What is your ideal Fantasy trip?

[T16GEM]

If money were no object, and you could go for however long you liked, where would you stay and what would you do?

If I could I'd go October to May, for a nice long trip. Flying upperclass (bed class as DH calls it ) I think we would still have a villa, but a nice luxurious one with waterfalls in the pool, backing onto a beautifully lanscaped golf course (hoping not to get hit by any stray balls )

We'd visit the parks as often as we wanted, and go to all the water parks, with lots of time spent in Aquatica, of course in a private cabana.

We could skip the long lines, and just do the things we really wanted to on a particular day, no rush, pleanty of time mentality.

oh what it is to dream....

For me I would take a 4 week holiday from work, fly Business Class and book a suite at the Grand Floridian for 2 weeks.

I would have reservations at all the "signature" restaurants, park hopper passes, unlimited ammount of spending money in the park for gifts and trinkets etc.

Forthe last 2 weeks I'd have a villa off property and do the other Orlando bits and bobs (Space Centre, Universal etc) and have a HUGE shopping spree at the malls.

But for now.... back to reality.

We are lucky we have been able to do what we want over the past 7 years without having to worry much about cost so we have flown Biz class a couple of times, Discovery cove twice, stayed at AKL with savanah view, done numerous Disney cruises, hot air balloon ride, been for 4 weeks, been 4 times in a year......

I guess if we were to win the lottery then it would be all those in 1 long trip but can't think we would do much differently, don't enjoy Signature meals much, don't like hotels like GF, don't like villas.

Only been able to do it by losing Mum and using her money, rather have her back and go once a year in economy.

3 weeks is our ideal time frame, after that I need to get back to the real world and normal food!! SO....Park our top of the range car at Gatwick, stay in the best room in the Hilton the night before we fly 1st class to Orlando. Stay in POR (not a huge fan of the delux hotels) and just do Disney at a nice steady pace. Not a huge fan of any of the restaurants really at Disney because we are both vegetarian and the choice is limited to say the least. So we will be picked up and taken off resort to other good restaurants ie the one at the Peabody, and drink fine wines. This isn't far from what we do now really other then its a VERY scaled down version of it...ie cheap car, normal Hilton room, economy flights, quick service dining plan!!!!! oh well...I can dream.

Either way..I still think we are VERY lucky tobe able to go to Disney so often when its a once in life time holiday for many people and I never take it for granted.

An ideal trip to me would be flying business class into Miami and spending 3 nights at some luxurious 5 star hotel on south beach, fly into Orlando and spend 5 nights at Portofino Bay at Universal, then 14 night split stay at Disney between a Savannah View room at Animal Kingdom Lodge and a suite at Grand Floridian with the DDP.

Now I just have to win the lottery...

 

[disneyholic family]

hmmmmm....so many things i'd like to see and do.....
let's see...

i'd start off with 4 weeks at WDW staying in the presidential suite at the wilderness lodge (or possibly 1 week in the presidential suite in each of the deluxe resorts that i like: WL, GF, AKL, Yacht Club)....

everything would be taken care of, i wouldn't have to do any of the planning...

we could walk up to any restuarant any time we wanted and would be seated (without an ADR)...

we would have front of the line, no wait at all attractions and all the best seats in every show would be waiting for us (nemo, festival of the lion king, etc).

the waterparks would open 2 hours early just for us so that we could use them without having to wait in any lines or bump into other people in the river/wave pool...

with all that extra time from not having to wait for anything, we'd finally have the time to do all the things we've always want to do but never find the time to (FW campfire, pianoman at POR, dance party at DTD, etc)

after the 3 or 4 weeks at WDW it would be on to NYC - where we would stay for a week in the finest suite at the Pierre or some such hotel.
every night and matinee would be broadway, except for one night at the metropolitan opera...
of course, only the very best seats at all the shows....

then we would board the queen mary 2 for a voyage across the atlantic - of course in the top suite on board (complete with butler service)...

then a week in london, then up to scotland for a visit in edinburgh...
then a stay with the Queen at Balmoral Castle (if i'm dreaming big, i'll go for broke)...

and then on to europe - every beautiful city, staying in the finest accomodations, everything taken care of, etcetc
i don't know how long in europe - however long i wanted to travel there..
then on to eastern europe and the former soviet union countries..
then on to russia, then on to china and all around asia and southeast asia....
with an especially long time in my most beloved japan (where i spent so much time as a child).....
then down to australia/new zealand....
then to hawaii (visiting every island)...
then on to alaska - 2 weeks traveling on land...
then a cruise of alaska (on RSSC or silversea)..
and then north america....
i think for north america it will have to be by car....(fancy SUV)...
coast to coast to coast to coast.....all around canada, all around the US..
visiting every national park there is....

and finally, ending in WDW....for another 4 weeks just like the first 4...

this is the abridged version, but you get the idea..

sort of the 5 star+ version of backpacking around the world....
i figure it would take at least a year, maybe two!..

i'm just editing this to add that of course we would visit every disney park around the world as well....(when we were in the neigborhood)..

I would definitely fly upper class.

3 weeks in a suite at Animal Kingdom Lodge.
Character meals for the kids
Would have a couple of signature meals.
mall of millenia shopping trip, buy what ever we wanted!
A couple of days at IOA/US

Then I would pop to Disneyland California for a week and to San Francisco for a 3 days.

Before flying home I would do 7 nights in NYC in a 5* hotel!

 

[Elise79]

For us it would be to fly upper class and to stay in a MK View grand villa at BLT

However, we are very lucky in that we have had the opportunity to visit multiple times a year for the last few years and we now stay in a minimum of a 1 bedroom at DVC and fly PE.

Would bother with many Disney restaurants even if money was no object - just don't enjoy them that much any more. I might do a couple more character meals for DD but that would be it really!

Haha I have three 'dream' trips I want to take - I would rather keep them all seperate than do them all at once

My first one is for our wedding, and have our nearest-and-dearest in orlando with us for a week, showing them the parks and having fun. Whilst staying in a Savanah View Room at AKL. Then our wedding in Disney - followed by a two or three night stay in the contemporary concierge level - MK view.

We would then fly to St Lucia for a week of pure relaxation!

My second trip is a two / three week trip seeing Vegas and California. with things like a helicopter ride over the grand canyon, maybe the whole adventures by disney california trip too!!

My third trip is to Japan, have some real sushi, see Tokyo and shop, see some drifting cars, the history and of course - Disneyland Tokyo!

I'm hoping to work really hard and do the above before I hit 30 - thats my goal, it might not be all business class etc, but if I could do that I would be super happy!!
