Cast

Me (Jen) 28, totally mad about WDW
Dh (Alex) 26, likes WDW but says he only goes to keep me happy!

This will my 6th trip and Alex's 4th, we bought into DVC last year so I'm sure there will be plenty more to come as well.

I booked our home resort SSR when the 11 month window opened last year and then in January changed it to BCV. We looked round the Beach Club last year and loved it so I am soooo excited that we are going to be staying there.

We are going on the 5th August, we originally booked for 15 nights but then decided to add another night on so now we are staying till the 21st. We had booked Virgin flights with Dial a flight but when I rang to change the day of our return they wanted to put the price up by loads so in the end I cancelled and booked a fly drive with Virgin, I don't thin we will take the car though.

Our itinerary is:

4th August - stay at Gatwick hotel, haven't booked this yet but hopefully will soon.
5th - fly, get to BCV and relax.
6th - Magic Kingdom, lunch at Crystal Palace.
7th - Epcot
8th - Animal Kingdom
9th - Typhoon Lagoon
10th - Hollywood Studios
11th - IOA
12th - Blizzard Beach, dinner at California Grill
13th - Seaworld
14th - Aquatica
15th - Shopping, MK in the eve for EMH, dinner at Crystal Palace
16th - Free day
17th - Universal or Seaworld
18th - Animal Kingdom, lunch at RFC
19th - Aquatica, dinner at Boma
20th - Epcot or MK, Illuminations cruise in the evening
21st - Get rid of bags at DTD, then off to TL, go home

I do a plan every year, we usually stick to it for the first week and then change bits around. We only make a few ADRs before we go as we don't like to be too tied to anything, we usually make a few more once there.

I still need to book ME or transfers, not sure which we will use, book the hotel and buy a new suitcase.

So now its 68 days to go and I can't wait!!
