well this isnt going to be long because when i went i never knew there was any disney forums! if i had of none i would have written down everything!
so here it goes!
on may the 6th me and my family set off around 6am and travelled to sunny old manchester where we checked in for thomsonfly flight by194a.when we got inside terminal 2,it was packed the thomsonfly economy class checkin was almost out the door! but lucky for us we were in thomsonfly premium and we were second in the que!
we landed at sanford at around 3.30pm local time and qued up for customs and immagration,after the long wait we got the rental car and drove to out hotel which was the howard johnson maingate east in kissemme.we managed to find the hotel pretty easy! now heres the funny part,that night we thought we would explore the place so we went for a drive down I.drive at around 9pm,we stopped off at maccies and then carried on to look at I.drive and all the attractions. after maccies we decided we would go to the upside down(i cant remember the name ) when we left the uside down house at around 12am we got lost on the journey back to the hotel!! we must have stopped about four times at petrol sations to ask for directions,but we still couldnt find it! so we saw the sheriffs car parked in a petrol sation,so we rolled down the window and asked him if he knew where our hotel was........his reply........dont know .eventually we got back at 2.00am,it took us 2 hours to get from
I.drive!
the rest of the holiday was very uneventful,apart from my birthday!! we did the following parks and attractions
magic kingdom
animal kingdom
epcot
mgm studios
blizzard beach
typhoon lagoon
wet'n'wild
universal studios
islands of adventure
upside down house
5xmini golfs
ripleys believe it or not
my birthday was on the sunday and we went to planet hollywood!!
on the monday we went on a excursion booked through keith prouse,we were picked up pretty early and put into a little van with about 9 other people,and headed to clearwatwater beach! what we were told by KP was that we were going to have a buffet lunch in a nearby restaurant,little did we know it was the hilton clearwater!! . the hilton was our base for the day we could use there facilities and swimming pool,we even used there part of the beach!!we then went on a dolphin tour out in the gulf of mexico(which is the best place on earth,its hard to believe something so beautyful can cause so much death and destruction!) we must have seen around 20 dolphins andthey were beautiful!! they were jumping by the boat!
we eat in the following places;
ponderosa
las vegas buffet
logans
dunkin donuts
pizza hut
mcdonalds
kfc
shoneys
ihop
a fast food place in the magic kingdom where they had a talking robot?
*there was more but i cant think!
the rest of the time was pretty much the same,we did all the parks and shopping!
on the last day we set off for the airport at about 11am to catch the 6pm flight,on the journey we something happened which could have turned out real nasty!!
we were driving along when something big hit the window,it was a tyre!we were very lucky my dad managed to control the car! and it not smash the window,further up the road was a big truck pulled over with a wheel missing!
when we dropped of the rental car we then headed for the thomsonfly(brittania) check-in,there was a very helpful woman who was standing and talking to all premium passengers,she told us about the guest house and gave us a leaflet,but we didnt really think about it at the time! the man checking us in was super nice he let us off with a few kilos .we then headed upstairs and and went to the shop and got a bite to eat,by the time we had done everything we could do in the terminal it was only 2.30pm we had 3 1/2 hours until the flight so saw that helpful lady from check-in and asked her where is the guest house!,and she told us so we went and had a great and relaxing time in there! the flight was called and we boarded,the night flight back to manchester was very bumpy,when we took off from sanford we were being shaken about somthing rotten! the fasten seat belt sign was on for 45mins!! i tuned in thomsonflies premium P.T.V'S which were good! i went right to the back off the plane to have a look at the conditions of economy! they were awful(dont travel thonsonfly economy)it was so cramped!
we landed in manchester at around 7.30am!
and that was my holiday i hoped you enjoy it sorry it wasnt detailed! it will be next time i promise!
