Yarrr me Mateys! pirate:

Well I am far too excited! :woohoo:

After pleading for what feels like an eternity(!) it is decided that we are going back to Orlando!

And even better my best friend is coming too! :thumbsup2

You see me and my best friend have talked about a Disney trip since we were 12! Well I was 12 and she was 10. She missed out last year as she couldn't afford it at the time. :( She was misreable when we were away and I felt awful. She hasnt been in 6 years! :scared1:

I have never done a PTR before. And this will be a lonnnnngggg one!

So here's the details:

Date:8th October - 22nd October 2012 (yes 2012!)
Glasgow - Sanford Airport

Accomodation:Fairfield Inn, Marriott Village, Lake Buena Vista (3rd stay at this hotel)

Parks:Walt Disney World (14 days for the price of 7) :yay:
Universal Studios/Islands of Adventure (Maybe Harry Potter)
Maybe Seaworld (undecided, we weren't too impressed on our last visit, but my friend hasn't been)

Peoples:Myself - Sarah, 24 years old, total WDW geek. Obsessed isn't even the word. I prowl these boards daily to get my Disney fix. Fav film - Pirates of the Caribbean (1-4), Fav character - Simba, Fav park - Magic Kingdom, Fav ride - POTC. This will be my 6th trip to Disney. Have been lucky enough to stay onsite twice but that looks unlikely to happen again unless we win the lottery :laughing:

My dbf - 'N', 24 years old, just as WDW obsessed as me. (got myself a good ane there!) Fav film - Cars, Fav character(s) - Chip and Dale, Fave park - Epcot, Fav ride - TOT . This will be his 5th visit to Disney.

My best friend - 'L', 22 years old, another Disney addict. Fav film - Wall-e, Fav character - Wall-e, Fav park - Magic Kingdom, Fav ride - Space Mountain. This will be her 5th Disney visit also.

My sister - 'C', 20 years old, puts up with our Disney obsessions. Fav film - Toy Story, Fav character - Buzz Lightyear, Fav park - DHS, Fav ride - TSM. This will be her 6th Disney visit.

There my be another 2 joining our party but that is TBC. :wizard:


So we have 1 year 2 months to save, luckily we are all in steady jobs.
And I have all that time to plan! I have already started to make autograph books!
Any tips you want to share feel free! This is just to help me out. I know the DIS is great for ideas! Plus our last holiday didn't get off to the best start. Our original airline went bust :headache: and we had such a hassle to get a new flight a PTR is exactly what I needed to help me get through it so this year I am organised!
And hopefully will help the time fly along! :cloud9:

I can not waiiittttt :cutie:

Sarah :flower3:
 
So the extra 2 have been confirmed!
L's boyfriend of 3 years Cr and our dear friend I are joining us! :cool1:

I am going down to the travel agents this afternoon to try and haggle the price down a little more, original quote was £1432pp but I have managed to get it down to £1155! How crazy is that! For the same holiday. Plus it is non stop flights, in the school holidays and incl transfers! Ours last year was £895 and that was with a stop in Newark and during the school term so I am chuffed. :rotfl:

I have 1 year 2 months to plan! ;)
I have came up with a few ideas to keep me occupied:
*Actually type up my TR from August which I have had written in my gorgeous Marie notbook for the past 3 months :laughing:
*Plan 2nd tattoo. I am longing for a desperate for a Disney tattoo but it is hard to decide! The Theme Parks community board has a fantastic Tattoo thread so I'll mosey over there for a while.
*Make a count down calander for me and L
*Make autograph books for me and L, she has never had an autograph book before! :scared1:
*Work out my finances.
*Work out DBF's finances :rotfl:
*Save save save! Those vinylmations won't buy themselves! :dance3:
*Pay plenty attention to the DIS :thumbsup2

Sorted! :hippie:

Well I have been busy today!
Never got to the travel agents but I did manage to start my TR for
last August!
I have completed the intro, the flight, day 1 at MK and day 2 at DHS!
Here is the link for any lurkers interested.

I have also made our autograph books! They are quite simple but I hand drew the Wall-E for L and the Simba for me so it took awhile!

I will post pictures of them tomorrow.
