Fingers crossed for us both!
Hope you get what you want! I think I'd be happy with either of our requests

We just booked our magical express today! I can't even handle my excitement!
Even the little things are so exciting! I actually forgot about booking that and just did it a couple of weeks ago

See you by the quiet pool! (don't judge my wobbly bits )
Ahh how exciting! It's okay, I have plenty of wobbly bits too

Yep! We figured we'd make the most of it with us not doing Universal this year. Definitely found other ways to spend our money Not long for you now either!

Haha I always spend ages browsing the Disney Store Japan site! Wish we had even half the stuff they get over here. It's totally flying, can't believe we only have 34 days to go!

I cried on the Alton Towers log flume a few years ago, the waterworks started on the first little drop! I can manage Kali but that's about as big a drop as I'll do!

Star Wars Dessert Party & Life Update

Yay, an update that doesn't consist of "...and then we waited some more!"

With the holiday being so close I was beginning to panic that the absence of Star Wars fireworks times meant that they wouldn't be shown during our trip. With that, the MSEP leaving and no announcement of Rivers of Light, it was almost enough to send me into a meltdown!

Alas, Saturday rolled around and the dates popped up on the Disney World website. They aren't nightly, which is a shame, but they were showing on the date we wanted for the dessert party

We couldn't book until yesterday, and I popped it on our pre-paid currency card. Since we bought our dollars at the decent rate of $1.44, I figured it would be best to spend our spends rather than get a naff exchange rate on my credit card!

We booked for the 15th October, cancelling off our Trattoria al Forno reservation. This will be our first dessert party and I'm so excited, the reviews seem to be great and I've managed to stay spoiler free from videos of the show

I also have an update on our house! The plot we earlybirded was released for sale in the middle of August, and it's been really full on since we reserved. We've had our mortgage offer back and are actually due to exchange contracts next week! We also had our appointment at the choices centre yesterday, which was fun but also super expensive

Our completion date is in March, so if all goes to plan this time next year we'll be in our first house!



28 days to go!

Hiya,

OMGGGGGGGGGG it's so close. We are 20 today but 19 until we leave home. I'm hoping to finish up work 2 weeks today!

I really fancied the SW dessert party but the lack of seats and slightly higher tables put a downer on it for Dylan, he's teeny so wouldn't even be able to see his plate! One for another time I think.

My neighbours left yesterday for a 3 week trip (the plane we arrive on is the one they come home on on the same day!). Now I know it's getting close for us.

We're almost there!

I am currently getting the last of my bits together in my case before we leave for the train to Manchester airport at half 11!

I have to admit I was struggling to get excited, especially after coming down with a cold on Thursday But I have my fingers crossed that the worst of it is over and I can now go on to enjoy the holiday.

Can't believe we fly tomorrow, eeeeek!
