Sounds like a great trip Joh.
Wouldn't worry about hitting 40, I'd be quite happy to be that age again

You're not wrong Eloise - you should see Gary when he gets goingYour trip sounds absolutely amazing! Can't wait to read more![]()
It's always the most sweet angelic looking ones who have the inner Stitch in them![]()
You are so naughty Mr B. I will be sure to write up my trip report extra quick so you can get all the ideas you need.Yay, looking forward to this one. I'll hoping for lots of tips too.![]()
Can't blame me for this one, it's all your own work.
But I've been thinking...............![]()
Thanks Lesley but I am very worried about it. I know it is inevitable but it doesn't make it any easier. Still, I have a little while to go yet.Sounds like a great trip Joh.

Feel free to pop over Linda - it's a long way to go for just a drink though, you may have to stay for longerWow Joh, what can I say?
This looks like an amazing trip
Love the photo of you all on the Magic
Can't believe you are going to dinner with Karin & Tom as well, can I just pop over for a quick drink!!
Gary came up with the title. I just forgot to add Fred and Wilma in - have edited the title to show that Fred and Wilma are still alive and kicking![]()
We are hoping it will be. Thanks for reading alongLooks like an amazing trip!![]()
I think I would love to spend my 40th at WDW. Unfortunately, though, my husband has other ideas and is threatening to take me ski-ingReally looking forward to reading your PTR, i've loved reading your other reports. sounds like you've got an amazing trip planned. i turned 40 in WDW last year, we ate at CRT in the morning and spent the day in Magic Kingdom and the night at Epcot to watch Illuminations. it was a wonderful way to turn 40, i'll be 41 this week but i think the Disney magic worked and i don't feel any older at all!!!
Thanks Lauren, I'm really looking forward to it.Sounds like an amazing trip Joh!![]()
Shame we won't be at the same place at the same time. Do say 'hi' if you happen to see us around the parks though, won't youLooks like a fantastic trip you've got planned there, we miss you by a day or two at Royal Pacific and then again at the Beach Club!
I'm looking at a similar trip next year for my 40th birthday, so will be interested to see your experiences!![]()
Thanks Elaine, it is getting closer now and I'm so excited.Your trip sounds wonderful.![]()
Absolutely Andrea. One thing that really surprised me is how long it's going to take us to drive from the Keys up to Bradenton. I was thinking it would be 3 or 4 hours but, in reality, it is likely to take most of the day. We forget how huge a place Florida is and there is so much more than just Orlando.It all sounds good to me, sometimes we forget that there is much more to Florida than the delights of Orlando, good for you to get about and see more![]()
Thanks Jodie. I am definitely keeping my fingers crossed. Hopefully, without having to keep to a 'set-in-stone' itinerary and without an audience to play up to, he might be better. I am planning to take him to the Doctor before our trip to try and get something for his heat rash, if it flares up again, which might mean he sleeps a bit better this time too.All sounds fab Joh. Fingers crossed Daniel behaves at least a little better.
This is the kind of trip we said we would have once DS was grown up and left home - but we couldn't wait any longer, we are so desperate to see the KeysHave a fab time
Your plans remind me very much of the trips we used to do before we had DD.
We keep saying when she is older we will venture further afield in Florida again. Will watch with interest how your son likes all the different places.
Hey there Brenda, thanks for popping in. Is it your whole family travelling in August or just you and Em?What a glorious 3 week holiday itinerary! Sounds like a wonderful plan! My DH would love to go to the Keys and do some fishing. I'll have to follow along and see if our paths connect while we are at WDW at the same time.![]()
Thanks Sam, can't believe how close it is getting and I don't feel as organised as I should.Ha-ha loving the way you got this trip in the bag Joh!
I wanted to add that I love the way you are doing this trip, the Keys, West Coast etc...and I'm going to look forward to the recaps.
Eeeeeeee!
Isn't that the truth! My DH is the same way. They really need to just realize from the start that it's going to happen and not put up a fight!!He most dreads the words Ive been thinking, which usually precede me begging him to agree to take another trip to Orlando.
