Jade I do love my iPad just annoys me if I have to type on it for a long period of time! Definitely download the Touring Plans Lines app if/when you get one, I have gotten some great info already from there and can't wait to use it in the parks. Also Undercover Tourist have apps for WDW and Universal.

Welcome home WAMUMOF4

Off to research this Body Glide you are all speaking of

Hi Everyone,

Arrived in Shelbyville, Kentucky to see our friends before we head off to Orlando for the busy part of our Holiday. But, just thought I would reminder all travellers on V Australia that if you have ordered a kids meal or special meal double/triple check even check again at check-in to make sure it is on board..... Poor DD14 did not get her meal - and you don't want to sit next to her when she doesn't eat ..... With no Breakfast, no Lunch - made the flight a loooong flight.....

For those about to depart Aus - Bon Voyage and Safe Journey.

Welcome back WAMUMOF4 - can't wait to read your trip report hopefully while I'm at DW...

We have a couple of hours until we head to the airport. It was a late one last night, but I think we are finally organised. Just have to do a quick clean around the house.

Hellosue, glad you arrived safely. V Australia stuffed up our kids meals too. We got them going over but not coming home, and they had the nerve to tell me that I had not ordered them. Here's hoping Air NZ do a better job. I have plenty of snacks just in case. This is my first time trying a gluten free airline meal.

Thank you all for the iPad advice. I wish I had not run out of time yesterday as I did not get near the shops.

Have a great time Jade!!!!!

 

[Franrose]

Crikey. We will be on a plane with at least 35 kids (in our group alone!) so here's hoping there are no meals forgotten or it's going to be a mighty uncomfortable flight lol!

Have an awesome time Jade!

 

[Busy Busy]

Have a great time Jade, keep an eye out for the tall family!!

Sue, glad you made it and looking forward to hearing all about it, also thanks to everybody about the vaustralia kids meal info. I'm making a call TODAY!

7 sleeps!

 

[australiankaren]

thanks for the reminder

I have a lactose free meal, cant have dairy so it better be on board otherwise this aussie girl will be very "unhappy" .....although I could always pig out on chips and wine I guess

fingers crossed we all get what we ordered

 

[WAMUMOF4]

Thanks for the welcome home everyone Trip Report what was that I am not sure that i know what they are

Jade+3 have a fantastic trip and a safe flight

Hello Sue enjoy DW and really you don't want to read my thoughts on it before you arrive i will say we drank the water and didn't think it had a taste and don't forget you can get ice water from the counters of Quick service places was a lot easier than carrying bottles around.

Forgot to add we had no problems with our gluten free meals from Qantas.

 

[Busy Busy]

That's true Karen, I forgot about the constant food in premium economy. I suppose that docs can't get me if I feed the kids chips & coke the whole way to LA - I'll be over international waters!

I would prefer the actual meals that I have ordered though!

 

[Busy Busy]

Franrose, are you and your 35 kids flying VAustralia next Friday the 16th?

Franrose, are you and your 35 kids flying VAustralia next Friday the 16th?

 

[Franrose]

Snort! Yes, but don't panic, remember I'm in Bris!

 

[Franrose]

That might be a conservative estimate too... The group is almost 90 people. We'd be one of those love-to-hate mobs except they're all pretty good kids, most of their time at Disney is tied up in performances and workshops, and we (my family) will be doing our own thing 99% of the time anyway.

Just popping in to say a quick hi, as I am buggered. The flight was good, everyone received their special meal requests. DH was envious of my gluten free meals as they were nicer than the regular meals. But, OMG my 2 year old was an absolute horror, and we still have 5 flights to go. He is now saying he wants to go home.

 

[Travel Mum]

Lovely to hear from you Jade - thanks for thinking of us and hope your holiday is wonderful!!

Who DH or the two year old?

There is not much fun in long haul flights is there!

 

[Busy Busy]

Wow Jade, fab to hear from you. As for your DS - it's over now and things HAVE to get better (I hope)!!!

Enjoy your non-flying time with him!

 

[Busy Busy]

Franrose, do you fly down to Sydney and catch VA1?

I realize that I sound like I'm worried - I'm truly not! It struck me that it would be crazy for you to be on the flight too - Bondgirl and I are already on board - so I was going to welcome you to the party!

Besides, how do you know that my 2 kids are going to be any less trouble than your 35?!
