    Diary of an Aussie Disney Honeymooner

    All international flights done and dusted After trying for a long time to no avail, and finally confirming with Qantas over the phone this morning, I have been unable to get us business class flights with points for the trip from Singapore back to Perth. It's frustrating, because the flights...

    2024 Destash Dare to be Bare!

    I've got a whole pile of stuff ready to take down to the op shop... it's been sitting there for weeks, just can't seem to manage to get it out of the house! Didn't even manage to fill the bin last night for rubbish day since we were a little out of routine. Next week!

    Group rate for rooms?

    I think this might only apply to Disney wedding couples? This is from the Disney website: To be eligible for a group rate at Walt Disney World, you are required to book 10 rooms or more. I know I was not still offered a group rate for our stay of 14 nights once we decided not to proceed with...

    Group rate for rooms?

    There are mixed reviews on this. We were going to use the room block mainly because of the free nights, but that might just be a perk for Disney wedding couples. The discount they offered seemed substantial enough to be worthwhile for us. I've heard that sometimes discounted room rates are...

    A Week Around the Small World! Paris to Hong Kong to Shanghai to Tokyo TR!

    Really enjoying your TR so far! WDS is generally considered the weakest park in the world. Sounds like they're aiming to do some major improvements 🤞 Back in 2013, my Dad and I went straight to CC at opening and ended up spending 90 minutes in line! Was a great ride, but I'm afraid a one and...

    2024 Destash Dare to be Bare!

    Haha my partner does the same thing. Undies too. He can't seem to bring himself to throw them out until there's nothing left but a bit of over-stretched elastic and a bit of frayed binding holding together a couple of worn out pieces of fabric 😂

    Disneyland Hotel

    It's been a while since I've been to HKDL, but I've always enjoyed my meals at Walt's. I also loved the atmosphere in the lobby, just sitting with a drink and enjoying the musicians, character greetings or just people watching. Enchanted Garden was a nice character breakfast but there wasn't...

    Which route through Oregon

    I did a road trip through Oregon with my ex in March 2015. We did a loop from Portland along the Columbia River Highway, down through Bend and then across to Eugene, across to the coast for a couple of nights, and then back to Portland via Silver Falls State Park. You can see my TR here (it's...

    2024 Trips

    We tried so hard to fit this into our trip, but just couldn't manage it. We were supposed to go to Japan last year so we missed out on seeing Nintendo Land there, and we'll miss the new one in Orlando by a few months too... We will eventually get there!

    Tokyo & Hong Kong - how long to stay?

    I assume you mean for TDR since you're only planning 2 days at HKDL? I believe you can book multiple packages to cover more nights, but you may have to move rooms even if you can get the same hotel. Many people find it easier to just book the hotel and then add tickets separately. I would...

    Tokyo & Hong Kong - how long to stay?

    I haven't made it to TDR yet, but I think for most people, 2 days should be plenty at HKDL. Many people have considered it a 1 or even half day park, but now with the new Frozen area you should be able to fill in 2 days. Personally I love HKDL and can spend 4-5 days there easily - it's just such...

    Disney's CONTEMPORARY RESORT Information & Questions

    Oh, I didn't know that! Does that mean if we're staying at BLT we're not allowed to use the CR pool? Not that we probably will in winter, but good to be prepared!

    Book ends nearly complete With accommodation now booked for our short stopovers on the way to and from the US, we are gradually getting our itinerary locked in. We now have all accommodation booked except for our first few and last few nights at Disney. And all international flights except the...

    The Widow and the Spinster: The Search for Adventure, Enlightenment, and the Quest for Forbidden food - Bacon, Bacon, Bacon, and New TR Link! 4/2

    I haven't commented much, but have thoroughly enjoyed reading your TR, so thank you for posting! Sadly, I can suffer from travel sickness and have been on the other side of that experience, throwing up for most of the 15 hour flight from LA to Sydney, all the while highly conscious of the...

    2024 Destash Dare to be Bare!

    We had our council collection the other day. Got rid of: Queen size mattress (good one to get out of the way!) Several old rusty star pickets Couple of large wooden poles Large sheet of metal that somehow ended up in our yard on a recent very windy night! Half a dozen large plastic tubs that...
