Harry Potter Land & Disney Dining Here We Come!-Pre Trip Report

[amystevekai&bump]

lol yes it is. I think Chef Mickeys breakfast from pictures ive seen looks delicious and yes we will get to look at the BLT DVC.

Do the tour at SSR and I think you get $100 gift card.

I was going on about bf needing new flip flops and then on about buying bread to make toast for breakfast bf said you do realise we are going next year and not next week.

I had a phone call from Florida this afternoon - they are going to send me the DVC info pack - I just don't know how I am going to resist buying before next year!! (especially as she tried to tell me that BLT was selling very quickly!!)

I know all about men not understanding!! - it's exactly the same in our house - Steve (DH) doesn't GET that I need to decide where I am having breakfast, lunch and tea, 18 months in advance!! I try to tell him that I need to work out whether the dining plan is gonna work and that its important in terms of adrs - and he just glazes over and shakes his head!!! (oh well at least we have the Dis - peole that really understand the need to plan!!)

Yeah that's true. He's very good when it comes to planning other things like looking for houses and for our future if not to much lol. Haha ill put up with it seeming he is the neat freak and does all the cleaning etc.

Ok haven't been about for a few months as Ive been very depressed because I had to cancel the holiday and I seriously could not come to terms with it. To say I was devastated is an understatement however finally through all the recession im hopeful that I should now have a full time job rather than just my casual work at Manchester United and hopefully if this full time work pulls through then its a good enough salary that with months of saving I can afford to put together a trip to the mouse next year still. So fingers crossed and pixie dust that I get this job because I can't bare the thought of having to remove my ticker.

Sending you lots of pixie dust and wishing you every success on the job front.

Remember it is just a holiday, I know it is nice, but the main things in life are all your loved ones being healthy. If I am down I just pick up a newspaper and always see people worse off than me.

 

[amystevekai&bump]

Oh I am so sorry to hear that, I must admit I had wondered where you had been lately! - I will keep all my fingers and toes crossed for you on the job front and am sending you an extra specially big - let us know how you get on & take care xxx

 

[jackieleanne]

Thanks to both of you. I have my fingers and crossed for this one as I was the only one being interviewed etc and got good vibes.

 

[gemmybear83]

Good luck with job I was wondering where you had got too - I always enjoyed your posts

 

[jackieleanne]

Thanks Gemma. and thank you all for the pixie dust it worked because I got the job and I start on the 23rd November can't wait. Now off to work out my budget and see what we can afford its actually looking cheaper at the moment due to high flight prices that its cheaper to book a package direct with Disney that ok see how much Tesco virgin vouchers we can save.

So happy.

 

[wicket2005]

Yay all hail the power of the pixie dust. Well done and so pleased for you.

 

[amystevekai&bump]

hooray that is fantastic news!!! So pleased for you, hope to hear some good news on the holiday front really soon too then!!!

Update on the trip front.

Hotel & Ticket Disney UK - SSR with free dining is coming to £1870. plus quidco cashback should be £82 pounds back.

Flights. Virgin miles plus money but would be leaving on 29th August is £418 each plus 2000 miles each thinking of doing this rather than the £489 each price im getting for flying on 26th August.

Other than that would just do the 2 day Universal ticket we plan on using disney buses.

Yay I am so glad you are still going and that you got the job congratulations

we are staying at SSR for the 2nd time in Sept 2010

 

[jackieleanne]

Thanks Leanne. Been reading your trip report. Its a great deal they have for SSR and I love the fact its so close to DTD.

 

[tinks_1989]

It really is a lovely resort If you can ring and request congress park it was so lovely to be that close to DTD and if you had been to another Hotel or boardwalk the DTD bus stop is just as close to Congress park which was really nice

We have asked for congress park and with a view of DTD I am so excited I am like you wishing the months away lol

 

[jackieleanne]

Will try do that. I really cant wait so excited.

Congratulations on your new job and on your trip report! I myself have 20 years old and I'm planning on converting my DBF in a Disney Fan, so I was planning a couple trip by the time of Halloween (2010 or 2011). Keep us update! May be one day I'll PM asking you for some advice because it would be my first WDW "planning by myself" trip!!
Have you rebooked your trip??
P.s. I now realise that I've read your trip report of 2008!!! It was a great trip!

Sorry for OTing on your Pre-Trip

 

[jackieleanne]

No need to apologise Leanne its Disney related and haha I know all about converting boyfriends I converted my bf on that 2008 trip too.

Ask away not booked yet I have to wait for bf to get back from Poland with work (tonight) and then ill bombard him with everything saying that he has been getting messages from me everyday saying about it. If you have any questions at all feel free to ask I did my work experience for Thomas Cook years ago its what I used to want to do.
