______________________________

We have been to Florida 3 times before and this is going to be our 4th. As you can see from my signature, this will be the 10 year anniversary since our first ever trip back in 2000. Because of this, we decided to see if the Villa we booked back then was available. And to our great suprise, it was ! So smiles all round for that

So this trip is for three weeks, from 1st July --> 22nd July. Im really anticipating the few days before the 1st. Namely because I have a Geography A2 Level exam on the 29th June, then my Summer Ball on the night of the 30th. And then on the 1st July, my flight leaves at (I think), 6am. So im going to be one partyed out guy by the time I get on the plane

Since our last trip in 2007, a lot seems to have changed around Orlando. Namely the vast amount of rides that have been built. Manta, Hollywood Rip, Ride, Rockit, WWOHP. So much to so and such a vast amount of time (or maybe not). As the rollercoaster nut of the family, I'm eager to try these out even if no one else is. Mickey Mouse beckons and I am looking forward to a hug from Minnie She always seems so friendly Just don't want to get on Mickey's bad side !

As well as being the rollercoaster nut, and knowledge bank of rides for the family, im am strangely the person to ask if they need to know where the loo is. I've spend my time studying the maps (sad isn't it?), the more and more days that go by. I'm also official photographer haha. Meaning that my 2gb memory card shan't suffice with the amount of photos i'll be taking

My holiday plan is on here somewhere so will add the link at some point to see what you guys think.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and please let me know your thoughts on this

(Just to explain the title as it made me laugh: We recieved a DVD about Walt Disney and Mickey at the end said "That sure is swell". To which my dad said "It'd better be for what I payed!". Just made me chuckle)

Good pre-trippie!

Quick tip... take two or three memory cards if you can, and use one for each of the three weeks... if one gets corrupted you will then at least still have the other two!

^Thats a great tip, thank you !

Just a very small update:

My family and I wanted to create t-shirts to distinguish us whilst we were out in Florida. So it was down to me to create something to stick on them.
It's a very simple design, but everyone seemed to like it so here we are:



The females have 2010 across the top between the ears to represent Minnie. Im thinking of having Jammy31 on the back of mine, in Disney font.

So what do people think?
