Hi everyone,

We are back from the best holiday/honeymoon EVER!

Very upset that we won't be going for a few years :sad1:

High's

Saratoga Springs
Again we just loved the hotel. We got our room request in Congress park on the 2nd floor over looking a garden area near the pool. The main pool was lovely and spent quiet a few afternoons there.

Weather Beautiful lovely sunshine had rain total of 3 times I think?! but was very hot and I miss it already back to the rain! We have gone from air condition room to heating :eek:

Shopping Probably spent a bit too much but really enjoyed it! Florida mall, mall at Millennia, premium outlets, Orlando outlets, DTD and even Walmart.

Crowds Wait times Crowds were pleasing only time we thought it was busy was when the fireworks finished and trying to get on the buses. Can really comment on wait times as I couldn't go on a lot but I did notice TOT was 20 minutes, Simpsons was a walk on when Dave went on!

Wishes I never really seen the hype of wishes I don't know if its the hormones but I just loved it I cried so much on our last night watching it I bought the cd I just love the soundtrack

Lows

Unfortunately there are some!

Universal Studios/ Island of adventure I fainted at Universal Studios and Dave called for help to a member of staff they looked at him and walked off and didn't return luckily 2 men helped Dave I was very upset and jsut wanted to leave.

Wizzarding World of Harry Potter thought it was very small the shops were very small just very underwhelmed maybe if I could have gone on the ride I would have been more impressed! I was impressed by Hog warts it looked amazing

Disney Transport Not every time we were very lucky especially late at night but going to Animal Kingdom was terrible we waited 40 minutes for a bus back and the bus then took another 50 minutes to get us back!

I did take notes from every where we ate but no Pictures of food I'm pregnant and always hungry not waiting to take a picture of it :rotfl:

Well thanks guys for helping with planning we are hoping to go back in 5 years so I will be reading all your plans to keep me entertained
 
Sounds like the same area we were in at Congress Park- we loved it too.

Not impressed with how you were treated at Universal, that is disgusting!
 
Awww hun glad you had a great time.

I can't believe how Universal treated you that's disgusting! :hug: I hope that you have put a formal complaint in I would.
 
welcome back :goodvibes
 

Glad you had a great time, and loved Saratoga.

Cannot believe the way the staff treated you - I would put in a complaint :goodvibes
 
Welcome home sounds like you had a great time apart from Universal, thats not good at all.
I have not read HP books and only seen the 1st film so no fan of HP but loved what Universal have done, I don't see how its possible to make bigger shops but keep them within the theming, August was the 1st time in my life I have queued to get in a shop:rotfl2:
 
glad you had a great time, but not good that you fainted :( hope you are ok now, put your feet up,x
 
Nice to hear you've enjoyed yourselves :)

I cannot believe the staff at Universal treated you in that way, I hope your DH put in a complaint.

You'll be surprised, but shockingly enough, 5 years will fly, you'll be back before you know it :goodvibes
 
Glad you had a fantastic time Leanne, hope you do a trip report!

So sorry about Universal, I agree with others you should lodge a complaint. Just to make sure this does not happen to others.

Just think your next trip will be much more magical with a little one :goodvibes
 
Thanks every one! I haven't put in a complaint to Universal yet every one has told me I should I hate complaining especially when it's about such a lovely holiday!

I hope to do a TR once I have arranged photos I will start
 
Welcome back Leanne. Glad you had a good time! :goodvibes

Wishes I never really seen the hype of wishes I don't know if its the hormones but I just loved it I cried so much on our last night watching it I bought the cd I just love the soundtrack

:rotfl: I was exactly the same on our last night, although I'm not pregnant so I haven't got an excuse like you!

I'm kicking myself for not buying the soundtrack. :(

Universal Studios/ Island of adventure I fainted at Universal Studios and Dave called for help to a member of staff they looked at him and walked off and didn't return luckily 2 men helped Dave I was very upset and jsut wanted to leave.

:mad: That's terrible! I wasn't impressed with the staff at Universal either.

Disney Transport Not every time we were very lucky especially late at night but going to Animal Kingdom was terrible we waited 40 minutes for a bus back and the bus then took another 50 minutes to get us back!

50 minutes?! :scared1:

It took us just over 10 minutes to get back to SSR from AK one night (he must've gone a secret way!).
 
Thanks every one! I haven't put in a complaint to Universal yet every one has told me I should I hate complaining especially when it's about such a lovely holiday!

I hope to do a TR once I have arranged photos I will start

Welcome home - I for one am looking forward to the trippie and seeing some pics.
Did Dizzy behave himself :goodvibes
 
Can't believe Dizzy ever mis-behaves:rotfl:

Oh you would be surprised. We have a video of what he got up to in France earlier this year but we have refrained from posting it online in case any of his younger 'friends' got to see it :scared1:
 
Glad most of your trip was Fab :thumbsup2 Sorry to hear of your experience at Universal, my DD knocked herself out at BG a few year's ago after coming off the rapids, no one was interested :sad2:

Love Wishes too, I have it as my ringtone :goodvibes Looking forward to reading your trip report :thumbsup2
