    Well.....Sorry very excited!

    MOH and I will be spending this evening (up until the pub quiz that is!) filling out the extremly compilicated Excel spreadsheet I've concocted. Morning, Afternoon, Evening, Meals etc. etc.

    Really is anyone else this sad! [msnscared] Quietly I think MOH thinks I'm away with the bumble bees! I didn't think he was that excited, but today he told me he's been having trouble sleeping since we booked in January! Bless.

    You will really enjoy yourself out there and the parks should be a bit quieter after the easter break.. Planning what to do is a great way of organising things so you don't miss out on anything. But sometimes, trying to fit everything, can and probably will be very draining, and you will that sometimes the schedule will be thrown out the window. The first couple of days, try to organise a couple of things in the morning and relax towards the evening. Then have a couple of lie ins and relax and do other things in the evening. By the end of the holiday you will have enough energy to do an all dayer. Meal wise, if you arrange breakfast,lunch and evening meals, you will be bloated by the end of the third day. Different things we did was sometimes forget the breakfast and go to the parks before they open, to see the opening parades at the turnstiles etc, then grab a cookie, muffin, coffee about 11.00 and go through to about 2.00pm and have a big lunch. that would then see us through until late and usually the evening meal is more than likely chicken and salad in the villa. Days we tend to lie in we go for a buffet breakfast and then dont eat until really late in the evening.

    Take your time to enjoy everything and if that means the plan is forgotten sometimes, thats the way it goes. You are there to enjoy yourself as well, and if you miss a couple of things. Then thats a great excuse to go back again[8D]

    Thanks Ceri!

    Don't worry we're not going to go too overboard on the planning, it just helps to quell the excitement!
    I've been before but it's first time in the USA for MOH, and i'm hoping it's going to be special for him. We've worked hard for this trip, and we're gonna enjoy it!

    Just a couple of very important things to double check and you're all set.

    Any medication any of the party may need?

    Insurance, inc details of emergency no in case it should be needed (I'm sure it won't but in the event you don't want to have to be hunting)

    Drivers License (if you have a photo one you should take the paper one as well in case you get asked for it).

    Passports (inc any VIsas if needed).

    Phone nos just in case you lose credit cards or need to phone up, some people have found that a transaction is blocked because the credit card companies notice an out of the ordinary purchase - you could phone your creidt card company to inform them there may be transaction in US).


    The weather has been fabulous for a few weeks, but today they had the first rain for 41 days or so, which as you can imagine was quite welcomed by the locals after temps getting to 90ish.

    Just think every sleep is one day closer

    It won't take long to go round and hopefully you'll tell us all about what a wonderful time you are having.
