    2024 Destash Dare to be Bare!

    I've tossed a few threadbare/broken items of clothing and shoes recently. Put a few more in the donations pile but I haven't made it to drop them off yet. We've got our council pick up in a couple of weeks, so trying to get prepared for that, identifying larger items that we should put out...

    Split-stay with multiple resorts - looking for feedback

    Thank you all for your valuable insight! For those encouraging us to consider travel insurance, we've already got it 😉 This is an absolute necessity for us coming from Australia to cover any healthcare costs we might need while we're over there, but is also handy for covering other things too...

    Split-stay with multiple resorts - looking for feedback

    Hi all, I've read various threads going through the pros and cons of split-stays, and I think for our circumstances it makes sense. We're staying 14 nights and, since this is very likely a once in a lifetime (or close to it) trip, I'd love to experience multiple resorts. We can also offset the...

    Diary of an Aussie Disney Honeymooner

    Let's get to Disney already! Being as this is a Disney forum after all, I'll get onto some of our thoughts for Disney. We haven't made any specific arrangements yet, it's more brainstorming at this point. A rough itinerary: We will have 14 nights in Orlando (so 13 full days), which is slightly...

    Diary of an Aussie Disney Honeymooner

    Welcome aboard! I just love the desert areas over there, so much more interesting than our desert which is basically just a big flat straight expanse of sameness lol! I'd love to spend more time in Arizona and Utah - sadly didn't have time this trip as well as my concerns about snow and driving.

    Diary of an Aussie Disney Honeymooner

    Road trip! Ben's friend has been hassling him to go back to Vegas for years, so when he heard that we were planning to get married in the US, the plan was hatched to meet in Vegas for a few days on the way across to Orlando. Now that we're not doing the Disney wedding, the friend is very happy...

    Diary of an Aussie Disney Honeymooner

    Long haul locked and loaded We are flying premium cabins using frequent flyer points, and I know that some people are interested in this so including a bit of info on our experience. Yes, I'm a bit of a flight snob, and definitely prefer business class for long haul flights over about 8 hours...

    Diary of an Aussie Disney Honeymooner

    Welcome! Welcome to Version 2.0 of my PTR. Some of you may remember me from my previous PTR, ‘Diary of an Aussie Disney Bride’. Well, unfortunately the Disney wedding will not be going ahead, but we will still be celebrating our nuptials Disney style with a Disney honeymoon instead. For those...

    PTR - Diary of an Aussie Disney Bride (Feb 2025)

    Adulting is hard After careful analysis of the numbers, feedback from family and friends, and much deliberation, we have decided to get married in Perth instead of having the Disney wedding. Unfortunately under Disney's new pricing structure (that came in a couple of years ago now), there is no...

    PTR - Diary of an Aussie Disney Bride (Feb 2025)

    Long haul locked in It's been an anxious wait for availability to open up for our flights from LAX to Singapore, but I am very relieved to say that I was able to book today! No stops on this one, just a straight nearly 18 hours of flight time from LAX to Singapore, departing around 10:30pm one...

    2024 Destash Dare to be Bare!

    I've fallen off the wagon a little with keeping track of everything and checking in here, but I've still been going! Finally threw out an old pair of slippers and a worn out pair of runners I've been saving for 'gardening shoes' but never wore in the garden lol! I just can't bring myself to...

    Quick Singapore TR

    Glad you enjoyed it 😊 It may seem counter-intuitive, but Singapore is one of the best places around for parks and gardens. We certainly didn't get to all of them! Such a nice easy trip from Perth too (for once lol!). BTW your doggy is super cute 🐶😍 We're only just starting obedience training -...

    HKDL Private Transfers

    I've always just taken a taxi and never had any problems. If it's just you, there will be plenty of room for luggage, even if you have to share the backseat with it lol!

    Buying an AP at Hong Kong Disneyland

    I've always bought MAPs in advance (online) so I can also get the benefit of the hotel discount for my stay. Pretty sure I've always received the physical card at check-in. Not sure if this is still how they do it - my last trip was in 2019.

    PTR - Diary of an Aussie Disney Bride (Feb 2025)

    Oh, lol! Obviously I'm not that familiar with Vegas. I've only ever been for 1 night back in 2011, and I just picked a mystery hotel through hotwire so didn't do any research. Good to know we've picked a decent location though!
