My first ever Pre-Trip report so be gentle.... And hopefully this will flow into a formal trip report (but we shall see eh? I'm not very good at keeping track of everything Just ask me "what day is it?") and I'll not have a clue.

Ok so we haven't been back to the World since June 2004 which we went for 4 weeks. Fantastic loved it.:goodvibes
Then our priorities changed and we decided to add another little Princess to our collection and well Mickey became a distant memory for a short while,topple that with the ever need's and I want's and well money becomes tied up! and Disney becomes a thing of the past UNTIL we are sat here one cold wet morning.
I decide to tamper with the Virgin website and have a flicker with prices,Add this remove that. And I get a good price up! I mention to DP this price is quite good,and well he slept on it,next morning I wake to him on the Virgin website (I grin under the covers) and he says "Shall we book?".
I without hesitation jump from my slumber in full combat mode and off we go. Out come's the card, everything is rechecked and well we both press the CONFIRM button as quick as you can say "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" :rotfl:

So we are Flying Virgin on the 16th June - 7th July, 3 Weeks. Staying 11 nights Pop Century,And then 10 Nights All Star Movies.
We stayed in ASMO in 2004 and it was "perfect" for us.

THE CAST in Particular order :-

DP Mart A.K.A Chief Planner pirate:

Mart is 30 going on 10,Love's Disney as much as well I do.
He has taken on full planning of this holiday all I've had to do is sit here and say "Yes Dear".
He is Self employed,so having time off isnt an issue.
He can't wait to be sunning it up, Driving along with the wind blowing through his hair (Not that he has alot by the time I shave it ;) .
He Loves TOT,All the rides Bar Mission Space (yes that one sent him over the edge).
He can't wait to see our DD'S faces meeting the characters.


MOI A.K.A Mummy Pinky / Moaner! princess:

I am 26 years old!, I love everything bar flying to Disney,but I have sorted that problem with my new anti-sickness tablets.
I've not had any planning of this trip as the Chief has taken over,however I have full control of Holiday clothes shopping. And this is what I love shopping.
I've also converted us all into being "Croc" Lovers (C'mon let's hear it for the crocs). I'm full time mummy to our gorgeus little girls.
Oh and the pets ..Disney the rabbit and Tinkerbell the Puddy cat (these shall be staying with family members)
I love collecting Disney memorabilia like Snow globes,Photo frames etc.
I can't wait to do our "special treats more about that below".


DD Chelsea A.K.A "I want" princess:

Chelsea is 8 years old and entering "The Kevin stage" I'm sure we are all or have been there? the door slamming & stroppy faces and the TUT.
I want loves pulling fast one's like "I want this,but I need this because ...." and usually ends up getting what she wants.
Cue a very happy face until she needs something else.
She's a tomboy who also like's the colour pink.
Chelsea loved TOT last time and can't wait to ride RnR...
She suffer's Perthes Disease and has done since the age of 4,this hasnt stopped her in life she plays football etc and is a normal child.
She is still under the care of her hospital and we go back yearly atm it doesnt look too good but they don't want to do anything until her Bone as regrown.
Chelsea can't wait to eat copious amounts of Icecream, Watch the High school musical,and Ride RnR.

Miss Pinky will turn 3 years old when we are out there on the 27th June.
So we have a couple things booked as "suprises".

Miss P loves Peppa Pig,Mr Bean,Mickey cartoons,Go Diego Go,In the night garden. And video's what get repeated are Toy Story,Monsters Inc,The Incredibles,Shrek the 3rd and Shrek the Halls, She is a very keen Disney fan she loves Mickey Mouse.
And love's to look at peoples trip report photo's and youtube clips of the "Bang Bangs" thats fireworks to us.

For me and DD (Chelsea) we will be swimming with the Dolphins,sadly Little Miss is too young so her and daddy are on Non Swims.
