6th- Epcot to do Future world, Lunch Beaches and Cream (if we don't make epcot the night before.) 1pm BBB at DTD, 4.30pm Park Fare ADR  (We didn't make epcot or B&C)

7th- Animal Kingdom, Shopping down I-drive and dinner there (Did Animal Kingdom, don't remember Idrive)

8th- Rest Day

9th- H&V ADR 8am, MGM for as long as we want (Changed ADR to 10.30am)

18th- Whatever the kids want to do

I know we went to disney quest one day and we had dinner at DTD and The Boy built a light saber.

Missed the double digit dance!

Ah am 3 days late with my double digit dance.  Been a busy day with all my extra days at work.

96 days we'll be in the air.  Easter holidays are upon us.  The children have 2 full weeks off, which will be nice.

Snow seems to have been falling over the UK but we have zilch.  But it's been bitterly cold.  I need heat ASAP.

Think we've done a bit of our planning but still looking for new attractions around Orlando which aren't just the theme parks.  

I just wish it would hurry up.

103 Days

103 days we shall be in the air.

We reckon we'll be staying around Westridge on the H27.  So we've been having a look and finding places to eat etc.  I hope we don't get moved, but the 4 area's Thomas Cook mention are all very close together and when we booked it came up with Westridge.

I have a list of restaurants I would like to try.  They can all be found along the 192.

I think I may have talked Mr Groovee into using a toll road to cut out the traffic that week as we land on a Friday.  By doing a google map thingy on Friday around the time we arrive, it was a 30 minute journey difference which we may need.

Lil Miss has Cat in The Hat on Sky Movies.  Quite enjoying it.

Only 4 days to double digit dance.

Busy Planning

Now that the children know, we are planning with them.  Watching you tube video's, reading books and talking about the last time we went.  The Boy doesn't seem to have too many memories of when we last went, but he remembers somethings.  Lil Miss remembers quite a bit.

Have changed our reservation for Crystal Palace and going on the 2nd to MK instead of the 3rd.

Plan to try and do as much as we can  the first week, so we can chill the 2nd week.

Have bought some dollars towards our spending money.  Fingers crossed the rate maybe increases soon.

Weight loss for me is at a stand still.  Need to get myself sorted again.

Only 108 days to go!!!!

We cracked and made a reveal...

Yesterday Mr Groovee said to someone in front of Lil Miss about us being away the trades!  Tonight, we felt the need to tell the children, so 17 days early we revealed that we're going to Florida in 117 days.

Lil Miss cried at the surprise.  The Boy, well he was his usual self, "ok" and back to his iPad game!

So now we can plan together for what we want to do and where we are going.  Can't wait.
