Matt's 18th Birthday trip - Now Live

[wayneg]

Here we go again, 9 days to go so its time for a little dance.

We fly 18th July with VA in PE on the A330, 3 nights at Fairfield Inn (Formerly Country Inn & Suites) Flights and hotel mostly funded by airmiles.
On the 21st we check into OKW for 21 nights with free DDP.
24th we go back to the airport to drop off our full size SUV. We then collect a 7 seater minivan along with relatives who are flying in via Atlanta (Lucy, Paul & Lily for anyone that remembers last years trip).

On 26th July we will celebrate Matt's 18th Birthday with a meal at Grand Floridian Cafe.

5th Aug DISmeet, hope we can add more names, let me know. http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2852630&highlight=okw+meet

It certainly does, how old was he when we met you and Ian? was it Oct 08? he would have been 14 then.

No problem at all. If you look on the DISign pages you might find some ready done, I think thats where we got some from last year.

Not long now. I see Lucy, Paul & Lily Mae have caught the Disney bug. We're celebrating Stephens 15th birthday on the 11th at the Grand Floridian Cafe, decided on this after reading your review last year, looks right up our street. Can't make the meet as arrive 9th, really enjoyed it 2010. We will be in MK on the 10th & 11th, if you happen to be there, keep an eye out for us. Meeting Joh & Family at RPR, so having a little meet.

I am 99% certain we will be in the MK on the 10th as its our last full day there. Probably in for opening then out lunchtime to mid afternoon as we are at Hoop Dee Doo in the evening.

Wow only 9 days left that's come around fast! I'm excited that we're going to be having another trippie from you and hopefully some food photos! Love the invites that you've done for Lilly she is one lucky little girl!

 

[Mrs Doubtfire]

Sounds like you're going to have a great time - I bet Matt can't wait for it all to start

Hope you have an amazing time and that Matt has an 18th to remember

We ate at GFC on our last night - I don't recommend the chicken with risotto (one of my favourite meals) as it was a bit bland DH had the steak which he enjoyed and our friend had the pasta which was also good. Think I was just unlucky.

We will be there for opening & leaving about 11.30. So will look out for you.

Oh Wayne.... Your pre-trip into trip followed by a post trip will be the perfect way to count down to our trip.

Made the mistake of showing DD the invites - she wants to make them for all our reservations.

Have an amazing time and I look forward to your updates!

Always have the steak in there, can't see me ordering anything else.
