Sorry to read the great train saga !!
Glad it's sorted now for you.
Looking forward to reading more of your plans
Nice that you got something re the train problem - hopefully everything else will go smoothly for you
Also a special mention for Charlotte's festive peas in a pod. She loves them. 
It's *** I am a Geordie! 
Loving the decs for your room, I can't wait to see pics!
Wow, loving your PTR, I feel all excited for you when reading it!
Awesome purchases, I had fleece leggings in Feb from New Look - I was too hot!
Best thing about the Disboards- sharing everyone's excitement! I am the opposite - always, always freezing, so hopefully multiple layers will keep me warm. It will be nice if we are too warm though as it will mean we have got good weather! We think we're going to pay to have some macaroons in the room so that when we arrive we can have a bit of a celebration eating them and putting the decorations up before heading in to the park 
Here's some photos of the things we have been buying/gathering ahead of the trip:
This is the 'sensible' stuff - thermals, boots, snacks (not quite as many as last time!!!)
This is the stuff we've bought to decorate our room. We would love a Christmas themed room but just don't think we can justify the expense, so we have bought some little decorations to put in ourselves to make it a bit festive. We've also got a few birthday bits as the day we arrive will only be 4 days after our 21st so we feel that we can still celebrate
Lastly is just a picture of the wallet I've been using to keep things like the hotel reservation and Eurostar tickets in. Charlotte's bought a travel wallet that she's very fond of! So we're keeping our train tickets and things in there. We've also bought some pin badges from ebay to (hopefully) trade.
more peas in a pod great !!!
Our annual passports arrived!!! Fifteen days after we sent them, woo! Very excited now
They are so efficient! And you have some lovely purchases for your hols 
Really pleased your APs arrived. Must be a weight off your mind.
the decorations are mostly from the internet and I think some were from the pound shop? Fairy lights are always a good choice!

I love creating a pile of things for Disney too in the run up to a trip - I take it all out and look at it and put it back in again about a million times before we go
Glad it's not just me.
I've been very busy procrastinating recently, and have made a scrapbook...it's got all my to do lists/meal plans written up neatly and i'm going to take it with us to stick receipts/other bits of rubbish in along the way!
Here's the front cover (i've liberally applied PVA glue to prevent it getting ruined
In case you're wondering, i've not used the book upside-down...the ring binder is on the right hand side because it's a 'special' left-handed notebook that Christie brought for me last Christmas (incase you're not left-handed and don't know, ring binders can really get in the way of writing sometimes!
And here's the first page... I had a bit of a disaster with the mickey faces because I get a bit excited whenever glitter is involved and dived straight in and made a bit of a mess!
