Yes the two experiences can't get much more different! All our family plus sister in law and her hubby and 2 daughters next time, just the two of us this time. Looking forward to both and feeling very lucky to have 2 countdowns on the go.
Had a chat with sis in law on Thursday and gave them a list of things to save for. I think they had a minor heart attack 😳 but her youngest girl is only 4 at the moment and madly into Frozen so was super excited about everything! Really looking forward to sharing the experience with family and getting them hooked on a very expensive addiction 😄 Sara

We are taking our (will be) 4 year old for first time too next year - if she us anything like me I sense lots of ganging up on DH to 'persuade' him to keep going back!

Well I thought I would update today with a few of the shopping items we have bought so far for the holiday. I don't think there is much left to get, I am trying to resist and pack light so I can buy lots when there
First up, some pretty wedges from Kurt Geiger in Newcastle for £45 Boring but necessary pool shoes. Curse you Mike Ashley for being cheap and cheerful, I don't want to give him any of my hard earned money and no I don't want a strong shopping bag to go with these... Next shorts in size 10 (woo hooo thank you Weight Watchers) from Metro Centre £25. Gap shorts from Dalton Park, I think these were £20. A couple of vest tops, the grey one from Gap at Dalton Park for £5 and the black one from Oasis in Newcastle for £10. Camisoles with adjustable straps from Matalan and H&M, both £3. Primark at the Metro Centre, Harry Potter t shirt £6. Bikini from M&S at the Metro Centre, don't remember how much this was. And we also bought some stuff for DH! A new baseball cap from Debenhams at the Metro Centre. And a park bag from Superdry in Metro Centre, £20. He did get more than this, I just haven't bothered taking pics and you don't get to see pics of new undies! So the suitcases came down from the loft this morning. I think we will be seriously under the luggage allowance, but that leaves plenty of SHOPPING ALLOWANCE Thanks for reading! Sara

I love your plans, especially a night at the Bohemian hotel, we very nearly booked there for our trip this year. We just got too good of a deal in the Yacht Club to turn down but I would love to stay in Celebration!
I think it's such a romantic idea, renewing your wedding vows! It's our 10th wedding anniversary in 2017 as well and was something I was hoping to do. Your trip will soon be here! X

Yes the countdown is looking very nice now! Celebration is lovely, isn't it? Plan on doing a trip report so will include info on the vow renewal when we discuss it with the wedding planner at the Bohemian.
Thanks! It is so nice when people comment Sara

So our ADRs are done. Our FP+ are done.
What else is there to sort? Hair appointment tomorrow. Wanting an effortlessly tousled look like this: And to avoid frizz! Spray tan Wednesday. Hopefully I won’t smell like a biscuit….and the end result should look more like this: And not like this:
