Our First Family Disney Holiday: Pre-Trip Report
So I have read countless Trip Reports me and my time and decided now I finally have a Disney holiday booked, I would give it a go myself!
Ten years ago, DH and I spent a dream honeymoon in Florida and it was always the plan to go back to WDW once we'd had children. Fast forward to the birth of DS1 and whilst on maternity leave, I discovered theDibb and a new obsession for reliving our time in Florida. However, I felt he was too young and we would also need to start saving. After the birth of DS2, I was desperate for a Disney fix so DH and I started discussing DLP. By this point DS1 was obsessed with Winnie the Pooh and Cars, so booking the trip seemed ideal. I started researching it and decided we'd wait unti DS2 was at least one so he could go on some rides and that 2017 was the year to go. As I'm a teacher, we had to go in the school holidays and my research showed May half term was the quietest of the school holidays but also a bit warmer weather wise. We waited for the 2 nights free offer to crop up and in August last year we were able to book. So we've booked 4 nights at Hotel Santa Fe (due to DS1's Cars obsession) Monday 29th May to Friday 2nd June. We've also booked tickets for Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show for the Monday evening and a character breakfast for the Friday morning at Plaza Gardens. We're driving to Ebbsfleet and taking the Eurostar direct to DLP The Cast... Me, Emma (33) Chief Planner Fave film: Beauty and the Beast Most looking forward to: Everything! DH, Owen (34) Second in Command Planner Fave film: The Lion King Most looking forward to: Anything Star Wars DS1, Hayden (3 and a half) Fave film: Cars Most looking forward to: The Cars Ride and meeting Pooh Bear. DS2, Ashley (1 and a bit) Fave film: Winnie the Pooh Most looking forward to: Meeting characters Joining us will also be my mum aka Grandma and my youngest brother Peter. Now it's simply about counting down the days, so excited! About a month before we were due to go, Peter's girlfriend, Rachel decided to join us and then as a result, my other brother Alex. It was very stressful adding them in to all our bookings and reservations, but we got it all sorted! Edited at 08:36 PM. Reason: changing subject to include words pre-trip |
