While planning for this trip, I read a little about the Segway Tours. When the Birnbaum book came with a 10% voucher in the back, I asked my brother if he'd like to go on it. He thought it was too expensive and didn't want to pay for it. It left me a touch deflated as I REALLY wanted to do it! I...

Many apologies for the lack of updates to this, Real Life seems to have caught up with me recently! Here is a double-dose to make up for it... Got up at a positively lazy 9am after a good nights sleep. Showered and breakfasted again, uh... lazily, so we arrived at MGM at about 10.30. First...

The alarm went off again at 7am in another vain attempt to have us at Animal Kingdom for the 8am EMH, but surprise surprise, that didn't work out. After the boring morning ritual of showers and french toast, we were on the bus at 8.30. This was our first ever visit to Animal Kingdom. Any of...

Thanks for all the kind replies! :cool1:

We woke up at 7am today, very tempted to get up and go straight out, but we couldn't decide what to do. We considered taking it pretty easy; take some boats out on the lake in the morning before over to Epcot for lunch. Finally rolled out of bed a 9am; showered and dressed and over to an...

it's time to add another (quite short) day to my trip report. After yesterdays long day, it wasn't the greatest start to be woken at 7am by our alarm clock, but we had made plans to get to MGM (I REFUSE to call it "Disney Studios"!) for the Early Magic Hours. After the usual breakfast and...

(Happy Rainy Bank Holiday All! Hope this will cheer everyone up! :cool1: ) I woke up at 6am today, but being the nice friendly chap I am, let my brother keep on snoring all the way to 7.45 Showered and on over to the Food Court for The Breakfast of Kings © - more French Toast! We were...

Finally, onto the good stuff. No more planes and coaches. I would have thought that after our long day yesterday that we would have slept through earthquakes and woken at a more "ordinary" time, but alas; 3.30am and I was wide awake and wondering why a park doesn't open about this time for...

It was just something I had to try out. I started walking in the gym 4-5 months before the trip to get myself ready. It also gave me something to concentrate on and a goal to work towards. In the end, the break from day-to-day life at home, the daily exercise and the sunshine (the limited...

Woke up at The Hilton Gatwick about 8 o clock and flicked the TV onto Sky News to find disastrous news; SNOW! This country grinds to an absolute halt in any weather that is slightly out of the ordinary, so it was panic time. Either that, or we'll build snowmen in the car park. Had an...

Not much to say about today, apart from it was super super boring :bored: Finished up my packing in the only style I know (bung it all in, shut the lid), a light lunch then off to the station to catch my National Express coach down to Gatwick to meet my brother at the Hilton (that's...

I was posting my Trip report from January/Feb '07 on the forums over at Sorcerer Radio when I remembered all the great trippies I had read here at the Dis that had put a big smile on my face and given me some great ideas when I was planning my trip. I thought it would be sad not to repay in...

While I completely agree with you, I meant it was sad to see in a "we're all humans - why can't we just all get along" fashion :)

I did the Segway Tour at 9am on 31st Jan. It was a great experience, and well worth the cost of the tour. If anyone is worried about managing to control the Segways, one of the guests on our tour was an 84 year old, and he was the most adventurous! Our group was 6 guests, Kimmie our guide and...

After seeing the lengthy queues at the security checkpoints the first morning of our trip at MK, I was certainly glad that I just had big pockets!

We passed through immigration on 24th Jan with no problem at all - My brother was reading UG2007 on the plane and was carrying it when we got to the desk. The guy there said "Going to Disney huh?" stamped the cards and we were through. The asian family infront of us however, were given the...

Ta very muchly :) /selfish mode on - i hope it's all cleared up in time for my flight next week!

Perforated eardrum.
