Pre-trip planning report

[mickeyforpresident]

So, this is my first attempt at a pre-trip report.

THE CAST:-
Me - 36
DW - 40 (sore point, but very funny!!)
DS - 11 - still excited about going!!
DS - 4 - can't quite understand that it's ages 'til August.

The holiday will begin on the 31st August. We're checked in to a family suite at the SAS Raddisson. We're going to walk around the airport and then check out the viewing park. Then off for tea with DW's parents at The Trafford Centre. We've booked breakfast too and plan to check in really early in the hope of getting extra leg room seats (not the exit ones, the ones you can buy!!!)

We fly Economy (saving money from our Upper Class experience to Washington DC - it will be so hard turning right!!!!) from Manchester with Virgin.

We're staying 2 weeks at the Grand Floridian (which I know is not to everyone's taste, but you've got to love that Monorail!!!)

We've got free dining (which we've never done before so). I'm ashamed to say that the whole holiday is centering around food. We've been on diets since January, so this is our chance to put on the pounds again!!! We've got ADRs for the following:-

Crystal Palace Breakfast (8:15am)
Narcoosees (7:55pm)

Le Cellier (7:15pm)

Hoop-de-hoop Review (7:15pm)
(lunch @ Beaches and Cream - but can't book this!!)

Hollywood and Vine Buffet (4:35pm)
(Fantasmic dinner package)

Citricos (6:20pm)

Yak and Yeti (6:30pm)

Mexico (San Angel?) 7pm

Liberty Tree Tavern 6:15pm

Sci-fi Diner 7pm

I think this is it!!!

I CAN'T WAIT!!!!
