After 5 years in the wilderness we're back

Hi All,

I've been dreaming of being back on The Dibb and here I am! Today we booked for WDW in August 2020, it's a long way off but to say I'm excited would be an understatement.

DH and I have been 4 times, our girls (currently 9&10yrs) have been 3 times. Last time was in Christmas 2014, it's been too long. We've kept ourselves busy, we've been to Mexico, Ibiza, Australia,Rome, been backpacking/inter-railing through Europe, changed jobs and relocated but we've always had Disney at the back of our minds!

Our previous trips were:

2008 - Pre kids, a few Disney days added onto a New York holiday. This is where we caught the bug. We'd been to Disney Paris but Orlando was a game-changer!

Feb 2012 - with a 19 month old and a 2.5yr old, hard work with the little ones but magical. They truly believed in the magic and I'll be forever grateful we went when they were so young. On this holiday we realised that our favourite place on Earth was Port Orleans Riverside!

Feb 2013 - With a now nearly 2.5 year old and a 3.5 year old. Still hard work but easier and we'd learnt lots from the earlier trip and had a game plan. Back to our wonderful Port Orleans Riverside.

Dec 2014 - A 3-week extravaganza to put to bed a horrible year after the stress of a double mastectomy. Port Orleans Riverside (naturally), then Universal Cabana Bay then back to Riverside. In MK for Christmas day, just magical.

Now we're booked for late Aug 2020, 5 nights at PO Riverside and then 5 nights at Universal Endless Summer Surfside. I just can't wait.

Cast members:
EllieJoy (me): main money spender, high thrill ride seeker, big drinker and eater 😅

DH: In charge of budget, main planner, big StarWars fan.

DD1 & DD2: Will be 10&11yrs when we go. Good travellers, holiday addicts.

Looking forward to TheDibb catching me up on all the changes that have happened whilst we've been away.

Welcome back! Lovely to read your Disney background - and wow, you've been busy - so many trips in between.
Happy planning (never too early to start!). Will you be doing a trip report?

Yes, I'm planning to. I did a pre-trippie for our last one but ended up not doing the trip report - must do better this time!

This is my two girls on our 2012 trip, they've grown up a bit since then!
