Technically our holiday (Dave, Elsie and I) holiday started Friday evening when Dave got home. I thought I would share a few things we got up to.
Elsie's first time bowling
She had asked to go bowling all week (We had been to a wedding the week before and at the reception venue they had a skittle alley and the kids were calling it bowling). So we decided we would take her.
Meeting Darth Vader and a Storm trooper
OK so these guys could talk. I don't know if you meet them in Disney if they do but I was shocked. 7-8 year old boys were scared of these guys half a pint Elsie walked straight up to Darth Vader and said "Hello". He replied "Hi how are you?" Elsie's answer "Good thanks! I am going to Disney World"
They told her how lucky she was, had a photo and left.
Gromit unleashed.
Not sure how well known this is outside of the South West of England but it was to raise money for a Bristol Children's hospital. For 10 weeks they had 80 Gromit's scattered around. We loved finding them during the summer but for a limited 5 days they had an exhibition to see all 80 plus 1 extra.
My favourite Gromit
The Gromit's were auctioned off after the exhibition. Disney actually bought Buzz Lightyear Gromit for a whopping £65,000.
The day before we went we went to pick my nan up, get a last few things for our trip, had every one round for a hot dogs and they all brought their suitcases to ours so we could load them straight in to the mini bus in the morning.
Travel Day
Our flight was early 9.15 and having to be there 3 hours before plus 40 minutes getting there we were up early. All week I had been suffering with ear ache and had to gone to bed really nervous about flying the next day. I woke up (an hour before my 4.50 alarm) and my ear was fine it was a miracle (or so I thought it returned the next day). Feeling great I jumped in the shower, then got my self ready. Sammi, Dave and Miley knocked on the door about 5.30. I still hadn't got Elsie up and Dave was still getting dressed. Luckily I was keeping Elsie in her PJ's on so just put a clean pull up on as really didn't want any accidents on the plane and she was ready.
Our Hallway and Kitchen was full of luggage we had a 9 suitcases, 2 push chairs, 2 car seats 3 sets of golf bags and now Sammi, Dave and Miley were there we had 6 pieces on hand luggage. This was fun to get it all on to the mini bus lol at 5.45am.
Any way all loaded we were on our way. We stopped to collect mum, dad and nanny from outside mum and dads house (just a 1/4 of a mile away).
Arriving at the airport I was SOOOOOO great full mum and dad had paid for us all to go premium with Thomson the check in line was HUGE!
All checked in we made our way through security (again very great full fast track) I think we all set the buzzer off and got a little pat down even Elsie. She thought the lady was giving her a hug bless her and tried to hug her back.
I had booked a table at Dexters a restaurant in the airport but they didn't have our reservation any where. They were quiet so it didn't matter I was just a bit upset as I had planned for there to be balloons etc at the table but never mind.
Full and a quick look round Duty Free our flight was called. Sounding like a broken record but SOOOOO great full for the Premium as we were on first at the very front of the plane.
Waiting for the plane
Looks so grown up in her own seat.
The flight was uneventful very disappointed with the entertainment. The films were lets say
pants. Luckily I had loaded the I pads with plenty of Doc Mcstuffins, Mickeys Club House and films like Wreck It Ralph. I did watch Modern Family
Disneyland but apart from that is was the flight map.
We landed and immigration and Sandford was empty!
I think we were the 2 or 3rd family through. Here is my first moan about Thomson Premier our bags took ages. Where as other airlines put 1st class and premium class bags out first. Dave's (brother in law) golf clubs were the very last thing to come off. They even had to ask for them and at first thought they were lost.
Cars collected after another palaver. Mum and dad had booked 2 Dodge Caravans or similar and we got a Dodge caravan and some small car like a ford mondeo size. Eventually they got it swapped to a kia Sadona.
We arrived at the huge villa.
Elsie and Dave were straight in the pool.
Whilst they were in the pool Mum, Nanny, Sammi and I went to Walmart. We got a few necessities like Lucky Charms, Oreos, Pink Lemonade and Mountain Dew. When we got back the guys went to Walmart for more necessities like beer and BBQ lays.
Modern Family series 5 was premièring tonight at 9 so we were forcing our selves to stay awake it for it. Dave and I watched it bed well we lasted 45 minutes. Elsie was already fast asleep.
Looking forward to reading more 
cant wait for more! Xx
