Trip report 2011
Ok so I’m now officially starting with the post Disney blues and I thought the only way to overcome them was to begin to write a trip report. Hopefully this will be beneficial for all!
Ok – my cast
Well there was just myself and my DH
Our trip summary
We are DVC members so stay on site. This year we had 5 nights at Boardwalk (our home resort). We then boarded the Disney Dream and did a 5 night Bahamas cruise where we stopped twice at Disney’s private island Castaway Cay. After the cruise we returned to Wdw and stayed at the Animal kingdom Villas – Kidani Village.
It was an amazing trip with so many special memories!
Wednesday 10th Aug – Off to the airport hotel.
We live in the North East and as we were flying virgin from Manchester we drove the night before to the airport hotel. We were staying at the Hilton, and doing the park and fly with them. We had booked via holiday extras for a double room, 2 weeks parking and 2 additional days. We had a 15% off voucher code and paid £98 in total.
We arrived at the Hilton around 8.30 pm and we were both tired and emotionally wrecked. It has been a very hard year for us and counting down and planning this holiday has been our only escape. We couldn’t believe it was finally upon us. We checked in and went to our room. It was very clean and presentable; it also had a lovely view of a brick wall! LOL not a problem though. We filled in the form about our car and went back to reception to hand our keys over. They said the shuttle to the airport would run every 15 mins in the morning and just show up when we wanted to go!
After handing over the info and keys we headed to the hotel bar. Drinks were a bit pricey but it was a hotel bar and to be expected. It was about 9pm and they were still doing food. We had eaten on the way down and just had liquid refreshment. The place was busy but we were able to get some comfy seats and sat down to people watch. There were a lot of air stewards checking in from different airlines and we laughed and made up imaginary stories about all the people. At around 10.30 we decided we couldn’t keep our eyes open and would head to bed.
