    Welcome home! Best thing we ever did was buy DVC......twice, whilst intoxicated by pixie dust! We love it and despite having to go during school holidays too, the places we are fortunate enough to stay in, more than make up for the flight prices :)

    Best Hotel in London?

    The Dorchester is our Favourite London hotel by miles. Lovely rooms, Fantastic service and the staff are lovely, they can't do enough for you, nothing is too much effort. It is a bit pricey though!

    Flight price/when to buy?

    If your looking to fly Virgin Atlantic, the January sale is usually the best time to purchase. We have also bought in September when they have a sale, when that sale ends the price usually increases massively until the Jan sale

    What time to book an ADR on first night stay?

    We did an ADR the first night at sanaa after coming off the same flight as you last July. We were staying at Kidani so was much easier, if your staying at Jambo I would say to book Boma though, you probably won't feel like walking far after a long flight. (we never do) Our dining reservation...

    Can someone help me choose between these resorts?!

    Can I just mention that if you'd prefer a Savannah view id book AKL.

Also, there is plenty of opportunity to see the animals there anyway and I have heard the...

    Apple watch

    I am contemplating buying one out there. They do work out £100 cheaper at the moment due to the current exchange rate, but that could change. I have heard that the exchange rate is only going to get better over the next year or so, but I wouldn't rely on that

    Why Is Disneyland California Mostly Ignored By UK & Irish??

    I personally really want to do DL however, I don't think (after talking to an american friend who grew up spending her weekends at DL) there would be enough to do to spend two weeks there. I could and would like to visit LA, San Fransisco, Vegas in the same trip but don't think it would be...
