Thanks for reading too!! :)
 
subscribing... :) :) excited for you!!! (sorry im really tired so i dont know if i am making sense right now)
 

3 MONTHS TODAY...

...Me and Els will be on our way to Manchester Airport to check into our airport hotel :cool1: I can't believe how much time has flown - I'm so excited!!! :goodvibes

I have a lot of planning things I'd like to post, but I'm afraid you'll have to bear with me as my final university exams are coming up in 2 weeks and I have to study :(. However once they are over, there will only be 2 months until our vacation :thumbsup2
 
Hi Eeyore. Your TR is great so far. We will be there in the same time frame, except we are backwards from you. We are in WDW for 10 days - the first 5 at Pop and then the last five off-site. What time are your ADR's for Lecellier? We have 5:00pm on the same day:thumbsup2 You are going to LOVE Sea World. We plan on Doing that the Monday after we leave POP. We have a DS celebrating his 4th Birthday while we are there who just loves animals, so this is a must do for us. DH wants to do the shark dive. Let us know how DBF likes it. Maybe he can do it next year, after I make sure to up his life insurance:rotfl: Can't wait to hear more.

How wonderful to get to take a "Dream" VAcation. And since it is during the year of million dreams, I hope you win something while you're there.

Hi! I believe our Le Cellier ADR is 7.30pm - we might just catch you! Say hi if you see us!

I will be sure to let you know how the shark dive goes - I'll get DBF to write a report on that! :thumbsup2

That is SUCH a nice thing to say - thank you! :goodvibes
 
Update!!

Here is another update for you guys! Thanks for staying on and reading!

Well, as you guys know I ordered the Pirate and Princess Tickets - they arrived yesterday! I was so excited! I thought I was meant to sign for them, but the delivery man left them in the porch! Ah well, I got them safely. The designs are soooo cute! We got the Seven Dwarves one and the Mickey and pals one (I will post photos of all tickets and items in a future update). Els called the Dwarves one which I was VERY happy about since I really wanted the Mickey one :teeth:

I have also made a major change to our itinerary! I have just been REALLY spontaneous (and possibly very naughty!) and booked a one night stay at Universal's Royal Pacific Resort! I am so excited! I think this hotel is gorgeous and I can't wait to use the FOTL access! I just need to add my LoewsFirst number so I can get my beer and nuts :) The Universal Board Peeps have been amazing with information, so thank you very much!!

Now, we are meant to go to Busch Gardens on the 10th - but we may be tired after US/IOA in 2 days so I think I might have to rearrange that to a later date, but it's no big problem to edit the shuttle information.

COMING SOON:

The Revised Itinerary - The One with the new hotel
The Booty - The One with all the tickets
The Outfits - The One with the PPP Outfits
 
Apologies that the photos are a little blurry - I took them with a camera phone.

These are nearly all the tickets we have so far (the WDW ones aren't there as they are coming with our Vacation tickets)

Our Universal Tickets! They are 3 Park/5 Day tickets for Universal, Islands of Adventure and Wet'n'Wild. As you know, we are now also staying a night at Universal's Royal Pacific Hotel so we will have FOTL access for 2 of those days - we are so excited and can't wait! It will be so lovely not to have to queue a lot for the rides!

image206ec6.jpg

VERY exciting tickets! These are our DISCOVERY COVE tickets! :teeth: They are both swimmers plus and we are very much looking forward to swimming with the dolphins as well as to the whole day. They also have 14 day passes to SeaWorld and Busch Gardens :) I've sorted the Busch Gardens shuttle out for us, and also a few activites in SW as you'll see in a second...

image207ju0.jpg

I've got my Orlando Magicard ready and waiting! Just in case it'll come in handy for some discounts whilst we're on International Drive :)

image208rg9.jpg

This is my Pirate and Princess Party Ticket! I think I got the cutest of the pair! I love it, and I hope I get to keep it after the party!

image209fv4.jpg

Els' Pirate and Princess Party Ticket - he wanted this one! I think it's really cute the way they're all on Splash Mountain!

image211gu7.jpg

One of our SeaWorld treats :) We're doing the Makahiki Luau and we're so excited! We've never been to a Luau before so we're really looking forward - I think we'll miss the Shamu night show, but we are planning on going another night so we can catch it then.

image212dt6.jpg

Els' personal favourite ;) He can't wait to do this one! I got him this as a present for his 24th birthday. His birthday is on 26th June, but he doesn't mind waiting a few weeks for it!
 
UPDATED! UPDATED!

I just ordered my PPP Tickets online for the 24th August party! I can't wait :teeth: Hopefully I will have them in my hot little hands in a week or so!

Hi Haley! I have loved reading your report so far :) Eeyore is my fav. too...I collect the Eeyore MBBP :eeyore:(and sell some of them on ebay). You seem to be a crazy planner like myself!! Although I am more your DBF's age (I just turned 24) my own DBF is 22---so more your age :P With the PPP, you will have to post if you two have fun. I am debating whether or not to book it for the two of us when we go. When I read the description, I can't picture the two of us hunting for treasures with all of the 10 year olds pirate: (Although when I went last I was often the ONLY older person w/o kids in line for all of the characters! lol!) So I definitely look forward to your full report! As well as all of your planning!

Oh! And we are staying 5 nights at the RPR so excited to see what you think of that :)

You are so lucky with your great exchange rate! I have a friend/Eeyore trading partner in Derbyshire who came last year for a whole month! She bought TONS and TONS of stuff at Disney World & shipped most of it back :P
 
WOW!!, I'm exhausted just reading what you have planned :rotfl: , certainly sounds like one fab holiday :banana: :banana: , your going to need a month off after to recover ;) , I thought I'd done lots of planning for our upcoming trip!! . Hope you have a fantastic trip :goodvibes

Wow - thank you for the long post! I love long posts :thumbsup2 I absolutely love Eeyore! I am so psyched for the Crystal Palace breakfast! Please pardon the dumb question, but what is MBBP? I have loads of Eeyore stuff at home, and hopefully will get some more in WDW - gotta love that exchange rate, I already changed nearly $900 ;) I'm getting very excited now - I'm a very crazy planner :laughing:

There will most definately be a PPP trip report with LOADS of photos :goodvibes I think Els (my boyfriend) is kinda wondering what's gonna go on, are we going to be partying with lots of little kids, but I think there are a lot of adults going (I also frequent another more UK-based site, and there are a few of us going on the 24th) - plus I have never been to WDW before, so I am going to do all the little kid stuff :thumbsup2

Also will be a RPR trip report with PLENTY of photos - I often read the Disney reports, but not so much US, so I'm pretty excited to be doing one! I think the hotel looks absolutely stunning! I hope we have time to swim in the pool - I think I am broke after booking this one, but hopefully it'll be worth it for FOTL ;)

WOW!!, I'm exhausted just reading what you have planned , certainly sounds like one fab holiday , your going to need a month off after to recover , I thought I'd done lots of planning for our upcoming trip!! . Hope you have a fantastic trip

Thank you very much :hug: I hope you will enjoy reading my TR after I come back :)

Hopefully I will get some more updates in before the end of the month, however my final exams start next week for 3 weeks. I am in my final year at university studying law and my goal is to graduate with a 2:1 - cross fingers :coffee:
 
I absolutely love Eeyore! I am so psyched for the Crystal Palace breakfast! Please pardon the dumb question, but what is MBBP? :

Not a dumb question! I had to ask when I first started collecting. MBBP = Mini Bean Bag Plush. At Disney World they are usually 7-10" and $8-13. At the US Disney Store they are usually 5-8" and $6.50. I used to collect EVERYTHING Eeyore but it got a little out of control with an Eeyore bathroom, Eeyore bedroom, 12" plushes everywhere. Once I moved in with my DBf, he wasn't having every room decked out in Disney :( So now I limit myself to just one room! lol!

Good luck on your finals!!
 
3 weeks...................ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...Im GREEN with envy:thumbsup2 :sick: :thumbsup2 have a blast and tll us allllllll about it!!! Great report so far!!:woohoo:

Thank you for clearing that up!! :thumbsup2 I'll have to try that :laughing: My DBF doesn't mind my Eeyore stuff so much, it's my mum that is sick of the sight of them (I live with my parents ATM) :rotfl: On our first Christmas my DBF wanted to buy me the biggest Eeyore I'd ever seen at £125 ($250) but my mum said no way is she getting anymore Eeyores :lmao: She is (half!) kidding of course! I would have loved to live in your Eeyore house :cloud9:

Els is pretty cool about my Disney habit though :thumbsup2 I even got him hooked on pins and now he has more than me :rotfl:

Thank you for the luck! I'll be glad when they're over - I'm taking a short break at the moment (yup, it's Saturday and I'm studying :surfweb: )

3 weeks...................ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...Im GREEN with envy have a blast and tll us allllllll about it!!! Great report so far!!

Thank you so much! I hope you like LONG trip reports with lots of pics :thumbsup2
 
You can really feel your excitment when you read your posts!

Which towncar company did you book with? Im yet to book mine.

We decided yesterday to book a one night stay at a US hotel, it makes such sense. The express pass perk is fantastic and it also means we can enjoy citywalk a little more too :cool1: Whats the bear and nuts thing all about?


Cant wait for your next installment

I just found your TR and have enjoying reading it so far. How exciting...3 weeks!!

Thank you! :goodvibes

We booked with Quick silver and they were really nice and friendly when we booked. We're only using them to transfer from I Drive to WDW once because Virgin transfers are included to and from the airport.

Great news on the US Hotel! Might as well go for broke! Which one are you staying at? We really wanted Hard Rock, but because it was only 1 night and we only really wanted the FOTL pass we went for the cheapest, Royal Pacific.

Go to Loews First (you can google it) and sign up to their loyalty club for free. They'll give you a number and there's a space to enter it on the US booking. You'll get to choose on Loews First a free amenity which inc. beer&nuts (what we got) fruit&water, cookies&milk, bottle of wine, $10 minibar credit.... Plus a free upgrade if available - Free's always good! Hope this helps!!

Thank you for reading - I'm glad you're enjoying it!

There will be another update real soon - I'm in the middle of my final exams at University (I have my 2nd tomorrow:surfweb: ) so I'll be updating after 31st May :thumbsup2

But...
75 DAYS TO GO!!!
 
Hi Hayley

Loving you pre trip report so far. I see you are in Epcot on the 20th of August, if you are in the area of Sea Breeze Point at 10.00am, feel free to come on over to my wedding;) I would love to meet a fellow DISser!!!It's an open gazebo so anyone can watch. We are having lunch at Citricos that day, I will have to check my itinerary and see if we are eating in the same places at any point:confused3
Isn't it so exciting?, the holiday is getting so close!!!
