Yay fantastic pre trippie to read! Edith has grown up so much since your last trip. Can’t wait to see all the kiddies (re)introduced to the magic.

We have similar dates, I’m a bit nervous about them now though & haven’t started my own, as Charlie is due to start pre school & feel he’ll have just settled then be off, then back for a week then Christmas break so now doubting myself 🤦🏻 Can you talk me back into it so we can go and enjoy the Xmas offerings as planned 😂

Brilliant price for the flights no wonder you snapped their hand off xx

The prices are great aren't they, I think it paid off to book just before the vaccine drive took off.

We really did get some fabulous prices. The car hire alone on its own was £800 so we got 4 flights for £1k!

They really do grow up between age 2 & 3 don't they!?Crazy.

Aww, I wouldn't worry too much, kids adapt really well don't they? You never get the same chances to make the memories so go for it. Christmas Disney with the kids is just what we all need after a year of restrictions!

How exciting for you! Laura loved coming with us so much last time, extra magical taking the grandchildren I think x

Yes it will be so interesting to see the differences between Edith this trip & the last, she has grown up so much already! I'm still gutted Martha is going to be 1 by the time we first take her, I had such grand plans of taking her back in January at 3 months the same as we did with Edith .

Time flies doesn't it? I can't believe Edith will be 4 when we g where does the time go? x

Sounds great! Looking forward to reading, and following along on Instagram. We have booked a few weeks ahead of you, beginning of November. I have read all of your trip reports with Edith for tips, although our daughter will be 16 months - older than we had hoped for her first trip thanks to covid! Crossing our fingers it goes ahead for all of us x

Coming back in on this one given the recent announcement about the travel ban being lifted.

Would you believe that I cancelled my hotel, car parking and Premier Inn bookings yesterday morning and then the announcement was made at 3pm . I hadn't cancelled the flight as I couldn't get through to BA or do it online. It was fate. I spent last night rebooking everything and the only thing that had gone up was the hotel by £30. Not a deal breaker.

It seems I hadn't updated here when I changed my hotel booking earlier in the year. I cancelled the one I had booked as I found the Blue Heron which we wanted at an affordable price. Its £1435 for 13 nights for a 2 bedroom suite and we are happy with that price.







I also secured Disney tickets along the way which I also cancelled and have just had to rebook. We have the 14 day ultimates from Attraction Tickets. We paid £459 for the adult ones and £439 for Edith's. I used the £10 Dibb discount which allowed me to add the flex cover for no extra cost. I got emailed the required numbers today and managed to link them to MDE without any issues so all my theme park bookings stayed in place.

I actually can't believe we might be going now. Fingers crossed they confirm the details soon on unvaccinated children so I can stop worrying about that. I also need to get Edith used to wearing masks as the rules dictate that she will need them on the flight as well as in WDW when indoors.

Here are some up to date photos of the girls. Martha is 11 months today and into everything. She isn't walking yet but who knows by the time we leave for WDW!

Hi Abi - So exciting to see a TR for this year. We are hoping to get there for Christmas so I'll be following this report to see how things are out there. Can't wait So glad you got everything reinstated quickly. It's so strange to be worrying about the details again instead of will we actually get there!
