:) Another Dose of Disney Dreams!-August 2016-Index ***COMPLETE***

Well i can't believe that we have been back nearly a month now. I've had such bad Disney blues but I'm hoping by writing this trip report, it will bring back all those fabulous memories.

We're a family of five who spent 5 nights at Sapphire Falls followed by 14 nights at Port Orleans Riverside and ending our holiday on a 3 night Disney cruise.

Can I just say that there are some amazing writers on the Dibb but I am not one of them. I'll try to do the best I can, it will be an account of our time in Florida and the Disney cruise. One thing it will have lots of are photo's I hope you enjoy.

Thanks for reading

Julia

I can't wait!, looking forward to seeing your boardwalk pictures...
I did spot you that day but wasn't in a position to say hello without looking like a mad stalking woman!
I too have the Disney blues, just ordered some vintage style prints of our holiday though and I'm going to put them up in our kitchen so we can look at them everyday! I'll post some pics on Instagram when they arrive. Any plans for next year yet? I'm keeping busy planning 2018 and as its all new it's all exciting! Hope you are all well...

Hi Nicky, I'm glad I'm not the only one who's still feeling this way, we need to set up some kind of support group
Oh it doesn't matter, I did wonder because I saw your post about arriving at the Boardwalk and we'd been stood in the lobby waiting for a little while. It was so lovely to see you in Magic Kingdom though.

Can't wait to see your vintage pics they sound fab, might have to know where you've got them from. We're the same talking about the holiday loads, it's good to keep those memories strong. We're not sure yet, I was so tempted by those BA prices a couple of weeks back and was so disappointed at not getting the flights to Los Angeles as we'd love to do a West coast trip like you're planning. Still things happen for a reason and I think Poppy might just be a little too young to enjoy that kind of holiday to the full. Maybe give it a couple more years. I'll be stalking your IG when you're away there and asking for lots of help and tips

I'm feeling so much better after and horrendous time last week and the rest of us are doing great too. Hope you're all well too Xx

Sorry to hear you've had an horrendous week...hope you've not been poorly?
I've ordered my photos from LaLa Lab and I'm still desperately waiting for them to arrive! They look like Polaroid pictures but I've had them all in black and white and added text at the bottom. It was only around £16.00 for approx 58 or so pics. I had 20% discount for first timer and downloading the app to my phone. It was very easy! We have a wall behind our island in the kitchen where we eat all our meals together so I thought it would be nice to make a really big photo display... It might not work but at least we will look at our pics everyday and remember our highlights.

It was the tooth Nicky, ended up with a dry socket which was so painful, knocked me out for the week.

That sounds brilliant, I will have a look. I like the sound of the Polaroid photo's. Brilliant idea having the photo's in a place where you get to see them a lot. Thanks X
