Welcome everyone to my first (and possibly last since I forgot to write down where we went each day!) trip report! 
Ive had a lot of fun trying to remember everything since we got back a couple of weeks ago and I left my journal at home (Im useless truly I am), so hopefully what my family and I have managed to cobble together will paint a picture of our trip at least! 
Time for introductions then! Hi
Im Rachael! Im 18 and I have just left 6th Form with 3A* and 1 A at A Level and Ill be applying for Cambridge next year. I spend most of the year working my socks off to keep grades up so Im a total child and completely useless on holiday! This was my 17th trip to WDW.
This is my daddy! Ian is 48 and will be celebrating his 19th
trip to WDW in August 2011 alongside my Mum, Sue, who is also Disney mad and has forbidden me to reveal her age online! They began with their Disneymoon and have never gone too long before returning to the World 
Ellen is the middle sister at 14 on her 14th trip to WDW! Spoilt or what!? Shes brighter than I am,
so works not nearly as hard, and is consequently less useless (or so it seems) than I am on our hols! Shes obsessed with Eastenders and spent most of the trip whining about how much she was missing and praying Sky+ was working to record it!
Laura is the little sister at 12 again this was her 12th trip (I swear I drew the short straw somewhere..). Lauras had a tough year settling into high school and as the malteser (brunette on the outside, blonde on the inside!)
it always makes for a funny trip to have her tag along!
Finally, this is my Nan. Shes NEVER been to the US, let alone Florida, so of course as a true Disney family we couldnt let this continue! She struggled a little with the walking I think (we move fast and dont tend to stop often!), but she loved Disney and the States and boy could she put desserts away!! 
So thats us
You can tell we like Florida somewhat obviously! I should mention that we left behind our 4 gorgeous bunny rabbits, one of whom is ill and has pretty much lost control of her back legs 
We left them in the capable hands of my lovely boyfriend Elliott, 
who fell in love with them and now lectures us on how to look after them! We kept in touch for the whole trip via text (we kept missing each other for phone calls..) so we knew they were in safe hands!
So where did we stay I hear you cry? Well, after years of Disney Hotels, for the last few trips we decided to rent a villa off property to give us a little more privacy (and we can be as loud as we want without having to worry about the room next door - Ellen!
). So we stayed in a cute little 5 bed around 20 minutes outside of Disney Property which was conveniently placed by a local shopping centre! Bingo!
So thats the preliminaries I think! Ill do my best to remember what we did each day and Ill include as many photos as possible
Take care everyone!

Anyway, she seemed keen to be rid of us and didnt ask one security question (?) 
, so we just ignored it and went up to security (this will all become important shortly!)
It wasnt long before wed each bought a few books and were boarding the plane! 
We boarded with our pre-booked Premium Seats, and went to where they were uh oh. Only 3 of the 6 seats were in Premium!! 
So Nan, Ellen and I were seated in Premium, whilst Mum, Dad and poor little Laura (who got very upset 
Once wed settled in and chosen rooms, Dad went to Walmart to get supplies for the holiday root beer, oreos, chips, pepsi, twinkies and of course lots and lots of TEA! 
but I figured youd rather see Disney pics than Manchester Airport!
