11 Days Of Orlando Magic - The Night Before!

[Blondie1979]

The day has finally arrived! Mum and I are off to Gatwick for our overnight stay at the Hilton.
Mum is picking me up at 4pm and I spend most of the day packing then re packing and watching the clock!

After several cups of tea in my favourite mug mum finally arrives!

We hit the road to Gatwick, we are so excited!

Car selfies with some familiar faces!

Nearly there!

We arrive outside the very busy Hilton to meet our Maple Manor meet and greet guy, we had called 15 minutes prior to arrival and he was there waiting for us.

We handed over the car and went and checked in.

After a long trek to our room we were happy to find it was lovely and clean and comfy.

A few pictures of the room... The bathroom.

The bedroom.

View from the room.

Time for some bubbly!

We head to the executive lounge for another drink.

It's all included in the cost of the room, the lounge is busy but we find a spot.

And indulge in some more bubbles.

After our drink we decide to go into the terminal for dinner. This is a shot of the atrium of the hotel.

A 5 minute walk gets us to the terminal.

Dinner is at Giraffe.

I have the giraffe burger (not actually giraffe but beef burger with bacon and cheese!) Mum has a chicken burger and we share an onion rings. The food was lovely and we were very full afterwards.

After dinner we wander over to the Virgin check in area where we will be coming to tomorrow morning!

Can you tell I'm excited?!?!

We pay one more visit to the lounge for a coffee before heading back to our room.

So we have arrived and our adventure is beginning! We have waited 506 days for this moment and we intend on making every moment magical.
I will be posting daily updates here on the Dibb and I hope you can join us and be part of our trip.
That's all for tonight we will try and get some sleep but I cannot see it happening! 😄😉
