Thank you for doing another trip report. I always thoroughly enjoy reading them and love your style of writing. You always give a lot of useful information in them too which is great. Once again, thank you

It's the detail that held this blasted trippy up for so long! Lovely to hear that I've offered up the odd useful tip though and have a wonderful holiday when you go in February!

Thank you for reading!

I've picked up so many tips and ideas from reading about your experiences, so you have indirectly contributed to what I hope will be a memorable trip for my family in September. Thank you so much for sharing your trip with us...
That's lovely to hear, thank you! We certainly did have an absolutely wonderful time in Florida and I hope you and your family have an amazing trip when you go in September!

Oh gosh it's so hard when a totally wonderful holiday comes to an end. I'm afraid I am just like you and can break down in tears on the last day, trying so hard to hide it behind sunglasses. I think it's because for us it is such a happy place that we get to spend time together and I just love it . I have really enjoyed reading your trip report and eagerly wait the next one and we might see you there

Oh Kate, you are such a great writer. I had a lump in my throat all the way through this last post I always feel the same way on our last day, and have been known to shed a tear or two

I loved the girl's balloon release idea ... I bet their wish is about to come true... well in August anyway

Thanks for such a fabulous trippy. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading along, and what a lovely keepsake for the girls, who will (one day!) I am sure appreciate how much thought and effort their mum put in to every magical moment.

Looking forward to your new pre-trippy, and to hopefully meeting you in August oooh won't say too much due to potential pre-trippy spoilers

Hi Kate

I've absolutely loved reading this trip report, its the tiny details that you describe that transport me back so effortlessly to the place that we all love. And having recently stayed at Windsor Hills your photos of the drive back to the villa are just so familiar.

Great photos of your last day and you had a wonderful flight home in PE you lucky things.

Couldn't agree more about the special memories that you create at Disney. For me on our last trip it was the laughter that we all shared away from the stresses of every day life that I will always treasure.

Don't every give up on the writing. I'll be looking forward to all the details of the August trip.

Lisa xx

Loved reading your trip report. That last day is so hard when you leave and see the sign 'see you real soon' I get a lump in my throat too!

Awh Kate, I have loved reading your trip reports, they are absolutely fab. Have you ever thought about a career as a writer? You include so much detail and emotion that you completely sum up how a Florida holiday feels.
My daughters were similar ages to yours last time we went to Florida and now they are 11 and 15 and they are growing up so quickly. I agree with you, that life is too short and a you have to grab every opportunity you can, and taking your girls while they are young and having all those special memories is priceless.
One last thing, can I just say how lucky your girls are to have a lovely mum like you to arrange all those great surprises and journals etc.
I will miss reading your trip reports, but have another fab holiday in August and thanks again.
Victoria xxxx

Lovely emotional day , as usual Kate, you are not alone in the blub dept on the last day

You are also not alone in the pictures of the routes to and from villas etc, my DH always says" why do you do that" and then laughs when years later it has helped us remember where we stayed on which holiday, so lucky to have been so often and still feel the same on the last day.

Too true re the memories with our DS, every penny saved and hour laboured for it for these trips has been worth while in memories and his love of all things Disney has been inherited, yay... The time we have to spend just together in our busy lives is so precious, as it obviously is for your family too.

Great to have a detailed view on PE, we hope to finally use our virgin miles for this next year.

looking forward to the highs and lows, not many of those I think, and the pre trippie. Xxx
Sandie
