Okay so Im brand new today
. Well kind of, Ive officially joined today, but been lurking for quite a while now, since just before my first WDW trip in Nov 07.
So a little background to this trip . As mentioned above, me and three of my closest friends made our first visit in November 07. We stayed at Pop and had an amazing two weeks! So amazing in fact that we all made a pact to do it again Then the groups dynamics took a bit of a change. Two of our original group, (one of whom being my best mate Chris) decided to join the Epcot Cultural Rep program. They were both successful and are now both roughly 6 months through their year in Epcot, both working in The Rose & Crown. So now a little later than originally planned, were off to see them. Along with some other friends, so the new Cast.
Me- Pete (27) Last WDW Trip Nov 07, with plenty of DLRP in between.
Jo (29) The second veteran from our Nov 07 trip, has also been to DLRP ten times in the last eight years
Kathryn (21) WDW Virgin, mad on Princesses, Alice in wonderland & Mary Poppins
Paul (21) Known as Kip, just along for the ride and cocktails if you ask me
Amy (23) Younger sister of Chris is over there working ,massive Princess and Tink fan. But she does hate all things HSM, so we may clash, eek!
Supporting Cast
Chris (25) On his year working in the Rose & Crown in Epcot
Kayleigh (23) see above
These two have proved very useful in the holiday planning / dining reservation department!!!
Anyway so this trip!!!! We fly on June 16th, Virgin VS027 LGW-MCO. And well be staying at the All Star Music. With one weekend at the Hard Rock Hotel/Resort? At universal where well be celebrating Chriss 25th.
The resort was a big decision and took a lot of getting the group together to debate. Basically last time we went, the two of us who are returning stayed in POP and loved it. But we kinda wanted to step up to Moderate this time. However three out of the five of us going are Uni students, and arent in full time employment like the rest of us, so wanted to save pennies where they could. We didnt mind too much, so we did try to book POP again in the end, so we settled for ASM, as it appeals the most to us, out of the three All-Stars. Weve requested adjoining rooms, and the broadway section, as that we thought, was more us.
Well be travelling up to LGW the night before to stay at the Travelodge, not because its far from us . Its only an hour drive, but we just cant be bothered with traffic in the morning, so will take an evening drive across courtsesy of Jos dad, and then stay at the Travelodge, courtsesy of our friend who is the manager of said hotel. And yes I know that Travelodge and Hotel dont really go hand in hand.
Okay thats enough for now, and Ill post what exists of our itinerary so far in the next post
