I will be entirely honest, I am not a fan of SeaWorld for the same reasons, but my parents really wanted to go during their last trip here and I went. I got over it, but I had not been touring in crazy Florida heat for a week at that point!
I just love how he got stuck having to go feed the dolphins with Joe. Karma is a …

I think he enjoyed that a lot more than he would have enjoyed the whale show! We didn’t go to Seaworld in 2016 though 
though I felt sorry for Joe not getting to do their coasters.

Magic Kingdom Day 12
After being woken up the night before, we slept surprisingly well, and at first I didn’t even remember the argument we had heard. When we got downstairs, everyone was up early and eating breakfast, though there was definite tension in the air. Then I realised John wasn’t there. Mum came over and told me that as I had thought, Lucy had locked John out as she thought the patio door had been left open by accident, and they’d argued. Neither mum nor Lucy had slept that night as they were too upset (bit over dramatic imo…) Now nobody had seen John. My dad knocked on the door a while later as we were all frantically rushing round trying to make rope drop for once…no answer. Then just as we were about to leave, I tried and asked if he was coming , and John came straight out, completely ready to go, and got in the car. We were off to the Magic Kingdom! And it looked like we would make rope drop! But half the family wasn’t speaking the to other half 
But 2 out of 3 ain’t bad 
We parked up at the TTC, and as we walked to the monorail, John told Steve and me his version of what had happened - the TV and lights were all on when Lucy came down, and she had still thought that everyone had gone to bed. She couldn’t see John outside as he’d finished his cigarette and was watching the fireworks - we never worked out where the fireworks were, they happened at 10pm though and we caught them a few times. John said he had had enough of Lucy, and in particular Dan, and our mum, and the end of the holiday couldn’t come soon enough for him. It was less than magical, and I had no hope that he would breathe in pixie dust and cheer up. But luckily we were splitting up - Lucy and Dan were getting the ferry, then taking the kids to meet princesses and fairies, while we were getting the monorail and then going to do Tomorrowland.
We missed the Avengers monorail 
But I was excited to go through the Contemporary, and get a glimpse of Chef Mickeys. As we were pulling into the station, the welcome show was in progress, but we were just too late and as we rushed down the ramp it had just finished. Still, it was closer to rope drop than we’d managed before, which seemed like a good omen. We dashed to Space Mountain, where the wait said 10 minutes. My mum and dad grumbled and thought we should skip to the next step because the line was outside the building, but I reminded them that it had been outside on previous trips too first thing in the morning, and there was no way we could be standing in a 2 hour line at 9am. They were partly right though, it wasn’t 10 minutes. The time clicked over to 15 minutes just before we got in the building, and it was probably more like 20 minutes. We really enjoyed it again though, I let Steve sit at the back this time so he’d have more space for his legs! We got a fast pass as we got off so we could ride again.
Next on our plan was Buzz Lightyear - again the wait said 10 minutes, but this time it was accurate, and in no time at all we were helping Buzz defeat the evil Emperor Zurg!
Not that I was helping very much lol, I am useless at this type of ride, I couldn’t tell what I was aiming at, and even when I was convinced I was hitting the target I wasn’t getting any points…I ended up with a horrible score of 3400 
Steve couldn’t stop laughing at me. When we got off, I said we should ride again as the wait was still 10 minutes, but Joe said he wouldn’t, because he had done really badly. When I asked, he had got 3800 so he’d beaten me! But he was inconsolable and marched off. We were at some bushes with a wall around, as Joe went one way Steve followed him, and I went the other way to cut him off - but when I got there, there was no sign of them! I knew they couldn’t have gone far, there was nowhere to go, so I told the others to go on Buzz and we’d be a few minutes behind them. I could see Chip and Dale getting ready to meet and greet (if I remember correctly), but I couldn’t see my boys anywhere, and I was getting really annoyed - even though I was rubbish at Buzz, I still wanted another try. After about 10 minutes, they reappeared, Steve said they had been just at the side 
I had walked round a few times, over to CoP, to the little gift shop, they were nowhere in sight. Bizarre! And then the others were back, so I never got my second try, and my pathetic score was unimproved!
We were supposed to do Carousel of Progress and the Peoplemover next, but my parents and Sean had done them while we were in the epic queue for Space the previous week, and the rest of us weren’t bothered about them. So we went to Monsters Inc Laugh Floor…which I won’t abbreviate !! We didn’t really know what to expect from this, but it was pretty funny. “That guy” was a really distinctive man with long white hair and a long plaited beard, who took it a lot better than Steve would have, though by the end he was hiding behind his daughter! We also saw Marty Wazowski almost stumped by a child who told him his favourite sport was skiing…he managed to come up with a punchline though. For the next few days, Joe kept pretending to be Marty and asking us our name, where we were from, and our favourite sport - he wasn’t as quick with the jokes though 
After Laugh Floor, it was time for us to go back to Space for our 3rd ride of the trip - I love it, one of my favourites, and I was really happy we got to do it again.
My mum and dad went to see the Swiss Family Treehouse, while we rushed to Splash to get FPs - it was 11.25 by now, and the FPs were for 1.35.
As we went back to Adventureland to meet them (stoping for snacks on the way), we saw Captain Jack’s Pirate Tutorial going on, but my plan was to see the 12.25 show so we hurried Joe past. We had decided to skip the Enchanted Tiki Room and go straight to Jungle Cruise , but when we got there, it was closed!
We waited for a few minutes while my dad went to find out what was going on, and it was closed due to lightning in the vicinity. It was another boiling hot morning but clouds were gathering, it was still dry at MK though. As Dad came back and we started to discuss what to do, Jungle Cruise opened again so we got in line. It was supposed to be a 20 minute wait but it felt longer, it was loading really slowly. The ride itself was fine, the skipper did his best but I think it was a tough crowd! When we got to the end we had to wait about 10 minutes while 3 other boats were brought out and loaded, I really felt sorry for the skipper then as he tried to entertain us with nothing to look at. Just as we eventually got off, the heavens opened and the rain started hammering down. We had to get Joe’s Mickey poncho on him, and we cowered under the shelter at the FP machines wondering what to do next.
We had managed to get a lot done so far…but what would we do with the rest of our day?

Magic Kingdom Day 12 continued
It was about time for the next Pirate Tutorial but we assumed it wouldn’t be going ahead in this weather so we opted for lunch, hoping the rain would stop while we ate. I fancied burritos at Tortuga Tavern, and everyone else did too except Mum, so we ended up at Pecos Bills again. I went for the BBQ pulled pork sandwich this time and it was really good, but I struggled to finish it - Mum had it too and only ate about half, she said there was too much sauce. So we might as well have gone to Tortuga Tavern. Unfortunately, it was still pouring down when we finished. We decided to do Pirates again while we were in the area, it was about a 25 minute wait which wasn’t bad.
There were 2 Pooh-sized people in the row in front of me, they were sitting all the way to the left and there was nobody else in the row to balance it out, the boat was definitely tipping over to the left - where I was also sitting - and as we launched a tidal wave of water came over the edge and absolutely soaked me, I was not impressed. It happened again at the drop but I had made everyone move over to the right so it didn’t get me as much.
After PotC the weather had died down but it was still raining. We were within our FP window so we headed back to Splash to see if it was open.
Sadly it was closed, the CM said he had no idea when it would open but our FPs would be good all day so we could come back later.
I really wanted to meet Mickey so we all went to Town Square Theatre to see what the wait was like. I thought it would be busy because of the weather but it was only 20 minutes for Mickey and 30 minutes for the princesses. We did feel rushed through, Minnie gave me and Joe a hug, she was pointing at my Mickey T shirt, and I think Mickey shook Joe’s hand, but the CM was already trying to get us to pose for the photo, then we were ushered out.
Back outside it was still raining, so we hit the shops on Main Street. We were finished around 3pm, it was still raining, and we decided to give up and leave. Mum said to Joe to have a last look around because he wouldn’t be back for a long time, if ever, and I got a bit teary looking up at the castle, I had been trying not to think about the fact that it was our last Disney day 
We got the monorail back to the TTC which cheered me up a bit, getting a closer look at the Grand Floridian and the Poly - which I didn’t like the look of at all so can cross off my list! Back in the car, my parents revealed that their plan for the rest of the afternoon was…to visit Walmart. Yes, I’m serious 
Apparently it’s the biggest Walmart in the world, or something. Since our alternative was to go back to the villa and do nothing much, we decided to go too. We drove down the US27 for hours - well an hour but it felt longer - and just as we were about to give up, we spotted it. We picked up some snacks and some treats to bring home for our work colleagues. Then we looked at the clothes where we got quite a few things. Dad then told us they were eating at the villa again that evening so unless we wanted to be dropped off somewhere, we should get something for dinner. Initially, the same as the night before, we didn’t really feel we could go out because we couldn’t get home, but then we thought how much could a taxi cost, it can’t be that much, so me and Steve, John and Joe decided to go out for an all you can eat buffet. Sean said he would stay in.
We went home and got changed, the sun was out by this time and Bella, Faye and Alex were in the pool - Joe took one look at them and decided to stay at home, he was in his swimming shorts almost before we’d said ok!
My dad dropped us at Golden Corral which we had checked out on line to make sure it was definitely a buffet this time! We really enjoyed it, the food was great and there was a lot of choice. But we still had to find a way home… When we got there, it was pretty quiet, but by the time we left, full to bursting, it was really busy, there was a queue out the door, and we didn’t like to ask if anyone could help us get a taxi, so we just wandered out.
We were vaguely thinking that we could find a hotel and they might be able to help us, at least by giving us a phone number and pointing us in the direction of a pay phone. But there was (of course!) a gift shop next door, and I wondered if they might be able to do the same. We had a look round first, and did buy something - some Minnie bootees for my friend’s soon to be born baby girl and some other bits - and I asked the man behind the counter if he knew where we could get a taxi. He asked if we had a phone, and when we said no, he rang it himself, which was really lovely of him. Especially as his wife was also serving behind the counter and started yelling at him for being on his mobile while she did all the work The taxi arrived quickly and the driver was really friendly, it only cost the same as it would have done to travel the same distance at home too - we were worried about that as we had no idea how much taxis cost in the USA!
Later that night, as I tucked Joe up in bed, he cried his eyes out because our holiday was so nearly over - no more Disney parks and only one more park day. I wanted to cry myself, how could 2 weeks go so fast! But we did have an amazing day to look forward to - the next day was Sean’s 18th, we were going to IOA in the morning, and Planet Hollywood for dinner

So will you drive next time so that you are less dependent on your parents’ wishes? Or are you staying ‘on site’?
Next trip we will be on site moving between AKL and then HRH but I am still thinking of hiring a car to give us more freedom to move around.

Islands of Adventure Day 13
I couldn’t believe this day had arrived - my baby boy was 18 We were all up early to give Sean his cards before we got ready for IOA, we were giving him his presents when we got home, though he’d already had an ipod touch to keep him entertained on the trip.
IOA was open at 8am and we were determined to make it! We wanted to make sure we got to ride Spiderman at least twice since we had missed out on it earlier in our holiday.
We rushed through Citywalk but still just missed rope drop, only by about 5 minutes though. We dashed to Spiderman, while Lucy, Dan and the kids went souvenir shopping. There was no line at all, though it took a few minutes to get through the queuing area, then we were on. It was amazing!! Hence the name I guess! It was a great ride last time we were on it, but since its been upgraded its even better, we all loved it. We got straight back on with no queue again, and loved it just as much. I think Sean would have happily stayed there riding it all day, but we decided to go to Forbidden Journey to see how busy it was there.
Even though it was only about 8.30, the line was already about 60 minutes long, and we weren’t allowed in the single rider line until we had put our bags in lockers. It looked like we would have to queue for about 15 minutes before we got near the lockers, so we went up to Filch’s Emporium and went into the lockers from the ride exit. In no time at all we were riding, its unbelievable how few people use the single rider line. We rode 3 times in quick succession, until our heads were spinning and we knew we had reached our limit
We had a good look around the shop, but it was too busy to see anything properly, so we gave up.
Outside at the cart, Joe really wanted to buy a wand, he had saved his money for the whole 2 weeks so we had to let him get one. He took ages to decide which one, but eventually settled for Dumbledore’s - you can’t get better than the Elder wand after all! Then we had a look through the shops we hadn’t seen - Flourish and Botts, and the Owl Post. Joe had enough money left for an owl of his own, and chose a brown and white barn owl, which he named Hermes after Percy’s owl in the books. Unfortunately he kept mis-pronouncing it and calling it Herpes
We didn’t bother with Ollivanders. Steve took Sean and Joe to the Hog’s Head next for Butterbeer, while I went with mum, dad and John to ride Dragon Challenge. DC was as empty as it had been on our previous visit, and we rode Chinese Fireball twice with no wait at all. I wanted Butterbeer too, but when we got back to the boys, the queues were enormous at the carts outside and at the Hog’s Head. We could have waited, but it was really only me who wanted it, so we didn’t bother.
We headed through Seuss Landing and spent quite a bit of time shopping there.
After a while my mum and dad went to ride the Cat in the Hat, and when we finished in the shop I took Joe to ride 1 Fish 2 Fish Red Fish Blue Fish. The wait was only 10 minutes, but as we were joining the queue we saw the Cat in the Hat, Thing 1 and Thing 2, the Grinch and a couple of other characters getting on stage to sing and dance, so we watched them for a while.
When we did get in line the wait was short and Joe loved the ride - I was surprised he agreed to go on it at all and even more surprised he liked it, but I think the fact that he kept steering us right into the path of the squirting fountains so I was drenched may have had something to do with it
We went over to the Cat in the Hat to wait for my parents and looked in the shop there for ages, then we gave up and went outside to wait - we waited for well over 30 minutes for them. Then when they appeared they had Alex with them, so we had to wait for Lucy, Dan and the girls to catch up and collect him. Mum said they hadn’t been far behind them in the queue, but it was at least 15 minutes before they met us - we passed the time eating yummy churros! They went back to the villa after that, their objective for the day was really just for Alex to get his photo taken with Spiderman which they had done.
After a fantastic morning, a fantastic evening to celebrate Sean’s 18th birthday

We’re doing POFQ and HRH, but no car. We got one last time and I only really drove to Universal so we’re just going to uber.

We have also always included Seaworld and Busch Gardens in our trips. I thought that we may skip them this time but both ‘children’ want to re visit Seaworld, but not Busch or Discovery Cove. I understand Steve’s emotions but I consider that Seaworld have made some dramatic changes and give a huge amount to animal research and conservation. I don’t believe they should be judged by today’s standards for what they did in the past.

Do you think that staying on site will give you more chance to be spontaneous with Joe and not always make group decisions about when/ where to go? You and Joe can RD every day!

Islands of Adventure/Planet Hollywood Day 13 continued
We had fit so much into our morning so far, and it wasn’t over yet!
We headed back to Superhero Island. Mum, Dad and John went to do single rider on Hulk, and though I really wanted to as well, I stayed with my boys and treated them all to a T shirt - Sean picked Deadpool and Joe got Captain America, I can’t remember what Steve chose.
When we met up again we did more shopping, then went to the Fantastic Four cafe for lunch. I had pepperoni pizza which was fine, but John and my dad hated their lasagne - it was cheese lasagne with no meat in, I don’t know if that’s usual in the US but in England it has meat! John took his back and got spaghetti and meatballs instead. When our food had settled, we got in the single rider line for Spiderman. It had kept disappearing and reappearing while we walked around, and when we got in it we realised why - it was really long and slow-moving, they obviously took away the option when it exited the building We waited 20-25 minutes, it was worth it for one last ride.
Then we said goodbye to IOA and our last park of the holiday 
I was so sad, it was hard to leave Hogsmeade behind
Back at the villa, we all got in the pool for an hour or so. I lay out in the lovely sunshine for my first sunbathing session - too little too late as I came home as white as I left! Then we all got ready to go out. I’d had trouble with the reservations as I didn’t know you could book direct and I had done it on the Disney website and had to make 3 separate ones at 7.45, 8 and 8.15 because I couldn’t get an ADR for 12. When I found out on the Dis dining boards that I could ring them to sort it out I had tried, but they told me just to come early, so we were planning to arrive at 7 - we thought they would note that our ressies were linked and maybe tell us to come back at 8 or 8.15 when they could seat us together, so we could have a wander around West Side.
We arrived at about 6.45 and spoke to the guy dealing with reservations outside - he told us to go straight in to the 2nd floor and speak to the greeter there. The greeter didn’t hold out much hope that we would be seated together, but asked us to wait and he would see what he could do. I was just about to go to the bar when he called me over and said they could seat us straight away at the high tables in the bar, there were 3 and they seated 4 but I didn’t think Alex or Faye would be safe on bar stools, so I said we would wait. Again I headed towards the bar but he called me again and said there was 1 table free, the one opposite it would be 10 minutes, and there was another a couple of tables away which would be 15 minutes. I discussed it with the others and we agreed to do that. But when I went over to tell him, he had a change of plan for us - he said if we went up to the 3rd floor, we would be seated immediately all together
Sean and Steve were delighted as this was the Sci-Fi floor. We were immediately seated as promised at a table for 12 - in front of the kitchen but we didn’t mind that - and they were off straight away taking photos.
Bella and Faye were enthralled by the enormous Woody sitting above us! This sounds obscene
The food was fantastic. We shared starters of bruschetta and chicken crunch as we didn’t want to be too full for dessert! The birthday boy went for burger and fries - you can take him anywhere and he will get a burger! Me and Mum had chicken fajitas, John and Dan had New York strip steak, but I don’t remember what anyone else had, I know Joe had some kind of chicken sandwich almost as big as his head - no kids meal for him!
We washed it all down with some amazing cocktails - we sampled the Iron Man, Terminator and Hellboy 
Joe had a Transformers smoothie.
During the main course, an Incredibles birthday message came up for Sean on the big screens, we all cheered and clapped while he slowly died inside
Then his dessert (some sort of brownies and icecream) came out with candles in it, which we made him blow out while we all clapped and cheered again - it was a nightmare for him but we loved it!
I had a banana split for dessert, no idea what anybody else had but mine was great. We finally left around 9.30-10pm, absolutely stuffed and in Faye and Alex’s case, very nearly asleep. It was a good job we hadn’t had to wait to be seated! We never got to look around West Side but we didn’t care.
We were intending to celebrate some more back at the villa, but instead we all just went to bed exhausted! At least we could have a lie in the next day - our last full day

Yes I do. It really worked for us last time when Steve wasn’t well enough to do RD, or couldn’t stay long in the parks, and it will be similar next year with my Mum and Dad, even though they’re pretty young and don’t have any health problems.

Shopping/Pool Party Day 14
Our last full day dawned And even more upsetting, we weren’t going to Typhoon Lagoon as I had planned for months, or for one last ride on our favourite attractions - we were going shopping. We had a lie in, it was an ideal day to go out for breakfast but we had food in that needed finishing, it was a depressing start!
It was going to be Alex’s 3rd birthday the next day, but as we were flying home Lucy and Dan had decided to celebrate a day early with a pool party in the afternoon - they were having a full pool day in fact, and Sean decided to stay with them. Shopping really isn’t his thing, he bought one T shirt the whole holiday. Before we headed off, my mum asked if there was any particular mall or outlet we wanted to go to - I wasn’t bothered, I didn’t really want to buy anything though if we’d made it back to the parks I would definitely have picked up a few last minute souvenirs
We went to the Orlando Premium Outlet at Vineland Avenue. I hadn’t realised it was outdoor, and it was so hot and crowded. Steve was happy because in the first shop we went to, he got a pair of Batman Converse boots, but the rest of us were pretty grumpy. Even the Disney outlet didn’t cheer us up - there was nothing good in there at all - though the cashier in the Nike store made me and Joe laugh doing his English accent for us, then got Joe to do his American one! We didn’t really buy much, I got a T shirt and me and Joe both got new trainers. My mum and dad got quite a lot of things, But John, who had been looking forward to going shopping, didn’t buy anything at all. He had been grumbling all morning about the shops, and ended up having a row with my mum about how he had wanted to go to a proper normal mall, and she pointed out quite rightly that she had specifically asked before we set off where we wanted to go, and that was the time to say something, not when it was too late… It was awful, there was such an atmosphere in the car on the way home. I really couldn’t take John’s side on this one.
The closer we got back to the villa, the worse the weather got. We all got into our swimming costumes as soon as we got in, but it started to rain just after we made it to the pool.
Lucy said they had only had a few minutes all morning because of the weather. She had made an enormous buffet though, using all the food we had left in the freezer. It was delicious, she had done a great job considering it wasn’t her own kitchen and if it had just been sunny it would have been a fantastic party. With so much tension between John and basically everyone else, me and Steve went to eat outside, and all the kids came out with us (we had a covered eating area at the side of the pool). But it was so windy our plates were flying away and we had to admit defeat and come back inside.
Steve and I spent the evening packing. It was such hard work! I was leaving our toiletries behind and I thought that would leave lots of space for souvenirs, but we still had a few unopened sun creams that I wouldn’t leave because they cost too much, and with 3 new pairs of trainers too… We fit it all in eventually but it was a real squeeze - there were a lot more things I’d wanted to buy but hadn’t as I wasn’t sure we would have space in our cases, and it was just as well I’d resisted John had disappeared off to his room but everyone else spent the evening watching TV - my mum and Lucy both said they had done their packing already. It was such a waste of our last day

Departure Day 15
Departure day already - it only felt like we had been in Florida a few days, how could it be home time?
Steve and I were hoping for another lie in since we were all packed, but everyone else was up around 7 and making so much noise that we had to get up too. It turned out that Lucy hadn’t packed at all, their things were everywhere and we were all soon engaged in searching for missing princess dolls etc. My mum and dad were packed but my mum was busy cleaning the villa from top to bottom. It wasn’t dirty, we had kept it clean and relatively tidy, but she gets that way
We had to have the cars back by 12, and my dad wanted to allow 2 hours to get to the airport, so we were on the road just after 10am. We arrived at about 11.30, but there were already big queues at check in and security so it was just as well. We got some lunch, then had a look round duty-free. I really wanted some Vera Wang perfume but they didn’t have it 
We got lots of vodka though which made up for it a little bit! It was a long and boring wait, there were about 2 shops, but our flight was more or less on time.
The flight was pretty good, much better than the flight in. We had the second Sherlock Holmes film, I can’t remember what else. The food was good again. Joe had a sleep but the rest of us didn’t. We arrived in Manchester at 5am our time, but it was only midnight in Florida so although we were tired, we weren’t exhausted. Though by the time we’d been through customs and collected our luggage, we really were! We eventually got home at about 7am, dumped the suitcases and went to bed - not the best thing for jetlag but we didn’t care!
I can’t believe this is my last proper update!

Summary
All in all, it was a fantastic holiday! Though it might not have sounded like it
My highlights were (in no particular order) -
- snacking and drinking around World Showcase - I just wish we could have spent longer there.
- riding EE for the first - and second - time, it’s a great ride.
- WWoHP, I loved Hogsmeade so much and the Butterbeer was to die for.
- how much Joe loved the thrill rides!
- my dad being the rebel spy on Star Tours, it was hysterical.
- managing to get Joe into JTA despite missing rope drop, and him kicking Vader’s butt!
- Magic, Memories and You/Wishes - I love these so much.
I could go on but I’d be here all day
There were low points too as you may have noticed! Everyone recommended discussing plans with the whole family so everyone was on board - well we did, and we agreed to go out for breakfast most days…I had dreamed of big fat american pancakes with maple syrup for months, and what did I get? A couple of slices of toast and some Fruit Loops! It may seem silly but it was a real disappointment. And we’d agreed to RD, that didn’t happen. I really wish we had got another car, but when we booked I hadn’t been driving long and wasn’t very confident. It would have allowed us to do what we really wanted, when we wanted, and not be tied by what my parents wanted to do.
The worst thing of all about the holiday is that now in 2018 my brother is still not allowed into my sister’s house and my brother in law won’t speak to him or acknowledge him at all. Not because of the argument funnily enough. John is pretty sarcastic especially when he thinks someone has said something dumb, and apparently over the course of a 2 week holiday he made enough sarcastic comments to Dan that he can’t get over it. Families eh, who’d have them?!
We didn’t find the heat and the crowds that bad. Although I seem to have complained about the heat a lot! It definitely helped that we used a touring plan every day so we didn’t have horrific waits in the main, and we used the best park recommendations on easy WDW - they worked for us. I would happily go in late July again.
Our favourite snacks were the Butterfinger cupcake at Starring Rolls, pastries at the Patisserie in France, caramels in Germany and churros everywhere we found them. The OGMS was delicious!
Though we didn’t really meet a lot of characters, I loved meeting Pooh and Tigger. Joe loved meeting Phineas and Ferb, and also Push in Tomorrowland. I forgot to write about that in my report - he didn’t really get to talk to him but he did look in the back of him and was killing himself laughing that there was actual rubbish in him!
The best thing about our trip was that it persuaded Steve we need to go again 
Without the family this time! It will be a few years (ended up being 4 years) but we hope to stay on site next time, at both Disney and Universal. He even said he could imagine having a holiday home in Florida one day - when we win the lottery 
Thank you for taking the time to read my trip report 
I hope you enjoyed it, and maybe even found some of it useful. For now though, I’ll see ya real soon
