Will be nice to have 2 and a half weeks of not worrying about the daily routine, and just relaxing with the missus and friends

Yup there is that. Got to admit though, if we had not committed to it the day we got back last year, we probably would not be going....

So I will be booking up the 2010 trip either just before we go, or on our return lol. Im crap at planning.

Thumbs up

Snaz - If you get time, (like you won't have much in 2 1/2 weeks), try to get yourself down to the House of Blues at Downtown Disney. It does good food or you can just sit outside with a long cold one and listen to live music outside whilst swinging to the music on the sprung loaded chairs. (There is the concert hall to the side and the separate bar/restaurant which is where we normally go)

House of Blues Orlando Tickets | HouseOfBlues.com


If you have some $$$ Spare - I can 100% recommend the Cirque du Soleil

La Nouba Official Website | Cirque du Soleil

Have fun

Cirque du Soliel just dont do it for me. Been tempted a few times, but for the money I cant be bothered lol.

House of Blues however has crossed my mind, especially last year
Lots of places still to go to, but this year is a poor boys trip, so McDonalds is gonna be a treat.

I will be hanging out in Walmart

I will be hookin up with my friends again this year Les, and borrowing one of their cars too lol.
If there is anything worth taking a picture of, rest assured I shall

I've always fancied a trip to Barbados, maybe the Dominican, but Jamaica doesn't appeal to me.

Think it's time to start looking and twisting arms of friends who should come too

What you want to do on holiday will determine which Caribbean place to do.
Dominican is lovely for relaxing and fun. Would not leave the resorts much though. Beautiful inside, poverty outside.
Punta Cana was lovely, all inclusive, and well catered

Bizarre airport too lol

lol I have no idea what you mean, I have wiped Florida 08 from my memory

PS 139 hours to go, not that I am counting.

PPS I think you meant "mate", even that would have been pushing it even when we did get on lol

first time out there so did virtually everything.

all water parks were superb, non disney parks better than disney ones, especially for adults.

everything is so easy to find, parks shopping etc, get onto route 4 and follow the signs, and also so close to everything else.

there were fantastic storms 5 afternoons out of our first week, however, only lasted a couple of hours and every one left the parks, longest we queued for anything was 25 minutes, however most stuff had barely a queue ( i don t think this is normal but great for us).

stayed in disney this time but will stay in a villa next year, now we have an idea of locations and how easy travel is, however may do the disney vacation club thing and stay at animal lodge.

new manta ride at sea world is great, and simpsons simulator was good, spiderman was my favourite, but other half liked kraken. the shows in the parks were awesome too, lion king was as good as when we saw it in the westend a few months ago (but not as long).

service everywhere was outstanding, especially in everything disney, but prices were not as cheap as everyone made out (maybe the crap exchange rate didn t help). jeans, timberland stuff and rockport clothes were cheap but nike etc were cheaper but not enough to think i will replace my whole wardrobe.

hae a great time, really jealous, eed to book next year, any one any suggestions on villas?
