Hi Ho, Hi Ho, 5th trip to Orlando - Pre-Trip Report - May 2014

[Yorkie Girl]

We're also flying out on 8th May
You sound very organised and have got some good bargains with the hotel and flights

Great start looking forward to this one as we were flying out the same day but then changed to go a day earlier which worked out £100 cheaper so cant turn down an extra day there
Hopefully great weather and low queue's.

Great price on the flights!

I know - I've got to admit, the countdown is falling nicely.

We've just booked Lowfield Farm for the second time for next year, great B&B at a great price

Looking forward to reading more

Fab - it's a great B&B isn't it. Shame they no longer pick you up from the airport, but that's not worth worrying about when it's so cheap & comfy.

So, a little update now we're about to hit our 80 day mark.

Changed my mind about Photopass after all & booked the pass in advance & set up a small share - I know I said I wouldn't, but it's going to be our last Florida visit for a while, so I decided that it would be a shame to not get some fab photos to help the memories.

We've also booked Quicksilver cars for our transfers. We were going to get a taxi when we arrived at MCO and get our friendly shuttle driver to take us back to the airport, but then we realised that he doesn't work Sundays so it would be a case of booking a taxi back. Don't know about you, but I do like to have things lined up in advance, so I've booked Quicksilver again instead (used them before & they were fab) at $140 including tip return journey.

We've got paper MYW tickets, so will need to work out how to access Pastpass+ nearer the time, when they open them up to non-Disney residents.

We're still reconsidering booking Kennedy too - again, since we're not returning for a while, we're feeling that a visit should be part of this trip. We're not planning any extra tours or anything, since there's been a few changes since our last visit & we really want to see Atlantis up close, after seeing her take off in 2010.

The countdown does appear to be running down nicely - we are starting to get close now. Our toiletries drawer is full to the brim in readiness & we've both got most of our holiday clothes set up, so there's very little else to worry about now.

Hope everyone's planning is still going well,
Happy Holidays,
Hayley.

Hi

Just come across your great pre-trippie and realised that we are staying at the same hotel ! We fly out on 2nd May but have not stayed here before so it's been great to read your reviews

The countdown seems to be moving along now - we have sorted esta's recently so just need to sort new suitcases now and then can start packing ! Lol.

I'm really excited now - might see you out there in the sun !

Excellent - it's truly a great hotel - I'm sure you'll love it.

Just under the 50 day mark now - can't believe it's coming round so quickly !

Just wanted to send you a quick note to say you were right - we loved the Hampton Inn would definitely stay here again !

Hope you had a wonderful holiday
