We arrived back yesterday morning but this is my first opportunity to get on the PC. We had an excellent holiday with many highs but a few lows, and are already talking about next year!!!
HIGHS
Disney as usual this was fantastic we had some great experiences the best of which was the pirates and princess party on the 21st, we thoroughly got involved and collected treasure and danced, the rides had very little or no wait and we stuck it out until midnight. The boys costumes went down well (piccies will follow) and the parrot on DH shoulder caused so many comments and looks the children were fascinated. We had some great meals including Sci-fi, Ohanas, Le Cellier and Crystal Palace.
The villa perfect, had a slight problem with the air conditioning but this was sorted with a couple of phone calls, it would not have been a problem had it not been so hot, unfortuantly it is being sold to an american so we will need to find somewhere to stay next year - recommendations kindly recieved
Shopping got plenty of shoes and clothes especially for eldest DS (size 14 feet, Waist of 29" and inside leg 36", so you see it was easier to clothe him there) one of our highlights was the Tommy Hilfigger shop we had never been in there before but will be back, they are opening a new one at Lake Buena Vista outlet - we got 2 pairs of swimming shorts, a linen shirt and a pair of shorts for $36
The flights Great, the food was excellent and the service was fantastic
the pool in their every day we needed it, it was so hot with very, very little rain, so we had an afternoon swim every day
Afternoon tea at Grand Floridian what can I say if you have never done it go, it is fantastic.
LOWS not too many
Tonys Thumb! somehow DH trapped his thumb in the sliding door of the minivan, ds shut the door on it, very swollen and bruised but it was OK, but I have a real phobia of hand problems (i had a really bad accident as a teenager and I can deal with blood etc anything except problems with hands/fingers) thankfully a really kind american couple came and helped I felt really faint! but it was all OK in the end
Perkins we had a really horrible lunch at the perkins on Sand Lake road, we waited 40 mins from ordering for our food and when it did arrive it was not nice made a complaint and paid for the boys meals as they ate most of theirs did not pay for ours!!!
TSA some visits ago we invested in TSA approved locks for all our suitcases, and do not have a problem with them searching our cases, we had 2 searched this year on the way home but one of them they did not lock again and we had an IPOD docking station and heart rate monitor that goes with DS new watch went missing from our case!, I have contacted my insurance company but basically our case wasn't locked so not covered, I will be fighting that cos I locked my case, I have also emailed the TSA will let you know what the out come is
coming home this speaks for itself - you all know how this feels
A trip report will follow, I will wait for the CD of our disney pics to arrive though.
Off to bed now
