One week to go!

By -
I can't believe it's 9 months since we booked, the time has flown, but this time next week, we'll be getting ready to board our flight to Orlando. We're as packed as we can be, just need the daily last minute odds and ends that we'll be using during the week. As ever, we're heading to Manchester on Sunday and staying over in preparation for an early start.  I love getting through security early so we can relax with breakfast, duty free and people watching before we fly. Disney and Universal tickets are booked, as is the Baseball - we're finally trying the Major Leagues, with a trip to see the Tampa Bay Rays v the Boston Red Sox.  And we just need to book for Capone's dinner show. Can't wait!

Scooters, baseball and doctors

So, Sunday, lazy day. Chris hired a scooter for the rest of the trip, which makes life so much easier. We mooched about and explored the area, and spent the evening at Downtown Disney, which is a great place to hang out and chill. Monday, was Universal, and to be honest, we both preferred Disney. Not that there's anything wrong with Universal, but Disney just feels better. We're going back later in the week to do Islands of Adventure. On the way home, we stopped back at DTD, since the weather was better, and the hot air balloon was running. Fab views, and I can tick that off the bucket list! The evening was spent at one of the outlet malls - think Freeport on steroids! Tuesday was Tampa, where we went to the Dali museum, and the Tampa Bay Rays v Boston Red Sox match. Home team won, yay! During the day, Chris started complaining about the skin round his eyes feeling sore and puffy. Those of you on my twitter feed or his facebook may have seen the pic of how he looked when ...

When it's too wet for Ducks!

Woke up this morning to the best weather since we arrived so, armed with sunscreen and hats, we headed for The Big One - The Magic Kingdom. Wow! That's all I can say for first impressions! When we parked up, we decided to get the ferry across to the park, rather than the monorail, and I was treated to our first peek at Cinderella's castle! After EPCOT, Chris decided to get a chair from the outset, and went for one of the electric scooters, which he decided was well worth the money. After wandering along Main Street USA, and chatting to the Mayor, we realised we were just in time for the Move It, Shake It, Celebrate It Street Party.  Ever seen a crab and a candelabra boogieing on down? Come to Disney! Totally unexpected, and a great start to the day! Next stop, Adventureland, and the Jungle Cruise, with a tour guide who had a fab line in puns! Then, onto Aladdin's Flying Carpets, followed by the Pirates of the Carribean ride. Out through the mandatory gift shop, and on ...
