Yep I think when you have booked your flights and hotel it is more real I did well with my flights as I got them for £2850 the next day they went up £700! Glad I diddnt wait lol

Its hard to wish time away isnt it... but I suppose the more fun you have the quicker the countdown will go..so we will have to go out and have lots of fun now

Hi there! Great pre-trippy. Looks like you're getting everything sorted and the major hurdles are now out of the way. Having booked ours as a package, having no ADRs to book, and already having a fairly good idea of what parks we're doing (Disney, US/IOA, and SW/AQ) there's not really much to plan for us. Which I prefer. We now just have to wait another 7 months...

The Hawthorn Suites near Int'l Drive was good when we went last year. Hopefully, the one in LBV will be equally as good (if not better!).

Hiya

There isnt much left for me to plan now... so I'm bored lol lets hope the next 7 months go quickly

I am looking forward to staying at the hawthorn suites it looks fab and is in a good location.

Well I paid it all off yesterday except for my seaworld tickets/Clearwater trip/ ksc and today I have hired a car for the first week.

I have also booked my transfers with Florida magical tours and booked a seaworld tour for Ella, Dillon & I which includes all day dining, quick queue and plenty of animal interactions while Lee and Ethan are dining with an astronaught at KSC.

Ethan and 1 are also doing the beluga interaction at seaworld. Ethan's birthday present and I used some of my birthday money to pay for mine... I was 40 a couple of weeks ago and was lucky enough to have £400 in presents that I have changed to $


If I can save up I might book the Serengeti safari for us all as a surprise but it all depends how much is in my savings jar lol if not we will feed the birds at Busch anyway.

77 days to go

Hi Sarah

Things coming along nicely for you. We are pretty much organised as well now flights bit of a nightmare were flying with Delta/Air France but they cancelled our flight from the Thursday to the Friday which would not have been a huge problem apart from we could not get the villa a day later as someone is booked to come in the day we leave. So we had to cancel those flights and get a full refund and now flying with BA which are better times but did cost us £150 extra. All tickets organised went for MGW tickets, Universal and KSC and have managed to pay for them all with the money we saved in our £2/£1 coins so well chuffed with that. Have a few ADRs booked as well and hopefully we will get Wishes Dessert Party booked soon little treat for our 20th wedding anniversary and DH who will be 50 the day before we leave.

See more...

Omg it sounds like you've had a nightmare! I have to say I have heard of a few flights deta have changed I would of been pulling my hair out lol

Your price for ba isnt too bad though, we went with ba last time to Tampa though but we thought they were great. You have done well with your coins! Mine paid for seaworld/Busch KSC and our trip to Clearwater. It's got to be saved for ds uniform next

We enjoyed the dessert party and it's nice for a treat and it looks like you will have lots to celebrate good luck with the rest of your planning.
