Hi everybody!

Even though I haven't yet completed our trip report from May this year I've decided to crack on and start a pre trip report for May 2015. You can read my 2014 trip report here.

So, on to the introductions!



My name's Amy, I'm 22 (well on Thursday anyway), work in accounts and have been a Disney fan my whole life. In fact, when I was born my grandma gave me a Mickey Mouse cuddly toy she had her friend bring over from Florida, and I still have him now.

I've been to Disneyland Paris 5 times and Disney World once. Obviously once was not enough



Lewis is my other half, we've been together 5 and a half years and got engaged on our first Disney World trip in May. He's 21, and is a "genius" for a very popular computer/phone/tablet manufacturer. He wasn't into Disney at all when I met him, but I've totally brainwashed him since. His absolute favourite is Wall-E.

Here's a couple-y photo of us.



Our plan after our first trip to Disney World this year was to start saving for a house together. That plan went out the window just 7 days after we landed back in the UK and another trip was booked.

What can I say, we had the best time!

Here's a summary of what we've booked so far:-

14 nights in Disney's Port Orleans French Quarter Resort. Flying Tuesday 5th May from Manchester direct with Virgin. Staying over at Radisson Blu the night before. Lewis did 3 weeks training in London back in April and the hotel gave him a Club Carlson card loaded with points. We used this to book a free room, but have just recently requested an upgrade to business class for £40.

We have 14 day Ultimate tickets for Disney and have upgraded from the quick service plan to the next one up. Travel City Direct initially wanted around £500 for this upgrade, but we tried them again and got a different agent who offered it for £270. Bargain.

My next update will contain our itinerary and ADR plans!
