Seems busy but we don’t trudge out for restaurants reservations at night much, my Mother and Father will only do 1 day in each park apart from EPCOT i would think so it isn’t as busy as it first seems.

We are staying on this Villa (http://www.windsor-hills-orlando.co.uk/) or the VR360 (http://www.vr360floridavillas.co.uk/propertydets.asp?id=845) page. The owner Jayne has been a joy to deal with from start to finish, a compliment to the industry.
Car- 7 seater with Dollar (Express member) Booked via Car Hire Florida, Elle has been brilliant.
My mother has hired a scooter via Randy’s mobility, she is not registered disabled but has had numerous foot operations to straighten bones and has a replacement knee from about 7 years back. Hip will be replaced after this trip too!!

Likely eating habits, we love to BBQ and there is a great contraption at the villa. For breakfast we do IHOP/Bob Evans/Perkins (I am Bob Evans too strangley enough) we pack lunches during the day and on the times we go out at night it will be Tony Romas, Cracker Barrell and Outback. Others are noted such as Orlando Ale House in LBV area.
ESTA and API are done, seat requests complete etc and we plan to book in online it they can be bothered to have it working.

Phew. Roll on Holiday Time!!

Sounds like you're taking the party (and your own cast of characters) with you, so no matter what you do, it'll be fun.

Not bad report mate for an amateur ;)

Have a great time, but please don't spoil our friendship by doing any banana dancing or anything, I would suggest some minor excitement with perhaps the odd balloon as an alternative?

Hope you have a splendid holiday, villa looks great by the way.

HAd a call this morning from my Sister and her eldest lad Dan (The astute business man) has contracted Swine Flu, running a temp of 39 deg etc. He started Sunday am and has started to feel sickly in addition to the flu symptoms. As they travel on the 16th they have a reasonable enough time to sort this out. Only problem is I was at their house friday night for their youngest birthday. I am thinking there was no symptoms being shown therefore the chances will be minimal for me, my mum or dad to contract it. Sarah and the girlks were away with school and brownies.
Fingers crossed all round eveyone get away :eek:
