We must be Crazy! Turning 30 in Orlando!

[abiknox]

Very exciting! We have been at that exact time of year 3 times I think and we have had a great time. Mixed weather bag but nice quiet parks (in comparison to May when we have seen it much busier). Trying November for the first time this year. Fingers crossed we like it as much.

Sounds great 😊
Happy planning

Lovely to see all this excitement and anticipation returning to the dibb after an awful 18 months.

Have a great time planning!

Thank you for the kind comments, hope everyone is doing OK and we are now seeing the light at the end of a nearly 2 year tunnel!

I will update when something happens

On another note we are going to Disneyland Paris in November so I may do a short trip report on there as I've never been!

Great place to celebrate your 30th birthday 🎉
I celebrated my 60th 2 years ago in MK best birthday ever.
Your plans sound really good and Portofino Bay looks lovely.
Looking forward to reading more about your plans

4am received an email from BA, here's your Disney Park Tickets please link them to MDE to choose your park days. I saw this email on my way into work!

Hadn't even started to plan the days yet (apart from Universal). Cue a phone call to my partner, he's half asleep still in bed, 'what days do you want to do Disney?' Him, 'it's too early for this' me, 'well I need to know, let me look at busy day guides' (who knows how accurate these will be next year!)

Pulled up a busy day guide and started reeling off what days we can do which Park, his words 'I'll need a rest day or two' HE'S NOT EVEN 30 YET! Give me strength, he's going to be worse than a 2 year old without a nap. In fact give a 2 year old they'll appreciate everything more! Ha!

I proceeded to tell him that all the parks have evening entertainment such as fireworks or shows (he has been before 13 years ago and did all the parks but he hated it and 2 years ago we just did animal kingdom). He moaned a little bit more as I said well we don't want to be up really late and then have an early start. WE'RE YOUNG WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO HACK IT...

Plan of attack:

Sat 22nd - Land MCO 16.55, pick up rental car, drive to Doubletree, check in, go to Walmart/shop get food.
Sun 23rd - Seaworld
Mon 24th - Hollywood Studios
Tues 25th - Magic Kingdom
Weds 26th - Rest Day Number 1 (but maybe a waterpark)
Thurs 27th - Epcot
Fri 28th - Animal Kingdom
Sat 29th - Rest Day Number 2
Sun 30th - Busch Gardens
Mon 31st - Check into Portafino Bay, Universal/IOA also MY 30TH, I will be wearing a sash/badge/t-shirt whatever I can persuade the other half to wear to match saying its my birthday!
Tues 1st - Uni/IOA
Weds 2nd - Shopping/Water Park weather dependinga
Thurs 3rd - Uni/IOA
Fri 4th - Uni/IOA, last minute shopping
Sat 5th - Uni/IOA HOME cue crying

There we have it, the rough, not set in stone, apart from a few things, plan!

What a whirlwind of a week you've had! It all sounds very exciting and I bet you're still buzzing that you're going to be spending your birthday in Orlando.

[caitlinsmummy]

Oh how lovely to be spending your birthday in Orlando, so magical. Looking forward to following along

I was just saying to my husband that we need to get our Disney tickets to start booking reservations too but the guide isn't out for our dates yet! X

We're considering DC! If we can get a good deal then this will probably happen
