3 Part Extravaganza Oct/Nov 2017
Thought I better do a quick pre trip seeing as we go in 3 days
Apologies for the boring title, will change it once we've been & have a holiday theme Quick introductions, we are DH, Robbie, 39, Florida obsessed Me, Aoife, 35, also Florida obsessed DS1, Fionn, 10, rollercoaster obsessed DS2, Odhrán, 7, food obsessed This is us last year at MVMCP We had the best time last year, it was our best Florida holiday to date so we knew we would return this year. We had stayed in RPR for 3 nights and absolutely loved it. Had never stayed at a Universal hotel before and we just felt it changed the whole universal experience and we preferred it to Disney With that in mind and also having had 2 week Disney tickets for the last 3 years we decided that we wouldn't do Disney this year and would spend the extra on a longer Universal stay. So on New Years Eve we booked a week at RPR club level We also had 1 night on AMI last year that we loved so booked 3 nights there this year and then another week in our villa (it's not actually our villa at all but another dibbers, it will be our 4th year in a row staying there though so feels like home, thanks disneynana ) Next up was flights. We have gone direct mainly on all our trips besides once going through the UK which we wouldn't do again (just makes the journey longer for us). We decided to try a stopover in the US this time and Robbie found a great bargain with United flying into Newark with a 3 hr stop before Orlando and through Washington on the way home. I hate the flight, get so uncomfortable after about 5 hrs so I think the 2 shorter flights will suit me better but we will see We badly need this holiday at this stage. It's been a very busy year for us. Lots of work pressures and we have been doing home improvements since the summer. Started with the garden then last month had a new kitchen fitted, floors downstairs changed and only last week a new en suite. Robbie has done lots of the prep work in the evenings and at weekends and himself and my Dad laid the floors themselves so it really has been hectic. We cannot wait to just relax and switch off from it all. 3 days to go, so excited The kids are off school today and were yesterday too because of storm Ophelia, it's added to the holiday excitement They will only end up in school for 2 days this week as we go on Friday! We have been very lucky here with no storm damage at all. No Disney... I don't mind, will miss an evening walk down Main Street to see the fireworks but that's all I feel I'll really miss so not worth the price of tickets just for that. We have done MNSSHP on Halloween night the last 2 years, we are undecided what we will do on Halloween in Florida this year. Nearly forgot to add that we also have tickets for Busch Gardens and Seaworld. We haven't visited either of these parks in 9 years so looking forward to returning. So that's the pre trip, will be back when we are home to start the report. We definitely aren't going next year so will be living off this trips memories for a while
