So where to start
(Need a bracket here I'm dyslexic so although I try to catch most errors I will miss a few please be kind)
I'm not fond of pictures of myself in fact hate then so sorry not lots of selfies in my report.

This was my to fur loves (Simba and Nala) the day I got back from Disney last year, safe to say they missed me lol. (Pic will follow when I figure out how to do this from an iPad lol)

I live in England now although was born and grew up in the military so travel is my normal.
I work in a busy children's emergency department as a nurse.
I love Disney with a passion, hey I work with Children I can call to research.

1st two trips to Disneyworld were made with my best friend who works on the childrens ward at the same hospital unfortunately she up'd and had children (how inconvenient).
Just kidding I love them get to be an honorary auntie but it does mean that my Disney bud no longer has the money for travel so the last 4 trips have been solo trips although I did drag my mum and neice one year.

This year I'm going at my usual time. I fly of 30th of September via Dublin with Aer Lingus.
The advantage of this being I pre clear immigration in Dublin (not something that's fun after a 9 hour flight at nearly midnight uk time). Returning on 12th October.
Longest trip yet I usually go for ten day two of which were scupper by the hurricane last year. I watched a lot of Disney films that trip lol. As well as trying to calm down my family and friends via messenger as they were worrying about me being by myself.

Staying at port Orleans French quarter which I'm looking forward to I've stayed at all the values, animal Kingdom Lodge and beach club but never any of the moderates.

My buddy from last year hoping to find a new one this year.
He wouldn't fit in my bag on the way home so I ended up carrying it in the outside of my hand luggage backpack, scared they life out of the flight attendant when she went to close the overhead locker:teeth:

So no park on Saturday 30th as I will lightly collapse in a heap of exhaustion by the time I get to the hotel after about 12 hours of flying and airports:faint:.

Sunday 1st
Well it had to be Magic kingdom. Heading for rope drop as will still be on uk time and lightly fell asleep early due to travel.
I'm on quick service food plan and do to being on a night shift when the reservations were released I managed to get 11:00and a13:15 bog res still haven't decided which one to do, any ideas?

Monday 2nd
Epcot
No firm plans for this day but not fireworks this is the only fireworks show I don't do, I watched the Epcot fireworks a few years ago and ended up down wind and getting firework spark in my eye:sad: really painful red eye for next few days and I still hold a grudge.

Only other plan I'm trying for is magic kingdom desert party on 4th but as yet although I can see the dates on the web page I can't get a reservation :headache: but determined to keep trying.
I wear a hearing aid and am only little height wise 5"2. So I get lost and disoriented in crushy crowds.
I've done it last year for wishes and loved it got to hear all the music as no background noise to interfere with my aids. (People's clothes moving and talking are irritatingly loud when I'm close beside them).
