I just landed back today from my 10 days in Florida and I have to say I'm feeling the blues already! It is so much harder to say goodbye when staying on site, which I wasn't expecting.
Luckily we only have to wait 6 months and we'll back again. I feel very blessed that even living in the UK we manage to go 'home' so often.
I might get around to doing a trip report but for now I thought I'd just cover the basics and give a quick overview of our trip.
I have to throw this out there now, by far the best bit of our trip was that on our first night my boyfriend proposed to me! The trip was to celebrate us being together for 4 years and on our first night he took me to the wishing well next to Cinderella Castle, got down on one knee and asked me to marry him! It was a perfect start to our trip and I think every cast member we passed after that said congratulations, it was very special!
Resort:
we stayed in Art of Animation in a little mermaid room and we absolutely loved it! so much so that were hoping to stay there again in May.
I'd heard reviews it was a bit of trek to the little mermaid rooms but we didn't find it too bad at all. Our room was lovely and we found it very spacious with enough storage for both of us, we were also pixie dusted with towel animals a couple of days!
We only ate at the food court once but the food was excellent, as was the service.
The staff couldn't have been more helpful and friendly, we couldn't have asked for more!
Magic Bands and FP+
After reading mixed reviews I was a bit apprehensive but I have to say we loved both of these! We only had one issue with Test Track linking the wrong photo to our account but im sure after a quick email that will be resolved. FP+ meant we got more done than usual and magic bands just made things so much easier for us.
Transport:
Bus service was excellent, don't think we ever waited more than 10 minutes for a bus to turn up and all the drivers were friendly. Journeys were quick, no complaints at all! We visited Umiversal a few days and got taxis there and back. We didn't wait more than 2 minutes for a taxi and prices were much less than we estimated.
I'll be back tomorrow to overview our dining reservations and the special events we went too, but for now I need some well deserved sleep!
