Ahh the memories! - a whirlwind trip report in pictures - to remind me it's all worth waiting for!
Hello, if anyone is missing trippies and fancies a whirlwind trip, feel free to have a look!
Looking through the photos of our last trip, sad at numerous attempts to get back to our Happy Place being thwarted by Covid cancellations - it struck me I need to keep reminding myself it's all worth waiting for! So a brief, photo heavy, whirlwind trip report! Hope it keeps the night light burning for anyone else LONGING to get back over there! The date was July 2019... The cast... Me, Ellen - chief planner and Ideas Woman, My hubby (Loves it all as much as me - I sure created a monster when I first cajoled him into trying Disney and Orlando in general all those years ago! ) Our 3 sons aged 17, 20, 23 at the time - been going for as long as they all can remember, and I hope they ALWAYS want to come with us at least now and again. now that they are young men. Flew from Manchester with Thomas Cook to MCO. 3 week trip. 2 weeks Disney onsite at Port Orleans Riverside 1 week in a 5 bed villa at Highlands Reserve to do Universal. Hired a large vehicle as for the last week my FIL was flying in to join us. He was 83 year old (at the time) fit and active, and WILL still go on pretty much anything, ride wise Let's begin - Manchester Airport, drinks for 2, 'kids' off playing some computer game... Onboard Straight to Disney! Pick up our bands... Organise which of my newest ears to wear? Off to Animal Kingdom Lodge for quick food (don't ask, been hankering for a trip back there, here's some desserts we had - Then straight to the fun! It HAS to be Hollywood Studios first park, first night! Great to be back! Then back to resort, worn out, Port Orleans Riverside at night - stunning! My whirlwind whiz around my memories To be continued...

Enjoying your whistlestop tour 🙂
Certainly keeps the hopes alive for a return to our favourite place! Beautiful photos of POR at night ...although we stayed there i don't think we ever saw it at night as we were too exhausted! Something to rectify next time 🤞 Look forward to more.🙂

Keep em coming! I especially love that your boys still go with you. I dread the day my kids decide they are too old so this gives me hope!

I do really hope so!
Very full! As the holiday went on the boys tended to stay out later more than we did! Thank you, Oh you really must see POR at night! It was stunningly beautiful! I must have taken a thousand photos, each trying to capture the essence without really managing to. I really miss wandering around in the warmth...

I know, how we used to take it all for granted, eh!
I'm glad! It has really raised my spirits doing this Ahh Nellie I know how you feel! I dread the day too! But they were all supposed to be coming with us again in 2020 but of course that never happened, we are booked to go on our own this year, fingers crossed, but 2022 will be all of us again, all being well! I hope they don't ever stop wanting to come. I know they will in time, realistically, but for now I'm grabbing that opportunity with both hands
