I'm so excited, trying to sort out what ADRs we want. You have made me think of doing ohanas or whispering canyon cafe I'm just not sure! I bet your all getting so excited xx

Hello
I know, I was sad that you didn't finish your report, I really enjoyed reading the days you did write up
It is a lot of work, but I really enjoyed doing the last one and I think it will be nice for the kids to be able to read them when they are bigger.

Congratulations on Finley (lovely name!) How are you finding it being a mum of 3? Do you think the transition from 1 to 2 or from 2 to 3 is harder?

You'll have a lovely trip next year. I'd like to try staying onsite, but i'm not sure we could give up all the space we have in a villa.

I would say DEFINIETLY try Whispering Canyon Café. It is one of the restaurants that the kids both talk about the most. They loved it, we loved the food and the resort is just beautiful.
I'll have to get back to you about Ohana's as that will be a first for us

We are getting very excited now. Almost in double digits! Eek!

Glad the phone/internet hiccup got resolved so you could get your booking done... Of all the days !

Thanks so much for reading.
I am super excited about some of the ADR's that we have booked this time. And just generally excited about going back to florida

I know, it is so typical! We hadn't had a problem since we moved in until BBB booking day! Glad it is all booked.

Thanks so much for stopping by

Ahh I will def look into whispering canyon then! I want one of the restaurants in the magic kingdom area. Thanks, we struggled with a boys name. It is definitely easier going from two to three, I just feel that they fit into your routine and I'm so more chilled this time too. It probably helps he is a good boy and sleeps through the night already. If you private message me your mobile number I can send you a video of the 2 bedroom villa at Saratoga. Obviously you don't get your own pool but we were a 30 second walk from the grandstand pool. Just if you ever fancy it in the future xx

Exciting stuff! I am so glad I found your new pre-trip report 😃 I read your last trippy and look forward to this one for even more tips - we have a 2 year old and a 6 month old and are hoping to take them in 2 years time 😁 I can't wait!

We loved it :-)

Thanks for that. We keep going back and forth about having another baby. Being outnumbered kind of terrifies me. lol.
I'm glad its going well for you and very lucky he is sleeping through the night

We wouldn't be able to afford a 2 bed, I've looked and we could just about do a 1 bed. But I don't think my DH would be sold on it because of the difference in size between that and a villa.

Ah thanks so much.
Its nice to hear that people liked our last trip report.

I think you're kids will be the perfect ages in 2 years, we had a fab time on our last trip when our kids were those ages.

Thanks for reading

Awww Emma, I can't believe it's taken me so long to get round to reading this. Your plans sound awesome. I am in love with your hand luggage! I had thought about taking cabin cases with us, but decided that we will be better off with a rucksack each so we can each carry a suitcase up the escalator at MCO and skip the second bag drop. I am not looking forward to the weight of one on my back though!

Your ADR's sound great. We are doing a few of the same. It won't be long and you'll be able to book your fast-passes

Great Pre-trippie! That Minnie cabin suitcase is adorable

So after 18 months I have finally gotten around to writing up my trip report from this trip! Oops!

In my defence we had a baby last year!

Anyway, here is a link, I’ve currently done 11 out of 23 days.
