I'm sure I'm very affected by all this Disney talk

I usually wait until about a month to go before I start a pre-trippie, but I'm just too excited today to wait any longer!
We had a wonderful holiday last October to celebrate my 40th birthday with all our kids there too. My eldest two will be 21 and 18 at the beginning of May and we have a lot of bits and bobs to pay for around the house so I didn't think we'd manage a trip to Disney this year........as ridiculous as it sounds, the thought of that made me very sad We've been every year since 2009 and a few before then too.
So, when the current deal of 30% off with free half board was advertised I had a sneeky look and thought the prices looked ok. Started checking flights and they were ok too. We spoke to the kids and my eldest wasn't bothered about coming (no big surprise) but Abbey also said she wasn't bothered this year either After much discussion I took the plunge and booked for me, DH and our youngest, Lewis who'll be 11 by then.
Very excited by it all, I've been looking at photos of past trips and got chatting to Abbey this afternoon and I asked her for a final time if she was sure she didn't want to come. She said she did want to come but thought it would be too late - needless to say I booked her flight and added her on with the travel company in about 10 minutes flat
As you may have gathered - I'm a tad excited
Where
The Hotel New York of course, where else? Been here so many times I've lost count. Love the easy walk to the parks, the civilised breakfast and not needing to get on a bus at all. I've said it a million times but I love being in our Disney Bubble when we stay here - the real world is left behind for a few days.
When
Sunday 4 October - Thursday 8 October 2014. This is the week before we usually go. The school holiday week is the following week but I couldn't get the time off work this year so we've decided to take Lewis out of school for a few days. There are 2 in service days the week we go so he's only missing 3 days.
The Cast
Me - Julie (40)
DH - John (44)
DD - Abbey (18) by then
DS2 - Lewis (11) by then
Here's one of my favourite photos of our last visit:
And another of them where you can actually see what Abbey looks like
She's the one on the left......
So far I've booked the flights (suitcase added on too), booked Disney via Walt Disney Travel Company and I've also booked Ezyshuttle to get us to and from the airport.
Places we want to eat include Bistro Chez Remy, Walts, Parkside Diner and maybe Cafe Mickey. Meal plan is included so we'll make the most of it and use at face value if we need to.
That's me for now - sorry it's so long in advance but my calendar says 199 days so not that long really
