Morning All
I never get through an actual day to day trippie so i thought I would do an all in one.
So here it goes
Cast
Me Anna 25
Chris 28
Mum 60
Dad 60
Jordan 14
Joely 8
Ok so we flew from Manchester on the 28th November with Virgin Premium economy, I must admit we sat upstairs and it was very nice, though the tv didnt work for my chair but that was ok as watching the tv on board makes me travel sick lol. The cabin crew were lovely and made a great fuss of both Jordan and Joely. The flight went smoothly and went by quiet quickly for me, though Joely did ask every hour if we were nearly there yet!!!
I was very relieved that Jordans wheelchair was waiting at the door for us, as she has gotten to be quiet heavy though she is still only the height of a six year old. Everything was going great till customs! and guess what Chris got pulled into that little room again, which didnt make sence as we went throughthe international in September and they let him straight through. So this time it takes an hour and forty five minutes of us sitting on the side of the baggage carousel waiting for him, with me getting quiet teary unfortunatly and the kids getting ratty. They did eventually let me go sit with him. And it was the same old thing someone with his name was deported, I explained it happens every time, and they said they have now sorted it so it doesnt happen again, I will believe that if he gets through Sanford without problem in January.
But with that over its off to the villa, we have two big seven seater 4 by 4s so its easier to fit everything in. The vlla was on Highgate Park which is part of Legacy Park. A lovely place where we have already booked to stay next October. The girls were straight into the pool while we unpacked.
So next to the highs and lows
Highs
Virgin to Orlando
MVMCP
Cinderella Castle Breakfast
Busch Gardens
Universal both parks
Shopping!!
Lows
Return flight to Manchester
Epcot
MGM
1900 Park Fayre Evening Meal
I have to say the worst meal was at 1900 park fayre, we went to try it out as we had booked it for our rehearsal meal for the night before the wedding. Well we have now cancelled it as the food was awfull, and cold to boot, what used to be the best meal on site has gone to the worst. there wasnt the choice of food there used to be, and no chicken strips or nuggets for the girls as they had run out!! so just piza which unfortunatly Jordan isnt allowed as she cant have cheese. The characters were great though.
The girls loved both busch gardens and the Universal parks (it was their first trips to all three) I didnt think they would go on all those coasters but they did EVERY one of them, while I sat and watched lol.
Now onto Jordan, she adorded the whole Disney experiance, I have never seen her smile so much, and couldnt count how many times she said mouse or beast! she had a ball. She met every character she could, and they were all brilliant with her including Pinochio running off with her in her chair. Even when we watched the MVMCP parade every character came up to her, and the ones on the floats managed to pick her out and she got a kiss blowed from Santa to which she said "hohoho" which is something she has never said before.
We went to Cinderellas Royal table for breakfast and the Cinderella there was wonderful, we saw her three more times during the stay all the same Cinderella and she remembered they girls which they thought was amazing.
I can honestly it made the magic of Disney so real seeing it through the girls eyes.
Ha and we went to hooters can you beleive!! not with the girls just me and Chris. I wasnt happy to go, but I really enjoyed it when I got there the food was lovely and the girl who served us was really nice (though how she got into those shorts I will never know!)
The shopping was brilliant, and twelve cases returned home with us!!!
I shopped at yankee candle of course lol, I got some lovely new smells! such as black cherry which is quiet strong.
Got some lovely new outdoor lights.
Jordan bought 40 bratz can you believe!! so I spent the last day hunting bratz feet around the villa
and Joely went mad for littlest pet shop, which at least was easy to pack
The flight home was less great unfortunatly, check in at Downtown disney was ghastly. they tried to put us all downstairs because of Jordans wheelchair even though I had sent a fax in to say she was ok to sit upstairs and that we had already booked into the upstairs seats, after an hour arguing, I produced the fax and we got the seats we weremeant to. I found the check in staff very off, especially when one said Jordan shouldnt have a whellchair as at that point she was walking, I asked if she was a doctor, she said no, I told her not to comment on things she didnt know then, and explained Jordan has brittle bones, and her hips are twisting to the point where she will not be able to move her lower body at all. Yes she can walk around the house and school but she cant do distance. I lodged a complaint as she was so off about it.
So there you go lol highs and lows, if theres anything else you wanna know let me know

Such a shame Epcot is on your lows list, that is one of my favourite parks.
