This trip we have decided to go on the Disney cruise, Dream. I blame Wayne; as well as Mandy for their trip reports
Cast
Me: Rachel love all things Disney and wouldn't save for any other holiday
DH: Kevin who also loves Disney, well he must do as we have been since 1991!
DD: Lauren who has been brought up with Disney so she doesn't know any better
DDBF: Shane, Lauren's boyfriend. We took him in 2010 and he now knows why we love it in WDW
We go at the end August and we always try and do something different each time we go, and this time we are definitely doing something new
Night before we are staying in the Travelodge which is a first for us but we have booked two rooms for less than £30 for the two, it was a no brainer. We are now deciding whether to drive two cars or to get the coach. We will also probably eat at Giraffe the night before as we liked it last year, as well as a few piña coladas for me update we are going on the train. First Great Western have a gatwick flyaway ticket which will cost us £60 for the 4 adults so ed are doing that as the train station is 5 minutes from the house.
On the day of the flight we will go in the No 1 lounge as we have been in this lounge for the last few years and it is great to relax before hand. Plus we always take a few cans with us onto the plane as it takes ages before we can get a drink.
Flight is with Virgin who we usually fly with, by the way we are going from Gatwick. 11.15 am flight.
When we arrive we are going to All Star Movies for a few nights. We have booked preferred rooms, as we really want to go in either toy story or 101 dalmatians. We booked about a month ago with a really good deal. I paid £124 for 2 nights so was really pleased with that.
We are not going to the parks on first few days. In fact we are going shopping on 1st September, I understand there is a sale this weekend so I am happy shopping is my favourite hobby and I love to shop at the outlets in Florida. I am particularly looking for a new Dooney handbag and Yankee candles.
On 2nd September we are going on the Disney Dream cruise, which is a first for us. Very excited about this. We are on a 4 night cruise around the Bahamas. We are also renewing our wedding vows which I think will happen on the day we get to Nassau Celebrating 22 years but it could have only been 5 years as I just wanted the excuse to do this. Again because of these boards I decided to do this renewal is on 3rd. September at 4.00pm
On 6th September we are then heading to Saratoga Springs Resort which we love. We have stayed here now for the last 3 years and we love it as it is relaxing. We have booked a 2 bed villa and hope to be in Congress Park as we like to look over at DTD
We are going to all the Disney parks including the water parks. We are also going to MNSSHP as we think it will be on whilst we are are there
We are on the dining plan and here are our bookings
Ohanas for dinner
Bistro de France for dinner. Update this is being refurbed so we are now eating at Ragland Road
Sci-fi diner
Yak and Yeti
Grand Floridian Cafe for dinner
Rainforest Cafe for lunch
Tep Enedo for dinner
We have also booked the GF garden tea as this is Lauren's fav thing to do as well as Ohanas for breakfast and Chef Mickeys but we might cancel the last one. We have also booked crystal palace for the last morning breakfast
So that is it all summed up and we can't wait.
I will post some of the Disney vow renewal bits that we are putting together at some point.
I will add some photos of our last trips shortly as I can't work out how do to if for the ipad
