Hi all
We arrived back last Friday but it's taken me till now to get my head sorted and get organised!
The trip was amazing, we had such a great time, but as usual there were the odd few niggles, but luckily these didn't spoil it for us.
Highs
Flying on the new A330 with Virgin, the plane was amazing, the IFE was fab and I was happy with the leg room, we had lots of drinks. Food was pretty bad but what else do you expect!
The weather, two small showers the whole time! The rest of the time was sunny and at least 30 degrees , some days were too hot tbh
The villa was lovely, with a lovely pool and the kids really enjoyed it.
All the wonderful food!
A very kind CM at MK who when Harley lost his hat gave him a Disney on free of charge as he was very upset that it was his cars one he had lost. I thought this was lovely and very much instilled the Disney spirit in us!
Harley on the rides, this was the first year that he has been tall enough to do the 40" rides, he did ToT and Test Track plus all of the others!
Lows
Coming home ....generally!
Rude people in the parks. People trying to reserve a whole sidewalk for themselves at parade time. I had a few words with one woman regarding this.
Virgin's rubbish package holiday way of doing things, having to go to their office to collect things that they conveniently weren't allowed to give us at the airport. I hate how they try to rip you off because they think that you don't know the place you have come on holiday to, one poor family shelled out $500 on a trip to Planet Hollywood. I would have been peeved if I were them.
Inconsistent height restriction measuring, Harley is dead on 40" and some CMs wouldn't let him ride when others would, this was really upsetting for him especially when he had ridden the attraction once and then denied the second time. We ended up buying him a new pair of trainers to ensure that he was over as in his Crocs he was sunken down in the sole so made it harder for us!
There's so much more but hopefully I will finish my journel / trippie soon then I can post it all!

I'm already working on it Jen! I'm thinking October 2012, with a week half term and a couple of weeks before.
