Well, after nearly a years planning and saving for our holiday, we are back and I am suffering from both post holiday depression and jet lag! Feel absolutely gutted to be back but I suppose all good things must come to an end!
I am hoping to do a trip report if I get round to it but for now I thought I would post some of the goods and not-so-goods of our holiday.
Highlights
We were upgraded from a studio room to a one bed villa at SSR. It was beautiful, huge bed, Jacuzzi tub, and lovely view from the balcony. Was so impressed as we already got the 42% discount and free DDP offer!!!
Portofino Bay, such a beautiful resort, and for what we paid it was certainly the bargain of the holiday!
Discovery Cove, had an even better time than we did last year! Great weather and so much fun.
Tutto Italia & Reglan Road, our two favourite restaurants and really the only two we fully enjoyed on the DDP.
Halloween Horror Nights Wow!
Manta at Seaworld, what a great coaster! Now my second favourite, after Shikra.
Lowlights
Whilst at our one night stay at Four Points on I-Drive, the staff there managed to loose a small bag we had that contained our DC photos and a gift for my Mum. This was so upsetting and happened on our last day, just a few hours before we had to leave for the airport! We are in contact with them now about hopefully sorting out replacements.
Rip Ride Rockit at Universal. What a big disappointment! The ride shook us about and overall had little thrill factor!
The size of SSR, much larger than we imagined and as we were not driving it stopped us exploring the resort as much as we had wanted to. Also as we were staying in the Carousel section, is was quite a distance to DTD.
Overall we had a great holiday, just cant believe its all over now! Well thats it for now, as I said I will try to right a trip report up but cant promise anything!
If anyone has any questions I will be more than happy to answer them.
