirrors in my house and replaced them with moving pictures (like the ones in Hogwarts) of my mum, it's quite unnerving.

@stupet1 Onsite at Disney at Christmas is lovely - if you can stretch to a deluxe then go for that with DDP - it’s so good being able to relax about what you choose and we love having some great restaurants in the same hotel. If you are looking at a moderate then POFQ is gorgeous any time of year but especially so at Christmas.

I am going to be 50 in four days ... not sure how it has come round so quickly!
Right now, just DH and myself!, are at the Hampton by Hilton ... ready to catch the morning flight to Orlando! We are hiring a lovely Dibb villa for the week. Have booked passes for three days. The Food and Art Festival is the plan for Sunday ... Monday is my birthday! Breakfast at Crystal Palace followed by the Fireworks Dessert Party. We are excited to be spending our first week away, without the boys, for 23 years!
