practically perfect in every way pre trip report

Trip report

So here we go, a back ground check on us!


Just the two of us again, me Gemma, I love Orlando, it’s my happy place so chief planner, organiser, make sure everything is booked and ready.
Lee, would be happy to go somewhere new, but gets used to the idea and does look forward to it the closer we get...or is it just the time off work?
This time around we have a few hotels booked up so we are kind of on an itinerary

The Holiday!


18/08/20 Drive up the day before and drop the car off to APH parking, thankyou Tesco club card! this cost me 12pence: pig:
Catch their transfer bus to Gatwick and do twilight check in then head over to our hotel, premier inn north.
We have the V Lounge booked but will probably grab a breakfast in premier inn first.
19/08/20 flying from London Gatwick, on the virgin VS15 1pm flight to MCO. Seats are in the bubble 75A & 75B.
collect car hire,
we normally have a different car every time but 2018 was a mustang and the previous year a pick up after their intermediate cars all gone due to flights previous. Thank you for being last Thomas cook! So hubby wants that one again. Car hire is booked through Andy, Discount Florida Car Hire. £366 for 14 days.

For the first 5 days we are in the Beaumont inn and suites

We only have plans to visit Busch Gardens on the 23rd so pretty easy before then and don’t mind what we do.
24th we check out of Beaumont inn and suites and check into SeaWorld Fairfield inn for 1 night.

We are heading to Discover Cove this day and will head to SeaWorld on the 25th? Or may just head over to contemporary and chill by the pool.
25th check out of Fairfield inn and suites, then check into Disney Contemporary Resort.


This was a complimentary stay due to our 1 night in Animal Kingdom Resort not going as planned.
We are heading to MNSSHP tonight!
Never done it but thought it would be a great way of getting a Disney fix and not spending large amounts of cash on a one day ticket. We are also dressing up! Day of the dead is me and lee will wear a jack skeleton t shirt...that’s his idea of dressing up
26th off to Hollywood studios, wasn’t planned (so a 2 day park hopper would of turned out cheaper ) but DH wants to visit Galaxy Edge. We will be checking out of the Contemporary Resort and heading over to Sapphire Falls Resort for the remaining 7 nights.

our flight home on 02/09/20 VS16 is an 8pm flight and have extended the car parking to later in the afternoon as I have booked the Bloc Hotel in Gatwick due to a long drive home to the southwest.

Holiday was booked through Virgin.
Car hire Discount Florida Car Hire
Tickets booked, MMNSSHP, Universal 3 Park for the price of 2 14 day tickets, Discovery Cove swim with Dolphins, with SeaWorld, Busch Gardens and Aquatic and free car parking. All booked through Attraction tickets.com
Have also bought All Day Dining for SeaWorld and Busch Gardens.
Just have to purchase Hollywood Studio Tickets and some extra spends
