The Trip That Almost Wasn't - September 2017
We arrived back on Saturday morning after an AMAZING trip so I thought I'd get the ball rolling on my trip report! There is also a food report in progress here, which I'll probably finish before I actually start this properly, but I wanted to get a highs and lows post up
The Cast Me, Helen - 35 - My 6th visit to WDW. Lover of cocktails, Baymax, peanut butter-based treats and Haunted Mansion. I'm the planner, organiser, driver and travel-document holder My husband, Ainge - 33 - 3rd visit to WDW. Lover of all chocolate, beer, meat, sleep and turning up to holidays that I've planned without any clue as to what we're actually doing We flew with Virgin from Manchester to Orlando, stayed at Yacht Club for 12 nights, with the dining plan, and then embarked on a 4 night Bahamian cruise on the Disney Dream. We opted not to go to Universal on this trip, although we did squeeze in a cheeky visit to Halloween Horror Nights For more details, and insight in to the reason behind the title, my pre-trippy is here! But, in short, until the day before we actually left there seemed to be obstacle after obstacle in our way and I wasn't actually convinced we were ever going to get to Florida. It wasn't even all Irma's fault. So without further ado... Highs & Lows Day 1 - A Breakfast of Prosecco and Tots Day 2 - That's Not How You Wear a Seatbelt Day 3 - Accidental 3 Park Challenge (plus Disney Springs) Day 4 - A Galaxy Far Far Away Day 5 - Brunch, Booze and Ohana Day 6 - Drinking Around the World Day 7 - Boo To You! Day 8 - Flying Banshees and Flying Fish Day 9 - Margaritas, Malfunctions and Massive Queues Day 10 - Food & Wine Festival: Redux Day 11 - An Ode to the Sanaa Bread Service Day 12 - Farewell to the Kingdom Day 13 - To Port Canaveral and Beyond! Day 14 - Rainy Pirate Republic Day 15 - Castaways! Day 16 - Bob, Bob, Bobbin' Along Day 17 - One Large Frosty Bev, Please Day 18 - Airport Incompetence Final Thoughts & Future Plans

I'm looking forward to reading this as think you were there around the same time we were
Plus I'd like to hear your thoughts on the cruise as have never done one and think Disney might be a good place to start!

Ooh this is exciting
I'm wondering if day 1 will be like the long-awaited Pandora and live up to the hype and expectation or like the ROL much delayed and we get the Jungle Book understudy...just a little insight into the inner workings of my mind! Seriously Helen, I'm really pleased you didn't decide to just can it and not bother.
