Universal wil be all new to us (except the et ride I rode this when I went with my parents when I was 10!). This is our 4th trip but first time venturing to the other end of I drive 😊

This is our 10th Anniversary trip and we have lots of new to us things!
- Clearwater, staying there for 3 nights, we've never visited the coast!
- 3 WDW hotels we've never stayed in.
- Tiana's Bayou Adventure and the Moana walk through at Epcot are new for us.
- Restaurants new to us are Frontera Cocina, Boma (breakfast and dinner), Spice Road Table fireworks package, Cityworks.

We always seem to find new to us things to do.

Ooh, hadn't heard of the Moana walkthrough, will give that a look, ta 👍

We will be going to Anna Maria for the first time this year. Also not done Universal for a few years so Hagrids and Velocicoaster will be new for us. Also first time doing a MNSSHP it was an easy way to visit MK. First time at Aventura as we have DVC we normally stay at Disney. So we have a few firsts. I am still trying to shoehorn a trip to Buccaneers stadium. Lots of firsts this time round.
We have done Vero Beach in the past and would recommend that to anyone .

We always have our "go-to" places and things to do, but do like something brand new each visit.
Tron will be the only new ride I think. For restaurants, 'Ohana's, Story Book Dining, City Works Eatery and Pour House, Shiki Sai in Japan/EPCOT, and Boma will all be firsts.
Still get my favourite haunt, Jock Lindsey's, and off-world Oga's 🍻
Eastern Caribbean will be new, but the Fantasy familiar.
And I suppose the Biggie, the reason we extended into the first couple of days of September, Halloween Horror Nights...

We have been going since 2001 and never been to Celebration so are planning a mooch there, also Storybook dining and Shikki-Sai although at the moment only have a reservation for 4 not 5 but hope to change that if I can. We’re also debating an airboat trip but the jury’s out atm.
Pretty excited to do Crystal Palace again, we didn’t go to USA last year and there was no characters in 2022. Pooh is going to get a humongous hug!

I have the worst memory, but this is one time it benefits me! We've been a few times, but the gaps were long 2006, then 2022 were my most recent! I think there's some stuff we didn't do in 2022. And for me riding the likes of ROR will be like riding for the first time. I dont remember it at all. Just the storm troopers from the photos I have.

We plan on trying a variety of quick service places. I plan on trying a lobster roll for the first time.

We hardly did anything at volcano bay last time, so need to spend more time there and get on that water coaster.

Tron will be the only new ride. Hulk will be like my first time again as it was 2006 I last went on that. Both kids are big enough this time. I don't remember it at all...just remember coming off and my husband felt ill, so I left him sipping lemonade while I went on again! So it must have been a decent ride!

I dont really need air tags do I? Or the Samsung equivalent? Just reading that post about it.

Anything precious goes in hand luggage. Maybe if I travelled a lot, but seems expensive for one holiday every couple of years.

I only have one for my son’s wheelchair but don’t have any for the luggage. Like you said, anything important goes in the hand luggage.
ETA I might get some this time since we have that internal flight but does seem a lot of money!
