We have prebooked the 3 and the 2 behind this time.
Personally I think the bubble is way overrated to be honest . Kids and dh like it . For me The stairs are tiny and quiet steep and not great lugging hand luggage up and down them. The box at the side fits nothing in although everyone raves about it . My handbag sat under my seat as it wouldn’t fit without emptying it first and it was full of blankets and pillows that no one wanted to start with. I don’t like the cabin at the back either. I wouldn’t put anything breakable in the hand luggge as the weight on top of it would destroy anything. It’s not quiet if someone is rattling all the way home because it’s smaller I think you notice more . And I really don’t like being closed in and it does feel like that for me. As you can tell I’m really not a fan.
We had 62 and 63 on the way out last time and I loved them so everyone agreed to have them this time both ways. I like you can stand and have a stretch as well without disturbing anyone as you can stand at the back before the loos. You watch I’ll land a recliner in front of me now

We have booked these seats at the back for our flight next week. I wanted bubble as I thought it would be better for my son but splitting the kids up was an either better option for us. I'm not looking forward to last off the plane to be honest

Don’t worry. People make out it’s a big thing but it isn’t . You will meet them all again at baggage claim

Thank you! I think you've made some really good observations actually! Especially the steep steps and being penned in. Is there no overhead storage in the bubble? I do like to be able to stretch my legs and let the monsters have a little wander too. We got a recliner in PE for absolutely hours. I wouldn't mind but he sat forward with his head on his tray table most of the flight whilst his partner scratched his back. He only put it up when told at the decent. I know people are entitled to do it but my goodness it really does cut your space down drastically even in PE my hubby couldn't get to the basket in front and his IFE was at a really weird angle. I'm thinking at least if we are two twos then we have a bit more space.

Ooh can you let me know how it is if you remember? Pics would be good if you get a moment.
Well we were in PE but as is the norm everyone pushed past us last time and we were last off PE and somewhere in middle of economy rush too. Then we have little legs to contend with so essentially we just didn't bother rushing. It took us maybe 10 mins, if that to get through - was really quick. Plus there was then a big wait at baggage claim anyway. Hopefully it'll be ok. Hope you have a wonderful holiday!

The overheads arent very deep so a cabin case wouldn’t fit in so they have to go in the cupboard at the back so make sure you have everything you need handy especially if your bag is at the bottom of the pile. Don’t leave valuables In there either , you can’t see who’s in and out of it.
As I said it’s just my view of it , others love it .

Oh really! That would not be good for us as I'm in and out of them all the time with toys snacks and nappies to deal with. Plus we have iPads a kids kindle and camcorder etc. So I want them in sight. That was a thing that bugged me in PE with the overhead lockers in the middle as I couldn't reach them! Thanks for your help, I'm going to stay downstairs!

The rows of 2 at the back are fine and you do feel like you have a bit of extra room. I do find the back of the plane a bit noisy and man are you right about the rubbish left in the middle of the plane! Shocking! We liked the fact that we could stretch our legs and walk down the length of the plane which will be good for little legs... you can’t do this in the bubble ... you’d be turning around after 20 paces!

I have just looked at the seating plan on Seatmaestro website and they have put 'beware' on Dibbers rows and the last rows of seats downstairs. Any idea why as these both seem good options to us?

We had these seats in Feb and would do so again. We were 3 adults and 3 children and it was nice to be able to swap seats without having to bother other passengers.

I didn't find it particularly busy at the back the plane, and being close to the toilet was an advantage for us.

We were probably the last ones off the flight, but with three children between 7-4 we were never going to get out of MCO in record time wherever we were sat.
