Thanks for your input everyone. August it is then (still for 3 weeks though:flower: married2mm). Not looking forward to the humidity though!

Hi All, it's been a long time since I posted here but I know you'll help me :) In the past we have always visited Florida during Easter holidays or May half term - always giving us lovely weather, not too hot etc etc. Next year this won't be possible due DD (15) sitting GCSE's. We have...

It wasn't too onerous, I just built it into my routine. Every afternoon I would sit whilst the girls were in the pool and review my photos, upload and start to write the report, with an ice cold beer in my hand! :goodvibes, then generally I would finish it late at night whilst the girls were...

Thank you - we found it. The girls now have a pair of Crocs each so they're happy! Well you've probably guessed that we are back. Landed yesterday morning at Gatwick at 6.30am. Back in our house by 8.30am :thumbsup2 Good return journey with no hitches apart from the girls getting a touch of...

No bad weather at all - very strange?? DD11 has decided that we will return to Olive Garden this evening to finish where we left off. Never made it to Texas de Brazil, we'll have to try again next time. So at the moment we are back at the villa after a day at Universal. I've done a little...

Wednesday 8th June - Magic Kingdom Another relaxed start to the day. The girls wanted to return to MK so we arrived at about 10.30am but I have to say the process of getting from tram to monorail and into the park was horrible - it was just so so busy compared to our normal arrival time...

No you're not insane - just a big kid at heart which is always a good thing in my book. :goodvibes

We are going to Olive Garden tonight so this is just in time information - thank you. I'll let you know how we get on. x

I agree - probably not! This Mac & Cheese was the not the same as the normal processed stuff that you get in the parks, so it was OK. Also agree - why can't Disney do smaller portion of adult meals. We have bought our children up to eat exactly the same food that we do (including curry!)...

From memory I think we paid about £150 for the Dolphin Swim and £65 for non swim. I looked for discounts but couldn't find any - we don't have APs. I think it was a time of year thing - I'm sure it would be more enjoyable at a quieter time. Monday 6th June - my birthday:goodvibes We...

Our verdict on Discovery Cove It's a tricky one - but I think overall we enjoyed it. I think my expectations were quite high purely because of the way it is marketed - a tropical paradise. I thought because of the limited numbers that the day would feel very different to a 'theme park...

Well a funny thing happened today!!! We decided to have a slow start to the day for Discovery Cove. So we woke naturally at 8am, did the normal routine but no breakfast. We arrived at DC at about 9.20am went to the check in desk (BTW first impressions looked lovely and relaxing). The lady...

Oh no I hope I haven't turned you off The Forbidden Journey - it was just too intense for me. I love Waterparks too - we did go on Crush n Gusher - about three times!! great fun! Today (Friday) we have been to Universal again. I definitely feel that the Universal Parks are busier...

We had Capt Jacks on our first visit - lovely. This time we had The Brownie Sundae - equally yummy!

Thursday 2nd June Typhoon Lagoon - after the rain yesterday afternoon we woke to a beautiful day and a little cooler in temperature - phew! A perfect day for a water park. We arrived a little after opening with plenty of choice of where to sit. we didn't waste anytime and rode as many...

Yes they do. I can't remember exactly what's on it - but I'm sure the choice was good. DD7 had Pasta with Butter and Parmesan. x

Sorry for the delay in the updates. I'll start where I left off from Monday. We went shopping at The Mall of Millennia, only for a couple of hours, the girls can't handle much longer. Didn't buy anything - nothing inspired me for my birthday! We ate at The Cheesecake Factory. As others have...

Yes they manage quite well. I have to stay though we leave the parks at about 4pm, or at least try to, go back for a swim and then go out for food quite early - they are pooped after eating! Last evening was the first late evening and we will probably start employing more of your tactics now...

We will be enjoying our first villa day today - more about that later. Yesterday (Memorial Day) we went to Seaworld. We chose Seaworld because the park is large and wouldn't feel busy and crowded even if it was! DH planned all the show times so that we would have minimal walking - the 7...

Hi All, Hollywood Studios was sooooo busy and so hot today! We made the fatal mistake of not checking the opening time the night before. We assumed a 9am opening, we arrived at about 8.40 - there didn't seem to be so many people around and then we realised.... an 8am opening! This messes...
