Soooo, I rang Disney yesterday! After initially saying there was no availability for us to shift our booking by a day, the lovely lady that I spoke to put me on hold and, when she came back, she'd managed it! Woooooo! 10 points to you, WDWTC!

I decided that I'd better check with the husband about adding the cruise on (I'm such a considerate wife ) and fired off a quick text to him this morning. A typically laid back response of "sure!" came back and within seconds (literally) I was on the DCL website paying the deposit.

So the holiday thus far now looks like this:

13th-25th September 2017 - Yacht Club
25th-29th September 2017 - Disney Dream Bahamian Cruise

I am so FLIPPING excited I can barely contain myself. I'm currently at work and trying really hard not to have a little dance in my seat

I'm still planning to add a few days onto the start, at either HRH or RPR, but won't be booking that for a while!

I've only just seen your comment, must have missed it!

I am so so excited. After reading your trippy, I don't think we'll bother getting off in Nassau, other than for the obligatory pic in front of the sign! So loads of time on the ship

Love a good pun

A little update!

So, I've been browsing prices for HRH/RPR over the last couple of weeks. After reading a few trippies recently, I'd 99% decided on RPR but thought I'd let the price have the final say! Well, on Expedia last week 4 nights at RPR was £656, which I thought was pretty good based on prices I've seen in other reports. I was mad busy at work though so decided to leave it for a bit longer. I looked again yesterday and it was down to £635 but I still didn't book for some reason. At lunchtime today it was down to £629! I couldn't wait any longer so have booked a Standard King room through ebookers.com for four nights - 9th-13th September 2017! Also got 10% cashback which has tracked already, so that brings it down to about £141.75 a night. I'm pretty happy with that price to be honest! However, it's free cancellation so if I suddenly happen across a much better deal (although I doubt I will), I can always cancel and rebook elsewhere.

I cannot wait to be lying by that pool with a cocktail or two!

So the itinerary is now:

9th-13th September - RPR
13th-25th September -Yacht Club
25th-29th September - Disney Dream

20 nights! Eeek! I'd better stop adding on extra nights soon I think Although I am tempted to try and get a night at one of the DVC resorts for after we've disembarked from the cruise, just to extend it a little bit more and delay the return to reality for longer

Not much else to report at the moment. My husband is away with work until the beginning of August so I'm home alone and spending my time VERY wisely reading as many trip reports as I can! I've also just set up a savings account with a regular weekly transfer of £25, which should hopefully cover our holiday (cocktail) spends by the time September 2017 finally rolls around.

Thanks for reading!

What a fantastic trip you've got planned! Your hotel choices sound amazing, would love to stay at the Yacht club. That looks like a great price too for RPR, you will enjoy it there it's such a lovely resort.

Wow a 4 night cruise, how fab!

Looking forward to hearing more xx

Ammmmmmmazing hotel choices! RPR looks so beautiful. We made it to the lobby and it seemed so chilled.

Mcr cocktails needed! We must sort this soon! X

We are going on our honeymoon to AKL for ten nights from the 11th September 2017! Hoping to get a hotel near Universal too after for a few extra days then we're off to Nashville to finish it off! I can't wait either! Already starting my planning- restaurants and snacks, we love food too!
I've been to MK before but never been to all the parks or stayed on site so very exciting for me and husband to be has never been to America let alone Disney so can't wait to show him why I love it! Maybe see you there!
