Well I am jumping on the pre trip band wagon (i aint getting off either WHOA)
.
The 9 People (Cast)
Me - Andi (39), been a few times, tried a trippie last Feb, didn't fininsh it (my apologies, memory loss LOL)
Girlfriend - Ann (not saying), came last Feb, loved it on the quiet, hates coasters, read the signs outside the rides and if it says it safe for small babies, she'll go on them, however she did Jaws (OMG)
GFS - Andrew (20), Also came last time, international jet setter, just come back from Mexico, he's off to Belfast in a few weeks, then Orlando (WOW)
GFD - Rachael (16), Yep she came as well, heavliy into shopping now so I am in a panic
Thats one family, here's the other, they are very good friends of ours.
Wayne - Great goalkeeper, just givin up smokin, loves a pint and another and another
Nicola - Loves shopping and Siouxie and the Banshees
Leah - Nicola's daughter, very tall, buzzing about the visit
Genna - Wayne's daughter, been earlier this year, also international jet setter
Jordan - Nicola's son, just cant wait, loves wearing footy tops
The Background
We went last Feb and enjoyed ourselves immensly, came back with a few quid and didnt think anything else about it. Later on in the year we had spoke to Nicola and Wayne about going in 2008, they said they were up for it, so I looked into the costings. It went quiet till the new year.
So we enter 2007 and this year I am 40 (
), gifts will be accepted, I have great idea, why dont we go this year and celebrate my birthday in Orlando. Its discussed in length and everyone agrees after a time and I look to book. GFD however is going to college in Sept, so the birthday trip has to wait till the week after the date I will be 40, nevermind we book for the week after (17/9).
We are travelling cattle class with TCD, accomodation will be a 6 bed villa, we have pre booked 14 day ultimate Disney tickets, 5 day Orlando flexi ticket and Dolly Parton Dixie Stampede (this is a surprise for the other family, my little treat), we have 2 seven seater vehicles with platinum insurance thrown in and of course double baggage!. The total come to just over 7 grand (i could have got a car, but I already have one) for that.
I have been changing money here and their taking advantage of the $2 for £1, got insurance from moneysaving expert site, annulay policy for just over £50.00 for each family.
Our itinerary (subject to change)
17th - Flight, find villa and bearings, maybe dinner out or pizza in?
18th - DAYTONA BEACH
19th - EPCOT
20th - MAGIC KINGDOM
21st - WET N WILD, PREMIUM OUTLETS, DIXIE STAMPEDE (the surprise)
22nd - ??
23rd - BUSCH GARDENS
24th - UNIVERSAL STUDIOS (INC TNA WRESTLING TAPING)
25th - ANIMAL KINGDOM
26th - DISNEY MGM
27th - BLIZZARD BEACH/TYPHOON LAGOON??
28th - ISLAND OF ADVENTURES
29th - SEA WORLD
