Thank you. I'm definitely trying to keep the evening park shows towards the end so the kids may be awake for some of them this time.

Yeah, I think you are probably right. Just would have been handy to leave it's collection until later in the trip. I'd make a special trip there for a lot less than $300 though so I will have to squeeze it in.
I don't think too much will get changed now... famous last words I know

Evening shows later in the trip was my plan for this trip too but I just can't seem to resist adding some to the plan earlier on! My kids are much older though so can cope with the late nights - it's the getting them up in the morning that can be tricky.

My two slept through every single show until our very last night last time and I was gutted 😂 only planning on rivers of light in the first few days and I think we may all sleep through that from what I have seen 😂 I can’t wait for the day when my two want lay ins 😂

Well this really is the boring part of the countdown! Nothing to do whatsoever. I have managed to finally link my car hire to my Avis preferred account in the last few days so that’s one thing off the top ‘do’ list.

I’ve actually found myself looking at Dibb villas and musing about a possible August 2021 trip... does anyone think sally will divorce me if I book one without even discussing a 2021 trip with her? 😂😂🤣🤣

The lull between FP day and ADR day is awful! If you find a bargain I bet she won't. Look at me and Mr Grump I expected to be divorced from him by now but we're still married 😂 (only just mind!) xx

It really is awful and I'm not even a month into it.
We have mentioned a possible trip 2022 or blow one again in 2023 but she shouldn't go to work and leave me with the kids and a laptop... it just costs us money
I'm going to try and put the temptation to the back of my mind until we have the spending money sorted for this one

I'm sure you'd be able to talk her around.

I floated the idea briefly in passing. I got the death stare that only wives can do 😂

😂 I love that you are already contemplating another trip next year!

A downside of summer trips for me is how late the evening shows are, it does make it difficult with younger ones. We tried watching Illuminations from La Hacienda in 2015 and both boys fell asleep at the table!
