WOW! We’re finally going to Florida!!!After 2 long years of wishing and waiting and counting sleeps the big day is finally here. <\/p>\n
Day 1<\/p>\n
Very excited Children collected from school and off we go. M25 to Gatwich South drop the bags off, on the mono rail to The Premiere Inn at Gatwick North.. Five very excited but extremely well behaved children. Rooms huge with three beds, I king size and two singles. Magic for jumping from bed to bed playing ‘five little monkeys jumping on the bed’ off to dinner then bed ready for the big flight tomorrow.<\/p>\n
Day 2<\/p>\n
Everyone is sooo excited all up early wearing t shirts Auntie Viki got printed which say ‘Disney 2015’ and mickey ears on the front and their names in glitter on the back. All off to have big breakfast then check in. It was surprisingly easy and quick at security and passport control and our seats on the plane were all extra leg room and in 3 rows of 3 and an extra 2 in front at the exit row so nice and comfortable. Kids were brilliant on the flight. Flight very good and went very quickly. Staff really looked after us. Landed some 10 hours later but it only seemed like 2 hours. Again very quick and easy security and passport control and bags ready at baggage collection. Hertz were not as efficient however!! But finally got 2 mini busses and child seats then off to our lovely house. The house was 10 minutes to 2 hours depending if we got lost which we have done lots of times. Good thing about getting lost is that we have seen a lot of Florida ha ha.<\/p>\n
The house is gorgeous with lots of oriental influences and really posh but of course the best bit is the lovely and warm pool which was jumped into on arrival followed by takeaway huge pizzas beers, cokes and bed ready for a hectic day at Magic Kingdom tomorrow.<\/p>\n
Day 3 Magic Kingdom <\/p>\n
All up before 6 am !! So excited and ready to go and investigate. Arrived at Magic Kingdom at 10 am and watching the little ones faces was pure joy. They were wide eyed and open mouthed and gasping at everything they saw, a priceless experience. The infamous ‘It’s a small World’ was a big hit although the song is permenantly imprinted on my brain on a loop and plays on and on. It’s getting a bit like ‘ I know a song that gets on your nerves’ ha ha <\/p>\n
Day 4 Ella’s birthday Magic Kingdom <\/p>\n
Viki did happy birthday song on iPod. Balloons banners pressies and cards. She was so excited to see all her cards and presents which she didn’t expect whilst on holiday. Disney gave her a ‘happy birthday’ badge and everyone stopped to wish her a happy birthday she was delighted. What we didn’t realise was that this time is also a major spring break holiday for Americans and everywhere was buzzing with thousands of people. Luckily everyone was happy and jolly and I didn’t see or hear one upset the whole time. The queues were long sothank goodness for fast passes and preparation. It was frustrating for Susan<\/p>\n
