Doin' The Disney Dance...

[Freckleflower]

Hi all, welcome to my PTR for my first ever trip to WDW

Who is going…​

Myself – Victoria 23
My Fiancée- Ian 26

Both of us are working hard to save for WDW, lots of saving and no spending till we go

Ian has been many times to WDW when he was a kid and we will be celebrating his 27th Birthday over there. I have never been before this will be my first time and I am SUPER excited.


When we are going…

We have booked the holiday and we will leave Manchester Airport on Friday 12th of October for the World of Magic. I’m a tad scared of the insanely long flight that we will have to endure I’ve never been on a flight so long. Once I get there I will be fine.


Where we are staying…

Pop Century!!
We decided on a budget resort this time round hopefully one day we will stay in AKL when we have super good jobs and can afford it.


Here, there and everywhere…

We have decided which parks we are going to enjoy each day.

So we couldn’t not go and see this on our first real day.

I have made an Excel Spreadsheet with all the things we are looking to be doing. I’ll post that when it’s all finished. There is still room for more changes to be made on it.

Feeding our faces…

After MONTHS of looking and reading reviews of all the different places to eat, we have decided. Well we haven’t fully decided about Princess Storybook Dining at Akershus 12:30pm and Ohana 5pm because we don’t know what day MNSSHP is actually on yet, so we will cancel two whichever day it’s on.

Today while I was at working reeeeeally hard Ian was in charge of booking our ADR’s as it was the 190 days. We tried to do it yesterday but our account wasn’t linking up with our reference number, Ian was getting very frustrated. But today it’s all booked so he’s a very happy man!

Wed 24th – Flight home

We decided for our last night to make it extra special we are going to have our dinner at California Grill, hopefully (fingers crossed) with a nice window seat to see the sunset and watch Wishes for the last time

Nibbling…

Our next plan of action is to take some notes of snacks that we HAVE to try. Ian is a lover of trying new things and likes to force me to, which I’m grateful for actually as I’ve found loads of food that I would never have liked before or even tried. Any recommendations?


Things to look into...

Photopass or photopass +
Food and Wine snack crawl
ESTA's

I can't think of anymore just now, I'm sure I'll come up with some others.


That’s all for now I guess. Thank you for reading!

Vicky and Ian ​
